    Miranda. The sense I’m getting is that your story would be a beautiful novel. The more we know about you the more we love you. What an interesting life! I’m so grateful to God that he preserved your dear mother, who is sunshine itself! I think I’m her age, and I would love to hang out with her! God bless you both richly!❤🎉❤

    Yikes, me again! I just want to say that I think the potential with your channel is huge. You both are such a unique entity. I think, pressing in to just what you’re doing, with your mom, the books, life in Yorkshire, the cooking, the chats, really could blow up and be super special! Just wanted to encourage you!❤❤❤

    I'm catching up on your past vlogs, and this one was one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing so much about your childhood. The relationship you and Donna share is so touching. Thank you for following your passion, Miranda, and creating this space on the Internet. It's a haven!

    Miranda's RUclips channel was an outstanding discovery to me last year. And I learned a lot from it already. I appreciate a lot Miranda's English pronunciation really, as it helps non English followers to clearly understand what she is saying...What I find here is respect, love for books and reading, kindness, love of nature, the beautiful English countryside (and Yorkshire), style, and many other interesting things and topics. I think this channel deserves much more subscribers indeed. I'm always inspired by Miranda's relationship to her mother, Mrs. Donna, whom I hugely respect. Being an oncologist (cancer doctor) myself, I can imagine what she went through during her illness, but happily she's well now and this is what's most important.
    Take care and big hello from Lebanon!

    Thank you for sharing your life stories with us. Because of your mother's medical conditions you grew up knowing how temporal and precious life is. She does seem like such a wonderful person filled with light and love. You have forged a wonderful relationship with her. I lost my mother a few years ago and miss her everyday. I enjoyed her friends as much or maybe even more than friends closer to my age. I loved their frankness and how they spoke bold truths, and they were there for each other till the end. Through sickness and even through the death of their spouses and through life's trials. I have just discovered your channel and enjoy it immensely! Hugs and best wishes to you and your mum.

    You brought tears to my eyes when you were talking about your lovely Mum. I am very lucky that my daughter and I are extremely close and get on brilliantly also. Daisy is in her first year at University in Oxford so we have missed each other terribly but we facetime every day. All of Daisy's friends are shocked at how well we get along and how much we love spending time together. x

    Hello Miranda🥰....I just adore You and Donna...two women I’ve never met in a part of the world I will most likely never see, has enriched my reading and literally put a real life view to the words “comfort and cozy”..Listening to you talk about Donna made me emotional ( the room got even brighter to me )Thank You so much 🥰📚

    One of my favorite Middle Grade reads in the 1970s was called "The Secret in Miranda's Closet" about a girl who secretly loves playing with dolls, but can't tell her mum because her mum is a strong, independent business woman who doesn't agree with "stereotype labels" for boys and girls toys. I still own it! Miranda, you and your mum are absolutely lovely 💕

    Miranda, you spoke so honestly and eloquently about your life, your Mum, and her illness. I'm sure I wasn't the only one blinking away tears. You are both such wonderful women with incredibly inspiring stories to tell and it's a real joy to get a glimpse into your life and loves. I wouldn't have expected anything else than your name have been chosen from favourite literature. I named my daughter, Nancy, after my heroine (and emotional crutch) Nancy Drew. Beautiful dress, by the way xx

    Dear Miranda,
    I did not think it was possible to love you more as I already did. But this video was so touching and both you and your mom are such kind souls. I thank you so much for telling us more about your private life. I sometimes feel that people ask too many questions, but you answered them so gracefully. By the way you look stunning in that beautiful dress. I think your international background is really interesting. I lived in Portland, OR for several years and my older daughter also did IB. She actually really wanted to study in England which unfortunstely was no longer possible for Germans after Brexit. We have been back to Germany for several years now, but I think that living abroad always broadens your horizon in a good way. You learn to be thankful for a lot of things that others seem to take for granted. I love to see that your channel is growing rapidly at the moment and I wish you all the best with that. You do a wonderful job, your videos are exquisit!!! I always appreciate a lot that you take time to like or answer to everybody's commrnents. This is very special. Have a lovely Friday and weekend!

    You just blew my mind when you mentioned you were born in Regina, I was born and have lived in/around Saskatoon my whole life and so many people have no idea where Saskatchewan is, and with your accent it's hard to believe you've lived anywhere but the UK. This was a fun surprise to my day! Annnd now I want to make soup, it's still -18 here so I need to get my hands on these ingredients and make this asap!

