The Unreal and the Real - Ursula K Le Guin
This is also availble in a less-unwieldy two-volume edition, but this huge edition matches my copy of The Found And The Lost. Either edition would be a lot of Ursula K Le Guin stories!
An Informal History of the Hugos
I think this one's out of print, unfortunately, but I live in hope.
An Informal History of the Hugos - Jo Walton
Same book as above! Secondhand copies of this book are distressingly expensive, but there's always the chance a more reasonable one miight show up?
Trace Elements - Jo Walton and Ada Palmer
Two of my favourite authors talking about books! (Many of the books on this list are here because Jo Walton wrote about them in another book, so getting me this won't make the list any shorter in the long term...)
Caroline Akrill: Courses for Horses
She wrote a fourth one! It can't possibly be any good, but then neither can the first three and I always loved them.
The Last Unicorn - Peter S Beagle
I do already have The Last Unicorn, but this is a new edition (and matches my copy of The Way Home!)
Gideon the Ninth - Tamsyn Muir
It has to be hardback, to match my copies of Harrow and Nona. But I can't buy the hardback I already bought the ebook when I didn't know how much I was going to love the series!
Nurk - Ursula Vernon
Not sure this one's in print in the UK currently, but might be worth seeing if it reappears.
A Stroke of the Pen - Terry Pratchett
I borrowed this from the library when it first came out, because the short stories never mean as much to me as Discworld does, but I would still quite like my own copy.
Discworld Ookmarks | Set Two | - Discworld Emporium
This set has Vetinari AND Vimes bookmarks - that's excellent value!
Discworld Beermats | Inns & Taverns | - Discworld Emporium
Arguably I have enough coasters already - but these ones are Discworld coasters!
The Iliad (Emily Wilson)
I really enjoyed her Odyssey, whereas the Iliad translation I've read honestly dragged a bit and I'd like to see if this one's easier.
The Prose Edda
This is the Prose Edda, aka Younger Edda, NOT the Poetic or Elder Edda! I've already got the Poetic Edda.
The Bee and The Sun - Catherine Hyde
From the (uk-based) artist's website
Darkling, the owl’s song: - Catherine Hyde
She has a new book! (Same uk-based artist's website.)
The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke - Richard Dadd - Tate shop
60x45cm size. I've never found anything else that deserves to go next to Leshies on my living room wall.
Ancient of the Forest print by Anne Sudworth
Size Large. From the artist's website.
Barn Owl in Snow Fine Art Giclee Print by ArtfulHare - Etsy US
30x30 cm. From the artist's Etsy shop.
White Hare Print by ArtfulHare - Etsy UK
20x20cm From the artist's Etsy shop.
Samhain print by Amanda Clark - Etsy UK
Another artist, another Etsy shop. This one comes in more shiny and less shiny - I'd like more shiny please!
Dream Library Print by ShelfWornDrawn - Etsy UK
A4 size. I like the yellow background best. (Another Etsy shop!)
Pangolin Bookmark with tassel by thetinytoucan - Etsy UK
From a different uk-based Etsy shop. Any colour of tassel.
Woodlands - Ulla Thynell
from the (finland-based) artist's website (shop is currently closed, but should reopen at some point)
Tiny Black Fox - Ulla Thynell
also from the (finland-based) artist's website (shop is currently closed, but should reopen at some point)
Dreaming: Card Set - Ulla Thynell
same artist, same website, same currently-temporarily-closed
Harvest Moon Art Print by Ulla Thynell
Size x-small Same artist as above, but a third-party website so not closed! Ships from the US though :(
Snow Weasel Art Print by Ulla Thynell
Size x-small. (same artist and US-based third-party website as above)
Quiet Memorial Art Print by Ulla Thynell
Size x-small. No I couldn't fit them ALL on my walls but I can't decide which I like best!
Forest Throw Pillow by Ulla Thynell
Same artist and third-party website, but it's a cushion so it wouldn't have to fit on the wall! Unfortunately it ships as an entire cushion. From the US. Dammit!
The Fantod Pack Tarot Cards
I'm fond of fortune-telling cards, even though I have no actual use for them. And Edward Gorey's art is delightful. This comes from The Gorey Store which is, unfortunately, in the US.
Wicked Girls Poster by Seanan McGuire
This one unfortunately is from the US again

Hotel Chocolat pistachio pralines
I'm also a big fan of other praline, caramel, and coffee chocolates (as long as it's milk/white/caramel chocolate - I like my sugar-to-cocoa ratio high!).

Salty Blond Bar
This is right up there with Hotel Chocolat's pistachio pralines, but can't be found in York.

Smoky Blond
I never thought of sesame seeds as something that goes in chocolate but it turns out they do!
