Im so jealous of how you can head to Powell's whenever you want... Went there last yr and fell in love with it!

When Debussy's Arabesque No. 1 started playing I was startled as I have been practicing that over the last month, thought perhaps I was hearing things.

Can I just say you and your boyfriend has such a calm and focused energy. The video is so nicely done, edited and the fact that you gave shoutouts, you stole my heart 🥺😍

Your sweater looks so warm and cozy lol, I love it. Also, that bookstore is amazing. I miss living near a bookstore that large.

[@MorganLong]

I love this sweater so much because it is sooo comfortable and fits well! In fact, it's beginning to look a little worse for the wear because it's so worn...I don't know what I'm going to do! I hope you find some hidden smaller book gems 📚

[@nab5356]

Hey Morgan, you have no idea how much i love your videos and how much they've helped me. These past few days hasn't been that great and watching your video honestly makes my entire week better. I don't feel alone and it feels like you're there with me to let me know everything will be alright. Thank you so much

Thank you so very much, Nab✨ Your words mean an incredible amount to me. You are never alone and everything will always be okay

Love this video and you!! Very happy you are starting a book club. They all look like such great books. I’m in a book club that actually meets tonight and I’m reading Dear Edward for another book club but I’m going to add all of these to my TBR. Sending lots of positive energy from Maryland! 💗💗

Yaay another video! I went book shopping as well yesterday and got two Virginia Woolf books fro 'class' (just a good excuse hehe), a short story by Ocean Vuong because I enjoyed his debut novel On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous and another Sally Rooney book because I enjoyed Normal People. I read both of Erin Morgenstern's books, and if you enjoy the Starless Sea pick up her first book The Night Circus, it's also magical realism :) Oh and I want to pick up The Great Alone as well, The Nightingale by her has been on my shelf for a while now and I think i will enjoy it because I love historical fiction! Happy reading!

[@MorganLong]

Woooooowww, I'm positively geeking out over all of these books! I've made a note of each to see if I also want to read them. Thank you always for watching and commenting on my videos Leonie! Happy reading, fellow bookstore adventurist! 📚

Morgan! The Great Alone is great! I read it in the hospital this past spring. SO ENJOYED it and still think about it!

You were the other person who commented on Tamar's recommendation and said you loved it!! Now I'm even more excited to read it. I'm so glad it brought you comfort while in the hospital

[@themoontomyconverses]

Ahhh you're reading my favorite magazine, and I'm also in the middle of The Starless Sea! I love that you brought us along to see you pick-up book recommendations, as well; it makes this new tiny community feel cozy! Much love xx

[@MorganLong]

I'm so glad you feel cozy here! Did you love The Starless Sea? Also, you have a wonderful username 🌙

[@themoontomyconverses]

@@MorganLong I'm still in the middle of it; reading it is both incredibly enjoying and nerve-wracking. I love Erin Morgenstern's first book, The Night Circus, but I felt that the ending wasn't as strong as the first half of the book. Now, I'm loving the first half of The Starless Sea, but I'm hesitant to read too quickly in case the end also isn't as strong. Eeeekk! Also thank you! I still need to change the photo to make it moon related, but I love it (even if it is super long)!

[@MorganLong]

I didn’t read Night Circus, but I’ve heard many great things! I’m 50 pages into the Starless Sea and I know exactly what you mean about being incredibly enjoyable but also extremely nerve wracking!

[@iliarenee]

This is such a calming vlog! I love it so much and I hope you love all these books 🥰

[@MorganLong]

Thank you so much Ilia!! I just watched and really enjoyed your latest "come book shopping with me" video-- what a quite, unassuming storefront that's MAGICAL when you walk inside. I love how they arrange their books horizontally rather than vertically. Happy reading 📚✨

[@txspacemom765]

I've been binge watching your videos and the "Starless Sea" keeps coming up, so into the cart it goes.

[@eagann92]

that bookstore looked so nice! i love seeing these types of videos because i only really have a few used book stores and barnes and nobles near me haha. also i haven't been going out much due to social distancing so it's nice to be able to see others do it so i can live vicariously through them. p.s. i _love_ Wuthering Heights! it's one of my favorite books!

