Wonderful! A few things for anyone with an appetite for reading: - It is worth noting that all of the shops you visiting are within easy walking distance of Princes Street and the Old Town, with Topping & Co. being, at a stretch, just 10 minutes from the clock-towered Balmoral Hotel on Princes Street, and McNaugthon's/Typemonger Books being only a few minutes further along and across the street. - And yes, Stockbridge is fabulous. Across from Golden Hare Books on St. Stephen Street is Ginger & Pickles, an independent bookshop for children. - Great that you mention Rare Bird Books. When it opened I feared it wouldn't last. I, a male, am so happy that it appears to be thriving. It's a fab shop with wonderful people. Hopefully your kind words will create additional interest in it. - Shelter Books is my go-to in Stockbridge, though my interest is marketing and related matters. I have discovered (in the truest sense) so much intelligent material there, with prices ranging from £4 to £5 for books originally costing 10 times that. Some amazing antiques also show up here. - Yes, Waterstones is wonderful (as is the one in Piccadilly), but there is also a great Blackwell's, 20 minutes away on the Old Town side. Blackwell's is also just one block up Chambers Street, which is located across from the main entrance to Greyfriars Kirkyard. And just a block up from Blackwell's is where JK Rowling did most of her Harry Potter writing. Today, on the corner of South Bridge and Drummond Street is a Black Medicine Coffee Shop, which has a sign advising that, no, Harry Potter was not written at that location. What the sign does not mention is that the writing was done upstairs in what is now (2024) a Chinese restaurant. - Just 10 minutes further along and a block over is Tills Bookshop, another famous Edinburgh institution. - There is also the newly relocated Edinburgh Bookshop in Bruntsfield, a village very much like Stockbridge, with fab eats, boutiques a great magazine shop and even a fabulous shop for vinyl records. Bruntsfield connects with Morningside, another affluent neighbourhood, so the charity shops in this area always have great content and intelligent books. - And you are quite right: the charity shops in Edinburgh are fantastic. And so was this video. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing! I have some of them. 🥰

Hey! Haven't seen a video from you in a while - everything ok?

are the smaller Barnes & Noble Collectible Editions ( treasure island / 20,000 under the sea) unabridged / uncensored

Go on. Great list.

Hi there! Just subscribed to your channel and this is the first video I'm watching. I am totally going to search for Eight Cousins! 😊

Hey Elizabeth! What an awesome video! As usual so well presented! I also love that Sanditon PBS Masterpiece series! So many great recommendations! I am especially interested in the Jane Austen at Home by Lucy Worsley. It sounds wonderful! Have a lovely weekend!🥰

Here's to a great reading summer. Best wishes.

My daughter bought me a little glass Jemima Puddle Duck for my birthday! I was so privileged to visit in 2016 Hill Top and the Armitt Museum, which has some of her stuff. ♥️🥰

Yay! You picked some of the books for my birthday. 😂

I love this! I recommend The Christmas Hirelings by Braddon narrated by Armitage! Great short Christmas listen. 😁♥️

I didn’t know they’re were more books after pink rabbit!!!!! 😮🥰

Love all these possibilities! 🥰♥️😍

I’ve had Goodbye Mr Chips on my list for a long time. 😮😅♥️

Hello Elizabeth. This was lovely, you have some gorgeous editions and your shelves look incredible. Enjoy your summer reads x

Hi Elizabeth! What a cool video! So many great recommendations! I share your love for Robin McKinley's 'Beauty" and read her "The Hero and the Crown" over the winter months. I thought it was wonderful - I loved so much about it but really loved the friendship she had with her horse. 'When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit' is on our TBR for this summer! I added it after watching your video. Mary Stewart is another author I want to read more of, I have only read "The Moonspinners' and I could not get over how much I felt like I was in Greece. Have a lovely weekend!💛

I’m so glad that YT algorithm recommended your channel! My TBR list is significantly longer now:)

Thank you for this video! Love from India!

nice

Sister, I've recently finished "Little Witch" by Anna Elizabeth Bennett. That's just awesome. I really enjoyed reading this book. The girl who is the main character had showed a heroic role. Her friends and their family rescued her from cruel witch 🧹 🔮

Hi Elizabeth! I am the same as you in how I go about audio books - I tend to use them for rereads and they are usually classics. I have also began using them for new releases and then purchasing the book if I actually like it. Thank you for the Ready Player One reminder! I have been wanting to read it forever! I agree with you about Richard Armitage's voice! I loved him in North and South. A great video! So many great recommendations! Thank you!💞

Wow Elizabeth! Brava! What a great video full of wonderful books! I want every single one of them! I am currently buddy reading 'All Creatures' with my student. It's absolutely wonderful. I will be watching this video again very soon! Thank you!!!🥰

So glad to see you! What a beautiful bevy of books!

