Oooh.....that's lovely ❤

[@lafarmhouse]

your bedroom wallpaper is just the most gorgeous setting, and gorgeous books🌸🫖🧁i adore jane

[@pamelapoet9]

It's amazing to see Jane Austen's beautiful handwriting and then to imagine her pen scratching across the page. A blizzard is on its way here in CT, so it's an extra special treat to see your gorgeous spring footage!

[@MirandaMills]

Do hope your blizzard has passed, and the Spring flowers are poking through soon for you too, Pamela! Thank you so much for your generous and very kind support. I appreciate it so much ❤️

[@juliethomson8745]

As William Wordsworth stated ; "And then my heart with pleasure fills and dances with the daffodils" Our hearts skip and dance with the display of daffodils both inside and outside of your home and new books that you have highlighted for a pleasurable read today Miranda! Thank you.Julie xx

[@MirandaMills]

That’s so kind, Julie! Thank you, and whenever I see a bank of daffodils I think of Wordsworth too 💛🌼

[@ingaurban404]

Dear Miranda, I am always so happy when Sunday arrives and there will be a new video by you! What a stunning book you received from the publisher. The Lady Susan Volume looks so beautiful! I adored "Wintering" and now, of course, I need to buy "Enchanted". I've already finished "The Wind in the Willows" and I'm looking forward to the book club discussion. For some reason I had never read it as a child. Some sentences touched my heart deeply. It was lovely to see your mother again! Thank you for all your lovely and heartwarming work! Have a wonderful week, you two!

[@MirandaMills]

Thanks so much, Inga! I am so thrilled with this gorgeous Lady Susan 💙

[@elizabethapplebaum9245]

"Overture of Hope" sounds so extraordinary, and I doubt I would have ever heard of it if not for you. I just ordered a copy. Thank you!

[@hannahkelly908]

The dress diary book looks absolutely wonderful! I need to get a copy to read.

[@lizdorrington2851]

Thank you so much for a beautiful video video Miranda . Little Rippon bookstore looks amazing! I have several classics on by TBR at the moment, Hound Of The Baskervilles, The Mill On The Floss, The Picture Of Dorian Grey and The Turn Of The Screw.

[@sharonthompson2333]

Hello Miranda, I just found you last week and have been catching up on your amazing videos. You put a spark in my day, I have been making a log of Books To Be Read. I love your Mother as well, you are a great team and such a lovable mother and daughter. You both bring so much to your channel. Thank you for being you, you bring such happiness to so many. Your love of books is so inspiriting. I also think you are a fantastic photographer you both offer so much in so many way. Thank you - Happy May. .

[@irhonda31]

Same here - I am now bingeing her videos!

[@hannahkelly908]

Your videos are so lovely! I love watching them.

[@christysmith1058]

Ida Cook is one of my very favorite romance authors - she wrote dozens of books that were a huge cut above every other Harlequin (published by Mills & Boon in England) romance and I have been collecting them since the early 70's. Her pen name was Mary Burchell and she also published an autobiography under her real name called We Followed Our Stars in 1976 describing her and her sister's experiences. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in this author - her life was fascinating! I am absolutely thrilled that you mentioned her -- thank you sooo much!

[@MirandaMills]

Yes, my Mum has read her autobiography, and it's on my list to read too! She was a remarkable woman. xxx

[@michellepelkey51]

Hello from upstate New York. You have such an amazing book collection. I love how you display your lovely reads. You and your mom have a beautiful relationship.

[@lisasmith1236]

Hello Amanda, just finished reading the "stationary shop" by Marjan Kamali. I can't remember if it was one you had ever reccomended , published in 2019. As you are always sharing your reads with us thought I'd share this one. It was a lovely read, a wonderful love story, sprinkled with vivid descriptions of cooking......hope you'll have a chance to read it. Beautiful cover, which first attracted me. Enjoy your week ahead

[@lottiephillips7805]

Thank you so much for all the recommendations Miranda. I now a have a dedicated book where I list all these books for future reading delight. You so often send me in a different reading direction with what you feature and I liked the sound of ALL of them. I really enjoyed your visit to your local bookshop and it has prompted me to make a list of all the independent bookshops in my area, which I aim to visit (and support) within the very near future. Best wishes to you and your mum from Lottie in Suffolk.

