A cozy, rainy night bookstore vlog ✨ Book shopping at the world’s largest independent bookstore 📚

[@marjoleint3592]

Ahh I really want to go on a date with my husband to a bookstore now 😄 We both love books, we have a little library in our home with more than 5000 books 😊 Our children love books too. Going to the library in our city is such a treat for my family. Then cosy on the couch reading books under a blanket with candles on. We love it so much (and I think that is why our children love to read too). Greetings from the Netherlands

[@MorganLong]

Oh wow, everything about this comment makes me heart sing! Happy reading to you and your family, Marjolein 💛

[@odalis6177]

When my kids were little all of us had a field trip to the bookstore. Now that my kids are grown my husband and I still enjoy a day at the bookstore.

[@16O211]

Ahh a fellow Dutchie! Ben je wel eens naar Waanders in Zwolle geweest? Als je niet te ver weg woont is het zeker de moeite waard! Prachtige boekenwinkel! ✨

[@marjoleint3592]

@@16O211 🇳🇱 👋🏻 Ja daar ben ik weleens geweest. Prachtige boekhandel. De mooiste boekhandel vind ik de Dominicanen boekhandel in Maastricht. Kan ik uren in rondlopen. Groetjes ✨🤎

[@Faerieshimmer]

Over 5,000 books lucky!! That is not small :) well imo I love that your family loves reading books! My parents and I do as well!

[@meganhartten8291]

You have to read Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None." Definitely my favorite of hers!!!

[@TheSelkie1990]

I second that! It's my fave too. :)

[@ThePrimroseCorner]

Definitely my favorite Christie!

[@juliaconnors3716]

My first thought, too!

[@mikeywestside8509]

If you read the Murder of Roger Ackroyd you will probably change your favorite

[@wanderlustwishes.rhiannon]

felt emotional watching this! reminded me of the first video i found of yours almost 2 years ago now😭 i had to second guess myself because i can’t believe it’s been that long since i found your channel!! i’m so so grateful that i did. it’s been amazing witnessing your youtube growth and admiring your magical creations of videos and art from afar☺️🖤 cheers friend!! thank you for another beautiful video!

[@MorganLong]

🥺😭 I was so emotional while filming it because it really did feel like a tribute to little Mo with nothing figured out! I remember wanting sooo many books when I filmed it back in 2019 but literally not having ANY money to buy them. I was sweating at checkout. Not all growth is financial…it just felt so good to be back, filming the same video, but in a much better place within my life. Like if I could go back and tell 2019 Mo that in exactly 2 years I’d be here…I would have balled my eyes out. Anyways, thank you so so so much for being here since the beginning, Rhiannon friend- you’re one of a very special few ❤️

[@wanderlustwishes.rhiannon]

@@MorganLong so happy to hear that morgan😭🖤 i can only imagine the emotions you must’ve felt while filming and editing, especially with the throwback clip you added in :,) it’s been such an honor to be here!! it means so much to me🖤

[@boglitt6918]

Can I just get mushy about Landon? The way he speaks to Morgan is just so…. Urgh! He’s so gentle and soft with her all the time. What a gentleman.

[@MorganLong]

Awww, it’s true!! 💕💕

[@idabustamante7081]

Hello friend . . never tire of these Powell's videos . .my favorite 👍❤🙋‍♀️🥰🎅🎄⛄

[@MorganLong]

❤️❤️❤️

[@kaiju_k5042]

Rainy night bookstore vlogs are my favorite, omgosh

[@MorganLong]

Thank you always for being at the premiere, friend!!! 💛

[@sabinebonschab352]

Since what Time the shop is open? Here in Germany there close latest 8pm.

[@FaeryLaume]

Rainy nights are my favorite time to visit Powell's.

[@bookishminds]

I love this video, the beginning is so cinematic and I always come back to it when I need a little comfort.🥰

[@emilycarter6978]

Discovered Morgan's channel a couple months before the shutdown in 2020... perfect timing because she has brought such peace and tranquility to my weeks ever since!

[@MorganLong]

Thank you for being here ever since 💛

[@blueguitar8954]

Such a comfortable video ❤️

[@Cpark1401]

Just when the world is starting to swallow me up and take me on a runaway train, your videos pop up and remind me to slow down and savour the moments.

[@MorganLong]

❤️❤️❤️

[@katmoons]

This video makes me want to brave the 10 hour drive to Portland just to explore that bookstore. Also, Morgan has an amazing amount of self control to be able to leave without a towering stack of books! Thank you for taking us on your date!

