I have been to the titanic museum twice in pigeon forge. Both times my person survived. I live 15 miles from the McKay’s in Chattanooga. There is a McKay’s in Knoxville not too far from pigeon forge. Too bad you didn’t stop in there. I am so glad you loved your visit to Tennessee. I have my grandmothers copy of little women. She was born in 1900 and it was hers when she was a little girl.
That edition of Villette is gorgeous! YES Font matters. I will literally put library books back on the shelf if I pick one up and don't like the font 😂😂
A roadtrip to Tennessee- yes! I love the owl bookmark- so cute. ❤🦉I'm going to order some of those transparent sticky notes. I've been trying to figure out a better way to annotate and that might be just what I need. Yep, McKay's- it's amazing.
So many wonderful & beautiful books! I loved the Kristin Lavransdatter saga and I have that same gorgeous edition. I also think Oxford Classics are the best; I am slowly replacing my classics with Oxfords whenever I can. Also loved the puzzle & the bookmarks & the shots inside bookstores & that new lovely teacup matches your new green shirt!
So many fun books!!😍 I love the Smokies and Pigeon Forge! That’s where my husband and I went for a honey moon- A quiet little cabin in the mountains. We also visited the Titanic museum and wow. 💔😭 so emotional but an incredible experience!
That’s actually so romantic!! 🥰 The titanic museum exceeded my expectations!! My sister and I were trying to decide between that and something else and I’m sooo glad we chose it!!
Wonderful trip recap and book haul, Miriam! Thanks for sharing your visit to Tennessee! My brother and nephew actually just moved there and we may visit at some point, so I am taking notes! I just got The Frozen River- will probably read it November/December. Beautiful books!
The Parthenon is fun to see! Gorgeous puzzle - I love that! The historic timeline in A Million Little Choices is not very substantial, it's not a full fleshed out story. But it's still a good book! Beautiful edition of Villette! I want to read some Elizabeth Goudge books also. So glad you had a fantastic trip and a great haul!
what a wonderful book haul! glad you had a great road trip with your sister. I always enjoy visiting TN - I have family in Franklin ( just outside of Nashville ). You will need to make another trip and visit all the historics sites here, being a book lover! - Carnton Plantation and the Belle Meade area are so nice.
What a great video and books! So glad you had a nice time in TN. 🤠 The puzzle is so pretty. I know they also have a state bird puzzle. I loved Kristian Lavransdatter, Homecoming! It is a book I hope you like and will review. Kate DiCamillo is a favorite and I own The Beatryce Prophecy❤️ Goudge is great!
the owl bookmark is so cute! I'm glad ya'll had a fun trip! For some reason I thought ya'll were visiting family lol. I love the Smokies. Been so many times! my grandparents used to take us every year.
You picked up some prime souvenirs, Miriam! So glad you and your sister had a happy trip! Eastern Tennessee/Western North Carolina is gorgeous country. 😍
Hello from Tennessee! I'm so glad you enjoyed your visit and that you visited Plenty in Cookeville. I see you stopped at Buc-ee's too! Haha. It's fun isn't it? I enjoyed your book haul and have added a few to my wish list. I am interested in reading Trollope.
Haha! I don’t know anyone who hasn’t loved when the day comes! I was also nervous because I wasn’t sure if I would be mad about the time period she chose to stay in! But I totally wasn’t!
Hi Miriam, I loved the video. Your trip sounds wonderful and I love the Smoky Mountains! So lovely. We had a big camper when we went stayed at a real nice campground in Gatlinburg. We hiked a little bit along along beautiful creeks with little waterfalls and one souvenir was a beautiful pottery mug marked Rolling Rocks on the bottom. We were with my sister and hubby so extra fun. They had their own camper. I loved the book, The Scent of Water. I have most of Elizabeth Goudge’s books and another great one was The Dean’s Watch. Although I like them all! What kind of copy was your edition of Vilette? I would love that one too. I enjoyed Shirley somewhat but didn’t love it. Quite a big slog. I hope I like Vilette more. I am collecting and reading all the Tommy and Tuppance books in order, and just finished The Secret Adversary, by Agatha Christie. And I’m also collecting all those pretty editions of the Miss Marple books. Unfortunately I have an ugly copy of the first one, the Murder at the Vicarage, which I really liked. Oh well we’ll see if I replace it. 😊 sounds like you had a wonderful trip. ❤❤😊😊
I’m quite enjoying Shirley although the plot is very slow! I think Villette is the better book! And in general I actually prefer these two over Jane Eyre 🤭🤭 but maybe I need to reread Jane Eyre - I think I’ll like it more upon a reread. It truly was a wonderful trip, I’m so thankful!
I go to Kingsport/Johnson City every fall! I love that you got to go to "my happy place." My next Bookstrings NOVEL takes place in Greeneville! :D I have friends in Cookeville! I LOVE transparent sticky notes! We really like the Acme Feed Store restaurant in Nashville! That PUZZLE! I want to do that one! I LOVE They Came to Baghdad! Lorna Doone! YAY! So good! My daughter is named after Lorna Doone! Also... the adaptation is a really good one for how much they have to pack into that. I loved Once Upon a Wardrobe , but I didn't care for Becoming Mrs. Lewis. LOVE The Scent of Water. I love how she handled a difficult situation. Just a beautiful story.
Thanks Becky❤️❤️❤️ it was rough!! My sister and I left for Tennessee 12 days after the removal and I was so scared I wouldn’t be able to eat properly, but thankfully I was a ton better by the trip!
Such a great haul!! The Way we Live Now by Trollope was the group read last year for Victober. I didn't get to it. Lol. If i don't like their choice this year, i might read that one then.
@@miriamelizabethreads So far I’ve only read that one and The Bird in the Tree. I didn’t like that one as much. You were within an hour of me, on your trip. Aren’t NC and TN beautiful? We’re newer to the area. Moved to be near family.
@@gerridauer9092 oh no way! Yesss they are gorgeous states! I visited family in North and South Carolina two years ago, loved my time there! I hope to visit every state! I’ve been to / driven through I think 10 at this point 😅
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰SO GLAD WE GOT TO MEET LOVE YOU! Highlight of the year!!!
LOVE YOUUUU! ❤️❤️❤️

