Please know just how much your videos mean to me, Happy New Year to you and Donna too…..now back to “Gossip from Thrush Green” x
Thank you so much for your encouraging words, Joy! I'm sorry you have Covid and hope you feel much better very soon. I remember the exhaustion after it - take care of yourself! xxx
Dear Miranda, I wish you and your mother a very happy and healthy New Year! I am looking forward to your announcement to publish more videos since I'm very excited every time a new video by you pops up in my you tube! Thank you so much for all of your lovely and incredibly inspiring work!! For Christmas I got the classic clothbound Penguin books of Jane Austen. I love to look at them all the time, they are so beautiful. Over the holidays I read Crumleys "Season of Winter" and "Winter in the air and other stories" by Sylvia Townsend Warner, which I really liked. Since I know your channel I try to read more seasonal and I'm really intrigued by it! Have a lovely day! Inga
What a lovely surprise! Two videos a week🎉🎉😊! Thank you Miranda , I’m really looking forward to watching the new contents you are preparing for us… very interesting book choices today, as usual! Such a good new year start .
Such wonderful news regarding your channel!!! 💃🏻I really enjoy all your content and look forward to every one of your videos! I especially love the seasonal aspect! 🌷☀️🍁❄️ Everything you do to put together a video for us is so greatly appreciated. Thank you so much, Miranda. They’re definitely a bright spot in my day. 🥰
What a wonderful way to start 2023!!Great news Miranda!Glad you and Donna had a relaxing break...so deserved!I'm sure your announcement of your channel aspirations has put a beaming smile on all of our faces! Wishing you both the very best for 2023!xx
I am so excited! I was worried the changes would be less videos so I am delighted to hear that there will be more including some lifestyle vlogs too. I can only imagine how much work it is as it is obvious that you put a lot of effort into your vlogs and please don't think that goes unnoticed as it really does show. I look forward to seeing more of your beautiful surroundings.
Thank you so much for your very kind and encouraging words, Sue! I really appreciate your lovely comment, and I'm looking forward to sharing more content in 2023! ❤️
Hello Miranda Happy New Year . . tfs you wonderful gifts and books you read over the holidays . . looking forward to you posting twice a week and sharing some yummy recipes 😋 . . have a wonderful weekend take care ❤️🙋♀️🌺🥰
Two videos a week, yeah! I have fallen in love with Miss Marple after reading 4:50 From Paddington for the book club. I am also hooked on reading Georgette Heyer's mysteries after your suggestion of The Christmas Party.
Happy New Year Miranda and Donna, wishing you both a wonderful year ahead. Could not be happier to hear we will be getting more content from you both. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous books and for all your inspiring videos. Love to you both x
More reading vlogs would be great! It's wonderful to get an all-around sense of the reading experience to see some lovely footage alongside reflections on different books. You make a good point about seasonal reading and how what we read is impacted by the environment around us. I know what a challenge it is to film such vlogs but it also allows space for some fun creativity. I had a look at that edition of The Story of Art when I was in a Waterstones and it is so beautiful! What a wonderful group of gifts! I was given the Ottolenghi Extra Good Things for Christmas and there are so many tasty looking things inside. Great to hear your thoughts on the Marple book. Happy New Year, Miranda! Looking forward to more of your thoughts on books this year. 📚
Thanks so much, Eric! They are harder to film but more creative - you’re right! I’m looking forward to doing more. Glad you got the Ottolenghi too - it looks fab! Xxx
My mom and I will love the twice a week videos. You have really opened up the genre of nature writing and seasonal reading and we look forward to everything you share. My mom was a librarian and I am a teacher and we enjoy sharing our love for books with each of your videos.
Happy New Year! I’m so excited that you’re going to be posting twice a week and adding some different types of videos. Your videos are so fun to watch and always warm my heart. Your reading recommendations are always lovely too. You and your mom remind me so much of my mom and I. I can’t wait to learn more about life in Yorkshire. Thank you for sharing your corner of the world with us and all the great book content.
