Literature emoji game!

[Nick]

With the holidays fast approaching, what better time to catch up on some reading? While browsing a few books and trying to decide which ones to get, I realised we haven’t done a game for quite some time on the CC. 

Fear not though, the time has come, and this time is all about literature (looking at you @Ann72). You know the old saying about not judging a book by its cover, but what about emojis?

Can you identify the novels below by their emoji representation?

One thing to keep in mind: in many countries worldwide, book titles get translated, but I made the quiz according to the original US or UK titles. And as always, let's have one guess each time so more people can play. 

Have fun! 😉

😂😂😂

*Stephanie Edit - fixed your *bleep*!

Nr 5:

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Roald Dahl)

[Nick]

Correct 😃🍫 @Emiel1

[Ann72]

@Nick Please let me know when it’s my turn again as I’m dying to answer 12 and 13!  🤓

[Emiel1]

@Ann72 

For me 13 seems to be rather easy (There is a relation between the author's name and a German car brand.... ) , but no idea about nr 12

[Ann72]

@Emiel1  (Whispering) (12 is Murakami and 13 is Woolf ☺️)

[Emiel1]

@Ann72 

Aha, thanks for the hint !

Let's keep nr 13 as a secret: It is VW and the emoji shows "The  _____  !
