Hi haleyyyy ❤ I love your videos

[@SilverSnowDrops01]

.😊

[@Idkgaming33]

Omg I love you sooo much

[@CassiaDee]

Your self control to not buy a second piece of luggage and fill it with books is amazing to me!! Powell's Books has been on my bucket list forever, I'm so glad you got to go!

[@AshlynnCalee]

I’m not gonna lie, I was thinking about it😭😭😭😂

[@CassiaDee]

@@AshlynnCalee My sister-in-law once went to Powell's Books for 3 days and I believe spent one week's income, all on books she bought there. She drove, so she was able to pack her car full of allll the books. Haha isn't that just the book lover's dream??

[@tiananesbitt7156]

Omg immediately saved video on my list 😅

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

The fact that we had so many giggles together still makes me smile!! Ilysm!

[@AshlynnCalee]

I know right! Love you!!💓🥹

[@SqweakySqwizard]

When I was a kid I got dragged out to Oregon from the east coast to go see my grandma and I hated the entire trip. That being said, Powell's was the only thing about the trip that I can still vividly remember. It was magical and I would love to go back and spend about a week or two in there 😭😭

[@michelleferguson7212]

How crazy you met them all at the store, talk about a meet cute! The editing of this video is very cute and enjoyable. Can’t wait to see what you think of your new books!

[@RaesReads]

You are literally the cutest, most respectful, sweetest ball of sunshine to ever exist 😂💜💜 The little 'you can go by's and 'sorry's and everything else, always with a huge smile, were so adorable, haha

[@steimerr]

I can’t help but smile when you talk about Ian’s love for Stephen King. The loml passed away in April, he is the one that got me into reading. He read almost every Stephen King book while he was in prison. The first time we went to B&N together we both picked out a Stephen King book and would read them aloud to each other 💙

[@jellysolo]

I’m so sorry for your loss 🥺 that’s such a sweet memory to have to carry with you 💜

[@steimerr]

@@jellysolo thank you 🙏🏻💙

[@katchtree]

My husband is there attending school! We are from Canada and my last trip down there to visit him I spent 4.5 hours in there! It’s my favourite place to go when I’m in Portland!❤

[@MuhammadUsmanShoukat62]

Hello you need any book

[@RaesReads]

I feel overwhelmed just watching this video, I cannot even imagine how stressed I would be in real life 😂 I would need MULTIPLE days in that 1 million book labyrinth

[@Vanessa-fs7oz]

Powell's is the best 🥰 I used to go often when I lived in Portland. I was a 15min walk away so it was not good for my wallet or my already crowded bookshelves 😂

[@jordanfoltz-k1r]

As a Man that loves books i find this refreshing. glad you ladies are having a good book hunt.

[@bea5687_]

Yes Ashlynn!! Love your videos. You have quickly become one of my favorites ❤Thank you for sharing the Gospel 🙏

[@AshlynnCalee]

Wow!!🥹thank you so much!

[@goodmornindreamer]

I LOVE Portland! I've been to Powell's Books twice in my life and I dream of getting to go back sometime soon! 😍That was so sweet for you to bring back some books for your fiancé as well and seeing his reaction with the different cover!

[@froukjefaber8229]

5:58 for some reason this was adorable Love the video!!

[@calvinryanthehorizon]

as someone who actually lives in Portland, the bookstore is really really huge. I barely go there, tho I need to get back there again to pick up some stuff in the future.

[@AmandasBooktopia]

Wow Powell’s is huge! I would love to go there someday. Glad ya’ll had fun!

[@openlybookish]

It's worth it.😊

[@AshlynnCalee]

It’s definitely worthy of going on the bucket list!💓

[@PeaceStandsxo]

Awww I'm about a three hour car ride from Portland and I've been to Powell's Books!! I love it there, it truly feels like a little book world

[@RaesReads]

I can't believe of all places in the world, it is Portland, Oregon that has the largest bookstore in the entire WORLD 😂 Love it, haha

[@emilywilson0224]

Love love love The Invisible Husband of Frick Island! Not too many people talk about it but it is such an interesting concept for a book and I thoroughly enjoyed it! It was one of the first books that got me back into reading! I’m excited to hear what you think of it when you read it!! ❤

[@ems5454]

oh my god so many of my favorite girlies together, this was such a blessing! 10:26 also, are those matching sweatshirts? how cute!

[@DEVansh001]

Really makes me happy, seeing you guys so excited and happy... Definitely gonna read honey n spice :)

[@redheadtreefrog]

I read The Invisible Husband of Frick Island at the beginning of this month and I loved it so so much! One of my favorites of the year so far!