My person survived too thought my sister’s wasn’t so lucky, what an emotional museum! Wow!! That’s incredible to have such a precious book!
I collect postcards wherever I travel too!
I saw on IG you got to meet Amanda but you got to meet Stacy too?! That's awesome!!!
Yes!! So grateful ❤️❤️❤️
Titanic museum!❤❤❤❤loved that
I love the transparent sticky notes! I use them in my Bible when I deep dive and study book by book
Ooh yes! The Frozen River is fantastic and my favorite book of the year so far. Enjoy!
I can’t wait to read it!
I have that flower puzzle and love it! The Frozen River is excellent, I think you'll love it.
I hope so!
I love the Moon Pie General Store! And I live near a McKay's, which is one of my favorite places to be.
I love those classics editions!
That’s awesome! It would be sooo dangerous if I lived near a mckays 😂😂
@@miriamelizabethreads I typically have to practice restraint when I go! And also I try not to spend too much over my trade in credit. 😂😂😂
That puzzle is beautiful! The hobby lobs comes in clutch!
I so enjoyed this video!! And I’m right there with you on loving floppy books! I added some new titles to my TBR after watching this. Thank you!🎉
Thanks so much for watching!
That edition of Villette is gorgeous! YES Font matters. I will literally put library books back on the shelf if I pick one up and don't like the font 😂😂
Same!! 😂

❤️❤️❤️
The trip looks amazing! Also, McKay's is a bucket list bookstore for me, their prices seem insanely cheap for a lot of the books.
They are so cheap! The movies too I was literally open mouthed walking throughout the store 😂
And yes, floppy books are where it's at, it makes the whole reading experience better. Every publisher should make their books floppy.
💯
I live in eastern North Carolina, but absolutely love the Great Smokies of North Carolina and Tennessee. So glad you had such a great time! ❤
❤️❤️❤️
WHEN THE DAY COMES❤❤
I hope I love it!!!
What a fun trip! The Smokies are beautiful. I was married in a small chapel in those mountains.
That sounds magical!! 🥰
Cades Cove is a beautiful place to go. Also absolutely love Dollywood.
We didn’t get a chance to go to either though we really wanted to! Next time!!
I love your overview of your trip 😭😭❤️❤️ living through you
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
😊❤so awesome!!!! What a fun trip and awesome haul!! So happy you got to meet Stacey and Amanda!!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love getting postcards too!
So many wonderful & beautiful books! I loved the Kristin Lavransdatter saga and I have that same gorgeous edition. I also think Oxford Classics are the best; I am slowly replacing my classics with Oxfords whenever I can. Also loved the puzzle & the bookmarks & the shots inside bookstores & that new lovely teacup matches your new green shirt!
I can’t wait to dive into the story!!
Oxfords really are! I’m surprised they’re cheaper than penguin black spines and other editions (for the most part).
I’m hoping to read the frozen river too! I have it ❤
Wanna buddy read it?
So many fun books!!😍 I love the Smokies and Pigeon Forge! That’s where my husband and I went for a honey moon- A quiet little cabin in the mountains. We also visited the Titanic museum and wow. 💔😭 so emotional but an incredible experience!
That’s actually so romantic!! 🥰 The titanic museum exceeded my expectations!! My sister and I were trying to decide between that and something else and I’m sooo glad we chose it!!
Homecoming is great!! I need to read more of her backlist! I might read the lake house this summer!
I just added The Scent of Water to my TBR yesterday. That cover is so gorgeous! 😍
It really is!
Just got some of those transparent sticky notes too!
Wonderful trip recap and book haul, Miriam! Thanks for sharing your visit to Tennessee! My brother and nephew actually just moved there and we may visit at some point, so I am taking notes! I just got The Frozen River- will probably read it November/December. Beautiful books!

