Two left:

Belle - guessing something Beauty - trying to think outside the box

Travel books - all set in New York is that significant?

Read all the clues but still stumped. Help!

A specific area of New York. Famous novel and film

KatBurglar · 16/11/2023 15:47

@pinkpixie83 - all the titles in the travel section are for one very specific place

@Phonedown - Look at the titles of Annie's recommendation s, they are synonyms

@SlayB - Morris dancers come from which country? Someone being treated by a paramedic can be called...

@KatBurglar Thank you for your Morris Dancer clue. I thought of that book but the image was so specific and unlike the book, I didn't even test it!

TotalOverhaul · 17/11/2023 10:47

Please does anyone have any clues for the women with a massive hat and luggage or the wedding photo?

Even with MN clues I am only on 13!

Thanks @TotalOverhaul I'd got it

Got14 all by myself but needed this thread for some help with the others. The Bestsellers and Lion were horrendous. Annoyingly I did think there might do the Best sellers one but still didn't manage it.

Interesting to see things that others have got stuck on. The Natural History one was the first one I got because of the child's costume. Used to be my favourite book though.

I thought that about the Bestseller one. I was looking out for it, but not in that format. Quite clever.

Character from the show on her Tshirt going somewhere.

Formal picture of the relationship they are now in

TotalOverhaul · 17/11/2023 10:58

@Mothership4two - thank you for the woman in hat. I finally twigged the wedding one.

Now stuck on woman with sun on her teeshirt. I know my brain is too literal for this game but still love it!

TheaDecker · 17/11/2023 11:01

@TotalOverhaul

I googled rabbit and monkey book for this one. Try that!

Mothership4two · 17/11/2023 11:03

Bestseller and door one I got quite quickly. . Needed help with travel one as I was thinking too broadly.

Lion one took forever and I couldn't have done it without help on here. Was given brilliant clues but hadn't watched the TV show that people were referring to. Corruption and sounds like clues were making me think the book started with Lying and H went right over my head - I was thinking Hector's House (that dates me) but remembered that was a dog not a lion!

Mothership4two · 17/11/2023 11:07

Now stuck on woman with sun on her teeshirt. I know my brain is too literal for this game but still love it!

Actually that one is quite literal @TotalOverhaul. The girl's name is similar to name on bag and her tshirt design features as well.

It's on my 'to read' list so popped into my head

TotalOverhaul · 17/11/2023 11:07

Just one left. The girl with Kurara on her bag, wearing sunshine teeshirt. I just haven't a clue. I googled Kurara but just got loads of links to a book series called Rebel Skies

TotalOverhaul · 17/11/2023 11:09

@Mothership4two - I don't think I'll get it then. Just no ideas at all, even with your big clues. Thank you for the others!

WhatWouldHopperDo · 17/11/2023 11:09

I'm just stuck on the Lion and The Bin - any more clues for those?

TotalOverhaul · 17/11/2023 11:10

Oh duh. Just got it. Thank you!

ElizabethBennetsBoots · 17/11/2023 11:13

Sooo stuck on Natural History, the Lady with the Hat and Bags, the Sunshine Lady, the Morris man, and the Bin.

TotalOverhaul · 17/11/2023 11:13

Lovely MN. Thank you. I'd have been there all day. Now I have to do some work!

TotalOverhaul · 17/11/2023 11:17

ElizabethBennetsBoots · 17/11/2023 11:13

Sooo stuck on Natural History, the Lady with the Hat and Bags, the Sunshine Lady, the Morris man, and the Bin.

Natural History is a book for very young children. You might recognise the figure in the crown from it. If you don't ,the title is about a place where untamed creatures dwell.

Morris man is a bit of a lateral clue. Morris Men are from which country? Add someone being nursed...

Bin: Think of synonyms for rubbish and country.

@AppropriateAdult

Greek women - the place is where Helen comes from

Pet Dragon - put Dragon into the search of an online bookstore.

Ah, got 'em! Thank you Flowers

Just stuck on natural history title

Look at the outfit. Very famous children's book which was also made into a film

ElizabethBennetsBoots · 17/11/2023 11:26

Ahh thank you @TotalOverhaul I even studied it at uni!

CaptainMyCaptain · 17/11/2023 11:27

TotalOverhaul · 17/11/2023 10:27

I have eight and am so stuck!

Morris Dancer and paramedic??? Seems like if you don't know it, you can'tguess it. But I now want to read a love stpry between a Morris dancer and a paramedic!

I used to know a Morris Dancer who was a paramedic. 😀He drove an ambulance.

TotalOverhaul · 17/11/2023 11:31

@CaptainMyCaptain LOL! I like the sound of him.

Happygranny59 · 17/11/2023 11:32

Think of Marian Keyes

KatBurglar · 17/11/2023 11:44

So glad to read all the other people having fun and scratching their heads about this.
