Just as the title says. I got eight right away, but am now stuck. I have to go out for the rest of the day, hopefully I’ll get a few more tonight.

My post should say this years game has now opened.

I've forgotten where to find it. I'll look now!

Here it is! caboodle.nationalbooktokens.com/hiddenbooks

grannydarkhair You beat me to it! I got their email to say it is open, but by the time I logged in to GN and began to start a new thread, you had posted.

Thanks for this. I'll have a go.

How is this going?
I’m stuck on two -
Us Fin
And I can’t find the last one

Got them all!

Pittcity Sun 13-Nov-22 20:36:23

I've finished too.

Blimey, I’m impressed. I got 6 really quickly, and was thinking it was a lot easier than last year’s. Then I came to a grinding halt….. Pride coming before a fall!

I've only got 10 so far. I will have another go tomorrow and hope inspiration strikes.

13. I’ll have to sleep on the rest.

Maggiemaybe Mon 14-Nov-22 00:32:02

The last one I got is the book I’m currently reading. Duh!

Rosie51 Mon 14-Nov-22 00:35:06

Finished! Some were really obscure..... lots of lateral, even crazy, thinking needed on some of them, and a bucket load of luck!

Some of the puns were dreadful.

Does anyone know anyone who has won? I do it every year and know lots of others who do it too, but have never heard of even a friend’s brother’s neighbour’s cousin winning anything.

I won a £10 book token the first year I did it. I’d only heard about it on GN. smile

I was delighted because I didn’t know that there were runners up prizes.

Well I’ve finished, phew! It was fun but hard, in fact I’d to resort to looking at the clues on Twitter for some of them (the ones I’d never heard of).
