10 years on booktube & book shopping in Bloomsbury 📚 

This is so WEIRD cause my 12 years on RU-vid is only a few weeks away and I can't believe I somehow did RU-vid for TWO YEARS WITHOUT YOU? Oh my god noooooooo I'm not tearing up at you saying how full circle it was that I read an Emma excerpt at your wedding when you'd only found me because of my Austen videos! NOOOO! I didn't realize that until this moment 😭 My favourite part of the last 10 years on this channel has been watching all of your different hair eras. I have loved ALL of them. Wish I could have gone back to our bench in the Gower Waterstones with you

Claire, I'm so delighted to have found your channel several months ago now through your friend Ariel's channel. Your love for one another is so dear. I'm enjoying going back through time on your channel now. Congrats to you on all your previous successes that have led to the lovely life you lead now. 💕🎉

Congrats! I think I've been watching your channel for what must be about 8 or 9 years!

I found your channel a few years ago through looking up videos of people visiting Monks House. Virginia Woolf is my favourite author and The Waves is my favourite book. I first read all of VW's books about 20 years ago. I've re-read many of her books over the years, but there are a few that I hadn't touched since my first read through of them. So this year I re-read them all in chronological order of publication, because when I first read them, I read them in random order.

A very late happy anniversary. Thank you for being a delight all these years.

Great video content, great music. Well done, and thanks from the American west. AND congratulations.

🎉🍂 I’ve only just found your channel I look forward to looking back on your 10 years, congratulations on a decade of beautiful memories

I have been following you almost 6 years and 🎉🎉 still relevant to my tastes ♥️

Congrats!!!!!!

Happy 10 year booktube anniversary, Claire! I've followed your channel for many years now (I don't know if it was exactly 10 years, but I've definitely grown up with you watching your channel). Your channel is SO SO lovely, and your book-content always inspires me. :) . That copy of Orlando is stunning. Also, I just love that dress on you - so happy and bright and Claire :)

congratulations on ten years 🎉 a fantastic achievement x

🎉🎉

I found you through Ariel Bissett when she made her videos about traveling to your wedding. Congratulations on 10 years, and a lovely wedding! 🎉👰🏻‍♀️

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Happy 10 year booktube anniversary.

How glad I was to hear your ending saying that there would be many more videos. I only found you a couple of months ago and have almost worked my way through 10 years of videos.... I only wish that there were many more! Congratulations on this milestone that you spent in Waterstones; book shopping videos are amongst my favorites.

Congratulations on your 10 year Booktube anniversary Claire! I've only been watching your videos for a few months and found your channel through Ariel's lol 🎉🎉 I love your videos and am always so inspired by your passion for books and knowledge. I've definitely picked up a fair few books based on your recommendations- mostly history books tbh. I also love your socialism because it's a huge part of my own identity as well 😁 Thank you for all your videos!

Congratulations 🎊 I belong to those who have just found you and I am so impressed 🥰

🎉 I love your channel and have been watching for about 7/8 years! Your videos have a lovely gentle pacing to them and I've discovered so many great books thanks to you. Also adore Sybil 🐈 x

Congratulations! Love these visits with you! Wishing you all the best! And many more videos!

The walkabout videos are my favourites, Claire, partly because I walk around my city taking photos of the life I see, right now, the 'new', the buildings, cafe furniture on the pavements, book displays in shops. Really, for anyone not young in this city there's a certain amount of grief for the impoverishment of culture as bookshops close, close, close. I remember as I pass the places where fast food shops have replaced another bookshop, the rare and well-stocked mind and shelves of the owners who introduced me to unusual but available books you just don't see in W****es or anywhere else. So for me there's an element of the demise of a particular culture, celebrated secondhand bookshops such as 'Rare and Racy', new esoteric and other books from 'Applebaum', book shops from twenty years ago or more that disappeared in a moment. How I wish now I had thought to capture something of those times when it was all happening and alive.Your videos freeze these moments of time, 'moments of being' even, in a way that the passing of time will make really precious. Thank you so much for this.