I will watch and hear anything you choose to share with us. For me you're a very interesting person, I'm learning so much from you! Have a great and exciting year, lovely Miranda! And your wonderful mom too. Lots of love
I love the upcoming ideas you have for you channel! I too enjoy seasonal living - which is one of the reasons I enjoy your channel so much. More of that kind of content sounds delightful for the new year and I wish you well as you begin to adapt your content in this new way moving forward. Excited to see what you share, as always!
Happy new year Miranda and Donna, so inspiring to start this Sunday evening with a double up video with you. Very excited for the new content especially the lifestyle, but hey - everything is nice. Have a wonderful week :)
Happy New Year! What wonderful news that we are going to get more videos and more content! I feel like you just gave us a lovely present we get to enjoy throughout the year. Cheers!! ❤
Happy New Year! More Miranda - such great news! Will very much look forward to the usual brilliant book recommendations and spending more time along with you and Donna. Best of luck with all your planning. All your bookish presents and book buying and reading over Christmas look very appealing, I might have to treat myself to the Wordsworths book, the illustrations look gorgeous. My favourite festive reading was the recent edition of John Julius Norwich's An English Christmas, which I picked up in Mr B's Emporium in Bath. Wishing you all the best and exciting times ahead in 2023.
Just found time to watch this today and really enjoyed seeing all the books you received and have read over Christmas. Especially love the look of An American in Provence and the one about the Wordsworths. I am glad to hear your glowing review of Darling, I’m about to start it and I always feel a bit unsure about updates of my favourite books but this is very reassuring! And Georgette Heyer is always good! I love those paperback editions, such beautiful covers. Your plans for your channel sound so fun, I am really looking forward to them. Your videos always look so polished and beautiful, as a viewer I think you do an amazing job on the technical side, and they are always so fun, interesting and inspirational. Thank you for adding so much joy to my life with them!
Happy New Year Miranda and Donna. Looking forward to seeing all the changes you have planned for your channel. I enjoy and look forward to all your videos. 🐨🇦🇺

Happy New Year! I'm so excited for the changes on your UA-cam channel especially the lifestyle vlogs. I absolutely love the edits on your vlogs. It reminds me of UA-cam circa 2012 :) when content was made for fun! Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the CBC discussions 🥰
Happy new year Miranda & Donna! I’m so excited about the changes to your channel, I absolutely love your bookish podcasts and your lifestyle vlogs, so to have them to look forward to twice a week will be a wonderful bonus…..thank you. We actually based our week’s holiday in Yorkshire last year on information found in your vlogs! We visited Harlow Carr gardens (where I had my first Fat Rascal)…….Fountains Abbey & Studley Water gardens (wonderful)……Ripon Cathedral & The Little Ripon Bookshop……..Grassington & the Stripey Badger Bookshop…….and finally Malton! Didn’t quite make it to Castle Howard, but it is top of the Itinerary for this year’s Yorkshire holiday! The M&S shampoo that you recommended suits my hair beautifully & is a regular purchase, and Donna’s recipes for Swiss Roll & her Everyday Bread are now family favourites……so you see we have much to thank you for! Bless you both for giving us so many happy moments. Xx
Thank you very much, Angela! I'm so glad you had such a lovely holiday in Yorkshire discovering so many of my favourite places. I hope you get to Castle Howard next time! Wishing you all the very best for 2023 ❤️
Looking forward to your new approach! Just wanted to mention that I baked the shortbread you presented (by Mary Berry) last Christmas for the second time and it proved again to be a great success with everybody. Happy new year, Miranda!
Happy New Year. Thank you for sharing the wonderful variety of books you obtained. I had previously read Shady Hollow by Juneau Black, for for Christmas I received the next two books entitled Cold Clay and Mirror Lake. The stories are about a small town with murder mysteries involving the animals who inhabit the town (no humans here)!
How funny! I was looking online at Blackwells trying to decide if I should purchase the British Larder whilst listening to this video. On you come talking about the book! Thanks for answering a few questions regarding the title. Looking forward to two weekly vlogs!