Hi Elizabeth, I just want to let you know we finished Da Vinci's Cat and found it wonderful! It was such a perfect choice because we went to Italy in April and saw The School of Athens and The Sistine Chapel. Thank you again so much for mentioning it!

Awesome video!

I just found you through Heather @WaterBearReads channel and loved this video. And your books you’ve made are beautiful! I’ll be checking out more of your videos and your Etsy shop. 😊

Just subscribed thanks to Water Bear Reads channel. Your rebound books look amazing.

Great video … I enjoyed hearing your reviews and recommendations!

I love your channel so much. One of these days the algorithm is going to realize this and you are going to blow up! I can't wait for that to happen. I've seen The Mona Lisa Vanishes spoken of by other 'Booktubers' but I never felt compelled to pick it up and now, after your review, I just ordered it! I love Brett Helquist's work as well! Mercy Watson is one of our favorites! We are reading Impossible Creatures right now! My son is liking it - the jury is still out for me. I struggle with books that spend less time on character development - I'm very much a character person. But only halfway through. One of my friends just read Rooftoppers with her son and loved it! DaVinci's Cat looks wonderful...and we are safe because we already have plans to go to Italy in April! Ha ha! Have you read 'Masterpiece' by Elise Broach? Another heist- this one focused on Albrecht Durer. My son really loved it, as did I, LOVED this video! Thank you!🌷☘🌷🍀♥

Do you know if Mina Lima will publish the rest of the HP series? Still no sign of Goblet of Fire :(

Thank you so much for this video! There are some great suggestions, but this is a great reminder to read 'How to Win Friends' which I have not read yet. My son is a bit on the shy side, and I have been trying to find ways to help him with his social skills. I love your videos and always jump on here as soon as I have noticed that you have posted! Happy "Gal"-entines Day!🌹

So nice to see you here and you are creating such beautiful eye candy! What a rewarding hobby.

I loved your shameless plug ha ha!!! How creative! My favorite of your creations is The Winnie-the-Pooh I think, but they are all lovely!!! Great video! I've already checked out your Etsy shop and it looks so cool!

Glad to hear good things about the Truman book. I really like McCullough and found several of his books(including Truman )at a thrift store and picked them up.

I am so pleased to see you review "Truman" by McCollough!! It is a fine book, and it deserves to be in more reviewers' number 1 slot! I was born and raised in KC,MO in the 60s and i remember him as a very quiet celebrity from Independence. I was brought up close to where he was raised, remember his childhood farmhouse, and my parents shopped at Truman Corners, and i went to Harry S Truman elementary school! Independence, MO is where he spent most of his life before and after the presidency, and that city is where his presidential library is located. I have enjoyed a number of David McCollough's books.... i read The Great Bridge and The Johnstown Flood in summer of 2020 and was extremely happy with them! It was first few months of lockdown and i really got on a nonfiction ride.

I love your videos! You are so insightful and your reading tastes match up with mine perfectly - thank you for your book videos!!😁

How Green Was My Valley is one of my favorites of 2023 too - one my favorites ever really. Great reviews.

I'm so excited to see you again! How was your time in South Korea? I love all these book recommendations! Rudyard Kipling is one of my favorite authors - I really loved the Second Jungle Book- this summer I visited his Vermont home where he wrote Jungle Books among others. I vlogged it if interested. I loved Journey to the Center of the Earth! But its the only one I have read so far. I totally love Sam too! My son and I just started reading The Hobbit- I forgot how its actually rather funny at parts! David McCullough is one of those authors whose books I see everywhere but I never properly focused on, so I thank you so much for highlighting him. This is one of the best "Best of" lists I've come across! Well done!!

So lovely to see you again. Some great recommendations here, I really want to get to Oliver Twist this year. Hoping 2024 is a great year for you x

Ooh these books are so beautiful! Going on the wishlist

খুব ভালো লাগলো। ধন্যবাদ আপনাকে

.

Excellent!. Smart and funny

Just found this video!! Fabulous!!❤

I guess i was hoping for more video of the actual bookstores you talk about.

Elizabeth, I love your updates! I just finished "A Girl from Limberlost." Looking forward to watching the movie next. All the editions you have are beautiful. Now, you have certainly peeked my interest in "The House Without Windows." Thanks for the recommendation 😊

이 좋은 영상이 왜 안 뜨지?

What an exciting move!! Pachinko is one of my favourite books, it reads a lot faster than you would think given it’s size. Great list of books, a few that I hadn’t come across to add to the TBR!

Welcome to Korea! Hope you achieve your goal over here

Congrats on your wonderful opportunity ahead! Your enthusiasm for the books and culture will be a huge asset in your preparations.
