“The first thing I do when I have any good news, or bad news, or no news really, is to buy books” 😂 I love this.
It is a problem 😂 That can be solved with books…
You know what they say " If you like something, get it in every color or size" hahahaha
Exactly! It’s great logic
“It would be rude not to buy as many as I can take home.” 😂 Same.
I love getting to know you in these videos. Congrats on this promotion! Are you enjoying the position? I love the tours at the end--thanks for putting us in your pocket and taking us along. 📚
I love second hand books and book hauls. 📚🤩😍🥰😘👜
Congratulations on your promotion.
Thank you! I buy the majority of my books second hand so it’s just insane that this is my first proper second hand book haul 📚
Thank you Claire. As an older subscriber, I can remember reading Lorna Doone in my teens,it was a popular classic then. I very much enjoyed it I haven't read it since,so it would be interesting to read again. I can't believe that I only recently discovered Elizabeth Jane Howard. I've just finished the light years and fell in love with it. Will be on to book 2 soon. Catherine Cookson was also a staple of my younger years.📚👜❤
Lorna Doone was my favorite movie as a kid. Never read the book but maybe I should check it out. 👍🏻
Congratulations on the promotion!
I agree with all the people who have said you’ll love Barchester Towers! (And I felt the same way as you about the Warden.) Dissolution is so interesting and gritty. I loved it.
Those bags are beautiful.
Thank you Gina! So good to hear you enjoyed Barchester Towers - it’s moving up my TBR pile as I type. Just re-reading Bring up the Bodies so very much in a Cromwell mood at the moment so I think I’ll read Dissolution next!
I read Lorna Doone when I was about 14. I've been thinking of rereading it for a while. Maybe now is the time.
Congratulations on your promotion! 🎉 Barchester Towers was my sleeper hit of Q1 of 2023. Cannot wait to hear your thoughts!
Thank you! This is brilliant news - sleeper hits are always the best
I use read Catherine Cookson all the time got them from the library . Live in Australia .I have the tv series of them.❤
I finally subscribed after lurking for months. I enjoy your bookshop tours and book chats. And cats!
Thank you so much! It really means a lot 🥰
Fabulous books…love Lorna Doone.
Lorna Doon was a beautiful surprise to me. I actually read it last year after years of just looking at it on my shelves. I have the black wordsworth edition. It was a treat. ❤ 📚
This makes me really excited to finish reading it! I put it down to re-read Jane Austen but I must go back to it 📚
I think you’ll like Trollope, too. Enjoy Barchester Towers!
Congratulations on your promotion, Claire! Thank you for the book recs as well. You have a lot of lovely reading to do this spring. 📚👜🌷
Thank you Angela! I’ve had a few brilliant reading months so I hope you have too 📚
I can’t wait to visit that bookshop in Mordon! A pound a book? Yes, please! Lorna Doone is on my TBR as well, I can’t wait for your review. I see no one talking about it.
Love watching your videos ❤ 👜
It’s an absolute dream so I hope you visit it!
The bags are so cute! Just ordered the large red one
Everybody loves Lady Diana !!!
Except Charles 😅😅
Congrats 🥳 on your promotion!! Happy Spring 💐📖
You are such a fashion icon for me that you just made me order two barrel bags in different colours from Zatchels! The customer service was wonderful as you said🥰 Thank you for your video!
I love that!! Definitely share a picture so I can see 💼 I may have bought a few more since this video…
I love a book haul! Thanks for sharing. 📚
I loved Catherine Cookson books. My Mum read them in the 80s and teenage me would pinch them 😊 I recently ordered myself a few from eBay in a fit of nostalgia.
Lovely video. Thank you.
Congratulations! 👜 xx
I think you will love Barchester Towers.
I will be interested in seeing your reaction to Death Comes to Pemberly
Congratulations on the promotion.
Enjoyed the vlog. Congratulations on your promotion. 📚👜💕
Congratulations on your promotion, Claire!🥂💐 I’m so excited to check out the books you have recently purchased; each one looks so interesting, and the new bags you purchased are beautiful. I went to the website and they have a great selection of different styles and colors. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday, and, along with the sunshine this morning, thank you for starting mine out so perfectly.👜📚📖❤️
You are totally amazing X
I loved A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. It was very immersive.
I just ordered Dissolution.👜
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
You weren't even born when Charles married Diana..... *sigh* I was in primary school and I can remember vividly the radio station playing "Charlies getting married at last" over and over (it was a real song) and singing it to myself as I walked to school. I can remember staying up all night to watch the wedding and thinking Diana was a beautiful fairy princess. I'm so excited that you get to relive the moment so to speak, but it was a living piece of history for me. I think the book was well worth the pound!
And talking of all things wedding related..... is that an upgraded engagement ring I spy on the tiny little hand of yours?
I was a toddler when she died 😅 Re. My ring: Yes, Ben surprised me with a ring (the type/style we originally planned on getting - long story 😅) for our anniversary but I just wear it on special occasions ❤️
Congratulations, Claire 👜📚📖🐱
Your purses look sturdy but very stylish also. 👜 The red ones are my favorite. 😀
So sturdy! I’m obsessed.
Congratulations on your promotion! 😊📚
Thank you Marta!
You’ve really taken me back to seeing all the Catherine Cookson’s on my Grandma’s shelves! And yes I am Northern ☺️💼
The best people are!!
Congratulations on the promotion! I really enjoyed Lorna Doone! It’s beautifully written!
I still don’t get along with Trollope. I’ve tried.
Big congrats on the promotion Claire! What lovely bags, I bought a new bag myself recently and honestly its worth spending the extra money on something you really love that will last. You will love Dissolution. And Catherine Cookson - I’ve had 2 of my books on my shelves for the longest time, I was probably too young for them when I was originally gifted them; you’ve inspired me to give them a try sometime 😊
Thank you so much Lisa! Catherine Cookson is such a guilty pleasure for me so I hope you enjoy ❤️
Hi Claire! I hope all is well with you. I really enjoyed your video. Last year I was in the UK in Great Malvern for a friend's wedding in the Priory. While there, I discovered an excellent book shop called The Malvern Bookshop. Have you ever been there? One of the many books I purchased there and brought back to Minnesota was Lorna Doone in hardback for 3 pounds. I have not yet had a chance to read it due to other books I am reading, which currently is The Black Arrow by Robert Louis Stevenson that I also purchased in The Malvern Bookshop, but I do plan to read it. Have a great day! 📚
Thank you for watching David! I have - I’m from the midlands so I have so many childhood memories of the Malvern Hills. Such a beautiful part of the country!
Hello, have a lovely day!❤

Great book haul! I also love the look of the bags, it’s a shame they are made of real leather 😢
As a meat eater, it would be hypocritical for me not to use all the by products ❤️ The good thing is they will last forever unlike some alternative materials so little waste
