7 is Tess of the d'Urbervilles, I think and 5 might be The Woman in White? No idea with the rest :)
ReplyDeleteNicely done! What about #1, I thought that might be one people could get?
ReplyDeleteI already saw the answers, but true, the first was easy! Shame on me.
ReplyDeleteAh, they're always easy when you've seen the answers. I'm going to put up some easier puzzles soon anyway - think these were a bit tricky ;)
ReplyDeleteI was actually thinking about Prometheus while looking at the first picture, I don't know why, but I was quite close when you think about the subtitle of the book :)
ReplyDeleteA-ha, very close indeed! I wonder what the painting is that's used as the cover art.
ReplyDeleteI always welcome comments...
