The Hidden Books Game 2022

[Hayley]

It’s that time of the year again! The National Book Tokens site has just posted the hidden books game for this year - the prize is a £500 book token (how amazing would that shopping trip be…) but I just find them fun too. I have only managed to get three on my first try though…

Update: Had another look while I ate a sandwich and I’m up to 8 now. I have absolutely no idea what the dog behind the cash register is going to be 🤔

I have managed to get 18, but I am completely stuck on the last two.

Oh well done!! Which two do you have left?

[Brian.]

I've only managed 6 so far.

[lunababymoonchild]

I got 4, so far

I’m now only needing the one – the bird in the cage – the other one that I had been stuck on, I now have. It turns out it was one I did know, and I had tried it before, but I must have just been typing the title in wrong somehow.

That was the first one I got. I don't mind sharing, if you want (you'll kick yourself)

[EnglishRose29]

I'm at 19/20 but can't find the last one!!

 

I've got the confidential room, the woman with music notes, the man in bright clothes, the bird in a cage, the heart at the door, the snowman, the lady on a ladder, the two life books, Eve on the stairs, the cat, the card game, the Arrakis poster, the US fin book, the travel books, the river books, READ ME, the apple, the counter, and the dog.

 

What am I missing?!

There are two clues on the life book shelf.

the bird in the cage

Clue for this one:

Spoiler

What is the bird doing?

Can someone give me a clue for the dog please!? 

[Kudz]

The name on the collar is significant and the images on the books on the counter combine for part of the title along with what the dog is doing.

I am up to 8 but I'm sure that's all I'm going to get 😪

Got it! Thank you! 😁

Got another two! I'm doing better than expected. Thank you anyway.

How is everyone doing on this? Anyone needing any clues?

The woman at the top of the ladder with the book flying away and what is the heart beneath the door?

[Hayley]

I am also stuck on the woman on the ladder! (Although it seems frustratingly familiar!?)

 

I can’t work out Eve carrying the books either 🤔

You have to think of what the heart is acting as.

It does!

Right, then, I'll ponder

[lunababymoonchild]

I've got the heart one (thank you). The Eve one eludes me as does the flying book.

There are several clues I could give you for this one, but I’ll give you the two easiest ones; it is a classic and there is a song with the same title as the book.

Think about who Eve was.

Oh, I get it now! I was thinking along completely the wrong lines - I was thinking of the relevance of the book too much!

I was really overcomplicating this one too... I was putting things in about the colour and pattern of her dress 

 

Thank you!

I thought that it was All About Eve. But no.

Still not got this, though

Who was Eve in relation to the bible?

Okay, so think about the actual picture clues then; we are looking for a two-word title of a classic book and there happens to be song with the same title, the singer of which looks fairly like the woman on the ladder. The first word is related to the weather or more specifically the wind and the woman up the ladder could be conquering her fear of ….?

Got this.

 

and got the Eve reference.