[@pamelajarvis7728]

Hi Miranda, another great vlog to encourage variety of reading. Loved the Lady Susan!! Just reading Gill Hornby’s Godmersham Park and loving it!! Jane Austen as a real human being 😄. It really is a lovely relaxed read! Thanks again for the informative recommendations 👍. Best wishes.

[@dianeknott3655]

Miranda, I keep tuning in to your book reviews to find new authors and titles and have been happily on an Amazon book buying binge because of you. 😉The pile next to my comfy chair is growing! However, this question is a bit "off topic"....I simply adore all of the gorgeous wallpaper in your house! It creates such beautiful background ambiance in your videos, especially when you add a vase of fresh flowers, and placed on the cupboards are lovely delicate floral pieces of china, teacups, pitchers....What can you tell us about this wallpaper?? Is it something that was already in the house when you moved into it, or have you and your mother had it hung? They are so very stunning! Can you tell us something about it in one of your future videos? I'd love to hear more about it and I'm sure many of your other fans have also noticed it and would like to see you feature it. Thank you so much for all of the work you do in order to bring many hitherto unknown books and authors to us!

[@MirandaMills]

The wallpaper was already in the house & is from the 1930s. I spoke about it when we first moved here. Xxx

[@teresaparkins1255]

Hi Miranda, loved today's video and I am very happy that you recommended Jenny Agutter reading I Capture the Castle as I have audio credits to use and love hearing what others enjoyed. I don't know if you have listened to Haptic and Hue podcast, if not then I think you would enjoy listening to Jo Andrews talking all things textiles. Jo recommended The Dress Diary of Mrs Anne Sykes and I am looking forward to reading that and hope you enjoy your copy too. Best wishes and happy reading, Teresa 📚♥

[@philippamoore3971]

OMG, I adored All My Wild Mothers. It's so beautifully written - poetic and lyrical, tender and deeply moving. I was absolutely spellbound by it. Perfect for anyone who loves nature and is seeking a gentler yet wilder path. And you can't help but admire her determination to create something beautiful out of life’s inevitable grief and harshness (and trying to teach her young son about both). I couldn't recommend it more highly and can't wait to hear what you (and your mum, I think she'll like it too) think of it! xx

[@terri5172]

Bookshops are my favorite places and love when you take us along!!

[@MirandaMills]

My favourite places too! 📚 ❤️

[@marty9011]

" I Capture the Castle " is always a delightful read. Now I'll have to reread it again ! "Days in the Caucasus " sounds fascinating.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Book Shopping Vlog? Yay! Spring has arrived early for some of us.

[@MirandaMills]

Thank you!

[@bellathereader1328]

Love the intro to your video with the spring blooming flowers and trees.....

[@henriettanovember4733]

Caroline Norton's life very sad as she could do very little due to the fact she was a woman...and it is even sadder that this is the case in many places still for women today. Honestly sometimes I do not understand men and what they can get out of treating women like this for millennia. None of them would exist if not a woman had given them life...risking her own in the process.

[@catholicpeaces6257]

Just love how you and your dear mother make literature and the aesthetics involved come to life! Because of your love for beautiful literature and the lives of the authors I ordered Reunion, Wild Places, and Someone at a Distance-got the Whipple book from Poshmark-lucky! If I may recommend a beautiful and live within you book about different generations reception to inherited wealth(loggingst the turn of the century) along with family secrets that were unfortunately harboured too long amd weaves in the voice of trees in BC forests and prairie life in Saskatchewan then Greenwood by Michael Christie is a must-you won’t be disappointed!

[@greenwithpurpose]

I read Lady Susan years after I had first read her other novels. It's just so refreshingly light (in a good way) and laugh-out-loud funny.

[@juliepfnister7885]

Your video is a sweet little burst of spring in my day! I loved all the daffodils and cherry blossoms in the video. Does my heart good on a grey, rainy day where I am at. ;-) Wishing you and your mom a lovely Sunday. Thanks for bringing coziness and joy to my day. :-)

[@MirandaMills]

I’m so happy to read that, Julie! Thank you very much indeed ❤️

[@karenwhite2601]

That is wonderful edition of Lady Susan, one to be treasured. I also like the independent bookshop edition of Enchantment - definitely one to add to my wish list. I've had 'I Capture the Castle' waiting to be read since I bought it last year, it sounds as if this is definitely the right time to pick it up. I've already started on Wind in the Willows, I'm sure I read it as a child but really don't remember it clearly. I must say, I agree with Mole about leaving off the spring cleaning and having an adventure instead. The Dress Diary sounds fascinating. I also think Days in the Caucasus and Overture of Hope could be very interesting. Just had to edit this to say that I've found an online stockist of the independent bookshop edition of Enchantment. I instantly ordered it. Feeling very happy!

