Hayley Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 While we were offline, National Book Tokens posted their yearly 'Hidden Books Game'! I had a quick go and I think this year is the hardest one yet. https://caboodle.nationalbooktokens.com/hiddenbooks/ I've only got 3 so far!

Which one did you get? I feel like I’m never going to get the cafe one. And I’m totally confused about the zombie! Plus all I think when I look at the cereal clue is ‘cereal killer’ (which is not, sadly, the answer!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I know 2 but I haven't got a clue for any of the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at that damn illustration last night, and I still have no idea any the wiser! 20 hours ago, Hayley said: I feel like I’m never going to get the cafe one.

The cafė is another one that is totally baffling, and it didn’t help when I had Googled for the name of funiculi funicula either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie H Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I managed another one.... but this year’s hidden books are ridiculously hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayley Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 National Book Tokens posted some clues on twitter. I'll put them in spoiler quotes just in case someone doesn't want any clues but they're still hard! The cafe: Spoiler In a small back alley in Tokyo, A warm beverage can be yours for an amount of dough. Time goes by quickly, to some degree But only with a darker poison (not tea). The flowers: Spoiler This tale is about two Afghanistan women, And the challenging times that they live in, To make this a little bit more easy, The title of this book is found in a poem by Saib Tabrizi. The 'zombie' Spoiler What unites Frankenstein and Loch Ness? And potentially this author's name no less, This book has found success as a theatrical production, Its subject matter focussing on losing a loved one. The dog Spoiler Not to be confused with out head of state, Although this young woman also has a lot on her plate, South West London is her home, This book has been likened as a contemporary Bridget Jones. The bees Spoiler A maker of honey, Plus the opposite of hate, A pioneering author adored by many, Themes of civil rights and community are centre stage. Even after the extra clues I have absolutely no idea what the cafe, zombie or bees are representing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie H Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I got the zombie one after the clue, but I would never had got it just with the painting! And after the clue for the café, I think I have even less chance of working this one out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
