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.❤
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!💖
Thank you so much, Inga, for your lovely comments! I’m so pleased you enjoy the content here and on Seasons of Story. Thank you so much too for your very generous support of my channel. I so appreciate your kindness! ❤️📚❤️
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 🩷💫
The Christmas season officially begins with your great Christmas Gift Guides! 🎁🎄🎉 My wish list grew significantly today and I'm very very excited to get the new Nigel Slater book! Thank you for the inspiration, Miranda!
Thanks so much, Natalia, for your very kind words and support of my channel! I so appreciate your generosity and am very happy you enjoyed the video! 📚❤️🎄
There are some great recommendations here. This year everyone on my list is getting a book for Christmas, so I needed some inspiration and of course some books to put on my own Christmas wishlist!
I just absolutely love your channel. So excited when I see a new post. You inspired lots of the activities for my trip to the UK at the end of October. We went to Sissinghurst, Charleston and even the pub that you went to nearby - The Ram Inn. I am definitely going to use some of these book recommendations for Christmas gifts this year. Thank you.
Miranda Miranda, thank you so much for this video of ideas. I have got ideas for family and friends and rather a lot for me! Your videos are so comforting and I enjoyed every minute of this one so thank you for putting it together. Wishing you and Donna a happy and beautiful week x
Love the channel! Just ordered some books on your recommendations! You and your sweet mom are so fun to watch. I find it very soothing and love ideas for new reads! 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! ❤
There is a new Mary Berry book?? How absolutely lovely - thank you for alerting us, dear Miranda! 🤩 Looking forward to more Christmassy content on your channel! 💚❤🤍
Always a delight to see Miranda appear in your feed!! Thank you for the recommendations. I just finished another 2 books that were recommended by you. The Vanderbeekers of 141st. Perfect Gift for children this Christmas. Also, Barchester Towers, what an eye opener this book was! I will admit I struggled with the Victorian period writing, but you definitely brought me out of my comfort zone!! lol. Have a great week Miranda!
Wonderful selection Miranda. Raising Hare is my non-fiction book of the year; stunning. Thank you for the recommendation in a previous video. The Christmas season starts now! ❤🎄
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. :)
The Christmas Season officially starts with Miranda’s Book Gift Guide❄️🎄watching the Christmas gift guide has become a cherished ritual: I always find plenty of fabulous recommendations and I truly feel the joyful atmosphere of this time of the year🌟💫 Thank you Miranda for this delightful video!💕
Thank you so much Miranda. Such a lovely inspirational list of titles. I’m going to York on Friday and intend to start off with a visit to Betty’s as a treat to plan my day and finalise my book shopping gift list! Then it will be a trip to as many of the York bookshops as I can fit in! I’m very excited!
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. Mary
Thank you Miranda, I had pen and paper ready for the recommendations and were drawn to two ‘The children of Green Knowe’ and ‘women pioneers of the arts and crafts movement’. So thank you for the great help. Also it was so lovely to feel the warmth of Christmas. Thank you. 🤗
I’ve been binging your channel over the past couple of days because I haven’t been feeling very well, and I’ve enjoyed your videos so much! Thanks for the recommendations, and your jumper is such a fabulous colour 😊
Based on your recommendations I have bought the Anne of Green Gables books which I read as a young child. I seem to remember there was a television series too. It’s very pleasing to see so many nature and conservation books: I’ve found ‘Corduroy’ so no doubt will enjoy that. Thank you for the great suggestions!
Such a lovely Sunday treat, I like how this video is almost a best of books of the year, loved all the recommendations, I've added quite a few titles to my wishlist! Could you please let me know what lipstick you are wearing? It is a beautiful color and suits you so well!
Hello Miranda I always look forward to your Christmas guide . . lots of great books 📚 I made my list to take to the book store 😁 have a wonderful Sunday take care 🎄🎅🦌⛄️🐿♥️🙋♀️
A fabulous selection, thank you. I've actually bought one of the titles already for a friend (you mentioned it in an earlier podcast) and I've added the same title to my own wish list. There's many more that I'd like for myself, especially the gorgeous edition of 'Anne' and the Angela Harding (already on my wish list as I get her newsletter).
Nigel Slater’s newest book is one I will be picking up for myself this week. I’ve begun my annual reread of The Christmas Chronicles, which you introduced to me three years ago. 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.❤️
I’m so happy to read that, Sandy! Christmas by Nigel Slater is such a wonderful book! I’m so glad you enjoy it every year too! Thank you too for your very kind words ❤️📚🎄🙏
Miranda, as always you inspire me to read! I’m going broke buying all these Christmas books 😂 I’m currently reading “Who Killed the Curate?” And just finished Agatha Christie’s “The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding” both fantastic and lighthearted reads. Maybe one day you can share that bookcase behind you? I would love to see what books you have on those shelves! Thank you ❤
A wonderful selection! Thank you, Miranda! Recently, I was watching an older video where you suggested books about knitting and yarn stores in London. What a delight ! ❤
Hi Miranda great video. I enjoyed your book recommendations as always. Keep them coming. Unfortunately some I cannot get here in Canada but, the ones I can I do. Looking forward to you videos leading up to Christmas. Bye MaryAnn
i had such hope for but didn't like the Thurs Murder Club actually DNF ..now i'm interested to try We Solve Murders Miranda, your channel is my favorite and i wish i could afford your Seasons of Story.. i would LOVE that for a Christmas gift! I'll have to leave some hints 😊
The other books in Richard Osman series are much better than the first one so it might be worth giving them a go. I feel the first one was just setting up the future stories.
I just found your channel thank you! I purchased a large bundle of books based on your recommendation to ship to the USA from Blackwells. I hope you are getting credit for these sales? Every time I hit the link it would open a new window at their site so I am assuming you are not which is sad. Please let me know. Hoping to get them in time for Christmas Gifts!
Miranda has all the warmth and beauty of Christmas within her, and her recommendations are welcome and appreciated 🥰
That’s very kind! Thank you so much! 🙏
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.❤
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! 📚❤️
5 seconds in and I‘m just smitten by how festive you and your surroundings (the mug! the poinsetta!) look. That pin is just gorgeous! 🎄
Thank you! Very happy you enjoyed it, Monica! ❤️

Hello Miranda, I'm scared/excited to watch this as I typically end up ordering more books than I should after watching your videos! =)
Oooh I am excited to snuggle down in bed and watch this after a long day! Thank you Miranda!
Yay! Hope you enjoy watching! 📚🎄