[@Veganmylocsarereal17]

Hello Miranda, thank you so much for another wonderful Vlog… I was able watch it while eating my lunch, that edition of “Lady Susan” is so BEAUTIFUL 🥰…. I love watching Donna look through it “ hello Donna” such a great way to enjoy my break🥰🥰📚

[@MirandaMills]

Your very kind comments are so heartwarming, Kiki! So happy you were able to enjoy the video in your break! Thank you so much for your very kind support! I really appreciate it! ❤️📚😘

[@AntonietteGaristo]

I believe I let out quite a squeal seeing that beautiful edition of “Lady Susan”. The powder blue cover and Jane Austen’s own hand is really something. So many more tempting reads. “Overture of Hope” sounds extraordinary, “The Case of the Married Woman” equally fascinating. The dress diary too! I think I will pick that up for my mum. I hope to finish “The Wind in the Willows” in time for the CBC discussion. What a lovely read. “I Capture the Castle” has a special place in my heart. Perfect for spring. Thank you again Miranda for another transportive video. ❤️❤️❤️

[@naomihickman5098]

Loved the beginning of this video with the beautiful filming of spring flowers. You are lucky having such a great independent bookshop near you! Such interesting book recommendations as always, I especially like the sound of The Dress Diary book. The Lady Susan manuscript book is simply stunning, so beautiful and also so amazing to see Jane Austen’s actual handwriting! I have recently finished listening to I Capture The Castle (again), I also have the one narrated by Jenny Agutter who reads it perfectly for me. I’m listening to lots of Jeeves and Wooster right now, the Jonathan Cecil narration. There’s lots in my reading pile, but thinking The Agency for Scandal, The Game of Hearts, The Whispering Muse and The Marriage Portrait first, and The Wind in the Willows of course (but may listen to that one, I love the Michael Hordern narration). Thanks so much for another wonderful and inspiring video Miranda!

[@exomake_mehorololo]

Happy Sunday!!! Love your mug 😁 the country side is looking splendid😀

[@MirandaMills]

Thanks so much! ❤️📚

[@nettyknits]

So lovely to see the daffodils out and to see you and your mum out and about. You have so many wonderful recommendations this time - I’ll have to get my book lists out to add them in. I’ve just finished Wind in the Willows - loved it so much and am now handing it over to my grandson. The Lady Susan book is so beautiful. ❤

[@irhonda31]

Thanks! Love all the book recs!

[@MirandaMills]

Thank you so much for your kind support! Your generosity is much appreciated, and I’m so happy you enjoyed the book recommendations ❤️📚🌹

[@kamicastillo1451]

Thank you Miranda 😊 I so enjoy spending part of Sundays with you and your updates

[@susanfisher4344]

I am excited for the dress diary book and for the case of the married woman. They both sound fascinating.

[@lauramaga2084]

What an interesting and lovely vlog! Lady Susan book is awesome, so glad you shared it with us, I enjoyed all the beautiful details so much… I was looking forward to reading Enchantment too, after Wintering I was very curious and I’ve just started it. I simply adore the passage when she says “ I need to soften, to let go of my empirical boundaries, to find a greater fluidity in my being”… so inspiring! The Dress Diary of Mrs.Anne Sykes sounds an absolutely fantastic read and I’ll probably buy it , thank you for all your recommendations, you are such a good “literary mentor” to me!

[@MirandaMills]

Thanks so much for your very kind comment, Laura! Have a lovely reading week 📚❤️

[@suenicholls5446]

😀💕xx thanks Miranda. I’ve read and loved the wind in the willows and I capture the castle and shall reserve heartburn from my library. Love to you both.

[@gypsyskyy9451]

Hi Miranda, another lovely vlog! When you were outside at the beginning looking at the changes going on , I decided to do the same thing, to go out and notice the beginning of Springtime! The Jane Austin book is beautiful. I have discovered recently , from working on my families geneology, that I am related to Jane Austin. She is my 10th cousin, 3 x's removed. I am so excited. I have the family tree and we are related through my fathers grandmother, on his British side. (her name was Aldrich, my dad was McFarland). So now, I am for sure going to eventually get copies of all of her works, and read them all. Hope you and your mum have a great week! 🤗

[@gillwoolley6515]

The dress diary sounds fascinating. I look forward to hearing how you get on with it.

