Literature emoji game!

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! 😉
