    What a fabulous array of books to choose from! I’ve written several titles down &, what I don’t receive at Christmas, hopefully I can find at the library. Your delightful descriptions of books urge me to read them all! Such a lovely snowflake pin…seasonal jewelry is so much fun to pick & wear. Many thanks, Miranda, & happy holiday reading. ❄️🎄📚

    This was such a beautifully curated selection of books, Miranda. I recently sent the Miss Dior book to my sister for her birthday. (She is a big reader of non-fiction.) Of course, I have my eye on many of the books for myself, in particular the gorgeous edition of Little Women. I'm currently re-reading my little paperback and have fallen in love with it once again. Such a well written, wise novel about family and learning to be true to oneself.

    • @MirandaMills
      @MirandaMills  2 года назад

      Thank you, Nancy! Little Women is a real favourite of mine too; I’m so thrilled to have this gorgeous edition ❤️

    I must admit I'm eyeing most of these more as gifts for myself. The Feast and Seed to Dust already top my list of 2021 favorite reads. Your infectious joy and eloquence could convince me to fall in love with a textbook on physics or some other topic that eluded me in school. Thank you for spoiling us with so many glorious titles. 🎄🦌❤

    • @MirandaMills
      @MirandaMills  2 года назад +1

    I'm at home waiting to get a covid test tomorrow and this video has cheered me up no end. I must say Miranda, yourself and Donna gave been a godsend this year. I don't know how I would have kept the spirit up some days if it wasn't for your wonderful videos. ❤️❤️

    Such a lovely video, thank you! I'm actually re reading Little Women and my tatty copy leaves a lot to be desired compared to that beautiful edition. So many of these books look amazing... The Elizabeth Barrett Browning biography sounds especially good, and A Poet for Every Day of the Year is tempting me very much! The Comfort Book is a really great recommendation considering the state the world is in right now. I must must must get the The Adventures of Miss Barbara Pym, but I asked for The Feast this year after seeing you review it in one of your wrap ups, so looking forward to that. Love your brooch by the way :)

    • @MirandaMills

    Miranda!!! I love all of these books, I’m so excited once again to buy myself lots of books!!!! I’m a FOODIE🥰… I don’t know if I’ve ever told you that before and when you held up the Dorie Greenspan book, I paused the video and ran (well a fast walk) to get my Dorie Greenspan book titled “BAKING CHEZ MOI” recipes from her Paris home.. but side note now I only look through my non vegan cookbooks..Your Videos make me so happy 😊… tell Donna I said hello 💕

    Hi from another new subscriber. I live in Germany but grew up in Yorkshire. I stumbled across your channel on Friday and really love it - my list of notes and ‘books to buy” is already ridiculously long! I’ve heard you mention Tea and Tattle and interviews you’ve carried out with various authors in a number of your videos and wonder if they are still available to listen to and, if so, where I can find them. Thanks for this wonderful treasure trove!

  • @satintaupe8970
    @satintaupe8970 2 года назад +5

    Oh I have been eyeing up so many of these books over the last month, and your video is the extra nudge I need to take the plunge and get some of them at last. Thank you so much for putting together such a wonderful collection of them for this gift guide. I’ve also been admiring your festive jumper and brooch - can I ask where they are from? They’ve really put me in the festive spirit!

    • @MirandaMills
      @MirandaMills  2 года назад +1

      Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the gift guide. My sweater is an old one from Toast & the brooch is a vintage one I bought several years ago 📚❄️💫

    I've loved both this and the stocking stuffer videos. Such wonderful gift giving recommendations, and some I definitely will buy for myself. I was happy to see the Petersham Nurseries book and Stamps & Stamps on the list, as I have them both and they are just stunning. The Owl and the Nightingale is definitely going on my list, as well as several others, both fiction and non-fiction. I love how you thought of something for every taste and interest. Fabulous recommendations, Miranda, and thank you so much!

    Hello Miranda,
    I am listening to a very cosy Christmas Story and I think you might like it too. It‘s a german middlegrade Book (or maybe YA) about a Girl in a Castle in the Mountains. It Is friendly and cosy and has some crime in it too. It‘s by Kerstin Gier „Castle in the Clouds“.
    Have yourself a very nice first Advent- greetings from Germany! Ann
