Shopping From My Bookshelves

[@gailgilchrist5421]

I was scrolling through your "backlist" and decided to watch this video. I'm so glad I did because it inspired me to pull down some storage boxes from a shelf in an attempt to discover a Shirley Jackson book that I knew I had somewhere. In the process, not only did I find that book, but the two boxes I looked in were full of brand new books, most of which had been purchased on trips to the UK. Among them was a copy of Fair Girls and Grey Horses, which is highlighted in your video. Thank you so much for this video as it is going to encourage me to shop from my bookshelves (storage boxes) and read some of these long-lost books!

Thank you so much for these soothing videos, Miranda! They are helping to keep some of my anxiety at bay during these stressful times and I look forward to each and every one of them. 😘

Unread books are stored in a separate room from the ones I’ve read so it’s like going to the library when I need a new book! 😆 The books covers in English are so much more interesting than what is offered by our French Canadians publishers. Yours are so romantic and pretty.

[@MirandaMills]

haha, I love that you have your own little library of unread books! The publishing industry here has really upped its game here in recent years over book covers - there are so many gorgeous ones!

A great selection of recommendations. I had no idea about all the John Buchan connections, this is a wonderful discovery. Thank you for sharing from your book shelf:)

[@MirandaMills]

So glad you enjoyed the video Margaret! Thank you!

I, too, have been browsing my book shelves and, by co-incidence today, picked up my copy of O. Douglas's Penny Plain and was delighted that you reminded me of her relationship to John Buchan. I think you have chosen some delightful books to keep yourself busy with. I shall definitely be searching out my next O. Douglas...now if only I could remember which shelf it is on... Thanks for another inspiring video Miranda. Take care, Teresa 📚🌸

[@MirandaMills]

Always lovely to find another O. Douglas fan! Thanks for your lovely comment Teresa xxx

I have read Fair Girls and Grey Horses (I was a pony mad child) and enjoyed it immensely. I have a copy of The Outermost House by Henry Beston in my TBR pile which was the book that gave Juliet Blaxland the idea for her book The Easetrnmost House according to an interview she gave a while ago. Perhaps I should read that one next.

[@MirandaMills]

Oh I want to get The Outermost House too now! Great to hear you enjoyed Fair Girls and Grey Horses; I'm looking forward to reading it xxx

[@olivewritesblog]

You have definitely inspired me to shop my own shelves! (And added to my TBR pile!) Thank you for your inspiring and helpful content these days :)

[@MirandaMills]

I'm so pleased to have inspired you! Thank you for the lovely comment :)

I just discovered your channel and you are a delight. Thank you for your videos and all the amazing recommendations

Thumbs up for your support of independent bookshops! The constant nymph sounds very interesting, I have never heard of it. Generally speaking, you listed many authors that I don't know. P.S. you wear such beautiful clothes in all of your videos!

[@MirandaMills]

Thanks very much! I'm really looking forward to reading The Constant Nymph - I wonder how it will stand up to the test of time!

[@Laurengreenkat]

Lovely video. Great inspiration to shop my own bookshelf and please may I ask where is the beautiful blouse from x

[@tess1433]

I loved The Easternmost House.

[@MirandaMills]

I'm looking forward to reading it!

[@patriciagarrett4126]

Does anyone know where I can possibly get, I had two ponies by Josephine Pullein-Thompson?

“The Way to the Sea” sounds like the perfect companion read to a book I finished recently and loved - “Once Upon a River” by Diane Setterfield, which features the Thames. Thank you for the recommendation!

[@MirandaMills]

I read that one last year! Kate Morton’s ‘The Clockmaker’s Daughter’ featured the Thames really beautifully too. It’s fun to read books that share a particular theme or feature sometimes! Xx

[@katrinadessavre5293]

@@MirandaMills I've been meaning to pick up "The Clockmaker's Daughter" and this makes me eager to start it soon!

[@MirandaMills]

@@katrinadessavre5293 I so enjoyed it!! xxx
