Hello! I’m Miranda Mills
A passionate reader, my goal is to encourage everyone to develop a life-enhancing reading habit, however limited their time.
If you'd like to enrich your life through the pleasures of great literature and finding a kindred bookish community, then you’re in the right place.
Watch on YouTube
For bookish chats and recommendations, as well as seasonal living inspiration, do subscribe to my YouTube channel. Every Thursday at 5pm BST, I share a vlog that highlights everyday pleasures, from excellent reads, to favourite recipes and trips to beautiful bookshops and gardens in Yorkshire and beyond.

I also share recipes inspired by books and delicious, easy bakes to enjoy on cosy afternoons with a cup of tea and a good book.

Read a Comfort Book Together
I host The Comfort Book Club on my YouTube channel. Each month, my Mum and I pick a comfort classic to read together, and we invite anyone interested to read along with us and join in our discussion of the book on the last Sunday of each month.

Discover Seasons of Story…
An online literary journal and community devoted to great storytelling through every season of the year.
Enjoy access to exclusive monthly content, such as: weekly articles; monthly podcast book chats between me and my (equally bookish!) mum, Donna; regular online zoom gatherings and access to my Seasons of Classics quarterly book club.
Welcome, book lover! You're among friends …
The above message greets those crossing the threshold of one of my favourite bookshops, Foyles in London, and the welcome has always given me a warm glow of comradeship. I extend the same greeting to you.
Within this online hub, I hope you'll find many friends, whether they're taken from my virtual bookshelves (as, to quote Louisa M Alcott, books are always good company if you have the right sort), or found within my online communities of like-minded readers.

'I suggest that the only books that influence us are those for which we are ready, and which have gone a little further down our particular path than we have yet gone ourselves.'
