@lornamusique @sheekey_m Thank you! I'd tried this earlier but put 'three' in the title, and it came up 'wrong', so I thought it must be a different book 😭

@BethanMay @sheekey_m They’re not domesticated but… They’re regal elegant birds rather than paper cranes

This is HARD, I’m on 15 and hitting the biggest of walls #HiddenBooksGame

@_patchworkpages @floppypaxman Thanks Molly!

@BethanMay @floppypaxman i am not poppy BUT what type of bird is it? that's key. it's a memoir that had a highly anticipated sequel out this year!

final three. I hate everything and everyone. I have never read a single book in my life

@lornamusique @sheekey_m It's literally what's been ticked. It's a fairly recent book I'm stuck on the three birds 😩

@sheekey_m Got everything now except social calendar thank you - I can’t figure out that one!!

@floppypaxman @_patchworkpages Poppy what is this one?!?! It's driving me spare

@BethanMay @_patchworkpages Infuriating times!

@floppypaxman @_patchworkpages Same here when I got the tree one. Internally. Because I'm in work 🤣

@_patchworkpages I JUST SCREAMED

@serenebutterfly @BookLeap They are paraphrased from other clues I've found on here today 🤣

@BethanMay @BookLeap Your clues are so much better than mine!

And I’ve done it! For another year, I’ve completed the #HiddenBooksGame! It’s been such a frustrating one this year with some tricky clues but it’s certainly kept me entertained while I’ve been stuck in bed and kept me company whilst I’ve been alone!

@BookLeap @serenebutterfly You are so close with just "vegetables" 🙈 who eats those? The seasons - what do seasons make up and what do you do on a break? I've just got the three birds left, it's driving me mad

@serenebutterfly Well done! I still need the vegetable books and the seasons books 😂

@goodban_sophie @TinyWriterLaura I can't get this one either! 🙈

@TinyWriterLaura Anyone got the blanket ?

i have 7 so far and i’m ready to kms #HiddenBooksGame

So is there a Go Fund Me page getting set up to get #JackieP her kitchen? #DestinationX

@AndCapernosity She could only use it for that one map room, and she didn't get chosen to play the map room - so she ended up not being able to play it. She could have given it to another player but chose not to

Was Judith’s golden X a figment of my imagination? Has she used it? Is she saving it for the final? #destinationx
