BOOKSTORE VLOG || Powell's Shopping on a Cozy Rainy Night

Hello, Friends!
*If you can, please support your local bookstores during this time! My two favorites (Powell's and Annie Blooms) are in danger of having to shut down permanently because of the extreme loss of business.*
Annie Blooms Website: www.anniebloom...
Powell's Website: www.powells.com
Don't you just immediately feel at home in a bookstore? No matter where you are in the world, in a bookstore you can surround yourself with your most favorite and familiar characters, melting boundaries of time and space ✨ Landon and I spent our rainy Saturday night in THE LARGEST Independent Bookstore in the United States-- Powell's City of Books. This is my happy place in Portland; I could easily spend multiple consecutive days exploring the never-ending maze of books.
I'm currently shopping for and planning my 2020 Reading list-- please feel free to share your favorite books with me!
I'm so very happy you're here. Thank you for watching :)
Hugs,
Morgan

[@MorganLong]

A wonderful bucket list item!

[@odelyalevy]

Me too. Definitely. Where is it? Do you know? I want to get lost there.

[@joannk.2557]

@@odelyalevy It's in Portland. :)

[@odelyalevy]

JK K oh my gosh. Wow. Thank you. I need to visit Portland just for this. I think I born with a book attach to me. This is my world. Looks like lots of fun.

[@joannk.2557]

@@odelyalevy You're welcome! It's a really fun to explore in there! Another AMAZING one is The Last Bookstore in Los Angeles!

[@naomihoward437]

This is going to sound weird, but watching this, the night sky and seeing you in a book store, makes me feel at home

[@MorganLong]

That is a most wonderful compliment!!! I’m so glad my video makes you feel at home 📚

[@SchokoN]

not weird at all!!

[@dakotaa1429]

Ikrr its so homey

This bookstore looks absolutely stunning! This vlog was so aesthetically pleasing

[@MorganLong]

Thank you so much!! It really is the most amazing bookstore 📚

[@kaelynmulford5817]

Morgan Long hi love. do you know if there is any similar book stores in massachusetts or pennsylvania??

[@chandhinibedancing]

Yall so wholesome I could cry.

[@FashionChaletNET]

I agree. Reading a book on a screen is NOT for me. I love the smell of books too. And I miss just going to bookstores every weekend to browse & shop. Not now... :( can't. World is so different. It's sad. xx

[@amberrey1145]

I would kill to have a bookstore like that in my area. We dont have any here.

[@no_below_5138]

Yea same I live like an hour away from one

[@happyface4711]

Go to a resale shop and sorry you don't got any bookshops.

[@nyunnya9303]

in my area? i don't think there are bookstore like that in my country

[@larissaprates1384]

[@stevedavenport1202]

Fly to Portland. You could spend two days inside the store. Day 3, go see the city in all its Portlandia weirdness 😀

[@teresaharris-travelbybooks5564]

I could go into that store, and never be seen or heard from again.

[@MorganLong]

Seriously, same!

[@stevedavenport1202]

They would smell you after 2 weeks without showering, so you would be found 😀

[@rebecaa7482]

It’s like the Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory of book stores! How did I not know this existed?! 😮😍

[@stevedavenport1202]

It is and so appropriate that it is smack in the heart of Portland.

[@kafkawiththesea]

wow this was so cozy to watch. makes me want to curl up in a blanket with some hot chocolate and a book. i loved this vlog!

[@MorganLong]

That sounds lovely! I think I'll do the same ☕️✨

[@silkegehtyoutubegarnichtsa892]

Best you can do these days to come close to that vibe! Even public libraries allow visitors/costumers no longer than 30 minutes these days! :crying: I do see the point, totally, and I haven't even cared for 20 years - guess you do miss most what you just can't have. Ask me again in one year. :P

[@LordHeadcheez]

I'm a long haul trucker, and every time I end up in Portland, I make sure to stop here. I usually take a day off, have breakfast at Fuller's, then spend up to 6 hours just chilling here. It's a wonderful place!

