I’m up to 9 and struggling! Now googling former booker prize lists as they usually feature!

SDTG, I went down that route too...

Up to 13 now. Google hasn't really helped but I had a couple of facepalm moments when I realised what I was looking at.

I now have 13 but still struggling.
Can't think what Angel's butchers shop might be. Or the car with the ribbons on.

I really wanted the Agnes's Augeries one to be The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (referred to by Terry Pratchett, in Good Omens), but it's not.

You've got it right though!

Stuck with the girls on the swings eating lemon and thyme cupcakes. Is that one you either know or you don't? I was wondering 26a but it's not that.

Nell's Novelties

Ignore the cake for the swing one

@CosmoK - Of course! Thank you! I was way too hung up on it being The Miniaturist and couldn't see past that. I expect I'm doing the same for some of the others - I really want the car to be The Newlyweds, for example.

The eggs one is two places in a really famous book, also a film with leonardo di’caprio.

Bloody hell. The eggs one is one of my all time favourite books. I should now retire from this in shame.

The bee crossing one needs to be said out loud. Think about what that sign is tell you.
