First thought: 👏 a new video, second thought: do I have enough book budget to watch it 😄
😂
Miranda: I was cottagecore before cottagecore was cool!
😂😂😂 I love it!
Exactly- in fact I was cottagecore when it was decidedly uncool 😂
Hi ! Loved your notebooks and your book covers. Adorable ♡
Thank you so much, Martha!
Thanks Miranda for sharing - I wasn't aware of Laura Knight and her paintings look incredible. Thank you for introducing her - I always learn something new from your videos x
So happy to introduce you to Laura Knight! x
Hi, Miranda, I'm so glad to have discovered your channel! I've spent a pleasant week or two watching some of your older videos. I envy your shared reading interest with your mother, neither of my two daughters are much interested in reading for pleasure. And not only do your mother and I share the same first name and approximate age, we share the same taste in clothing! In one of your older videos Donna is wearing a shirt that I have been on the hunt for for months... a lovely one made from a William Morris Strawberry Thief print. Jealous, LOL! Best wishes and happy holidays!
That's so funny! Best wishes to you too!
Thank you for reminding me to pick up my copy of A Time to Keep Silence. Patrick Leigh Former is peerless. I love his teenage lone trek across Europe via the Hook of Holland. Such an incredibly gifted man, now several years gone.
I just finished reading The Story of the Country House by Clive Aslet. Thank you for the recommendation. I found it completely enjoyable. The cover art made me smile every time I picked up the book, and I appreciated Aslet's writing and the photographs. As an American, I learned so much. Thanks again!
Hello! I had to take a minute to stop drooling before leaving a comment. This was a great book haul. Watching book hauls are always fun, almost as fun as having a book haul of my own. Almost! 😊 You have such great taste, stunning covers. Loved the notebooks too . Okay, I'm done commenting, now I can get back to my drooling. See ya next time. 📚👍💕
Haha, thanks so much, Diane! They are such beautiful books; I’m thrilled with them all!
I’ve only just found your channel, and I am really enjoying your real love of reading. I hope you have a spare room, I need to go through your bookcases and find out more about you and your mums reading tastes. Thank you so much for sharing your enthusiasm. 😊💐
So glad you're enjoying my channel! Thank you! xxx
Wonderful book haul, so cosy and comforting! Thanks so much for sharing it with us! ❤️
So happy you enjoyed it!
So interesting to see all those books! Thanks so much for sharing them ☺️🌸
You're very welcome!
I' m the first one!I am Italian and I love very much your videos. My grandfather had British origins and I love England. Love from Italy to you and your kind mother .
Thank you so much 😊❤️
Hello Miranda. You've got great books in London. I miss book shopping so much! Have a nice week!
Cheers!
Thanks Julia! Hope you have a wonderful week too!
Some wonderful recommendations as always, Miranda. Knowing your exquisite taste, I wondered what fountain pen brand you use? I'm on the lookout for a really nice one to inspire my writing away from the computer screen.
P.S. Thank you for introducing me to Bettys. My mum loves Fortnum and Mason so I made her up a hamper of Bettys' goodies for her birthday and she adored everything! I also ordered the French fancies and fat rascals for lunch, which we all enjoyed. x
Thank you so much, and am very happy you and your Mum are enjoying Betty's treats too 😊 I have been a fan of Caran d'Ache fountain pens for a long time. More recently, I discovered and am really enjoying Kaweco Sport pens which are very reasonably priced, fun and have many different colour options and nib widths. Hope that helps!
@@MirandaMills thank you so much Miranda. I'll have a look at these.
So many wonderful books but oh my goodness the Fashion books! 🥰. I love this period for fashion, particularly the ‘30s. Thank you Miranda!
Such useful (and gorgeous) books, Lucy. Really happy to have these to share.
Awe, I used to love the atmosphere in Foyles and I think Dillons, and other central London bookshops in the late 80s as a teen when I discovered them... Nostalgia, nostalgia 💚🌿 so glad to have found your channel, best wishes to you and your lovely mum 📚
A wonderful selection Miranda.🤗🧡
Thanks so much!
What a treat, so many good ones!
Thank you!
Wonderful books and notebooks lovely video thank you so much Miranda💕
Thank you so much, Abigail!
Hi, Miranda! I just wanted to tell you that I find your videos so calming and relaxing and otherwise enjoyable. I suffer with severe anxiety and depression and, every time you post, you and your mom help me to slow down, take a breath and indulge in the enjoyable things in life. Wishing you both all of the best and thank you so much for your content!