Thank you for such good news to start the year, more lifestyle content; can’t wait! (It could be expensive 🤫🥴) One of the books I received was the little library book of parties which has brought as much joy as the others in the series. Happy New Year to Donna and your self, so looking forward to seeing more of you xxx
Loved your new ideas for the channel. I thought your Christmas videos were very well done so I'm sure you will catch on quickly to new ways of shooting and editing.
HAPPY NEW YEAR to You Miranda and Donna… I love all the Beautiful Books You Received for Christmas… For the first time EVER!!! I got an Agatha Christie Book from The Folio Society “SPARKLING CYANIDE” I read it in 2 days which is really fast for me.. Three years ago I never heard of The Folio Society (thank you so much 🥰) Miranda one more thing I’m Very prepared for this month’s Comfort Read☺️🥰🥰… I Got that book too and “Sad Cypress” (those two came from Amazon 🤷🏾♀️)
How lovely, Kiki! Sparkling Cyanide is such a good one, and that Folio edition is beautiful! I'm looking forward to the CBC discussion video this month. Happy New Year! ❤️
Happy new year to you Miranda and your lovely mum! You have given me lots of ideas for my book wish list, and there quite a few that were new to me! Thanks so much for sharing, and I look forward to seeing more of your lovely videos.
Happy New Year. 🎊 I’m very excited about your channel changes. Lifestyle vlogs go nicely with my New Years motto …make each day special. As always, lovely books and always one or two to anticipate reading. Thank you. 🌸
Happy new year to you and all!! So excited to hear about more videos! Always love to watch and they mean so much to me! Love the Wordsworth’s book and I’m definitely getting that one!! Looking forward to see more of your area and the videos! Have a lovely week! 🥰
Happy new year! So happy to see you again. You have got loads of nice books for Christmas, when will you find the time to read?! Here I got a Scottish commonplaces book, I look forward to write in it. Have a good weekend.
Looking forward to your new videos! I read last year's comfort book club choice, Winter Solstice, right up to Christmas day which was perfect. I just finished 4:50 From Paddington, my first Agatha Christie novel ever, which I really enjoyed as well. I just started The Diamond Eye by Kate Quinn, loved The Rose Code so looking forward to this one. A good seasonal book is The Self Care Year by Alison Davies, I think you would like that one. I also just received The Nonesuch for my February read. Thank you for all of the great recommendations and happy baking!
I'm not gonna lie, I clicked on the play button with a bit of trepidation, dreading that you'd say you will stop making videos or something like that but no! It's absolutely great news!! More videos per week and more lifestyle vlogs! Love it. Can't wait. Happy new year to you and Donna xx
Happy new year Miranda and Donna! Did you get out to do any special things over Christmas? It sounds like you got in so much reading time. I will be looking forward to your vlogs in 2023. It is fun going along with you when you have outings. I love staying in tune with the seasons! Having a woodland cottage helps to do that. We come up to stay in it almost weekly. I just got a new book to bring along this weekend called The Wild Swans. I am loving it. I would love some woodland themed book ideas if you have them.
Ah, the Box of Delights has been a Christmas favorite of me and my children (now grown.) For many Christmases we also watched the BBC production. Magic!
Hi, Happy New Year. I'm new to your channel and love your choice of books and your creative interests. Looking forward to watching some more of your videos old & new, Thank You x
I am originally from Minnesota but now reside in the Southwest USA. I feel I really missed out on Maude Hart Lovelace during my childhood, and I am looking forward to explore those books - thank you! x
I love the vintage books. Just the look of them makes me happy. I am always glad to see you have a new video up, so I am excited for your plan for the new year.
