National Book tokens 2021 - anyone started?

[Snoodleberry]

Just received the email and can’t believe another year has come around again so quickly. At first glance it is looking tough!

Need to settle down with a cup of tea and get started.

Anyone else attempting (and happy to share clues?! )

La casa = The house with glass bottles in the window = the glass house to me but it is wrong!

@Mediocrates

Stop sign clue: Think of opposites of the two words on the sign

There is a book called "Go now". It's not the answer!

I finally got it from the film clue.

@CaptainMyCaptain
I know Michelangelo painted "A basket of fruit" but I can't get any further, so I think that might be going up the wrong channel.

@QuiltedBear

Got them all except the stupid French couple on the stupid bicycle. Any other clues available? I would be eternally grateful!

West end play that was fairly recently quite a big film.

What is in the bottles? Thinking of it as a glass house is sending yourself down the wrong path.

I think you are over complicating it. It's not as specific as that, just a general genre of painting. I had to do one as part of my Art A level.

Got them! I've never done it before, but that was good fun.

Alcohol? Drink? Or is it a more specific answer?

Thanks for the help!

How strong are the drinks?

Thank you for the bike couple help! Finally got it 🤦‍♀️.

Baroque?

@MargaretThursday if you were painting fruit what type of painting would you typically say you’re doing

@AbandonedCharacter

Thanks for the help!

Wine, beer or.......

@MargaretThursday if you were drawing a person it would be a 'life' drawing. What would it be if you were drawing a bowl of fruit?

Thank you for the hints - 1 to go!

Sorry @CaptainMyCaptain - I'm being really stupid!

Just got it @CaptainMyCaptain. I can't believe I didn't get it! Thank you!

Just Paradise Boulevard to get now.

Just Paradise Boulevard to get now.
... and Natural History.

Thank you! I was making it far too complicated!

Think of the age of the person in front of Natural History.

Thank you!

I now just have Paradise Boulevard. Google translate says the English word for boulevard is ... boulevard. Not helpful.

I've just got thanks to help on Twitter. Basically just two synonyms.

Finished-take that you heavenly bastard!

There are a lot of synonyms for road / street / lane / etc. Gizza another clue! Pretty please.

@senua perhaps one beginning with A....