[@sairabookish]

I really enjoy your Powells vlogs. Perhaps one day I'll visit USA, but in the meantime I'll watch these bookish vlogs. Love from Scotland

[@MorganLong]

Thank you, friend ❤️

[@sjthorn]

Landon did a great job with that beginning shot, I felt like I was in a theater for the first time in years. I wish we had a Powell's where I live, but I live in a small country city that doesn't have much in the way of bookstores and only one small library lol, but I love it regardless. I love Agatha Christie, but personally And Then There Were None is my favorite.

[@camimvasquez]

Right! And coupled with the music made me think I was watching the beginning of a movie instead of a yt video

[@sjthorn]

@Camila Vásquez absolutely!

[@MorganLong]

Thank you so much, Stephanie friend! I was in tears while editing the intro because it felt so magical and movie-like ✨ I’m definitely going to try “And Then There Were None”- it’s been the most widely recommended!

[@FaeryLaume]

Powells has a website with online ordering. Not the same as visiting in person of course but still a wonderful resource.

[@sjthorn]

@@FaeryLaume oh yes, thank you. 😊I usually order online, but yes, walking into a bookstore is magical.

[@reganstevens5861]

This is so nostalgic!!! This was the first video I ever watched of yours and now you’re doing it again

[@MorganLong]

I felt just as nostalgic!! Thank you for being familiar with the start of it all ✨

[@landonthings]

So so so stoked for this one Mo… I know it’s a treat!

[@MorganLong]

Thank you so much for all your help with this one, Lan ❤️

[@reidh]

Stoked from Virginia as well! Miss you both!

[@casuallykat3188]

Beat vlog ever! You make a hard day so much better!

[@MorganLong]

Big hugs, friend 💛

[@elizabethbrown6145]

And Then There Were None is definitely my favorite Agatha Christie novel - it's a little bit on the spookier side but it's a quick read and really keeps you hooked!!

[@meganhartten8291]

My favorite of hers too!

[@mikeywestside8509]

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is life-changing.

[@taylor.1831]

I absolutely adored this video!! Your guys filming style is so enticing and cinematic it’s a joy to watch! This book store looks like a dream, wish there was one by we’re I lived!!

[@DonnaDoveWinters]

I am from and grew up in Portland. My family used to go out to dinner on the westside on Saturday nights, and we always hit up Powell's afterward. One of my favorite childhood memories

[@youtubegunlugum]

This felt like a real movie 🖤💫

[@MorganLong]

Thank you 🥺

[@heynonnynonnie9681]

Missing the rainy night cityscape vibe of Portland (specifically at Powells) and this hits the spot. Thanks so much for posting! Happy to see that the Coffee Room is back open!

[@terrijohnson4383]

Thanks for taking me to Powell’s this season. I’m moving back next summer so can’t wait for my next visit to Powell’s. My heart is happy. Happy holidays.

[@ebonyblu63]

What a fun date! I can spend all day in a bookstore.

[@ozziemarie]

For my honeymoon, my husband and I road tripped to Oregon (from Texas) to go to Powell’s! I’ve been watching your videos since the beginning and fell in love with Powell’s through your lens. Thank you for what you do!💛

[@MorganLong]

What an adventure that must have been!! I hope it was wonderful 💛 (and thank you, friend :)

[@alexasplace]

I love book store vlogs❤️😍☺️

[@dailycarolina.]

I would spend hours at that bookstore. Thank you for this vlog ❤. I've read 12 Agatha Christie books so far and these are my TOP favorite ones: Crooked House, Five Little Pigs, A Body in The library, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, and of course her most famous novel And Then There Were None. You could start with the latter.

[@KimChoeFoyo]

I traveled two hours to get to this book store! It’s incredibly huge. I loved it and loved seeing it in your vlog. It gives me good memories

[@asrta.fernanda]

I'm always excited for your vlogs, Morgan 😊 x

[@MorganLong]

Thank you Flick! ✨

[@Lina-cf4oy]

I wanna cry 🥲 This place is so beautiful and cozy! I wish I have a bookstore like this in my town here :"(

[@stefanieteichert1687]

Hey Mo, thanks for this Powells book video, I especially love seeing this bookstore. I dream of visiting Powells once in a lifetime. It would be a dream. (I always wrote a comment under each video, don't know if you've seen them ...... 😊😇😉🙃) I ordered three books for Christmas. Oh my dear Mo, you have to read Robert Dinsdale's The Toymakers soon, I'm absolutely sure you will love it too. Warm and cozy Christmas time for you

[@MorganLong]

Hello, Steffi friend! I love your comments always ❤️ Thank you for watching my videos! I’ve been looking for Dinsdale’s book but haven’t ever found it. I may have to do it electronically 📚

[@taylorloforti718]

“Death on the Nile” and “Third Girl” are really good Agatha Christie books that I strongly recommend.