[@Kittyzero13426]

Always fun to meet new people and do bookish things. Glad you had fun!

[@nemanjaceperkovic3676]

A ti si, Gospode, Bog milostiv i milosrdan, spor na srdžbu, bogat milošću i istinom. Na mene se osvrni, milostiv mi budi; svoju snagu podaj sluzi svome, spasi sina sluškinje svoje. Na meni pokaži znak dobrote, pa nek vide oni što me mrze; neka se zastide tebe, o, Gospode, jer si mi pomogao i utešio me. Psalmi 86:15-17

[@faithsreadingthings]

Literally LOVE. I’m a bad influence lolol I will always tell you to buy it😂😂❤️

[@AshlynnCalee]

Hehehe no I LOVE it!!😏

[@artisticbeing260]

Went to this place a couple of years ago with family members! It is a freaking maze at times when you're walking around, but I'ts definitely my favorite bookstore by a mile!

[@bonnt10]

I can’t believe you were all in my area and I didn’t get to see you guys! I would have DIED!!!!!

[@fabiplvcn9513]

I love Ashlynn sm, she is actually the cutest and nicest person ever💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@evelynnygren7097]

Wow! I'm glad you had such a fun time in Portland! Powell's looked so fun! I've been wanting to go there for sooooo long and this video has made me want to go even more. Also, I'm not sure if you've heard of or read anything by Kristin Hannah, but I think you would really like her stuff. She writes a lot of historical fiction like Julie Berry, who you said you really like, so I figured I'd mention her. Loving watching your videos, by the way!! :D

[@haleyhigdon8791]

I love love love the invisible husband of frick island!! It’s just a good read and I hope you enjoy it ❤

[@tonah1425]

So excited for part two!!

[@judithb4308]

Fantastic video 😍! Also, you doing a great job interviewing other people/ KZbinrs! ❤️

[@luluraheem8487]

I'm from Portland! I always love seeing booktubers come to Powells, it hits so close to home

[@Cherishmomentsdiaries]

Ahh love you queens so much!! Super inspirational

[@elisabethprice4697]

I love seeing books that no one’s has ever heard of!! Or that aren’t that popular!

[@Whtpaper]

I'm glad you enjoyed my city and Powells. It's such a great bookstore. ❤

[@bonnt10]

MINE TOOOOOO!!!

[@sl2094]

Petition for an Ian and Ashlynn road trip vlog to Powell's

[@mistyrain04]

Super late to this but YES!! That would be an awesome video!

[@kathylovingshimer6708]

Glad you girls enjoyed yourselves

[@kaycrocheted]

I love living in oregon because i live about a 3 hour drive from here, but girl idk how you did this i get overwhelmed at barnes 😂

[@csoph_5891]

Morning from down under, Ashlynn! ❤ Just made my day!

[@elisabethprice4697]

This is amazing! Love this idea!

[@Lillyjoy]

Aww I love it! I hope I can go to Powell’s someday!

[@bellethomas7252]

If you want to read more Julie Berry I would highly recommend The Scandalous Sisterhood of Prickwillow place. It’s about girls at a boarding school who cover up a murder. It’s set in Victorian England, has murder mystery, light romance, and is so funny!

[@kaylag9579]

If you go for a week pack one suitcase between the two of you and then bring an empty one just for books. Take minimal clothes. Then bring home all the books.

[@katlaoreysigurardottir8787]

I LOOOOOOVE Shawnci’s dress!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JoeCantRead]

When I lived in Portland I used to go downtown to Powells for my morning coffee and read

[@livslibrary]

This makes me miss Powell’s so much! I can’t wait to go back! 😍

[@susanpuckett4521]

Another great video sweet girl!! Such self control!! I'm impressed! I do have a question...I'm an East coast girl and it has always been said that the largest book store in the world is at Union Station New York City. At least according to the Guiness Book of World Records, it is. I guess there are lots of different ways to determine the "largest" book store (square footage, amount of shelf space, number of books, number of floors, number of genres, etc). Either way it looks like all you book cuties had a fabulous time! I love when booktubers get together like that! There is a book tuber that lives right there in Portland...her name is Morgan L8ng and she has a beautiful channel. But you're still one of my very favorites! You're fabulous! Thank you for another great video!!

[@healingwithvaness]

loving this content!!

[@sjthorn]

I'm a little surprised Morgan Long wasn't in this video, but it's still so fun to see a mini crossover event like this lol. I would love to go to Powell's one day.

[@jenntruong6023]

I live about 4 hours away from Portland! I have visited Portland before but have never been to Powell's. It is on my list to go in the future though!