[@anne-lisenogue9656]

If you're interested, have a look at the story behind The Little Prince. Saint-Exupery was a super interesting person and his book is such a wonderful work of poetry. And yes, it's French! ;)

[@ashleymalone8455]

I recommend “Starry Eyes” by jenn Bennett. It was my favorite read of 2019!💕 love your videos girl! The great alone is also a pretty good book

[@olgahart-antoniadou8461]

Yay, thank you for the mention! I hope you find Guardians somewhere! I'm always sooo inspired by your bookshops visits! I visited a bookshop yesterday and got ''The Confession'' by Jessie Burton - i've read and heard so many good words about it, can't wait to start it! I'm currently reading ''Rules For A Knight'' by Ethan Hawke (also has beautiful illustrations) and i absolutely love it! It's wonderful when bookshops have used copies of books. Wuthering Heights is one of my favourite books ever!!

My favorite January read was The Starless Sea. It was very well written. I started out with the audiobook, and ended up getting the beautiful physical book at my local library. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@MorganLong]

MsV Fab in Fourth I loved it too!! I’ll likely download the audiobook at some point and I now hope to read Morgenstern’s other book this Fall!

[@dantecoronado1643]

Morgan, no sabía que estabas leyendo el principito! Fue mi libro favorito de pequeño. Una de mis frases favorita es: “Solo con el corazón se puede ver bien; lo esencial es invisible a los ojos.” Y el dibujo de la serpiente que se comió al elefante me da mucha risa :) No pares de practicar tu Español. Muchos saludos para ti, Landon y Roo!!

[@MorganLong]

ahhh me encanta esta frase! Y estoy de acuerdo contigo sobre la serpiente-- me encanta lo prácticos que pueden ser los niños. La vida es demasiado compleja! Estoy editando nuestro vlog del fin de la semana! Te extrañamos 🐾

[@randomvidz5315]

I suggest you guys to read "The Earthlander's Prediction" it's written by a 14 yrs old. You should support the young author it's an amazing book set in a winter wonderland kind of setting so you guys will love reading it in December cuz its winter. It's a fantasy fiction available on amazon.

[@mackenziestorjohann6779]

My favorite book is a tie between “Stella by Starlight” I read it in 4th grade and I still love it and the other book is “The 3 Willows; The Sisterhood Grows” I read it in 6th grade and again one of my favorites.

[@Raindrop2424]

Really cool that you want to read the hidden life of trees. I haven’t read it yet but it was made into a movie/documentation which is in the cinemas here right now. And I’m going to watch it soon so I may pick up the book after that. 😊 Also great Vlog 💖

I just found your channel. I have added some of these titles to my want to read list. The first video I saw you were in Texas (my home state) and talking about moving to Chicago.

[@VictoriaPichel]

Hi, Mo! (yeah, I took the liberty of calling you Mo since I already feel your friend). I'm still catching up on your past vlogs, as you can see, but I'm dreading it because once I get to the first one... there's no more to binge watch! well, at least until you upload a new video, that is. Forgot to tell you something bookish. I'm from Argentina. Last December, on my first venture out of town post lockdown, I travelled to a nearby seaside town and went to a tiny second hand bookshop, just to browse, and to my surprise they had a few books in English. I found 'In Patagonia' by Bruce Chatwin, which I always wanted to read in English (because Spanish translations are awful to me, we do speak a slightly different version of the language here). On his way to Patagonia, in South America, Bruce passed by my area! and it is mentioned in the book. But that wasn't all. When I flicked through the book I found a receipt and it had been bought IN POWELL'S! (the West Burnside branch) in January 2002!!! The book also still has the Powell's sticky label with the barcode on the back cover, AND the previous owner - some Jeannie Moretti - had embossed some pages with a beautiful seal with her name and a cute horse. I felt so lucky to have found such a precious treasure and I still wonder how on earth that book ended up here, thousands of miles away. I dream about visiting Powell's now :)) xx

[@Cpark1401]

I love Matt Haig, I recently listened to his Memoir "Reason to stay alive" it was beautiful.

