Wow -- what amazing finds! Congratulations!!

I love both Rosamunde Pilcher and Murder She Wrote😊. The books by Donald Bain are my favorite, to me he captured Jessica’s voice from the tv series perfectly. Some of the later books haven’t captured her as well so I prefer the older books.

What a nice video topic! Even though some of the bird names have changed over the years, that edition of the little guidebook you showed at 4:05 is still the best one out there for using outdoors. Mine has survived since 1979, enduring canoe trips (with dunking and lots of rain), winter camping for days at a time, saltwater beach camping and canoeing, and hiking from Mexico to Canada over many months. The newer editions and other guidebooks fall apart or pages stick together the first time they get wet. Every time I've seen a new bird for the first time, I've noted the place and date in that little guidebook. Enjoy your birds in real life and in your reading!

Hi Mitzi, I just read The Keeper of the Bees and loved it so much, by Gene Stratton-Porter, and now I am starting on Lighthouse by Eugenia Price because I want to read the trilogy and this is the first. I am also reading from More Cozy Mysteries, short stories, one by Elizabeth Goudge called White something. I’m so sorry I can’t remember the second word. I had recently finished The White Witch a historical novel by Elizabeth Goudge and it was wonderful! And in September I want to read September by Rosamunde Pilcher. I think you should read The Little Princess for your classic. I know the old movie was good starring Shirley Temple. I want to read A Month in the Country too. I recently ordered Vilette and Agnes Gray by the Brontes. So many books, so little time. Ha.❤❤❤

What a fun subject for a video! One I thought of was one of my favorites as a kid- The Birds’ Christmas Carol.

Birding is the hobby I love to do besides reading. I belong to a birding club in my area. There's just something about being out in nature listening to bird songs that is so relaxing and peaceful to me.

I wish I could chat and have a cup of coffee with you in your garden watching the birds ❣️🐦❣️ Great topic this video!!

Those all sound interesting. I had no idea Huxley wrote humor too.

Oh, wow! I had the Crows of Pearblossom. I didn't know it the other day. Didn't remember the cover at all, but Mrs. Crow? I REMEMBER that one. I have quite a few books with a bird on the cover or in the title. I even have Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird! LOL And you reminded me of a Dustbowl book I started a long time ago. I was going to call it When the Bluebird Sings. Now I need to go check that out!

My neighbor absolutely loves The Nightingale and I’ve been afraid to pick it up because I’m afraid it will make me too sad 😭 but I’ve heard good things 💗

The Fannie Flagg book sounds like something I would enjoy 🫶🏽

Those are lovely books! Im adding some to my tbr wish list. Matt Sewell is an author you will like who has written and illustrated many beautiful bird books. I have his book Penguins Other Sea Birds. I never knew there were do many different kinds of penguins!

I enjoyed The Birds by Daphne DuMaurier. It's a little violent but an interesting story!!

Yes, A Redbird Christmas is my favorite fiction book and I've never seen that edition!! I need to find one of those for my collection!! Awesome video!!

Mitzi, I have a copy of The Shoe Bird by Eudora Welty. It’s a cute story and is the only children’s book she ever wrote. At estate sales, keep your eye out for Menaboni’s Birds by Athos and Sara Menaboni. He was a mid 20th century bird watcher and artist living and working in Atlanta. Their book is beautiful. Also, in the 60’s, some of his paintings were reproduced on a set of plates by Syracuse China. They were sold in sets of 4 as a charity fundraiser. In your area you might find them at antique malls, estate sales or consignment shops.

Well now I want to go to estate sales! 😊 the coffee table books are just beautiful. Loved your five book Friday selections too. Have a great weekend💕🕊🦜🦉

Nightingale was everything you said and MORE! I enjoyed it so much even with the sadness. Just a GREAT book! I will re-read I KNOW! I never tire of WW2 bks. either. A RED BIRD CHRISTMAS is another fave of mine. I bought it Christmas time many yrs. ago. Try to read it every Christmas. WONDERFUL!! I had read To Kill A Mockingbird long time ago. Like you, (funny) wanted a nice copy of my own and bought one! Bought the DVD also. This was fun, thanks!

For a long time The Nightingale was my favorite book. I'm so glad you read it. After watching this video I think it would be fun to re-read To Kill a Mockingbird and A Redbird Christmas.

Love your 5 book Friday's, I'm currently reading the 2nd book in the Maisie Dobbs series, Birds of a feather ❤. This one is set in spring 1930. Author is Jacqueline Winspear.