Happy New Year Miranda to you and your Mum Donna. So looking forward to your UA-cam plans for 2023 . My two lovely sons paid attention to my wishlist and bought me books, The Red House Mystery by AA Milne and Between the Acts , Virginia Woolf's last book. My wonderful Father in Law bought me a book token so can't wait to spend it. January Comfort Book Club author was a huge favourite of my Mum, sadly I couldn't find any of her copies but bought a new copy. Looking forward to the discussion at the end of the month. Happy Reading and Cooking in 2023.
Hello Miranda and Happy Nee Year! I’m looking forward to two vlogs a week - such riches! Luke many of your Commenters, I, too, like the seasonal readings since here in Northern California we really don’t get them. Kinds regards, Lynn H.
Happy New Year Miranda and what exciting changes you are hoping to bring to your lovely channel here. I am looking forward very much to a magazine style video and hope it will be fun for you to compile for us to enjoy. I can't thank you enough for the recommendation and link to The Box of Delights - it is a favourite of my son Toby and I and we look forward to watching the BBC production as well as reading the book every Christmas. We love all the characters: some getting scrobbled, some drinking possets and others eating green cheese! I also received the Marple short story collection and am currently listening to the Radio Three production of three of the stories from this book. Take care and happy reading, Teresa ♥
I am relatively new to your channel (which is really surprising to me because you make a lot of content which I adore) but I am already really exited for the new video schedule and ideas for januaary (and who knows, perhaps longer). I love more seasonal content and also cookery and other living content. I am an avid reader so I always like your reading and book content but I am really pleasantly surprised because I actullay got some cookbook inspiration from this, who would have thought! Would love to try. I am going to watch the second half of the video tomorrow but already wanted to send this comment and wish you a very joyous 2023!
Miranda, Thanks for all your amazing videos, l look forward to your extra videos. You work so hard, l worry you might over do things. If it gets to much it’s ok to go back to once a week. Gratitude & appreciation to your wonderful mum. 💛🍰🍾🤗💐
Happy new year, dear Miranda and Donna 🍀 I am looking forward to your videos this year. Over Christmas, I have read and tremendously enjoyed Laura Wood 's A Snowfall of Silver, which I would not have discovered without your videos, the one where you read A Sky Painted Gold by Laura Wood... Besides this one, I enjoyed two mystery novels by Lucy Foley, The Hunting Party and The Paris Apartment. Also I gifted myself a new novel, The Circus Train, which I am about to start. Hopefully I'll get to read this month's Comfort book club book too, love Agatha Christie.
Thank you so much Miranda! I will really look forward to Thursdays and Sundays. I watch your videos to de-stress. All the very best to you and your mum for 2023 xx
Happy New Year, Miranda!! I'm so glad you had a lovely holiday break! I'm very much looking forward to your extra content. You always have the nicest videos. Thank you for sharing your haul and holiday reading. 😊 ❤️📚
I am so happy to see you. I'm glad you and your mum had a great Christmas. My husband and I had a very quiet one. I'm so excited to see what your new content will be in this new year . I enjoy your channel so much. I didn't get any new books for Christmas, we don't exchange gifts. But I did read Louise Pennys lastest. I love her mystery series. I just started my reread of this months bookclub choice, 4:50 from Paddington.(so good) I'm hoping to go for more quality books than quantity. Last year was not a great reading year. I read Miss Reads Christmas stories in December and fell in love all over again with her books which helped my year- end reading. Whew! 😊 Well, here's to another great year sharing the love of books and reading. My very best wishes to you and your mother. 📚🤗💕💕
Thank you very much for your kind words, Diane! My Mum read the latest Louise Penny over Christmas and enjoyed it too. We also watched some of the 'Three Pines' new TV series - I was surprised by how dark they are! Mum says there's a bit more of a cosy small town atmosphere in the books. Miss Read is always a good Christmas choice. Wishing you lots of good reads in 2023! xxx
Yay!! Hello and every best wish for 2023 Miranda & Donna and my fellow subscribers ❤ I’m a new subscriber and I absolutely love your videos, thank you so much 💐💐🥂🍾🥂🍾 love from Scotland 🏴🥃🥃🥃
Thank you, Miranda, and Happy New Year to you and Donna!🍾🥂One of the great books I read in the past few weeks was “The Lighted Window” by Peter Davidson. Thanks for recommending it a while ago😊. It’s an exquisite exploration of literature and art, with a touch of memoir which makes it … perfect. I’ll also be reading “The Last of Light” later on this year.