[@sarahgould]

My lovely English teacher used to take my class on field trips to Portland, which is 2 hours away from where I live. We used to see plays at the Artists Repertory and Portland Center Stage, and when we saw a play at AR, we would wander around the Pearl District and everyone always defaulted to Powell's. It was always so beautiful. Watching this brings back so many memories, and I wish to go there again once it is safer. I love it so much, I always found so many amazing things, I always had fun with friends, and this video really reminded me to cherish the memories I have.

[@rodneyadderton1077]

I could be in that bookstore all day and still want more.

[@le7516]

Me too. I really love this bookstore. !! Thanks for this.

[@Ashthegrey]

Oh the bookshop on the corner is such a fun read. Was excited to see it

[@Simone-xb3fb]

Love this! The one copy of Harry Potter with the amazing noses was Finnish! Those are my childhood copies, amazing to see them somewhere else aswell. Happy spring! xx

[@MorganLong]

Hi, Simone!! Finnish! How very amazing :) Hugs to you xx

[@LauraAbbd]

I hope i get the chance to visit this place one day. Also ron’s hair on the cover of camara secreta made me laugh

[@MorganLong]

I hope you get the chance too! Isn't book cover culture so funny?? Ron's hair is fabulous ✨

[@Raindrop2424]

That bookstore is amazing 😱 and you were right the first Harry Potter you showed was the german one. It‘s really weird when books I just normally find in my bookstore show up in the translation section in other countries.

[@MorganLong]

Thank you so so much! Book cover culture is so funny! Really ours are the abnormal ones and the Britain covers are the originals. Have you read/seen the illustrated versions? AMAZING.

[@nattbenson]

Worked at Powell's...we try to keep children's/middle grade books of all translations in the children's room so that bilingual or non-English speaking children don't have to go to a whole other room. It makes it more inviting for the kids.

[@stevedavenport1202]

One interesting element is there used book buy counter. They divide into a reject and accept pile. You store the rejects away ASAP so that, when they are done, you clear out quickly to make room for the next seller.

[@DesiDoRead]

Just lol'd at !5:55 because I could see Landon in the glass of the door getting that shot with the camera of you exiting! What a great guy! I'm a new subscriber going through all your videos! Just stumbled upon your channel one day and I am SO glad that I did! Love it so much!

[@aprilchang2467]

Hello! Love this bookstore vlog absolutely! I’m a Chinese, so I notice that the third HP version you picked up is actually a Chinese translation one, we read just like how English books are read, starting from the first page, left to right instead from the last page, haha, still very cute you thought how we read from the back ;)

[@taylerwilson1682]

Not sure if you'll read this, Morgan, but I wanted to tell you that your videos make me feel so quiet. Something about your voice, your smile, and the general wholesomeness of your content makes me feel energized and calm all at the same time. So, thank you!

[@MorganLong]

Thank you so much, Tayler!! You've made my day

[@josefinacachuela272]

This came up in my recommended and I clicked on it because of how much I miss my monthly Powells trips. I live in Portland and I have been going to Powells since I was a toddler, truly a magical place!

[@ronaldsmith6237]

Which Powells is this one in Portland?

[@Heather-oj7ps]

I love this video. A cozy rainy night browsing the shelves of a bookstore is magical and comforting.

[@musicissmylife0511]

I LOVE USED BOOKS! they each tell their own story on its own...just love it

[@catfish9539]

I’ve just discovered your channel. Love your videos, your so sweet. Your enthusiasm and excitement about walking around a book shop makes me want to stop binge watching your videos and go and dig out a book!! I moved from England to Canada 10 years ago, bought allot of books with me, many of which I’ve never read, then had a child and have barely picked up a book since. I’m going to go and find one! Maybe I will start with Harry Potter again!!

