BATH BOOK SHOPPING VLOG! Beautiful Bookshop Tour of Bath + My Book Haul! 🎄 📚

Ойын-сауық

In this festive book shopping vlog, I'm visiting Bath for my event with Persephone Books and filming a beautiful bookshop tour of Bath. Mum and I had so much fun book shopping together and admiring the Christmas lights and decorations all over the city. Bath was looking spectacular! And the best bit was getting to meet some of you at the end of our stay. I hope you enjoy getting cosy and watching this vlog of a very special bookish trip ❤️ 📚 🎄

    Dear Miranda, Thank you for a magical vlog of your magical time at Bath! Everything was elegant - the stay at Marshal Wade's House, the lead up to the Persephone event, and even the preparation of the cheese board for Nicola Beauman were all stylishly presented (I would panic and faint if somone said to me that Nicola Beauman would be over for wine and cheese 😅). I liked all of the books you got (I was thrilled to see we have the same edition of The Little Ottleys and Farther Afield). I will be rewatching this video again (and again). One day I shall get to visit Bath. Thank you, Miranda, for a brilliant video! 👌 Best wishes, Jason

    The sound track is so enthralling. The tune at the Persephone part of the blog had me in awe. It was fabulous meeting you and Donna. It really made my week. So happy you enjoyed the candle - it was made in Bath. Supporting local businesses. Nichola Beauman was enchanting at the event. She added a special touch to the event with the tea, scone and cake touch. It felt really cosy. I paid a visit to Toppings before heading to Persephone, and fell in love with it. It looks so festive at the moment with that Christmas tree. Plus, the staff was very friendly. I could say so much about this love video, but better sush now.😂😂 Having said that, I got a couple of books at Persephone, including Greenbanks by Dorothy Whipple, and Plats Du Jour by Patience Gray and Primrose Boyd. Have a great week!

    Thank you Miranda. I always enjoy your out and about vlogs because you film them so well. I appreciate the slower camera pans which don’t make me feel dizzy watching! It was like being there with you, which for me is bitter sweet because I used to live quite close to Bath and was often in the city centre. In fact my son was born there so I have that connection. I thought you would have read the Remains of the Day. Every time I drove by Dyrham Park I could “see” Mr. Stevens driving that little car to the top of the main road heading to the west country for a holiday and to attempt to solve his staff situation. I’m not sure but I think there are only two branches of Topping and Co. in the U.K. and I live in the city where the other one is. I hope you and your Mum come to visit one day.

Must go back with her. What a haul. Those Miss Read covers are wonderful and you’ve answered my question of Christmas books from Persephone. Also, I’ve recently been sent to your vlogs and am LOVING them, some may even say bingeing, they are delightful.

The Marshall Wade House was just the loveliest accommodation for you and your mother whilst in Bath, and the view from your windows gorgeous! I particularly loved the music in this video, and feel as though I have just come back from a visit to some wonderful bookshops and sightseeing around Bath. It was so nice to have a glimpse of the new Persephone Books, and really good to see what a success your talk was, and how lovely you looked in each outfit.

    It's becoming my Christmas tradition to watch all your Christmas' videos in December, sometimes more than once LOL. This one in Bath is especially magical! That George Bayntum second hand book store is stuff of dreams, so nostalgic, especially with the lovely music as I "browsed" through those vintage books (most specifically the Miss Reads ones--- how I would love those!!!). But everything in this video is magical, from your mom and you looking so happy and beautiful, that beautiful place you stayed in with the lovely Cathedral outside and Christmas tree, to the cheese shop and places you ate at... Just magical! ❤❤❤

They are absolutely wonderful with such great recommendations of books for gifts - I've ordered 2 for my parents and hinted at one for myself! I just wanted to thank you for all the effort you put in. I'm trying to get back into reading at 48 years old to help create calm in my world - I adored reading as a child but I'm now usually too impatient to sit and read for long. But I'm slowly getting back into it and with your encouragement will no doubt learn to love it again. Thank you 💖

I enjoyed watching everything and I thank you so much for the video. Your pink velvet dress was beautiful and looked lovely on you. Now, I would love to take a trip to Bath at Christmas time. Have a great week!

    Thanks you for another cheery delight! While we haven't anything like your Bath nearby, we are inspired to take a lovely day trip before Christmas to keep the festive sparkle alight. The one thing I wonder is will you shelve your Persephone cookery books with your Persephone collection, or with your cookbooks? It's a challenge for me, these sorts of home library decisions!