Happy New Year everyone! I hope you had a lovely break. In this video, I'm sharing changes to my channel going forward in 2023! I'm also sharing the books I got and read over Christmas. Please see the video description box for all relevant links. Miranda x

How funny! I was looking online at Blackwells trying to decide if I should purchase the British Larder whilst listening to this video. On you come talking about the book! Thanks for answering a few questions regarding the title. Looking forward to two weekly vlogs!
Thank you for such good news to start the year, more lifestyle content; can’t wait! (It could be expensive 🤫🥴) One of the books I received was the little library book of parties which has brought as much joy as the others in the series. Happy New Year to Donna and your self, so looking forward to seeing more of you xxx
So glad you’re back! Looking forward to your next vlog. Happy new year to you both 🎉
Looking forward to all the new content in the coming year! Love your channel!
Thank you ❤️
Miranda - happy new year to you and your mum. I treasure your channel - it's lovely.
Thank you so much ❤️
Loved your new ideas for the channel. I thought your Christmas videos were very well done so I'm sure you will catch on quickly to new ways of shooting and editing.
Been missing you. Never seen or heard of the books you are showing us. Maybe because from U.S. Happy New Year!
HAPPY NEW YEAR to You Miranda and Donna… I love all the Beautiful Books You Received for Christmas… For the first time EVER!!! I got an Agatha Christie Book from The Folio Society “SPARKLING CYANIDE” I read it in 2 days which is really fast for me.. Three years ago I never heard of The Folio Society (thank you so much 🥰) Miranda one more thing I’m Very prepared for this month’s Comfort Read☺️🥰🥰… I Got that book too and “Sad Cypress” (those two came from Amazon 🤷🏾♀️)
How lovely, Kiki! Sparkling Cyanide is such a good one, and that Folio edition is beautiful! I'm looking forward to the CBC discussion video this month. Happy New Year! ❤️
Happy new year to you Miranda and your lovely mum! You have given me lots of ideas for my book wish list, and there quite a few that were new to me! Thanks so much for sharing, and I look forward to seeing more of your lovely videos.
I’m so glad! Thank you xxx
So many great books that I"m adding to my TBR!🤗 I'm looking forward to your vlogs😍
Happy New Year. 🎊 I’m very excited about your channel changes. Lifestyle vlogs go nicely with my New Years motto …make each day special. As always, lovely books and always one or two to anticipate reading. Thank you. 🌸
That’s a lovely motto for the year ahead, Glenda! Thank you for your encouraging words ❤️
I luv the two videos per week idea, looking forward to it.😊
Happy new year to you and all!! So excited to hear about more videos! Always love to watch and they mean so much to me! Love the Wordsworth’s book and I’m definitely getting that one!! Looking forward to see more of your area and the videos!
Have a lovely week! 🥰
Happy new year! So happy to see you again. You have got loads of nice books for Christmas, when will you find the time to read?! Here I got a Scottish commonplaces book, I look forward to write in it. Have a good weekend.
Looking forward to your new videos! I read last year's comfort book club choice, Winter Solstice, right up to Christmas day which was perfect. I just finished 4:50 From Paddington, my first Agatha Christie novel ever, which I really enjoyed as well. I just started The Diamond Eye by Kate Quinn, loved The Rose Code so looking forward to this one. A good seasonal book is The Self Care Year by Alison Davies, I think you would like that one. I also just received The Nonesuch for my February read. Thank you for all of the great recommendations and happy baking!
Thank you very much, Anna! All your reading sounds fab! Wishing you the best for 2023 ❤️
I'm not gonna lie, I clicked on the play button with a bit of trepidation, dreading that you'd say you will stop making videos or something like that but no! It's absolutely great news!! More videos per week and more lifestyle vlogs! Love it. Can't wait. Happy new year to you and Donna xx
Thank you, Victoria!
