A Catch Up and Some Brilliant Summer Reads

Hello again! I'm finally back to Youtube after a hectic summer in which I moved from London to the depths of Yorkshire. I can't wait to share more of my life in the country with you all, as well as catch you up on all the brilliant books I've been reading and buying. In this video, I'm sharing some of the books I read over the past few months that capture the hot days of summer so well.

I'm so happy to see you back on YouTube. I saved this video to watch when there would be no interruptions as I knew I was in for a treat. I wasn't wrong. You give such intelligent and insightful reviews and articulate the positives and negatives with such clarity. I look forward to many more videos. Take care ❤️

The best English booktuber. Great books.

Tess was my first Hardy (and only so far) and I loved it. It was like reading a gorgeous, poetic, light-filled painting! So glad you're in Yorkshire now!

[muhlenstedt]

I am so happy you are back and that you and your mom are living in a happier place.The video about the summer in Yorkshire is so beautiful and relaxing!All the best dor your future there.

[leahhendo]

Wonderful to have you back. Although my book wish list always gets MUCH longer after watching your book reviews! ☺️ Your new home and surroundings look blissful xx

'The past is another just so is the country another world ! So love to think of you there in beautiful Yorkshire with your beloved Mum. missing your mums voice on tea reads . Feel exactly the same about Atonement. Hope is precious and we need to nurture it.

I’m so glad you’re back! I look forward to each and everyone of your posts. You are a breath of fresh air to my day. One of my summer favorites was the Book of Stillmeadow by Gladys Taber. Greatly anticipating your next post.

[joannabailey]

It’s wonderful to have you back. You look so relaxed and happy 😊 your new home clearly agrees with you. I too loved One Fine Day, and I think The Greengage Summer, will certainly have to go on a list. So looking forward to your autumn suggestions. Welcome back 🥰

We moved from the City of San Francisco CA to the Bluegrass of Kentucky just in May. We also couldn't house hunt in person etc, so we had to move without any house to move into, and lived with the family until we found a place in a very competitive house market. We found a delightful 130-year-old place after only two days of looking in person. I desperately need bookshelves! I wonder what guidelines you use when having one maid. We might need to do such. I'm so happy for you and your mum, to be living in Yorkshire! One of my dear friends from my 3 years in Scotland, was from there, and she has the most lovely accent! The way she'd say that I was so "cuddly" in her native accent, was enchanting! I hope you are both very happy there.

Very timely these suggestions as we move into Spring/Summer here.
Lovely to see you back here on you tube and I'll look forward to seeing more of gorgeous North Yorkshire too xx

[angelam]

One Fine Day sounds so wonderful. I am new to your channel and I am loving your videos- your book suggestions are fabulous! Also, I adore the wallpaper design behind you 💕

A great selection of summer reads Miranda, many of which I have read and enjoyed myself although you have inspired me to want to re-read some of them. This Summer I enjoyed re-reading ‘Rebecca’ by Daphne Du Maurier and ‘The Glovemaker’ by Ann Weisgarber. I am definitely going to put a couple of those I haven’t read from your selection on next year’s list! It has been lovely to have a catch up and I am already looking forward to seeing you again with more news, Teresa

[pamelapoet]

That green dress! It's the first thing I think of too. I enjoyed Atonement but what I remember mostly is the "feel" of the book, so I know just what you mean about it not being particularly memorable. It's so great how you make time to revisit favorites. I don't do that enough even though I always enjoy the new discoveries rereading unearths and how they deepen (usually!) my appreciation. I just learned of Maigret in a June article in the LRB. I think the universe is telling me to add him to the list. The setting of Bitter Orange sounds similar to that of The Animals of Lockwood Manor, which I have just begun and am really enjoying. As always, so many tempting titles! I've added just about all of them to my list.

Welcome back! Glad to see you settled and enjoying your new life, and great to have book discussions again, I had missed your videos

[beckyocole]

Oh yippee a new video! I really missed your YouTube videos, I’ve been reading a lot more since lockdown so keen to discover some new reads! X

[WorldWanderer]

I have missed you so much, welcome back dear Miranda💙💙💙💙

[HinaLateefShah]

Miranda, congratulations on your move to a new house. All the best as you embark on this new chapter of your life.

[olivewritesblog]

A wonderful selection - thank you! I’m so pleased to see you mention Hardy especially. I would also love to hear more books you’ve enjoyed that are set in one day (which is a favourite conceit of mine too).

[tamarapearce]

Hi Miranda, lovely to see you and wishing you the very best of luck in your new life in Yorkshire. How exciting and brave of you both to up sticks and leave London. I've added to my reading wish list considerably now... xxxx

[marionbuck]

I really missed your book recommendations on here, Miranda! I want to read each of the books you presented. I love your enthusiasm about books. It comes across so well and is so contagious. As I‘m still going through a nasty never ending divorce maybe I should read the last book on the list first... 😊xx