[@roseschrier3770]

Love all the signs of Spring🙂 fun book shopping !

[@suzy8109]

Another lovely Sunday vlog, Miranda. It seems strange for me to recommemd books to you (when I am usually the one buying books on your recommendation) but I would like to suggest a book that I read recently which I loved. It's about love, grief, and nature conservation. It is based in the remote landscapes of Ireland, Australia and Greenland and is so atmospheric and moving ... and beautifully written. The book is "The Last Migration" by Charlotte McConaghy (and I loved it so much I have just picked up her second book "Once there were wolves"). If you do pick it up, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Happy beginning of Spring! 💐💕

[@inlaterdays]

Loved how you began this video, with a walk amid spring flowers! And then book shopping, plus books to be read. Just wonderful. That edition of Lady Susan is absolutely beautiful.

[@jancorbett53]

Cannot believe that March is whizzing by so fast. There is nothing better than having a good browse in an independent book shop. Great choice of books to be read too .

[@maries3000]

Hello Miranda, the sight of those daffodils is so cheering. How I miss an early spring! I’ve just finished reading , which I really enjoyed. Your copy of Lady Susan is so beautiful and how lovely to see it in Jane’s handwriting.

[@MirandaMills]

It is so lovely to look at her handwriting!!

[@maries3000]

It was Jane Austen at Home, which I had just finished reading.

[@teresaglasco6082]

Always happy to find a new video from you! You have given me several new titles for my tbr.

[@WaterBearReads]

Lovely video Miranda! I loved exploring the Ripon Bookshop with you guys! It's also so interesting to see the daffodils! We are still buried under snow and expecting more with no sign of emerging buds yet...but the cedar waxwings are back and this morning on a hike I spotted a chipmunk, so it's near! Thank you again for recommending 'Daughter of the Moon Goddess'. My Mom is crazy about a show on Netflix called "Love Between Fairy and Devil" and after watching it I feel "Daughter" would make an amazing Mother's Day Gift (as you also suggested). Your Lady Susan is spectacular!!!! What a beauty! Have a wonderful rest of your Sunday and a lovely week ahead!

[@MirandaMills]

I love how special all the early signs of Spring being so much joy, especially I can imagine when you’ve still got lots of snow! Glad you think Daughter of the Moon Goddess would make a great Mother’s Day present too! Enjoy your week too! ❤️📚

[@irhonda31]

What an interesting group of books! Days in the Caucasus and Overture of Hope sound especially interesting to me. I just downloaded the Jenny Agutter version of I Capture the Castle, which I read years ago. Thanks for so many good recommendations!

[@MirandaMills]

I hope you enjoy them. Jenny Agutter has a wonderful reading voice so will have to relisten to that one myself! Thank you so much for your kind words❤️📚

[@michelem6165]

Overture of Hope sounds like it might be a memoir of the two sisters Ida and Louise Cook. Ida Cook also was a prolific Mills and Boone writer of romance fiction under the name of Mary Burchell. She wrote her own Memoir: We Followed our Stars. Really a fascinating life. Always enjoy your programs for the new books I learn about.

[@christinaoldham6614]

So, so many temptations! I just ordered Days in the Caucasus, put the Antonia Fraser book on my "For Later" shelf in the library, and as I'm planning on wandering through a couple of bookstores today, I may see whether I can buy Overture at one of those. Thanks for those brilliant suggestions.

[@LaDonnaMills]

I’ve already read The Wind in the Willows this month for the comfort book club. In addition, I added Overture of Hope, The Case of the Married Woman, Lady Susan, Enchantment, and The Secret Garden to my want to read list. Thanks for a great video!!!

[@hello_from_nic2998]

Thank you especially for taking us viewers with you to the lovely bookshop. Even more knowing you are getting Katherine May's new book. I found out about her books through the Comfort Book Club and already finished her new book as audio, impatiently waiting for my physical copy. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Enchantment. Happy to read The Wind In the Willows with you, your mom and the members of the comfort book club, also enjoying Georgette Heyer's Frederica and Bird Cottage by Eva Meijer.

[@MirandaMills]

All such lovely reads!

[@genel.kleanthous8372]

Very interesting. In the Ripon bookshop I was playing my usual game - I want that one and that one and......Thankyou for allowing us time to see the books clearly.