This sounds exciting. ❤
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Wishing you all the best ! Bisous from Alsace 🥇🤗😘🎉🎉
You are my favourite UA-camr! So excited for even more videos from you!!😁
Thank you so much! ❤️
Happy new year Miranda and Donna! Did you get out to do any special things over Christmas? It sounds like you got in so much reading time. I will be looking forward to your vlogs in 2023. It is fun going along with you when you have outings.
I love staying in tune with the seasons! Having a woodland cottage helps to do that. We come up to stay in it almost weekly. I just got a new book to bring along this weekend called The Wild Swans. I am loving it. I would love some woodland themed book ideas if you have them.
Looking forward to any additional content. Truly love your channel. Happy New Year!
Thank you ❤️
Happy New Year to you and your mum! Wishing you the best of books 📚 for 2023 and everything else ;)
Thank you so much! ❤️
Yaaaaaaaay!!!! More Miranda content!!! Don't be nervous we love all of it!!! 🥂🥂🥂 So excited!!
Thank you very much, Jenny! ❤️
Ah, the Box of Delights has been a Christmas favorite of me and my children (now grown.) For many Christmases we also watched the BBC production. Magic!
Hi, Happy New Year. I'm new to your channel and love your choice of books and your creative interests. Looking forward to watching some more of your videos old & new, Thank You x
Thanks so much!
I am originally from Minnesota but now reside in the Southwest USA. I feel I really missed out on Maude Hart Lovelace during my childhood, and I am looking forward to explore those books - thank you! x
A Happy New Year to you and your Mam. From Ann and Tommy in Ireland.
I love the vintage books. Just the look of them makes me happy. I am always glad to see you have a new video up, so I am excited for your plan for the new year.
Yeah! More videos!!👏
Looking forward to the new style vlogs!
Happy New Year Miranda to you and your Mum Donna. So looking forward to your UA-cam plans for 2023 . My two lovely sons paid attention to my wishlist and bought me books, The Red House Mystery by AA Milne and Between the Acts , Virginia Woolf's last book. My wonderful Father in Law bought me a book token so can't wait to spend it. January Comfort Book Club author was a huge favourite of my Mum, sadly I couldn't find any of her copies but bought a new copy. Looking forward to the discussion at the end of the month. Happy Reading and Cooking in 2023.
Thank you very much, Mhairi! I'm glad you got such good books for Christmas - enjoy spending you book token too! 📚 ❤️
Hello Miranda and Happy Nee Year! I’m looking forward to two vlogs a week - such riches! Luke many of your Commenters, I, too, like the seasonal readings since here in Northern California we really don’t get them. Kinds regards, Lynn H.
Thanks so much, Lynn! It's great to spread the love for seasonal reading 😊
Happy New Year, Miranda and Donna. Your channel update is filled with good news and so many wonderful books💕
Thank you Sandy! xxx
Hurrah! Two videos is great! Cannot wait. You have surpassed chateau diaries for me.
Oh wow, thank you! xxx
great video
Happy New Year! I am so excited for your new venture!
Thank you very much! Happy New Year to you too! xxx
Thank you so much Miranda. So lovely to hear your news. I will look forward to all the new things.🏴
Happy New Year Miranda and what exciting changes you are hoping to bring to your lovely channel here. I am looking forward very much to a magazine style video and hope it will be fun for you to compile for us to enjoy. I can't thank you enough for the recommendation and link to The Box of Delights - it is a favourite of my son Toby and I and we look forward to watching the BBC production as well as reading the book every Christmas. We love all the characters: some getting scrobbled, some drinking possets and others eating green cheese! I also received the Marple short story collection and am currently listening to the Radio Three production of three of the stories from this book. Take care and happy reading, Teresa ♥
We’re dialling up the Cottagecore Content and I wish you all the best because it sounds like great fun!
