Commonplace books have been kept for centuries, and have historically been used to record favourite passages from books, poetry, anecdotes, extracts from letters, proverbs, lists, shared recipes, quotes, prayers and lyrics. 'Commonplacing' has seen a recent revival and can now be seen more as a highly personal anthology - a joyful place where the keeper can develop a deeper sense of self by selecting fragments of language that feel meaningful and reflect their tastes, beliefs and values. In this book, delve into blogger, Instagrammer and YouTuber Miranda Mills' ultimate commonplace book, a carefully curated guide to the seasons.