[@MorganLong]

Charlotte Parkin I bet it’s BEAUTIFUL. There were so many lines from “How to Stop Time” that I had to underline and keep forever because they are so beautiful and profound.

[@laurendavis7251]

My favorite trope is viruses and plagues (even before covid), and I read a trilogy called the Remade series. The books are titled Plague land though. The best series I have read!!! It is very unique and complex yet gripping. I have never seen any recs or mentions of it and I know it’s not popular, but I really recommend it. The first book is called Plague Land by Alex Scarrow. The second one is called Plague Land: Reborn and the third one is Plague Land: No Escape

[@candelasantiago2840]

Hi! I’ve seen many of your videos and realized you read books in Spanish! I really do recommend you to get “Mi planta de naranja-lima” (by Jose Mauro de Vasconcelos). Not only is it written in a beautiful way but also, and most importantly, the story and message behind the plot is great! Love from Argentina 💘

Hey, This is my first time watching your video, I love it, I’m a fan and you got yourself a new subscriber. I don’t know if you are going to read my comment. But still I have some recommendations for you. I don’t know if you are into Russian Classics, even if you are not, I’d still be recommending you to get and read some ‘Fyodor Dostoyevsky’ books, like, ‘The Idiot’, ‘Crime & Punishment’, ‘Notes From Underground’, ‘The Brother Karamazov’ etc. Get any of them or any other Dostoyevsky book, I promise you’d love it. If you don’t I’ll send you the money that you have wested on the Dostoyevsky book. According to me and many others he is the greatest Novelist of all time.

Leí 'Cumbres borrascosas' hace un par de años y no me gustó: me parecía una relación muy tóxica y el odio de Heathcliff me superaba. Sin embargo tengo muchas ganas de leer 'La inquilina de Wildfell hall' (quizá lo haga durante el 'Victober' de este año) y hacer justicia a Anne, la Brontë olvidada, y, según algunos, la mejor de las tres. Llevo tiempo buscando una copia en español de 'El circo de la noche' sin éxito, porque aquí está descatalogado. Estoy cruzando los dedos a ver si, ahora que se ha publicado 'Un mar sin estrellas', vuelven a editar el otro y así me leo los dos; que también tengo muchas ganas. He echado un vistazo a la sinopsis de 'Cómo detener el tiempo' y me he enamorado. Lo he apuntado en mi lista TBR y no creo que tarde mucho en hincarle el diente. Aunque la prioridad en febrero es 'La orden del Fénix' (terminé 'El cáliz de fuego' anteayer con lágrimas en los ojos) y como son casi mil páginas me tendrá bastante entretenida durante buena parte del mes. Me encantan tus vídeos. Y ver cómo Logan siempre apoya tu trabajo, me hace sonreír. Qué majete :)

[@MorganLong]

Quiero contestar tu comentario completo; por eso, permíteme escribir en ingles: I agree with you about Wuthering Heights, but I wanted to read something by Emily as I tend to favor the other two sisters. I've never read "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall" but I'd really like to! "Agnes Grey" was my very first introduction to the Brontë sisters, so Anne holds a special part in my heart (I also always get Anne whenever I take a "Which Brontë sister are you?" Quiz). I also love "Villette!" I really hope you get your translations of the Erin Morgenstern books-- I'm so excited to read "The Starless Sea." I'm reading "How to Stop Time" this weekend in a readathon and I'm very much looking forward to it-- I'll let you know what I think! I'm so so soooo glad the Harry Potter books have settled themselves into your life! They only get BETTER AND BETTER with each book!! You'll cry many tears (sad and happy). Landon thanks you :) Have a wonderful weekend! 💕

I love Amazon too ♥️ 🛒 when it comes to books 📚 they have it together & so Many books that there's never enough time to read them all. but you can also get the hardcover version or the paperback. the problem with the bookstores is they haven't kept up with technology because E commerce is growing exponentially. that is why Amazon is so popular.