Wooooo, congrats!! 💛💛💛

Congratulations on 10 years!! 🎉🙌🏻 Always enjoy going book shopping with you. Beautiful edition of Orlando. 😊💙

Congratulations on your 10 years!! How wonderful. I have watched your through your years at university to the present and find them so refreshing and pleasurable. You are the book lover's book lover! Such a delight. I think I first stumbled upon your channel through Ariel's channel when she first visited York at that time, so it has been a few years! All the best to you, as your move to the years ahead! Congratulations!

Congratulations! 🎉🎉🎉What an amazing achievement and journey! I am so glad that I recently found your channel. I love the way you talk about books and take us along on walks and book shopping, I always feel inspired to read and be creative after watching. Thanks to you, I have not only begun reading more classics (including trying out audiobooks and giving Virginia Woolf a second try and loving both), but you inspired me to create my own channel (although about sewing, not reading!) ❤ I wish you many more years of happiness, success, and connexion through RU-vid and you have from me a faithful follower 😊

Congrats on 10 years! Thank you for all the lovely, calming, picturesque book shopping videos.

Congratulations, Claire!

🎉🎊

Congratulations on 10 years 🥳

Congratulations on 10 years of videos. I always love seeing your videos pop up in my feed.

No balloons but many thanks for your recommendation over the years. I found you through your love of Austin and Woolf who are my absolute favourites.

🥳 * sigh* That Waterstones... I've been following you for at least a couple of years but I can't remember how I found you. Recommended by youtube, I'm sure. I always enjoy your wanderings about London and inside bookshops. My ideal day!

Just came across your channel and subscribed.

Congratulations and Thank you for taking the time to make videos ❤️🌻🫖📚 I found your channel about 4yrs ago. I've greatly enjoyed your journey and look forward to continuing to share in the joys and enriching pleasure of reading for a long time to come. I'm hoping to be able to visit York sometime in the next few years. 🥰

Orlando is my favourite Woolf book that ive read so far. Congratulations on 10 years! Thank you for creating such inspiring videos, I discovered booktube and your channel 3yrs ago 💫🎉

Oh Claire, finally someone else with the same phobia as me. Struggled with birthday parties as a child because of balloons. I discovered you during lockdown, but I did binge watch your channel from the start.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Congratulations! Ohh that is my absolute favourite Waterstones! I was especially impressed by the history section and the indie publisher section 💛 plus all of the vintage Penguins 😍 I have probably watched your channel for 4 or 5 years! It's been a while at least hahah 🎉

I can't remember the year I discovered your videos in, but you were one of the very first channels I subscribed to in the early BookTube days :D Congratulations on 10 years 🎊🎊🎊

Congrats on the 10 years! I discovered you yesterday and have been watching your videos non stop. I'll be traveling to London in October and plan to visit all the bookstores you kindly showed us. Claire, thank you so much for sharing such wonderful content. Love from Uruguay! 💕

I distinctly remember first discovering your channel in my year 10, so that would have been 2013/14! Whilst my channel didn't last too long, I'm so glad that I have gotten to know you, and how funny that we crossed paths in the News Building a couple of years ago! I too took a trip to Gower Street for that gorgeous edition of Orlando - always a fan of a Woolf pilgrimage!

Happy 10th Anniversary Claire!📚🥂 I’ve been watching you for 10 years. Wow how time flies! I’ve always enjoyed your videos and looked forward to them. Wish you many more years of excellent reading and book video making…. 😍Are you still working in publishing? How is married life?

🎉🎉 I've been watching you for about two years. Your channel was recommended to me by booktube and I immediately subscribed. :)

Happy 10th Anniversary! :) 💛 I discovered your channel through Ariel Bissett, and it quickly became one of my favourite bookish channels of all times! Every time you upload it's such a joy, your videos keep me the best kind of company 🥰 Again congratulations!

Wow congrats on the 10 years 🎉. My heart jumped as you were in that bookshop flipping through old postcards. I saw one from the town I live in, Toowoomba. I am so curious to read what it says.

Congrats on 10 years! 🥂🎆 I don’t remember exactly when we subbed, but I know it’s been many years! -Becks
