Miranda thanks so much for taking me back to Hampstead. The front of the train station I remember well and those wonderful book stores. Definitely book reading weather here today. It's rained all night which is a blessing and is still drizzling now. I'm reading The Birdman's Wife by Melissa Ashley. Historical fiction, it's the story of Elizabeth Gould, wife of John Gould the famous ornithologist. Would highly recommend.
There's a particular charm to Hampstead tube isn't there? I used to use it everyday and still miss it a little! The Birdman's Wife sounds excellent - I'll add it to my list! xxx
Love the vlog style video! You are so lucky to have so many bookshops near you. I have to drive about 20 minutes to get to one. I find it shameful......anyhoo, YAY! I am so excited that you got a Susan Branch book! I love her too. I believe she has a brand new blog post today as well. Her blog just makes me smile......Have a lovely weekend!
Thank you! I am very lucky having so many bookshops near me. Yes, it was a really fun coincidence to spot a Susan Branch book I didn't have, after talking about them with you! I'll have to check out her blog. Enjoy your weekend too xxx
I really am enjoying all of your VLOG's. I take notes of things I may be interested in and then go research them. I too am fascinated with literature of the WWII era, I am reading one now titled "My Name is Eva" and I am really enjoying it. Susan Branch is also a favorite of mine and I am anxiously awaiting the release of her next book. Thank you Miranda for bringing sunshine to my day with your positive attitude and insight.
Loved this vlog! Enjoyed the snapshots of all the lovely bookshops and the cake shop you visited:) Daunt Books is definitely on my bucket list of places to visit! Miss Austen sounds amazing, that Waterstones edition is beautiful. I'm currently awaiting two books in the mail which I'm very excited to read. The Woman in the Mirror by Rebecca James, which is gothic novel set in Cornwall that's been compared to Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier and The Turn of the Screw by Henry James, and The Mystery of Three Quarters by Sophie Hannah which is a brand new Hercule Poirot novel.
Thank you so much! I'm very glad you enjoyed this vlog. I've read The Turn of the Screw, but not the others you mention. The Rebecca comparison definitely intrigues me, and I've been meaning to try Hannah's Poirot books for a while, so will have to add those to my list. Thank for the recommendations! xxx
I've only managed to find one book by Dorothy Canfield, A Twig is Bent, and enjoyed it so am searching for more. Pine sounds excellent...also have a passion for the Scottish Highlands! The Lost Pianos of Siberia sounds like my wheelhouse as well. What a lovely channel discovery! Feel like I've found treasures. Thank you for a beautiful vlog. 😊
I preordered Miss Austen from Book Depository (as it’s not available in Canada yet) and it’s currently on its way to me now. Yay! I so enjoyed following along with your lovely book shop. ❤️
Would you do a video on your favorites of these “Austen spinoff” books? I’ve been rereading Austen and would love some extra reads to go along with it!
To be honest I don't generally read that many spin-offs as I often don't think they're that great, but having said so, I do realise there are probably enough JA spin-offs I've read to make a video, so I'll definitely try to do one sometime soon!
Lovely books! I just ordered my first Persephone (I’m in California) as a birthday gift for my mother (One Woman’s Year). I’d love a video on your book wishlist and titles you’re looking forward to.
Always enjoy Miranda's vlogs and videos. Excellent recommendations especially books.
Thank you very much Hilary! xxx
Your mentioning of Susan Branch brought a smile to my face. I find her books utterly charming and follow her blog.
her books and blog are completely charming, I agree!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so glad you enjoy my videos. I'll have to look up 'My Name is Eva' - that sounds interesting! xxx

Rebecca comparison? Sold! So glad you mentioned this.
@@maslina4567 That sold it for me as well! lol

Thank you so much for your lovely comment! I was so pleased with my book purchases and really can't wait to read them all! xxx

Oh wonderful! I'm really looking forward to reading this one!! Hope you enjoy it too xxx
Another lovely vlog!
yay! thank you!

I too love going to Daunt books when I am in London. However, I don’t think it’s possible to confine yourself to a single purchase!
Only when you've already spent most of your book allowance in Waterstones, haha! xxx
This was lovely. Is it possible to have too many editions of Jane Austen's novels? I don't think so!
I so agree!! :D
At 1:59 I want to read this book (the one, Sokcho)
Lovely books! I just ordered my first Persephone (I’m in California) as a birthday gift for my mother (One Woman’s Year). I’d love a video on your book wishlist and titles you’re looking forward to.
Oh that is such a lovely gift for your Mum! I hope she enjoys her introduction to Persephone Books! Your video request is noted xxx