I am so happy to have found you and your channel ( your mum has totally stolen my heart ) and I hope you keep on truly to your self and to unique way for a long time. ❤️

    Hello Miranda, I just wanted to say I'm looking over some of your older videos and this one is so honest and insightful. I teared up too when you were talking about your mum! You sound like you've had a very interesting and fulfilling life so far! I so very much enjoy all of your videos, they are a beautiful escape from the mundane, so comforting and cozy. You are two very charming and lovely ladies living my dream in Yorkshire so thank you so much for your content and for sharing your lives with us.

    Hello Miranda, I have just discovered The Comfort Book Club and met you and your lovely Mom Donna. What a tonic for me! I suffer with anxiety and depression and your lovely videos and blogs have uplifted me SO MUCH so thank you from the bottom of my heart! You and your Mom are going to hold a special place in my week and I have got February's read 'The Nonesuch' to start reading and I can't wait to hear the discussion. You are very special people, it shows in your lovely smiles, words and everything you share. You are providing an absolutely wonderful stress free environment to escape to. God Bless You both xx

You both seem so lovely, I am sure Donna must feel just as lucky to have you as you do to have her! As both a daughter and a mother myself I found this so touching. Love all your interesting recommendations as always, and the soup sounds delicious! I am looks forward to the new Laura Wood, combining detection and romance sounds perfect for me. Thank you so much Miranda for all your hard work and thought creating these beautiful vlogs, they are such a joy and inspiration.

Your relationship with your mum is beautiful (I’m very close to my mum, too) and you are both so lovely. I am disabled and spend much of my time in bed every day. I share so many loves with you and it is such a joy to spend time in your (and your mum’s) company. Thank you so much for your very special videos, they bring me so much pleasure.

    Hello Miranda, thank you for sharing with us. We have similar life I think. I am Canadian but live in Yorkshire for 3 years, as a kid I did ballet classique for approximately 22 years. I have lived all over Europe and we have scientists in the family What is not similar is the education ! I am astonished about all the bagage of knowledge you have. You bring soft and peaceful moments to my busy week and I’ve change couple of things in the family dynamic. On Sunday afternoon we sit all together in the living room, we read and talk about the our readings. Continue your good work !

    Miranda,
    Thank you for sharing such personal aspects of your life. You have brought much magic to this corner of the internet. I was so moved to hear you speak so eloquently and beautifully about your mum whom is beloved by us all. What a great blessing. To witness your relationship and enjoying each other’s companionship is every mother’s dream! I hope my son will enjoy my presence as much. This was another wonderful video with more intriguing recommendations. I can’t wait to read Laura Wood’s new book this month too! I’m very excited for this month’s CBC pick. Reading Georgette Heyer is like consuming the most effervescent glass of Champagne.
    Much gratitude to you and Donna always.

    Thank you Miranda for sharing more details of your life with us and also for your moms soup recipe. My husband and I love soups and look forward to making and tasting yours. ( although I might leave a few ‘bits’ to crunch on) lol…Your life story has endeared me even more to you and as there isn’t anything quite like you and your mom on YT, and I’ve researched other book clubs on line, I think your channel deserves the support that highlights all that you’ve envisioned for it. You’ve put the ‘spotlight’ on Mother’s and Daughter’s, books and reading, and so much more….and of course ‘Yorkshire’ and the beautiful surrounding areas of where you live. Your channel is one of the highlights of my week and weekend. 😊💓

    Thank you for sharing a bit of your background. What an international upbringing ! Your mention of Enid Blyton reminded of how many, many years ago, a girl at my school lent me
    her Secret Seven books. I would read one, bring it back to school & she would bring another one. At secondary school there was a girl who brought me books to read
    for the school holidays. That was when I read my first Georgette Heyer. I think that her family must have had an amazing home library.

    What happy memories this video brought for me. Many years ago I was living in Israel when I wandered into a used bookstore on a small, out-of-the-way street where, and, purely by chance, I purchased the Penguin edition of "Reunion." I liked it so much I gave a copy to my mother (who who died just weeks ago). It was one of her all-time favorite books. I am eager to hear what you think of it.

    Another lovely vlog! Thank you Miranda. Your FAQ answers were so interesting and the words you said about your mum made me teary-eyed! Those of us who are very close to our mothers are so fortunate. I've been in the mood for some Georgette Heyer lately so I'll be adding The Nonesuch to my TBR this month. Looking forward to the Comfort Book Club discussion.

    Your life is fascinating - thank you for sharing. I was read to a lot when I was a child and that is why I am an avid reader (164 books last year.) I remember my grandmother telling me that "If you can read, you can find out anything that you want to know." My question is Are you still drinking that garlic and lemon tonic?????