I love birds too!! And since last year I started bird watching. I just finished reading The Crows of Pearblossom on the Internet Archive thanks to your recommendation, it was wonderful! loved the humour 😁 I recommend Stephen Moss books on birds 😉 Thanks for another wonderful 5 Book Friday! ❤

Such a fun 5 book Friday 🦜🦉🐤! I read a middle grade book called Blue Birds by Caroline Star Rose that I enjoyed, and I have had Thornbirds on my tbr for quite sometime!

I had to do To kill a mockingbird for school here in Malaysia and loved it! Also watched the film with Gregory Peck, in this part of the world before our exams, they'd show the films on the books we had to study on national tv. Really good memories 😊. Love the bird books 👍.

Hi Mitzi! I have The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady and a Peterson First Guides of birds, which was published in 1986. It's been a while since I read To Kill a Mockingbird. 🙂

You might like The Backyard Bird Chronicles by Amy Tan. She wrote and illustrated this book about the birds in her backyard in California. Lovely pictures in it.

To kill a Mockingbird is an all time fav of mine! That edition is gorgeous ❤❤ If you enjoy Kristin Hannah you would probably enjoy the Women by her its about the Vietnam War it was a great page turner!

❤📚🐦❤

I have not read To Kill a Mockingbird since I was a young adult. I really need to re-read it! I am one of those who is a little burnt out on WW2 fiction, but I will still read it. Just sparingly!

Hi Mitzi! lovin' 5 Book Friday! hope it continues.... have a great weekend 😊

Oh Mitzi no wonder you were so excited!!! I too read Fifteen and fell in LOVE with it!! I am so excited my library has All the Gladys Tabor!! I haven't read Cherry Ames in decades! They were on the bookshelf at my Grandma...

I read my sisters Cherry Ames when I was younger. My library had a whole set donated to them and after a couple years they decided they didn't want them any more. I bought the whole set for 10 dollars.

As far as Edith Wharton goes I have only read House of Mirth and I really enjoyed it - however it's sad.. so I would only recommend that if you're in the mood for that. Personally A Month in The Country just sounds lovely - I think I would choose that for myself.

Is voxer an app or can I get to via utube? Want to join but can’t figure out how

I’ve read and loved Gladys Taber for years! Her books are hard to find. I always look for her books anytime I’m at a used bookstore.

Your enthusiasm is contagious 😅😅 You are definitely giving me a whole new outlook on books 📚!!! I also love older dishes, I even have a few blue and white plates hanging on my wall. Happy reading and organizing your new books on your shelves ❣️

Mitzi, thank you for sharing such a wonderful book haul with their stories behind each book. 🙂📚

These books are beautiful! I keep finding myself drawn to the older books like this because of you! I end up asking myself “I wonder if Mitzi has this?” 😂

SQUEEEEEEE!!! I love it so much! A few familiar ones here. :D

I found a movie cover edition of Christy by Catherine Marshall and In Tune With Wedding Bells by Grace Livingston Hill both for 98 cents in the used book section of my local Bible bookstore😎📚

I had no idea Gladys Taber did fiction! I have several of her Stillmeadow books - I love them!! What a great haul!!

Where’s link to Drew’s book club? Email you?🤔☺️

Wow, such an awesome haul! I don't think I have heard of Cherry Ames but I like the looks of them! Love when you run across awesome finds like that! I love thrift stores!

That hasn’t changed! I grew up in the 90s and Judy Blume and Beverly cleary were 2 of my favorites! I just bought a set of all the Ramona books on audio!!

I vote for a dish tour :)

Mitzi, I just told a friend yesterday that I will not walk into a department store but I will shop in a thrift store all day long. I agree, that I feel like I am doing a bit to help the earth and you find the best things, unique things, not just something that is the same and going to fall apart tomorrow. I also love dishes, my Dan says I have a dishorder... I knew you were good people. 💖💖💖

Oh my goodness... that thud you just heard was me literally falling out of my chair hearing my name mentioned by one of my favorite booktubers. I am so touched that you mentioned me and my channel. I also love that you have found my gal Gladys. I started the sampler and have read it bit by bit per season it and it has been just pure joy. I just love Elizabeth too.. thank you all so much, my cottagecore little heart is just doing cartwheels. 🤎🤎🧡🧡💛💛🌻🌻🌻🌻

Oh mitzi please please cover those beautiful vintage dush jackets with clear plastic to preserve them,they are simply stunning❤

OMG!! I am 81 years old and read Beany Malone when I was a young teen! I have never heard anyone talk about that book on UA-cam until today!! I am sure I read the whole series because I loved it! Great haul!’

What a fantastic haul! I adore those two Beverly Cleary books! What fantastic covers! I read them when I was a teenager too. I love Judy Blume too! The Fudge books are my favorite.

Mitzi, you would make even …” reading the phone book “ exciting!!🤪😃🥰

Such a fun Video! Thank you so much
