    Every week I try to be strong and resist temptation when watching your channel. And every week I fail. 😂. I'm not sorry either. You make every book sound delicious and interesting, so I try to find at least one book to look for. Love your gift ideas too. I appreciate you more than I can express in words. 💐📚🤗💕

    Hugh Fraser reading Christie novels is like a warm hug. I just love them. So I do understand not having many physical copies. The Sittaford Mystery, although set in winter, is my current cosy read. I'm nowhere near sophisticated enough to read by season unfortunately! Lovely video, as always x

      I love the idea of reading with the seasons but I’m on the other side of the world so when there is a good suggestion I’m in the wrong season. Then I forget later on in the year because I have so many books! Now I’ve ordered 2 more of those Miss Marple beauties!!

    So nice to hear you talk about "The Uncommon Reader". I read it a few years ago and loved it. Such beautiful editions of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple series. In addition to "Emma", I'm currently reading "The Blue Castle" and very much enjoying it. Thank you for the recommendation! The notecards and brooch are charming. (The brooch reminds me of "Emma".) Have a great weekend and have fun trying out the recipes in the cocktail book!🍸🍹

    Miranda have you ever considered starting a patreon account for those of us who love your unique channel? I always feel so happy when I see you have uploaded a new video as there is no one else on RUclips with more beautifully curated featured books and other goodies. I would be the first to sign up for patreon and I am sure I am not the only. Thanks for the wonderful favorites - so many things from this video I would love to own (and may be a good thing I live in the US where shipping costs make buying things from the UK cost prohibitive- my bank account thanks the geography of it all haha!)

I’ve been given a copy of ‘Postal Bakes", and cannot wait to read and bake from it. The idea of posting the bakes got me really interested and curious about the content. I’ve seen adverts about companies renting bags and dinner outfits.