You're very welcome. Very happy you find it calming and helpful!
Fabulous selection as always!. I read a couple of days ago in Nigel Slater's Christmas Chronicles how he went on a televised program to Norway to pick the Trafalgar Square tree. I am, now interested in reading The King and the Christmas Tree, to get a detailed background story to the tradition. I Will be looking, too into The Story of the Country House and Advent, your videos are not good to my TBR list:)
It's a very fun book, and I remember being interested after reading that part in The Christmas Chronicles too!
What a fantastic list! I'm hoping to get the two new Persephone Classic books for Christmas. I love those covers, and I haven't read that Dorothy Whipple yet. I love River Cottage. I took a two-day cooking class there when I was in England in 2015. We started off by cutting up whole fish. I remember feeling intensely relieved when we started in on yeast breads. Much more my comfort zone! 😅
Thank you, Elizabeth! Haha! Would be a lot more in my comfort zone too 😁
I always write down at least two titles after watching your videos, Miranda! Thank you for the excellent recommendations.
Thank you! That's very kind!
Hope you enjoy JG too, Rachel! You're very welcome!
Hi Miranda your trip to London was lovely to watch and this video was the perfect follow on to see and enjoy your wonderful book haul. I hope you are able to have an Autumn picnic that would be great fun. Happy reading, Teresa 🍂🧺🍂
Thanks so much Teresa! I'm still hoping to fit it in 😊
I like the part about “ If I finally find time to write a novel!” Pls. Do write one. ✍️
Love the book haul as always. 🤩
Thank you!!
Wow, what wonderful selections. Just ordered several to be used for Christmas gifts. Many thanks.
That's super, thank you!
A real variety of books. Look forward to checking some out especially the spooky ones.
Wonderful selection, Miranda. I still have that Ian Serrailier from my childhood in the 70s and have fond memories of it. You and Steve Donoghue are definitely the best for book recommendations. 🙂
Thanks so much!
What a lovely selection of books! Really enjoyed watching. Added many to my tbr.
That's great!
I had that copy of A Traveller in Time-it took me straight back to my childhood. The Haunting Season looks so good, I only recently discovered Laura Purcell and read Bone China which I loved and I have The Silent Companions by her to read. I downloaded Which Way? to my kindle too after seeing this.
The Alison Uttley does have a lovely Puffin cover, and it took me right back to my childhood too!
I always love your book hauls 💕thank you for sharing them with us.
My pleasure, Sandy! I'm so happy you enjoy them!
What an amazing book haul! There are so many I wish I could get!!! Perhaps I’ll allow a couple for Christmas! 😁 loved the notebooks too! 📔🧡
What a selection! I now have a couple more Christmas presents sorted, and several editions for my wish list. Thank you xx
That's great, Jo! So glad it was useful! x
What an amazing book haul. Yay for you!!
A Time to Keep Silence is a profound meditation on monastic life. I will now have to get your beautiful hardcover edition.
I absolutely love the notebooks you bought 💛& many others, like the year unfolding, stunning!
Thank you! I’m so thrilled with notebooks!
I love your book haul videos and it was really interesting and enjoyable to see the variety of non-fiction in this one. I enjoy history and will look out for Devil-Land and Hidden Hands. A Passion for China would make a great present for anyone interested in that. I love the notebooks but I find it really hard to bring myself to write in such beautiful books and need to get over this brick wall! Thank you for showcasing all these fascinating books.
Thank you very much! So glad you enjoyed it 📚💕💫
What a lovely inspiring collection of books/notebooks - might take me a while to assimilate it all - LOLZ! So many new things eg added Hill House on IG and didnt know of Laura Knight artist. Talking of your 30s/40s sourcebook reminded me of the novel im reading atm: 'Lillian Boxfish takes a walk' - set in Manhattan (which perhaps youve read already). I saw it in Daunt Books and the cover in black/gold /art deco ish style hooked me in! Fab book anyhow with Mad men series type themes. Thank you for your videos xx
So happy you enjoyed it. Yes, I have that one too, and you're so right about the eye-catching cover!
I just watched your old videos and now I have a new one to watch 🥰 such a treat!
Oh lovely! Thank you 😊
What a WONDERFUL book haul Miranda!! You make me want to buy every single one! LOL.
Thank you so much, Mamey!
What a cracking selection.
Thank you!
