What makes [the Comfort Book Club] so special is your impeccable taste in selecting books and your charming way of describing them. We can find plenty of book recommendations on the Web but nothing compares with your ability to capture the essential elements of a book bringing the story and the characters to life.

I absolutely love the opportunity you offer to share our opinions on the book of the month: it’s so interesting to listen to the comments and the Club members never fail to provide original insights and points of views that open up new perspectives on the story.

Last but not least I particularly appreciate the atmosphere of the Club: it is a safe place where all members interact with kindness and respect and in the jungle of the Web it’s an oasis of delight. — Laura

Each month, I look forward to the CBC selection and discussion, and can truly say that it has become a respite from the stresses of everyday life. What a pleasure it is to read and discuss a book with others who have similar literary taste! Miranda and Donna's joy and appreciation of wonderful literature are contagious, and not only have I been introduced to new to me authors and books but I've learned something new every single time. — Faith

Reading along with The Comfort Book Club has been such a joy. I have been introduced to authors I would not normally read as well as enjoying old favorites. I especially enjoy the insightful and interesting discussions that you and Donna host. One particular discussion on The Wind and The Willows really opened my eyes to an entirely different interpretation than what I previously thought. So much so, I reread the book again after the discussion. Thank you for being a lovely host and for choosing such excellent reads. – Glenda

Rereading classic favourites, and discovering new authors in the genres I really appreciate, and sharing them with like-minded people is very satisfying. I love that Miranda, and her mom, relish the books that they read, savouring and pondering them. The readers who leave messages do the same, and it is like exploring the many facets of a gem, making each book more enjoyable and the experience more valuable. — Charmaine

In a world with much confusion and sorrow, places -- including online -- that offer the world beauty, comfort and order can be hard to come by. I appreciate Miranda's Comfort Bookclub for offering all three! Through Miranda's book club, I discovered the delightful The Vanderbeekers of 141st Street by Karina Yan Glaser. Miranda's presence is a blessing to us all, as everyone needs a good cup of tea, writing and comfort in their lives! — Elizabeth R

I am grateful to Miranda and Donna for introducing me to classics like R.C. Sherriff's Fortnight in September (which is now one of my all-time favourites) and E. M. Delafield's The Diary of A Provincial Lady. As I look around the rug in my study, I see so many wonderful books recommended and inspired by the CBC. And, it is lots of fun too; I have even hummed a jazz tune for a message to the CBC. Cheers to Miranda and Donna, and the CBC, for being my comrade-in-books! — Jason

As an overly anxious person the comfort book club is so enjoyable to me. It helps take me out of the stressful times I bear and to explore the world that is offered through pages and bindings. The discussions with fellow readers and Miranda and Donna are just magical. You honestly feel like you're sitting down with a cup of tea and a pastry chatting with good friends! — Allison

Your Comfort Book Club is such a gentle and welcoming space that has introduced me to many new authors as well as reminding me to revisit some older favourites. Thank you. — Elizabeth

I start the Book Club with a strong cup of tea. Milk no sugar. A mug to fit the cosy setting of a screen to be played, and a comfort book club pick by my side. I know that I will learn something new today. Through observations, opinions, thought provoking questions and a friendly chat about an author’s narrative we get to escape in knowing we’re in a special place with you and your Mum. You’ve both made the Comfort Book Club a pure joy to experience. — Racy

The Comfort Book Club has been a wonderful way to engage with new books whilst feeling a part of a lovely community of readers. Miranda and Donna’s carefully selected titles have allowed me to discover new authors that would have previously been overlooked, particularly those who have written children’s literature or books set in the interwar years. I have even felt the revisiting of beloved favourites whether it be Georgette Heyer or Jane Austen, has given me newfound appreciation of the text and discoveries that I never thought of before. The dialogue between Miranda and Donna, accompanied with cups of tea is always insightful, the books treated with loving care. It is a highlight of the month, something I dearly look forward to. — Antoniette

The Comfort Book Club has become one of my all-time favorite book discussion venues. So classy, so informative, so fun! I've been introduced to so many new-to-me authors (such as Agatha Christie) and have become quite inspired to begin my own personal library. The Comfort Book Club has introduced me to a group of wonderful people from around the world. Sharing insights with one another over a shared interest has been such a gift. — P.J. Lombard

Reading along with others who enjoy your book recommendations has been so lovely. Being a part of a community that also appreciates slow, comforting reads is really special. I read along whenever I can or when I can get hold of the books for each month and contributing to the monthly discussions helps me to think a bit more deeply about what I’ve read, whether it’s a new book for me or a re-read. I get so much from the discussion that you and your mum have each month, as well as from the views of other readers – I always learn something new and take away food for thought. — Emma

I enjoy the Comfort Book Club very much. Not only do I learn about new authors I might enjoy and hear comments from around the world, but more importantly, I've found a community of like minded readers who share my taste in books. — Bobbi

The CBC made me realise I enjoy having a bit of structure in my life. Planning what I will read exactly this month never works with me as I tend to follow impulses and let the books find their way to me as well as making sure I have many waiting for their time to be picked. However, I loved having almost like a curriculum to follow too and I’m happily following it because, after years of watching your videos, you have my trust….There is also an element of pleasant anticipation and surprise with the CBC when I’m looking forward to you announcing the future book club choices. — Anna
