A COZY COTTAGE READATHON VLOG || Jane Austen's, "Persuasion"

Hello, friends!
We've made it most of the way through January-- this is a feat worthy of celebration as I find the Winter months often very difficult to get through, how about you? It's been especially difficult because of the pandemic but I won't harp on. Instead, here's to prioritizing comfort and feelings of well-being these winter months (or if you're in a different hemisphere than me, here's to soaking up all the sunshine).
I had a very cozy Sunday spent reading Jane Austen's, "Persuasion." I thoroughly enjoyed the novel and hope thoroughly enjoy this hygge-focused vlog I made of the day.
Thank you always for being here 💛
Big hugs,
Mo

Starting my day with your vlogs always makes me feel so cozy and inspired :) Thank you!

Thank you so much, Olivia, for watching my videos to start your day

[@ReReChan]

This thought just crossed my mind. If I was living in the time of Jane Austen's novel, I'd love for the novels to be long, in multiple books, and dragged out as long as possible. I mean, what else am I going to do? There were no movies, TV series, youtube videos, podcasts, or music. That's why one household can have up to 12 kids at that time.

[@MorganLong]

It would be so interesting to experience that time!! I think I'd also appreciate the long novels more : )

Hi Morgan! It is so true that you need to believe in yourself in order to make positive things happen in your life. I always find reading to be so therapeutic-giving me joy in life. I love buying books more than just downloading it on my tablet. There is nothing like having the physical book. Morgan, continue to remain positive because it enhance your self esteem and stress. It is healthy for your body.

Soft sweaters do make everything better in my opinion. I admit Jane Eyre is my favorite classic of all time, but Jane Austen makes me laugh in a way few classical (or even modern) authors manage.

I am always so happy to begin each Friday with a cozy, wonderful video from you Morgan! 😍 I am also struggling with the short, dark, mostly grey days of winter. I LIVE for summer! 🌞 Spring and Fall always captivate me as well! But, winter... definitely a struggle! I love the idea of a full reading day to embrace the coziness of the season! I remember frequently spending entire Saturdays reading snuggly in bed as a child. Wow, it would be fun to recreate such a happy memory! 💕

These winter days have definitely been a struggle-- I'm similar to you, Kristen, in that I LIVE for summer!

Hi Morgan .... So funny that I just came across your U Tube this morning! Especially as last evening I was watching EMMA ..! On TV ....! Here in Uk 🇬🇧! Like you I love the stories that Jane writes and so much enjoyed your Vlog this morning!! Earlier in the year I was lucky enough to visit the Austin home and village where Jane lived with her mother and sister! It was like stepping back in time where life was slower and there was a quietness about the village I’m sure you would love ... we walked to the church where her sister Cassandra and her mother were buried then walked to the house her brother lived in ... what a lovely day we had .... ! On our way to Glastonbury.... thank you 😊

I've just recently finished reading all of Jane Austen's novels and while it makes me so sad, I agree that all of her works have a nice feel to them, like coming back home 🧡 I'm glad you enjoyed persuasion!

Great choice! I love the BBC adaption of Persuasion from 1995. Seen it many many times and yet strangely I haven't got around to reading the book! I love the settings for the book which include Lyme Regis and Bath. I read Northanger Abbey when I was in my early twenties and I really enjoyed it, but then I like all the Gothic fiction which it spoofs. I love Pride and Prejudice and have read it more than once. Emma is supposed to be really funny.

I'm only 5 minutes in but I had to pause and share my excitement that you're reading Persuasion! It's easily one of my favourites (if not *favourite*) Austen novel. I think you'll love it!! Okay, back to the video! 😋 EDIT: Now that I've finished watching, I'm so glad you enjoyed Persuasion! Anne is definitely a more reserved, mature character than Austen's typical leads, and as much as I love Elizabeth and Emma, I found it really interesting exploring this new little world with Anne and Captain Wentworth. Thank you for the warm and cozy video as always, Morgan! They're my favourite way to start the day 💕

Thank you so so much, Katie, for appreciating my videos-- I seriously love that you start your days with them 💕 I loved Persuasion and I agree with your perspective!

The hearty food, tree-climbing, and cozy read made for the absolute best day! Thank you for sharing it with me : ) I recommend downloading an audiobook version of Pride and Prejudice and reading along with it-- this is the only way I was able to get into reading Austen's novels (I'd tried and failed so many times before). Happy reading, tiny best friend!

Such a great vlog, as always. Last year I treated myself to a box set of Jane Austen’s books cos I absolutely love watching Pride and Prejudice and have watched the tv adaptation with Colin Firth so many times. So I’m hoping that once I have finished my studies I’ll have more free time to spend on reading and will get round to reading Persuasion. Roll on June as I can’t wait to have a day to just be able to sit and read without any worries about anything else 📚

[@TheSelkie1990]

I love your vlogs and your house! It looks so cozy and warm. I also am a huge Jane Austen fan. I've been to her house in England even. I want to go back so bad! Persuasion was the last book of hers I had to read when I was there, so I had planned to buy a copy at her house. In the shop, Persuasion fell on me....I was like, okay! I'll buy you! LMAO The ghost of Jane. Haha I highly recommend the movie that's about her later years, Miss Austen Regrets. It's so good! :)