So many reading ideas again! Thank you for another great video. ❤️
Thank you so much- glad you enjoyed it 😊
They all look so interesting
What a wonderful book haul dear Miranda. Definitely some of those will be going on my Christmas list. Love your background .. I’am so grateful I found you. My love for books have flourished in the past year. 🍁
Thank you so much!
Wow, what a lot of wonderful books! Where do you find room for them all? I am struggling with that at present, feeling that if I buy any new books I have to say goodbye to some old ones, which I find hard!
A fantastic dreamy book haul.Each book caught my attention adding it to my wish list .As usual it was a delight watching your video an absolute highlight of my week📚
Thank you for the kind words!
I love your new notebooks....they are beautiful 😊
A fabulous selection of books, Miranda, as always! I’m tempted by most of them but especially the Molly Hatch and Angela Harding books, and the Miss Buncle new edition with its gorgeous cover. I’m very excited as I have a day trip planned for Friday to visit the Laura Knight exhibition in Milton Keynes, can’t wait!
Oh wonderful! It's looks like a fabulous exhibition, Lindsey! I'm sure it'll be a lovely day trip.
Such a great selection. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a fab book haul,, Miranda! I also picked up The Haunting Season (love Purcell and Gowar), and I'm excited to dive in. May have to pick up Damnable Tales, Story of a Country House and Hill House since you present them in such a tempting way haha.
Thanks so much! All those books are very tempting!!
Thanks for introducing me to the artwork of Angela Harding. I just received her 2022 calendar and I plan to pick up the book as well. What a great book haul! You picked up such a variety with lots of possibilities. I hope to pick up Hill House Living soon. That's just the sort of book I'm always looking for. ❤
Thanks so much! Angela Harding’s work is so beautiful; I got her calendar as well! 😊
Lovely haul Miranda 😍 I’ve already started cooking from Anja Dunk’s Advent; it’s such a nice book. So tempted by the River Cottage. Nigel has added a second season to his sublime Christmas Chronicles podcast (now called A Cook’s Chronicles) covering different sections of his new book and it is such a relaxing listen. Popped the Dorothy Whipple on my Christmas list, what a gorgeous edition 😍
Damnable Tales looks fantastic. That's going on my Christmas wish list for sure. Lovely video, as ever x
It does look so good! A great selection of tales 📚💫
Hola Miranda...te escribo desde Chile, gracias por tu inmenso aporte a la cultura y por supuesto gracias por tu amor por los libros 📖=♥️
Strangely enough, I just purchased Hill House Living. Can't wait to get into it this season.
Oh super! It’s a lovely book!
Hello, Miranda! What a treasure trove of books you’ve brought to our attention! I noted several on my tbr & am eager to get to them. I’m just curious to know if you are still working on that lovely bit of counted cross stitch needlework you shared with us some time back? I’m a stitcher from way back & find reading & needlework are most rewarding pursuits. I anticipate every new video with a smile! 📚👓🍁
Thanks so much! Yes, I am still working on it! I’m quite slow as rather busy…. Xxx
Completely understandable! I have some unfinished projects that are getting very impatient with me! 🤷♀️
I thought I was a rarity in loving book covers and end papers as much as a hardbook's content (well, almost!) and I am glad to see I am not the only one. I love watching your hauls and here are some great recommendations, as always. Thank you.
You found some incredible books in London - wow. Thanks so much for taking the time to go through all these choices!
Love that you review so many different types of books --- I enjoy cookbooks, nature and history books - so many to choose from.
Oh - you mentioned someone who had published a story in one of the story collections, and you mentioned she is
a Gothic writer. I couldn't find that author on Amazon --- was in Kapell or Capel? Thanks.
Thank you! The author i mentioned is Laura Purcell; I particularly recommend starting with The Silent Companions or The Corset xxx
@@MirandaMills Thanks so much for getting back to me.I will look for her! x
Your videos always bring warmth to my day! I am lusting after a choosing keeping notebook. Can I ask if you would say they are fountain pen friendly- I only write in fountain pens and often in flex nibs so I need hardy paper! Thank you :)
Thanks very much! I always write with fountain pens in mine and have no problems xxx
Just curious - how do you organize and categorize all your bookcases? I try to have bookcases for certain genres, or at least dedicated shelves, but this isn't always possible when space is fairly limited and books breed like rabbits! How do you manage your collections?
I organise mostly by genre.
Miranda, can you show more books on china!
Always looking out for lovely ones like the Molly Hatch one. Will share if I find more.
What a treat, so many good ones!
