THE STICKY NOTE OF NEWS

I've got a new About Me page! No particular reason, I just thought it was a fun replacement for the now-defunct Review Policy page I had before. Plus I can chop and change it on a regular basis, which will give me something else to play with when I'm bored at the shop. :)

SWUR: Book Puzzles

Now, I am well aware that I'm not eligible for the official Book Puzzle Challenge, hosted by Amanda at Pearl the Book Girl, but it sounded like fun so I thought I'd do a post anyway.  The idea is to create book puzzles made up of multiple images.  So, say I was creating a puzzle for Sweet Venom by Tera Lynn Childs, it might look like this:


See?  Okay, so here are a few more I came up with, because I was bored and I didn't want to read because my head was all fuzzy.  Anyone care to take a guess or seven?

Puzzle 1
Clue: "It wasn't over... it still isn't over!"


Puzzle 2
Clue: The author of this one is like Twilight with hayfever.


Puzzle 3
Clue: Climb aboard the good ship Chocolat!


Puzzle 4
Clue: Mr Amanda Palmer says "Boo!"


Puzzle 5
Clue: I bet Michael Jackson had a really bad memory.


Puzzle 6
Clue: The Queen loves a good round of Scrabble


Puzzle 7
Clue: Of columns of dirt and houses of God


Did you get any of them?!  Answer in the comments... you know you want to!

ANSWERS:  1) The Notebook - Nicholas Sparks  2) Hunting Unicorns - Bella Pollen  3) The Lollipop Shoes - Joanne Harris  4) The Graveyard Book - Neil Gaiman  5) Moonwalking with Einstein - Joshua Safran Foer  6) A Game of Thrones - George R.R. Martin  7) The Pillars of the Earth - Ken Follett

  3. I got #3, #4 and #7, and I'm quite sure I got #1 too.
    The others are a little bit harder to me! I don't think I'll guess them soon.

    Really a funny game! :)

    1. Wow,#2's still stumping people... It IS fun isn't it? Kinda like taking a crossword break mid-readathon! :)

    2. I think I got #2. Maybe it is not a direct clue for the book title is it? Can't figure #5 yet. Fun break for the readathon.

    3. The pictures are a direct clue like the others; the written clue in red is for author... *drifts away shrouded in enigmatic mist*

  7. Hmm, I think I got #1 and #7, have no clue of the rest. But, I've never been good at puzzles, lol. :)

    1. I tell ya, it's a lot easier to write/post clues than it is to solve them. I'm no good at cryptic ones either! ;)

    3. I got the second one wrong damn, I get the clue now tho. There is a few hunting unicorn type titles haha x

  9. Good one! got it all correct except #2 and #5. Didn't notice the unicorns, thought they were ocean horses and came to the conclusion hunting Ocean horses so it should be Scorpio races. Great fun!