    First off, I noticed your beautiful new Emma Bridgewater mug! Your FAQ was so interesting and heartfelt. I didn't realize how much your mum has been through. Your beautiful relationship comes through in your videos. ❤ I love soup, so I'm going to give your tempting recipe a try. You always tempt me with your book plans. I'm particularly interested in your "themed" sets. Wishing you a lovely remainder of the week.

    I identified with so many things in this video ... the love for childrens fiction (especially cosy family focused stories) when I am looking for some comfort reading ... the love of homemade "smooth" hearty winter soups ... the wonderful mother/daughter friendship you share with Donna (my mother has also been living with me for the last 3 years due to immobility problems following major leg surgery and I so enjoy our daily catch-up chats and meal times when I come home from work). Thank you for another enjoyable and relaxing video Miranda. ❤

    What a treat to have two videos a week from you Miranda. I loved hearing about Donna’s reading, I’m reading “Silver Sword” to my grandson at the moment, he’s loving it, though we have to stop and discuss the history quite a bit, he’s not quite 11! Thanks to you I’m about to start a re read of Georgette Heyer, I can still remember where I was when I read her obituary in the Daily Telegraph, I was devastated as she was probably my first “adult” author outside the set books at school.

I have to say that Georgette Heyer is challenging me with so many Victorian slang terms. I have been needing to Google quite a bit, lol!

    I had loads of picture books before I started to read 😅😁 my favourite stories as a child all had animals in it, or were about animals but I also loved stories with friendly ghosts and witches. I think the Paddington Bear books were some of my favourites in 1st and 2nd grade... I also read adventure books like Jules Verne and others from my grandfather. Then I started to read ballet books and horse riding adventures in 4th grade

    I enjoyed learning more about you. Enid Blyton was definitely my favourite as a kid. But I also adored the All Of A Kind family books, I think as an Australian of English descent I didn’t really understand much about Judaism but I loved the family and rituals. And I have often wondered if you were named after Miranda in The Tempest.

    This has to be the most interesting Q&A I've seen on RUclips. Your whole family seems to have a story worth hearing and telling. Katherine Porter, wasn't she the one who wrote The Little Locksmith? If so, I loved that book.

    • @MirandaMills
      @MirandaMills  Год назад

      Thanks so much, Alexandra! I don't think Katherine Anne Porter wrote that book - maybe an author with the same name?

    Dear Miranda My second comment today I was rewatching the first part of the video Personally I appreciate for answering to somewhat personal questions I was always felt embarrassed when someone is asked about personal matters On the other hand I somehow understand it We meet you and your mother once a week in your lovely house We make trips together We talk about books You cook for us So yes Although I couldn't question anyone I quite understand it Bless you Donna Bless you Miranda xxx

    Well ….. I have been getting back into reading. I love audible, but have been buying more actual books. I started finding book lovers on RUclips and I am enjoying them so much. This is the first video of yours that I have watched. It gave me such a warm feeling inside. I lived in the UK in Suffolk county for 4 years many years ago. I am American and my husband was stationed there at the Air Force Bentwater/ Woodbridge bases. I lived in a village called Martlesham Heath outside of Ipswich. My neighbor took us Americans under her wing and we became good friends. Over the past 30 years we visited each other and did traveling together. My friend Christine passed away this past June and I was devastated. Listening to you made me smile with tears in my eyes, but good memory tears. You are lovely and I look forward to subscribing and following your Chanel. You know what it is like to move around a bit. Haha! Thanks for sharing your lovely voice and attitude here. I will be going back and binge watching past videos. 👍🏼❤️

    What a truly heartfelt video, I couldn’t help but tear up too as you talked about you and your wonderful mom. It is so special of you to have shared that with us💕I so enjoyed Donna’s portion also. Especially her fiction inspired jewelry! The poetry collections are such beautiful editions. I’m not familiar with Katherine Mansfield but would also love reading the bio and short story collection together.
    Thank you, Miranda and Donna for allowing us to share your day 🌷❤️🌷I thank the you tube algorithms that brought your channel to my attention a few years ago, it was truly a blessing to my life.

And your reflection on your wonderful relationship with your mum, Donna, was incredibly touching. Thank you. And I love all the books in your February TBR, I will certainly try to find the Mansfield ones. Plus, I shall attempt to make the soup too. Looks delicious! Your channel is simply the best. Have a great weekend ahead, 💟 Jason