[@BiancaJuliaVlogs]

That outro was very cute 🥰

[@alinasreading]

ALREADY KNOW ITS GONNA BE A GOOD VIDEO!!

[@JuliaM987]

This intro was so good! I've never even heard of Powell's until your video . . .

[@sarastewenson7291]

You remind me of Louisa Clark from the “Me before you” movie. You have such a bubbly, happy vibe 💕

[@yarapost-gi8tq]

6:24 that one boy looking at the camera🤣

[@kaypopwithkayla]

omgg going to this bookstore looks like a dream come true

[@hailieB527]

You meet the most interesting people i swear love you ❤

[@kathrynreinitz6619]

I was there in the early 2010s and I couldn't get through the entire thing. It was mind boggling!

[@kaidne]

You guys are an awesome couple. God bless!

[@queenkim8631]

The Invisible Husband of Frick Island sounds like it would've been a good thriller 😅

[@chioreadsbooks]

I need that sweater because I swear whenever I’m reading it’s like I have a sign that says “bother me, please interrupt”

[@excused00]

your voice is so soothing😍

[@AF2277S]

Really? I like her content but the voice is the most “I want to be an excited KZbinr mixed with anime voice”

[@Isuhbug]

Seeing these type of people in portland makes me giggle just a little

[@Krystalbrown1105]

I was just at this book store yesterday! I took a day trip to Portland from Seattle! I absolutely was in aww the entire time I was there! I may have broken my book buying ban >.> >.>

[@nickchilds3155]

I read the title of the video, saw the picture and I KNEW you where going to my beloved p town to Powell :)

[@haleyhentze5621]

Powell's is incredible! I"m an Oregonian who hates Portland, but I will go there only for Powell's haha

[@Nathan.hi.redeemed]

I really want to go there! I hope you had fun

[@dannyletcher5873]

I live a couple blocks away from Powell’s. It’s a curse because I spend too much money there lol!

[@totomagoto]

The Passion of Dolssa is one of my all time favorite books!! I don't know anyone else who has read it so I'm so excited to see what you think! (Warning, the ending had me literally SOBBING I don't think I've ever cried that much while reading a book😭)

[@nikkileigh3747]

You need to come to Dallas and visit the half price books flagship store!

[@monty1434]

Welcome to Portland! I live abt 15mins from Powells ❤️🙌🏻

[@mulletmonkey63]

wish i had bookstores like this where i live

[@sydneydunn7507]

I have that cover of Duma Key I didn’t know it was rare! Thank you!

[@hobbesthegoblin]

The Powell's branch on SE Hawthorne sometimes has better used books than the downtown location, just depends what you're looking for. I hate how the downtown one separates "adult" and "kids" graphic novels so arbitrarily with no rhyme or reason. They're comic books, just let them be what they are.

[@Sophie-ry5yv]

I absolutely love washing all of your videos! You just bring me so much joy! 💕 I would love to try a Stephen King book but horror scares me. Is there a book you would recommend for me to start with? xx

[@DLFH]

One of my absolutely favorite places in Portland to spend a good chunk of time at.

[@mintel50257]

Omg!!! I’m so excited! I’ve watched every other video posted from this trip, and am so excited to watch your second video from it! 🩷🩷 also, I’m sure you’ve heard of it, and maybe have already been, but as someone from nyc, as much as I love supporting small bookstores, the strand has been my all time favorite spot to get cheaper used books and they have SO many!

[@WendysInspiredReads]

Dude. I would have bought ALL the books 😂

[@annasullivan6758]

girl I live in Oregon and the amount of money I always end up spending at powell’s is so much😭 it’s so worth it though

[@cassielovesreading]

This was such a cute vlog❤❤❤!!! I hope that you all get to do another book vlog together!!! Love y'all😁

[@JustAli]

Still dreaming about how many books Powell's had! So glad we got to experience Powell's together!!

[@oliviamoulton6534]

Awesome video!!! Couldn't click fast enough to watch!!!

[@openlybookish]

Powell's is bookworm heaven. Did you guys go have coffee at their coffee shop I think on the second floor?

[@AshlynnCalee]

Noooo! I was so sad, we ran out of time but definitely next time! Is their coffee good?

[@annmariesloan8406]

Been there in 2019. Definitely want to go back

[@amiliaeaton7906]

Living the dream 😍

[@NovelsWithNicole]

[@calista.1204]

[@parapilot]

[@ZkL92]

"The largest Barnes & Noble by square footage is the store located at 105 Fifth Avenue and 18th Street in New York City, which covers 154,250 square feet and has 12.87 miles of shelving. This store is also the world's largest bookstore, according to Guinness World Records." IDK if thats accurate was just curious after watching this, but good video!