[@deboramissoorten6765]

Wauw that XL book looks so amazing 👌 and how many great book recommendations , my TBR list has grown ,😉 I added Enchantment and The dress Diary of Mrs Anne Sykes as I used to make Historical costumes also in a small scale and 'Overture of Hope '. I was surprised by the beautiful flowers and trees already in bloom , here not yet really just a few crocuses , it feels we are behind .... so looking forward to spring . Wish you a lovely week ahead.

[@barbaramiller2643]

Have you read "The Personal Librarian?" It's an amazing historical fiction novel about J.P. Morgan's black, woman librarian, Belle. The story of her family and her accomplishments is truly remarkable.

[@DianeC1975]

Enjoyed this so much. Lady Susan book is just beautiful. Ripons bookstore looks so interesting. Wish we had bookstores like that here in Arizona. So many bookstores closed after I moved here in 2009. Your spring flowers were fun to see. We've had pretty good rains here this year so far and our desert is having a great bloom season. Yellow and orange poppies, blue lupins ect. I've only seen this one other time in 14 years. Lovely vlog Miranda. Til next time. Hello to your mum. 😘🤗💕

[@MirandaMills]

So glad you enjoyed it, Diane! Your Arizona Spring flowers sound lovely! 💐💚

[@silviafrassineti5214]

It is really a magic coincidence I just downloaded Enchantment by Katherine May yesterday I discovered "Wintering" with your Comfort Book and fell in love with this writer. I can't wait to read it and listen to your opinion later. Good Day to you and your mum. Thank you for another amazing video 😍

[@sandyokey1019]

The Lady Susan book is gorgeous💙I love visiting the Ripon Bookshop with you and I would love to go there in person someday. I read I Capture the Castle several years ago and really should pick it up again. Same with Heartburn, and that is a beautiful edition. I added The Dress Diary to my wish list. It sounds fascinating! I had enjoyed Dinner with Edward so much that I need to pick up her newest book too. As always, thank you Miranda for the recommendations and a lovely visit. Have a good week💕🌼🌷🌼🌷

[@nancyfritz1827]

Miranda, The opening of your video made me ache for the early Spring days when the world begins to turn green again and we see the the first flowers and tree blossoms. We are expecting some snow this week on LI, but I have a small patch of jonquils coming up by my front door that I inspect every day searching for the appearance of buds. Your edition of "Lady Susan" is exquisite, what a treasure!! Have a wonderful week!💕

[@MirandaMills]

Thank you, Nancy! Hope spring arrives as soon as possible for you! We're still getting bad weather and snow here too!! Have a wonderful week ahead ♥️

[@jackiewheaton4199]

I love Dodie Smith's book, I Capture the Castle. I found it in my attic when I was a teenager, around 1968. It was my mother's book. I've read it at least twice, probably 3x. I just finished reading Piranesi. So excellent. Now I'm rereading The Magician's Nephew by CS Lewis. Spring is not close in Maine, USA! At least not that close.

[@anitaalfred2880]

Lovely video for this season!! That manuscript book looks amazing!!

[@luke28]

Hello Miranda, Very happy to see you out here again :) I hope you are doing a bit better and got some well deserved relaxing time at last! In the mean time I am enjoying your wonderful recommendations. I went to check on SP Books and I saw, like your mum said, that they have an edition of mrs. Dalloway indeed! It looks wonderful. Who knows, maybe some day... ;) And "Days in the Caucasus" also seems very interesting. Of course always here for some 'I capture the castle', such a wonderful book. I have never read the audiobook though, good idea! In the mean time, love seeing your content as ever. Have a nice new week!

[@suebraid2480]

Dear Miranda, I LOVE I Capture the Castle. I acquired my copy years ago and I have re read it every year since. I always enjoy your content!

[@debbiew7496]

The Little Ripon Bookshop looks to be a lovely place to browse. I also enjoyed your “signs of spring” footage, your beautiful matching mug and book recommendations for spring. Spring is my favourite season as it is so full of life! That, and our snow finally melts, at some point…we hope 😂

[@MirandaMills]

Thanks so much, Debbie! So happy you enjoyed the signs of Spring here in Yorkshire! I love Spring as well. Hoping you’ll have definite signs of Spring where you are soon!

[@allsorts4041]

Good evening Miranda! You are always very inspiring!

