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

RatinaMaze · 14/11/2019 12:33

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.

Enb76 · 14/11/2019 12:35

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!

afternoonspray · 14/11/2019 12:35

SDTG - you have the answer to the Auguries shop clue.

afternoonspray · 14/11/2019 12:37

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.

RatinaMaze · 14/11/2019 12:37

I'm stuck with:

Nell's Novelties
Angel's Butcher
Wedding car
Girls on a swing with cupcakes
DC
The eggs

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 14/11/2019 12:39

Thank you @afternoonspray and @Enb76 - I am such an idiot!!

CosmoK · 14/11/2019 12:39

Nell's Novelties - think dickens

clairethewitch70 · 14/11/2019 12:40
  1. Stuck on bee crossing, wedding car & angel butchers
inthekitchensink · 14/11/2019 12:41

DC- name of the city, colour of the sign, recent booker shortlist

inthekitchensink · 14/11/2019 12:42

Ignore the cake for the swing one

RatinaMaze · 14/11/2019 12:42

@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.

Myfanwyprice · 14/11/2019 12:42

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

inthekitchensink · 14/11/2019 12:42

Stuck on daisy & coco...

clairethewitch70 · 14/11/2019 12:42

ratina - the eggs was a movie

clairethewitch70 · 14/11/2019 12:43

inthekitchen - chanel?

CosmoK · 14/11/2019 12:43

Thanks inthekitchensink

inthekitchensink · 14/11/2019 12:44

clairethewitch70 - thank you. Facepalm!

WhenDoISleep · 14/11/2019 12:46

It's a wasp not a bee

RatinaMaze · 14/11/2019 12:47

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.

RatinaMaze · 14/11/2019 12:49

It's not a wasp. Insect nor acronym.
