    I'm a big fan of Scotland so thank you for sharing your beautiful country and some moments of your life with your beautiful dog ❤❤. She makes me laugh when you were talking about books, she was looking at you all the time! She's a sweetie . Looking forward for the next video😀.

    Hello Molly,
    Fabulous video thank you.
    I also read seasonally & just re read Wind in the Willows.
    My sister has just given me Mrs England to read & The Keeper of Stories, I love the swapping of books, I’ve just given her The Rose Code,Dear Mrs Bird & Yours Cheerfully.
    Two books you might enjoy for up coming seasons Autumn 🍂 & Winter 🥶 are September & Winter Solstice by Rosamund Pilcher.
    You got some lovely books 📚 there are 3 in the Jenny Colgan bookshop series & I read The Christmas Bookshop by her last December.
    Love all your content & would love for you to start a seasonal bookclub one book per season & review the books you’ve read.😊
    ❤📚

    Greetings from Toronto. I just found your channel, you are just such a lovely and authentic woman. I’m a seasonal book reader also, presently reading The Enchanted April by Elizabeth Von Arnim written in 1922. I have been reading century-old novels this past year which has been most wonderful. Looking forward to following your sweet channel. ❤️🇨🇦

      I read "The Enchanted April" years ago (and other books by Elizabeth von Arnim), it"s such a lovely book.
      There is also a movie, but unfortunately I haven't seen it yet.

    I love your videos. When I was a child living in the U.S., I had relatives in the UK who would send me Rupert books for Christmas. I'm talking 1950s here. I recently mentioned this to my daughter-in-law, and she found a used copy online and gave it to me as a present. I hadn't seen one in all that time.

    I thoroughly enjoyed your quiet Sunday(s)...Scotland is so beautiful, and I love to see the small towns as well as the woods and hills. My favorite parts are your quiet walks with the lovely Skye, so I was a little disappointed today's was cut short, but I understand...new electronics can be aggravating sometimes.
    I watched the vlog while I was making one of my favorite easy desserts: stewed apples (just peel & cut, put a little water in the saucepan with them, sprinkle liberally with cinnamon, cook over medium heat until soft...yum!).
    You got some wonderful books today! I love children's books as well, and when I worked at the library, came across some gorgeous and touching picture books that I loved so much, I bought (used). These three are by Helen Frost and photographer Rick Lieder: Step Gently Out, Among a Thousand Fireflies, and Sweep Up The Sun. These two are by April Pulley Sayre: Being Frog, and Best In Snow.
    Thanks for sharing your quiet life with us!❤

We have a shop here in my area called The Bookworm where we can always get lots of great books.. I love Skye too She is so precious.. We are vegan too because of our love of animals.. we have a sweet girl Lucy.. She is a rescue..

    Does anyone have recommendations for similar slow living/minimalism UA-camrs that are based in mild-to-cold and wet climates like Molly's wonderful Highland content?
    I love watching other minimalism/slow-living lifestyle UA-camrs but so many seem to live in places like Los Angeles, or generally hotter/tropical places. Their days spent on the beach and only needing few clothes BC it's too hot for layers... doesn't feel accessible to me living in perpetually rainy and grey North West England.
    Molly's stuff is perfect for me as actually-practical aspiration, and I'd love to know if there's more stuff like this.

    Really enjoyed this video, I love watching you cook and see what you are reading. I think you will love The Secret Garden, it was my favourite book when I was a child and I have read it in adulthood as the charm never goes. I still like reading children's books as well - would recommend the What Katy Did books, Malory Towers and Alison Uttley. Happy reading!

I was laughing at how adorable Sky was as she watched you show us all the beautiful books... She's probably wondering with whom-you-speak! 😊❤

    Hi Molly, I enjoy your content sofar, my Grandpa was Scottish and Pop was English and I live in Australia. They both immigrated from the UK in the 1920s when they were around 17 years old on their own, so brave. It's beautiful seeing the countryside and towns etc. Maybe one day I may be able to make a trip over. Thanks for always being so encouraging. Hugs to you and Syke!

    ♥ your disjointed vlogs, Molly!
    I always buy second hand and love 1950s era reading and I seem to rebound between adventure thrillers from John Buchan, Nevil Shute, Hammond Innes and children's books from Arthur Ransom, WE Johns, Malcolm Saville and Enid Blyton.
    Some of the most magical finds have been books I read as a child from pretty much unknown authors who published very few books.
    Otherwise I tend to read books about people's lives eg Lisa St. Aubin De Teran

    Love your content, thank you so much for all your hard work producing these films. Such is your infectious enthusiasm for reading Molly, I began reading a story book the other day, incredible, as I have not read a book for pleasure for, well I don’t know how long! With every film you make you seem to be more at ease in front of the camera, this is so wonderful to see, being your relaxed natural self, it can not be too easy in the beginning I’d imagine, being in front of a camera. This trait of yours inspires me to try always to be genuine, even in the most awkward of situations, when I might (sometimes unknowingly) just try to be what I think others might expect me to be 😄