Poldark series 🎉🎉🎉
I loved frozen river!! I love books about midwives for some reason! Only the beautiful is also great!
I do too! Can’t wait to read them both!
Your bookshelves are lovely!
Thank you!
Tress of the Emerald Sea was a sweet read for me too!

My sister hates reading (how dare she! 😆) so she didn’t want to go to all the historic places I wanted to visit… so sad… one day!!!
That's a really cool flower US puzzle!
I discovered your channel through this video. What a haul! Happy Reading! 😎📚👍
Thank you! 😊
What a great video and books! So glad you had a nice time in TN. 🤠 The puzzle is so pretty. I know they also have a state bird puzzle.

I wish I had family in Tennessee!! I’d be going yearly lol! I do have family in the hickory NC area!! We went a couple years ago and had a blast
@@miriamelizabethreads I remember you telling me that. I got confused!
I like the Oxford classics too
You’re the second person I’ve watched today that’s talked about a million little choices! It’s a sign I must read it this month!
No way! I hope you enjoy it 😁
You picked up some prime souvenirs, Miriam! So glad you and your sister had a happy trip! Eastern Tennessee/Western North Carolina is gorgeous country. 😍
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Only The Beautiful was great too!!
We have family in Tennessee and have been wanting to visit the Titanic museum. My daughter loves all thing Titanic.
I live in Dickson, TN about an hour away from Nashville. I love McKays.
Book haul!! Let's go!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
❤️❤️❤️
Oh I hope you end up loving the timeless series!!
Hoping to read the first book this summer!
So glad you got to go to the Moonpie Store! It's such a cool place.
Thanks again for recommending! It was so cool!
I visited McKays in Knoxville last fall and it was amazing. We don't have anything comparable.
We don’t and it’s unacceptable 😅
Hello from Tennessee! I'm so glad you enjoyed your visit and that you visited Plenty in Cookeville. I see you stopped at Buc-ee's too! Haha. It's fun isn't it? I enjoyed your book haul and have added a few to my wish list. I am interested in reading Trollope.
Hello! Buc-ee’s was wonderful!! Thanks so much for watching 🤗
Love your shirt and greens my favorite color too 💚💚
I think dark pine green is my favourite shade but I love all shades of green!
@@miriamelizabethreads yassss or hunter green 💚😍 but I'm the same any green

I’m excited too!!! When is your birthday?
@@miriamelizabethreads June! 😁♥️
Haha! I don’t know anyone who hasn’t loved when the day comes! I was also nervous because I wasn’t sure if I would be mad about the time period she chose to stay in! But I totally wasn’t!
Looking forward to it!
How fun that you got to meet some great Book Tubers!
The best!
I loved the Frozen River!!!
Can’t wait to read it!
I'm from NE Tennesse! So glad you enjoyed your visit ❤

I totally agree about the font in books! It definitely changes the reading experience!
Yes!
I need to read becoming Mrs. Lewis! I already read once upon a wardrobe!
I love that cover of Little Women. So pretty!
I love that it’s the girls all together ❤️
That's an absolute travesty yall don't have a Hobby Lobby

I believe it’s the penguin deluxe edition

Lorna is a beautiful name!!

I didn’t get to it either, I do want to try and finish the Barsetshire series before I read any of his standallnes, two more to go!
@@miriamelizabethreadsyay!!! I'm into Dr Thorne now but not reading at any certain pace since I'm reading several books at once.😊
@@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD I love Dr Thorne!! (The book and especially the character!)
I have that whole set of those Poldark books!
I love the covers! They’re simple but I love them.
Prefer them over the movie covers
I have that "ugly" copy of Villette....i need the Pretty one you have. Lol
Yay Kristen L!!!🎉🎉
I loved The Scent of Water. I’m also reading the Emma M. Lion ones.
I’m really looking forward to reading it! I need to try Elizabeth Goudge! Do you have any other favourites by her?

It was wonderful! I’ve been to North and South Carolina too and just love the south!
I just recently got tress!!
Becoming Mrs. Lewis sounds so good - forgot about that one.
It does!
The Little Women cover is pretty.
such a gorgeous puzzle! I'm so sad that ya'll don't have hobby lobby. 😭😭😂😂
Breaks my heart 😭🤣
Floppy paperbacks 🔥🔥
So fun! I love Pigeon Forge and Gaitlinburg! Did you visit Biltmore while in Asheville?
I didn’t get a chance to but I would love to some day!!
I've always wanted to go to a mckays but don't have one near me in Tejas sadly 😭😭
😭
I have Only the Beautiful, haven't read yet.
Oooo I LOVE William Kent Krueger- Ordinary Grace is my favorite. FYI He’s not really a Christian author- more spiritual.
Really excited to try his books!
want to go to TN so bad 🎉
It’s such a gorgeous state!!
Ouch sorry about your wisdom teeth.
Thanks! I’m feeling a lot better now!