[@tereasamacdonald3710]

Good evening. I am so glad you mentioned Overture to Hope! Decades ago I read Mary Burchell's book about her and her sister's extraodinary exploits of saving Jewish opera stars from the Nazi regime. I have already purchased the ebook to read. Please accept my compliments on the breadth of genres offered to your viewers in your KZbin videos. I am a particular fan of Dorothy L. Sayers and Georgette Heyer, and of course, Agatha Christie. Best wishes for your continued success. Tereasa MacDonald

[@MirandaMills]

My mum had read and loved Ida Cook’s memoir years ago too! We’re both very excited to read more through the new book. Thank you so much for your very kind comment, and lovely to hear from someone who shares many of my favourites too 📚❤️

[@heatherdorsey4770]

I love your bookstore vlogs! The nonfiction books sound wonderful. I've put them on my TBR list.

[@MirandaMills]

Thanks so much, Heather!

[@jamgart6880]

I must visit The Ripon Bookshop next time I’m in Ripon. I usually try and find some used classics in Oxfam and some of the surrounding charity shops. I’ve found some wonderful books whenever I’ve been. But I always forget the Bookshop until I drive passed it! Next time, I’ll make sure I go there first 😊

[@moiraoliver1671]

Enchantment sounds a very relaxing read. Maybe something of the lines of Elizabeth Goudge(I have just finished 'The Rosemary Tree') for the umpteenth time --- wonderful. Am about to start 'A Mansion for Murder' by Frances Brody. These are set in Yorkshire - so you and your Mum may like them.

[@MirandaMills]

It’s a non-fiction book, but Katherine May is a lovely writer. I do like Elizabeth Goudge, but I didn’t manage to get very far with the Frances Brody I read. A shame, as I did like the Yorkshire setting!

[@davidsopademiso]

Lovely video as always 💕

[@carolinerogerson6912]

This is a very late comment, but I am binge watching. You may cover this later when reflecting on the reading but wondered if you are aware that the author of "All my wild mothers" was a participant in a fascinating BBC documentary around a decade ago called The Convent (it's on KZbin) where she and three others moved into a convent for 12 weeks to explore their lives and those of the nuns.

[@pamelafreeman4548]

So enjoyed this!!

[@cathstokk]

Thank you so much for taking us along to the lovely local bookshop. Enchantment is on my list as well, to pick very soon. Lovely vlog as always 🥰

Dear Miranda, your choices are always so thoughtful. I thought the Lady Susan facsimile was stunning. And, I love I Capture the Castle. Have you seen the film which I think is a good adaptation. Have a lovely week. X

How cheerful this was to watch as I look out my window to snow! Miranda, is there a list somewhere of 2023 Comfort Book Club selections? I don’t recall seeing the selections listed this year and wasn’t able to find it by looking back on your channel. I always enjoy reading along and then watching you and your Mum discuss.

The information is on the Comfort Book Club page on my blog, Judi, which is linked in the video description box of almost every video (including this one). And the upcoming books are also announced at the end of each CBC video. Xx

Thank you so much for the Banine book. This woman mainly interesting (to me) because of her mad love for Ernst Jünger. I didn't know about this memoir and surprisingly found it in Russian. Will be reading it asap. Great choice of books, I put some of them in a basket. Have a great week, both you and your mum❤

[@MirandaMills]

So glad you could find the book in Russian, Marina! ❤️📚

Dear Miranda, thanks for your bookish suggestions. By means of your videos I discovered many British Authors ( Miss Read, Jim Crumley) and I bought their books to improve my English knowledge. Thanks again

I'm so glad you've enjoyed my recommendations, Eleonora ❤️

Many thanks for yet another beautiful video. Have you ever read The Living Mountain by Nan Shepherd? The Folio Society do a beautiful edition 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@MirandaMills]

Thank you! Yes, I love that book, although I don't have the Folio edition!

[@bernadettekeogan-clarke5025]

WILL BUY ALL EXCEPT THE LAST BOOK GREAT SELECTION

Some super recommendations there Miranda, thank you so much! I have the Dress Diary book waiting to be read and I am really looking forward to getting to it! I Capture The Castle is a favourite of mine, and I have just ordered Dodie Smith's autobiography (Look Back With Love, I think it's called), from Slightly Foxed. Currently slogging through 'The Japanese Lover' by Isabel Allende for my book group. You are lucky to have such a pretty independent bookshop locally, thank you for taking us along with you! X

[@MirandaMills]

So happy you enjoyed the recommendations and have some of them on your TBR pile too, Penny! I really appreciate having such a nice independent bookshop nearby. It’s always a treat to shop there📚❤️