[@geeduv]

The intro music is so introspective.

[@angelaw7619]

Love the red room! I always left with so many history books and memoirs! 😆

[@margaretsnyder4007]

Thank you for taking me to the bookstore! My saving Grace over this pandemic! Books save me! So fun going along with you! Thanks for all you do Morgan! 📚 are life!

Your videos and your channel are so magical, really! I can't get enough. Love every single moment, thank you for making me feel at home. My heart just relax as well as my soul everytime I watch your videos. Congrats on this marvelous and cozy channel

[@stephwittek]

This is perfect timing because I’m watching this on the morning my husband and I have a library date planned. 🖤 Love these sweet vlogs!

[@angiemcdermid4845]

What a delightful visit. Thank you. I loved all your favourites. I because I couldn’t tell which Agatha Christies I’ve already read, I an reading them all on order of publication. Up to the 50th one. I recommend Murder At the Vicarage for a classic romp

[@Livinlifeforleo]

Love the way this video was filmed and the background music was awesome! This had 80’s vibes to me! So enjoyable 😊

[@suzanneparvey4346]

Always a joy to go to Powells. I can spend hours there and have found many treasured books there over the years. I have to confess I have never read any Agatha Christie novels. I see some good recommendations here. Also Mary Oliver is my favorite poet and Upstream is a must read for you. I also love Hygge and Simple Life/Declutter life style books. I have a few in my library. I have to say I have never seen so few people at Powells. I always go during the day. Nighttime does have its charm. I have also read all the Jane Austen novels and Emma and Pride and Prejudice are my favorites. I love the nature section too. Have books on trees, mushrooms, and flowers. Need to check out the book on clouds. :) Thanks Morgan for another really fun video.

[@MorganLong]

We are kindred spirits most indeed :)

[@helgaa]

Watching this video was simpler than breathing:) It has such a unique atmosphere with a pinch of coziness. I definitely like it♡

[@MorganLong]

Wow, this is an incredible compliment- thank you, friend:)

[@Derbauer]

Thank you for a very enjoyable and relaxing 16 mins. Peace be with you both. ❤

[@snamorsixteen]

You have some of the lengthiest book shopping content and I’m not complaining! 😊

[@aditisachdeva1652]

Oh Morgan your videos are just so relaxing. I love you for making such content. ❣❣

[@FaeryLaume]

Your first Powell's video was how I first found your channel. Rainy night's at Powell's are my favorite time to visit. (Also, parking is easier, LOL). I think showing most of the rooms really helps your viewers get a sense of the size of the store. The first few times I visited I felt like I was in an M. C. Escher painting, or maybe the scene with the stairs at the end of the movie Labyrinth. I've read a handful of Agatha Christie. Right now I'm reading Midwinter Murders, which is a collection of her wintry short stories. I'm really enjoying it and it might be a good way for you to try out all her different characters and see which of her series will most appeal to you.

[@celineoceane1539]

This is such a cozy vlog to watch on a Sunday morning, thank you Morgan! I totally envy you for having such a huge bookstore where you live. I live in Germany so most of the time I have to order books I want to read in English.... A little Princess is such a great book and beautifully written, I also highly recommend The Secret Garden and Little Lord Fauntleroy if you haven’t read them yet (they are by the same author, I’m also currently writing my BA thesis on those two books :) I also love Agatha Christie and I highly recommend the Partners in Crime series with Tommy and Tuppence which is great and not as overwhelming because there are only five books in this series!

[@natalieklima279]

So cozy ♥️

[@lindastapleton2324]

I Love Laura Child’s cozy mystery’s!

This video is Epic! 😍📚💖 Everything was so beautifully weaved together. You are magic Morgan! ✨ This really lifted my spirits! 💛

[@MorganLong]

Ahhh thank you so very much, Kristen!! I absolutely LOVE this comment. Epic and magical are exactly what I was going for ☀️✨💫

[@tamelinbrown6114]

Ohhhh … going to miss this premiere. 😢 Have to be back in class at 12:30. But will look forward to watching it after school! 😃👍🏻❤️

[@MorganLong]

I honestly thought about the fact that you had class when I was scheduling the premiere! Seriously!! I was helping a friend so I had to schedule it for later and though “Oh no, Tamelin will be in class by then!” I’d remembered you’d had to leave the last premiere early for class

[@tamelinbrown6114]

@@MorganLong … Ohmygosh, that is so sweet! You absolutely made my day. ❤️❤️❤️ And I needed the little perk at the end of the day probably even more than the live chat. So it all worked out fine. Thank you, Dear Friend! ❤️❤️❤️

[@satopin7770]

This Vlog felt familiar...and then I smiled so big when you showed us a flash back of your old Vlog at Powell’s! 😬Landon is so good at filming and he seems like such a great bookstore buddy!

