    Oh Miranda…this makes me so happy on a sad day for me. It’s my wonderful mother’s birthday and we lost her almost one year ago today. I am sad…but seeing you and your book guide cheers me some. You are an inspiration, dear Miranda.❤

    • @MirandaMills

      That’s so kind of you to say! I’m so very sorry for your loss, but glad if, in even a small way, this video helps today! 📚❤️

      I agree. Miranda, you always look so lovely sitting there with fresh flowers, something from Emma Bridgewater, and beautiful clothes and accessories. And then there's the books!

    A festive and informative presentation! Let the buying begin!
    I especially love when you recommend books that are(were) written for children but are enjoyed by all of us “old children“. They give one a feeling of nostalgia for the innocence and wonder of childhood.
    I live in Pennsylvania in the US and still reread the Little House on the Prairie series. Going back in time to feel the comfort you felt, in the place you felt the most at home in and the people you felt the most at home with can be as close as the book on your shelf! I appreciate all the time and effort it takes for you(and Mum) to make these videos. Such a joy!

    Dear Miranda, lovely to see you again! Thank you for these inspiring suggestions. As always I have found a lot not only to gift to others, but in fact to put on my wishlist myself! 🤩 A wonderful video! I wish you a lot of strenght for all your work and am really looking forward to hearing more about all of your upcoming projects. Also I wanted to thank you for your amazing content on seasons of story. It is incredible how much you upload there as a gift for us. I really enjoyed your reading from Mrs. Miniver's book for Guy Fawkes Night. Have a lovely week!💖

    I bought the beautiful special edition of Raising Hare after you spoke about it in a recent video.
    I’m so glad I did … like you I just loved it. Beautifully written, educational, emotional and you summed it up perfectly in this video.
    I can’t recommend it highly enough to anyone who may read this comment.
    A very special book indeed.

    Thank you for all these fantastic book recommendations.
    Your warm presenting has got me away from my anxiety, made me want to get back reading my books. Also lots I want to get in your recommendations as well as some for my mother who is an avid reader also. I think some of the poetry ones will be good for her as has dementia now and her attention span for reading isn’t as good these days and I know she loves poetry.
    I only discovered your channel today and I am now a subscriber.
    Thank you very, very much 🩷💫

    Have you ladies ever read any Louise Penny books? It’s along the lines of Miss Marple, except it’s Inspector Gamante. Her books are mostly set in a beautiful small town in Quebec with rich characters, lots of talk about food and books. Highly recommend! ❤

    Just stumbled upon your video. Thank you so much for the book recommendations, there are some gems in there for sure. How lovely to see the Children of Green Knowe book with the illustrations included. That would be a wonderful gift. I was lucky to find a vintage 1960's edition with the illustrations, when on holiday a couple of years ago in Lyme regis. There is a lovely secondhand bookshop there. ( I can't recall its name ) but it's a jumble of treasure inside. I just love the story of Green Knowe and it's a tradition of mine to watch the dvd at Christmas. :)

    Dear Miranda,
    Love the selections of poetry nature books.
    Will be picking up a few of these.
    Raising Hare is one I want to get.
    It has been an absolutely
    Terribly depressing week in
    The US this past week.
    I need the poetry and nature
    Books to lift my spirits.
    Thank you for the wonderful
    Suggestions.

    It’s very pleasing to see so many nature and conservation books: I’ve found ‘Corduroy’ so no doubt will enjoy that.

I may never have found him without you, Miranda and I thank you so much. All of the nature books are now on my wants lists as well. I hope anyone thinking of subscribing to Seasons of Story does do so, they won’t be disappointed.❤️