@@MorganLong this truly puzzles me. I was hoping you'd reach your goal sub number by the end of December, but I also think YT has its own incomprehensible mechanisms no one will ever be able to predict. Your videos are so unique and the quality of the content and the esthetic is incredible, so I firmly believe it's just a matter of time.🌟🍀 We know you put your heart and soul in your videos, and this level of sincerity and transparency could be at odds with great numbers one day, and that's ok, we can always have patreon for that. (I plan to upgrade from peppermint to earl gray as soon as I'm able to☕). And, I noticed last week's numbers were strange almost on every channel, and I believe this could be due to the inauguration. I was glued to the livestream for a few days in a row myself (how amazing Amanda Gorman was? That last verse of The hill we climb makes me choke up every time) and I'm not even in the US. Also, may I suggest maybe a themed readathon? I feel those do so well (that's how the algorithm made me find your Anne with an e readathon 😍). I'd happily watch any day in the life by you, but I'm under the impression those kinds of themed videos do well... Sorry this was so long, and sorry for the unsolicited advice. Please know there's many of us who'll always be here for you💖

[@rachelb751]

I never really liked Jane Austen until last year when I bit the bullet and read Pride and Prejudice. My first attempt at Austin was in high school when I tried to read Sense and Sensibility. I stopped half way through and never finished it. I've changed so much since then as a reader. I've learned that when I read classics it's a necessary step to research the author and get a glimpse into their time period. Knowing that her novels are a commentary on the society of the time makes a big difference as well. I also read the forwards now. My problem right now is wanting to read large chunks at a time when I need to nibble on it. It overwhelms me a bit when I try to take too much in at once and I miss a lot of things.

[@MorganLong]

I have literally the exact same introductory experience to Jane Austen. I tried to read Sense & Sensibility in high school as my first go at her works and it seemed like a foreign language. It wasn't until a few years later that I downloaded the audio book to Pride and Prejudice and read along with it that I was finally able to understand and appreciate Austen's writing. Now I love her works! I also do research-- it helps so much. Happy reading!

Sadly it was cancelled last September due to covid and I am trying to be optomistic about this year...but who knows.

I'm very inexperienced in the realm of porridge-- I'd never thought to have it with milk. I will try it!

Beautiful. Really just beautiful! I loved the first shot! (From outside) I’ve never seen anything like it! Cheers to you for trying something new Morgan!! Lots of love and sunshine!🌞🌞. EDIT: You have such a amazing sense of music! Something that definitely comes from a musician:) have you played an instrument?

[@MorganLong]

Thank you so so very much, Selma 🌞🌞 I can feel the sunshine!! I really made an effort to make this vlog as cinematic as possible and I'm happy you've noticed. I would so love to be a musician. I tried to learn the piano as a child and my piano teacher literally gave up on me! I haven't really tried anything else since. Maybe it's time to try again!

Hello lovely, such a good video. I have watched different versions of the movie Persuasion and from the sounds of your explaining the book, sounds almost totally different. But I know most books are different from the movies. I'll have to get the book and read it. Wanted to ask, do you purchase all the books you read or get them from library? Or both? Roo seems so content, quite and enjoying the winter as well. Do you walk him throughout the day and just don't video it? Being such a big dog, he seems to be full of energy. Sweet Roo!! I had the same breakfast today, yum. What was the last dollop you put on the oatmeal? Looks like peanut butter? I too have come to embrace the winter months. I use to dread them but am learning to calm, myself, to read more and just relax. This is such a productive season and much to enjoy and appreciate. I'm enjoying it for my health too. I enjoyed seeing you embrace and appreciate this season as well. TFS.

Thank you so much for watching and appreciating my videos, Roksanna

@@MorganLong You're welcome. Awh, you run a mile! That's one of the reason's you have a gorgeous figure. 👍 I champion you for that, and having Roo run with you is awesome. I'm certain he loves it💞 too. No wonder he's all chilled when you video...lol. My son has a chocolate lab, named Bogey, and boy oh boy, the energy level on him is wild...lol. I'm 65, so past my running days (for me), but do enjoy long walks. Aha, almond butter, I have that, so tomorrow it's getting a dollop of that in my oatmeal. Ty. Yes I've seen 2 different versions of Persuasion, liked both, but now going to find the book. I too shop for used if I can. I shop at ThriftBooks online and am very happy with their service. Have you heard of them? I also shop local to a place here in Ohio called Half Price Books. They also will send you books thru the mail but I go inside. Can't wait till things are better to go often. And more visits to library as well. Thanks for chatting back. You all have a great day.

So lovely I had to watch it twice in a row! Also how is it that I haven't read Jane Austen yet, gah!! Any 1st book recommendations, something you think is good to start with? :)

[@MorganLong]

Thank you so much for the double view and comment, friend! I definitely recommend starting with Pride and Prejudice. And if you can, download the audiobook to listen along as you read! It was the only way I was able to understand the writing and enjoy the story. There are tons of free audiobook adaptations!

[@kaiju_k5042]

@@MorganLong aww thank you for replying! Honestly we watch your videos and vlogs all the time on repeat, I cast them on my tv and my baby loves your face and the music and I love the cozy content. I ordered myself the yellow Powell's mug in December and it has been my go to tea cup for weeks now, you're a treasure and an inspiration. My whole whole family loves your content, anything to support you is important to us