[@Lyon.Brit.andthebookshelf]

What a delightful video! I’m currently making my way through The Perfectionists Guide to Losing Control and have found it really eye opening. I had to set it down to reflect before I pick it back up!

[@hmspi]

Aww Morgan this video was so lovely! And also nostalgic because that Powell’s tour from 2019 was the first one of your videos that I watched, last fall! I immediately fell in love with your channel and I’ve been watching you ever since. Thank you for the joy and coziness that you bring to us all - I always feel so happy and peaceful after watching your videos. Happy happy holidays to you and Landon and of course Monsieur RoO!!

[@connief8579]

I love shopping Powell’s with you. I want all of the books! ❤️

[@fayesparallelstories]

I had equal measures of FOMO and living vicariously through you! I live in Berlin and even though we have some great bookstores there is now way I can be surrounded by so many English books in one place 🙃 What a great video 😊

Your red sweater 😍😍 where from?! So beautiful on you!

[@MorganLong]

Thank you so much! I got it from an online shop based on the UK called Olive Clothing. I LOVE THEIR SWEATERS

Is it weird that my husband and I do this exact same thing every Friday night? Dinner and the bookstore are staples for us, and coffee.

[@MorganLong]

That’s amazing!!

[@RovingReader]

Such a great video! I’d love to take a train out west and then go to Powell’s. I have a signed copy of the Tom Hanks book and the new Ann Patchett book. Such a fun video!

I have horrible flight anxiety that currently prevents me from traveling very far but Portland, and especially Powell’s, has been on my bucket list for quite a while. Thank you for allowing me to experience the magic of this place (and in such a cozy, beautiful way!) until I can manage to get there on my own 🧡

[@sherrirabinowitz4618]

I love you had a date night at a book store, lovely. Some great titles, are Evil Under The Sun, A Murder Is Announced, 5 Little Pigs and The Thirteen Problems, that is a book of short stories. That is two Poirot's and two Marples. I hope you enjoy whichever Christie you pick up.😊

[@jennyormrod2288]

Agatha Christie recommendations:- All of them!!! In all seriousness , the ones I would recommend for someone who is beginning on their journey with Agatha Christie's books would be The Mysterious Affair at Styles (her first book), The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, Death on the Nile, The Murder at the Vicarage, The Body in the Library, The Secret Adversary, Partners in Crime, The Man in the Brown Suit (my favourite!) and 4.50 from Paddington. Just to name a few! I'm a very big Agatha Christie fan and have read all her books and love every one!

[@juliafonseca2131]

What an incredible video! I found your channel in 2020, second semester (I believe!), And also only saw the first "version" of this video's then. I was so down, I was going through a really harsh lockdown, I was living in a room alone, never going outside, except for groceries. When I first saw your channel I couldn't believe that there were people who still had magic in them and were brave enough to put it out there for the world to see, and that grace and vulnerability were valued anymore, specially at that time. Not only you showed me that there was still whimsy in the world but also that I could find and harvest it in me. Thank you so much. "only if there are angels in your head will you ever, possibly, see one." Ps.: I hadn't heard of Mary Oliver before either, so thank you for that too 💖

[@MorganLong]

This is such a beautiful comment Júlia, it’s made me tear up. I shiver at the place you once were because it’s very familiar to me and I hope never feel the same way again. I’m so so so glad that my videos brought a bit of light to those gloomy days. Thank you for appreciating them so and finding value in what I share 💛 I’m currently in a bit of a slump myself but you’ve helped me 💛 Here’s so seeing Ángels 💫

[@juliafonseca2131]

Your videos helped me so much, and they still do. In moments of doubt, what you've been sharing with us, and the way you tell your stories have been an incredible reminder of the light we all have. And I do believe that in time the world can be a little brighter for it, even if just a little bit more. Thank you so so much for helping me ignite that light within myself. I'm glad I could be, even if only a bit, of help for you this time. You've created a beautiful community here. We have your back 🕯️

You really captured the essence of bookishness ! I wanna talk about so many I saw in this video! Such a power of your videos and art✨it resonates with people!
