I was thinking too lateral. Easy when you see it 😁

Finally finished!

For the sunshine lady, the name on her bag is in the title of the Japanese translation. Very famous nobel prizewinning author.

I must be missing something, as hardly anyone seems to be struggling with the mythology clue, and it’s the only one I haven’t got! I’ve tried about 10 different titles without success. I know what they are and where they came from - why can I not get the answer???

Daisymaybe60 · 17/11/2023 15:27

Got it! It was one I’d tried before so I must have mistyped.

Phew, I’m all done! 😀

Have you spelt it correctly? That’s where I went wrong at first. Google the name of the book you think it is and check the spelling.

The revision guides are all about a certain subject. You could have classes in it. What's another word for classes?

Fifitrixibooks · 18/11/2023 13:37

I can not get this Lion one and none of the clues here are helping. I don’t understand what the phrase ‘Nicking bent coppers’ is referring to and have can’t think of what words could sound like lion other than liar or lies.

please send help……or gin.

InMySpareTime · 18/11/2023 13:39

@Fifitrixibooks Google "nicking bent coppers tv" to see what the series is.
Then change the last word to the English translation of Belle (it rhymes with the last word in the tv series)

Fifitrixibooks · 18/11/2023 13:44

Oh my goodness thank you. I’ve never heard of it but I’ve done it so that’s ok. I managed 18 ok but got completely stuck in that one. Just have the wedding picture one to go now. Any pearls of wisdom for that one anyone??

InMySpareTime · 18/11/2023 13:46

What does a wedding result in? And what orientation is the picture?

Fifitrixibooks · 18/11/2023 13:56

Just got it before popping back in and reading this but a great great clue. Thank you.

Adifferentcorner · 18/11/2023 15:26

I’m stuck on the headless man, the woman going on holiday and the sad books, can’t seem to get them from the clues you’ve all given 😩

Adifferentcorner · 18/11/2023 15:34

I’ve just got the sad books title thanks to a clue from @Time40 eatlier! Thank you

senua · 18/11/2023 15:35

headless man: not just his head. The book is over a hundred years old.
Woman: look at her T-shirt. You have three names to go at there.
sad books: go through synonyms for very-sad-ness.

drspouse · 18/11/2023 16:58

I have "nearly there" for both the mythological women and the lion. That usually means one letter out but I can't think how to edit them beyond what I have already.

drspouse · 18/11/2023 17:02

Oh and is there a children's one this year?

TheaDecker · 18/11/2023 17:08

@drspouse Are you missing a ‘The’ at the beginning perhaps?

drspouse · 18/11/2023 17:10

Indeed I was. From both Blush

Bohemond23 · 18/11/2023 17:46

I am all done too - thanks to various clues on here.

WMA · 18/11/2023 23:13

I have 8/20. I think I just haven’t heard of the rest
as the clues here are leaving me more baffled than beforehand….
