This seems a lot trickier than the last couple of years.  Anyone making good headway?

[JJ109]

I got 3 and gave up -the panda, the travel one and the vampire

[brainiac]

I've found it easier when you enlarge each selected area, but it's still going to take me most of the coming weekend!

[brainiac]

Halfway!

[brainiac]

Got there in the end.  From lack of responses on AB it seems not many are giving this a go this year.

[mjulian]

It's definitely harder this year than previously.   I've managed 15 but completely stuck on the remaining 5.

[Canary42]

I got frustrated by last year's so probably won't bother this year.

[brainiac]

Which ones are you stuck on?

[mjulian]

Brainiac - are you offering to try and help me - that would be wonderful.   I managed to do another 2 last night.   The ones I'm stuck on are:   The Ghost, Comedy Books and Box of Lights.   Thank you in advance for any help you might be able to give me.

[Toorak]

A clue/hint 

Can you see all the lights?

[mjulian]

No because they're inside the box!

[brainiac]

The ghost is Enter Ghost

The comedy books is Funny Story

The box of lights is All The Light We Cannot See

[mjulian]

Brainiac - thank you so much.   To be honest I haven't heard of any of those titles.   Now that's finished, I can get back to crosswords!   Many thanks again for your help - very much appreciated.

 

[brainiac]

You're welcome - I spent (too) many hours on this!

[Tuvok]

I got the Panda.  No point trying the others as I have no idea on book titles.

[CrazyDaisyB57]

The old soldier man

The country girls

[brainiac]

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

The Country Girls (!)

Yellowface

Strong Female Character

Neapolitan Quartet

A Good Girl's Guide To Murder

The Bee Sting

[jackthehat]

Gaarrgh.......

I spent far too long on the barbershop quartet.

I dismissed the correct title on the grounds that is wasn't actually a book title but a series. I should have just put it into the answerbox and seen what happens.

[TheWinner]

JTH, yes its a series.

[Equidna]

I got 14, but stuck on the others. Anyone knows what these are: table dripping with honey, table with books about mixology, travel section, bookshop map, music section, man reading book in red corner?
