I'm really sleep deprived - there's some that I'm sure I'm missing obvious ones for

Most of this year's seemed ok to me... apart from the woman with a suitcase, the door and the lion...

Right. I've had a good night's sleep and I've got coffee. Let's see if some of the clues make more sense.

I'm only up to 11. I'm missing:
The lion
The French love thing
The sun girl
The best sellers table
The Morris dancer and paramedic
Britain in the rubbish bin
Mythology
The wedding photo
The ice open thing

The lion
This is a groan worthy pun, but what is the English for "Belle"
The French love thing
The books in the romance section are not in black and white so they are...
The sun girl
I read this and loved it, her name is on the bag, but in the language of the book's author
The best sellers table
Huge bestseller this year, it's a bit punny but you might need to know who Krampus represents.
The Morris dancer and paramedic
Where is he from - specific country
Britain in the rubbish bin
A poem, but without cats
Mythology
Who are the books about and where are they from?
The wedding photo
Well it's not a landscape...
The ice open thing
huh, is it cold enough for ice to form?

OK this is what I'm still missing. The lionThis is a groan worthy pun, but what is the English for "Belle" Britain in the rubbish binA poem, but without cats The ice open thing huh, is it cold enough for ice to form? The Morris dancer I was totally focusing on the wrong things! |

Nothing to do with Karl Largefeld... it's a novel and it won the Man Booker Prize.
(This took me the longest to get and I'm still mad about it)
Britain in the rubbish bin
A poem, but without cats
Well it wasn't written by Andrew Lloyd Weber.
Think of a different word for rubbish, and it could have been any country in the bin.
The ice open thing
Huh, is it cold enough for ice to form?
So if it's not cold enough to be ice it must still be...

Ah, so I had this wrong, but after your hint I was thinking that was what I put. Googled and hadn't split the word. FFS. |

When all this is over, would someone please just tell me what the deal is with the sad Morris dancer having his arm bandaged by the young Black woman in the high-vis vest

Honestly it's super obvious once you know. A movie was made in the 90's of the book.
