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! 😉

@Emiel1  Yes!  And a secret it is 😉

[Nick]

yes, yes, yes 😃 @Ann72 @Emiel1 

[Nick]

Go for it @Ann72

@Nick #2 Grapes of Wrath -John Steinbeck

[Nick]

Correct @Michelle1164 😃

[Ann72]

Okay, @Nick, 12 is Norwegian Wood and 13 is The Waves!

When you know, you know @Ann72 😃

@Nick   #10 - Bram Stoker's "Dracula" ?   I have #16 too, if nobody else gets it. 

[Nick]

That is right @Michelle53 

[Ann72]

With #16, @Nick, we again have the *bleep* problem, so here goes: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K. “Nickname-for-Richard” 😁

Clearly I didn't think this through @Ann72 😂😂😂

[Ann72]

My daughter got #18 right off, @Nick - I couldn’t get it at all.  It’s a famous mystwry, is it not?

[Nick]

hehe she is spot on! 😉 @Ann72 

I'm actually curious to see if anyone will find #19. It is one of my favourite books but is meant to be the hardest on the list. Clue (since we were talking mysteries): It was first published in the 90s

My daughter is on a roll @Nick.  (She majored in Lit, too!)  We’re having breakfast in LA and she’s knocking them off.  #9 is Shakespeare.

[Nick]

double trouble! (yes it is!) @Ann72