This year begins with good news : two videos a week seems a treat for me ; thank you and happy new year.
Hello Miranda I am super excited about the changes to your channel. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much, Eileen! xxx
I am relatively new to your channel (which is really surprising to me because you make a lot of content which I adore) but I am already really exited for the new video schedule and ideas for januaary (and who knows, perhaps longer). I love more seasonal content and also cookery and other living content.
I am an avid reader so I always like your reading and book content but I am really pleasantly surprised because I actullay got some cookbook inspiration from this, who would have thought! Would love to try.
I am going to watch the second half of the video tomorrow but already wanted to send this comment and wish you a very joyous 2023!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you're enjoying my suggestions 😊
Hari tau hou 🎉 sounds like you'll be having a busy year.
Miranda, Thanks for all your amazing videos, l look forward to your extra videos. You work so hard, l worry you might over do things. If it gets to much it’s ok to go back to once a week. Gratitude & appreciation to your wonderful mum. 💛🍰🍾🤗💐
Happy new year, dear Miranda and Donna 🍀
I am looking forward to your videos this year. Over Christmas, I have read and tremendously enjoyed Laura Wood 's A Snowfall of Silver, which I would not have discovered without your videos, the one where you read A Sky Painted Gold by Laura Wood... Besides this one, I enjoyed two mystery novels by Lucy Foley, The Hunting Party and The Paris Apartment. Also I gifted myself a new novel, The Circus Train, which I am about to start. Hopefully I'll get to read this month's Comfort book club book too, love Agatha Christie.
Thank you very much! So glad you enjoyed A Snowfall of Silver ❄️
Thank you so much Miranda! I will really look forward to Thursdays and Sundays. I watch your videos to de-stress. All the very best to you and your mum for 2023 xx
I look forward to your new vlogs
Happy New Year! So happy you will be putting out 2 videos / week, including a vlog video! I love your vlogs! Well, I love all your content:)
Thank you very much! xxx
Happy New Year, Miranda!! I'm so glad you had a lovely holiday break! I'm very much looking forward to your extra content. You always have the nicest videos. Thank you for sharing your haul and holiday reading. 😊 ❤️📚
Thanks so much for your encouraging words, Elena! Wishing you a fabulous 2023! xxx
I am so happy to see you. I'm glad you and your mum had a great Christmas. My husband and I had a very quiet one. I'm so excited to see what your new content will be in this new year . I enjoy your channel so much. I didn't get any new books for Christmas, we don't exchange gifts. But I did read Louise Pennys lastest. I love her mystery series. I just started my reread of this months bookclub choice, 4:50 from Paddington.(so good) I'm hoping to go for more quality books than quantity. Last year was not a great reading year. I read Miss Reads Christmas stories in December and fell in love all over again with her books which helped my year- end reading. Whew! 😊 Well, here's to another great year sharing the love of books and reading. My very best wishes to you and your mother. 📚🤗💕💕
Thank you very much for your kind words, Diane! My Mum read the latest Louise Penny over Christmas and enjoyed it too. We also watched some of the 'Three Pines' new TV series - I was surprised by how dark they are! Mum says there's a bit more of a cosy small town atmosphere in the books. Miss Read is always a good Christmas choice. Wishing you lots of good reads in 2023! xxx
Yay!! Hello and every best wish for 2023 Miranda & Donna and my fellow subscribers ❤ I’m a new subscriber and I absolutely love your videos, thank you so much 💐💐🥂🍾🥂🍾 love from Scotland 🏴🥃🥃🥃
Thank you very much! So glad you’re enjoying my videos!
Thank you, Miranda, and Happy New Year to you and Donna!🍾🥂One of the great books I read in the past few weeks was “The Lighted Window” by Peter Davidson. Thanks for recommending it a while ago😊. It’s an exquisite exploration of literature and art, with a touch of memoir which makes it … perfect. I’ll also be reading “The Last of Light” later on this year.
So glad you enjoyed it, Emma! Xxx