[@bumbleb4158]

This is my first video of yours, good to have a Portlander in Booktube!! Powell’s is THE BEST ❤️

[@katiechristman3215]

It's unlikely that this midwest girl will ever make it to the west coast but this bookstore is what dreams are made of 😍

[@MorganLong]

Thank you so very much

[@frybreadpwr]

so glad you popped up on my recommended page!! this was lovely 💕

[@MorganLong]

I'm so glad you took the time to watch my video!! Thank you

[@sarahdippity]

I remember Powell's well. One of my all-time favorite bookshops!! Everywhere I go, the first things I Yelped for are ... BOOKSTORES!! I know how you feel, Morgan!! Glad to have discovered your channel today. I was searching for "BOOKSTORE VLOG" and there you were!

[@MorganLong]

This video make me feel so nostalgic for back when we could travel and go anywhere before the virus. It’s such a cozy and happy video and it makes me just another level of calm 💕💞

I have literally never been so happy watching a vlog in my life. This is the ultimate dream.

[@AleksandraRoxien]

When you pulled out the map I nearly started crying form excitement!! This bookstore is sooo big it needs a MAP! That’s my heaven!

[@justherebecausethatsall3095]

I am 2360 miles away from this amazing bookstore. It’s now on my bucket list to go there some day

This bookstore is a dream come true!! I hope you make it there some day soon : )

argggg this looks like absoloute HEAVEN and bliss....

I love how this bookstore is so big you need a literal map. A bookworms dream.

[@Sainthood.wav1]

I seriously enjoyed the "soundtrack" lol 🎧

[@themoontomyconverses]

A friend brought back a Powell's bookmark from when she visited for a writing convention. I use it in all my reading now, even though I've never been. Someday I'll make it there and spend the whole day just wandering amongst books. (Also, I just found your channel and have already watched several videos back to back to back to back...not only is your cinematography beautiful, but so is the tone, your puppy, and your reading montages...basically I love it all).

[@MorganLong]

I just love their book marks! I have SO many. What does yours look like? I'm excited for the day you get to spend the day at Powells 📚✨ Thank you sooo very much for being here and taking the time to watch and comment on my videos-- I'm so glad you appreciate the many different pieces that make up my videos, it's the best compliment! (and special thanks from Roo 🐾)

[@deepagusain1214]

Just loved it!! Can we appreciate the girl? She is damn nice and beautiful. Her voice is so pleasing. And the bookstore wow!! Unfortunately, in India we don't have that much bookstores or libraries but surely gonna visit them once this corona thingy is over. Just loved u and stay safe❤

[@musicissmylife0511]

Yes the that harry potter one was in german😍 childhood memories i remember my brother went out on the night one of these books came out at midnight to buy it here in germany and they were gone like 1 or 2h even though the book store is like 10 mins away but like EVERYONE wanted to have it...its such a beautiful childhood memory for me whem they came back home and my brother was so happy and my dad SO done cause he was tired and was sorrounded by kids for 2h straight😂

[@Sofia.Ernest]

I'm reviewing this video three years later and getting the same pleasure :) It’s the wonderful place!📚 Thanks 😊

[@chandramoore9342]

I keep going through your Powell’s shopping vids... it’s making me miss it there so much! After quarantine this is the first place we’re going. Thanks for being wonderful ❤️ Omgoodness I can smell the bookstore from here!! It’s what I hope heaven smells like 🤣

this was so torturous to watch while being stuck at home and not being able to visit any bookstore. also there's no such beautiful gigantic place near me. it is a dream to visit Powell's Bookstore. It is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing this.

This is like the Willy Wonka Factory for book lovers. Now Portland is on my travel bucket list! 📚

[@atticusmasselink]

This bookstore is my #1 happy place. It is absolutely beautiful.

[@imawatermelon1439]

I loved Powells books when I went. In my 6 day stay in Portland I went 9 times. I didn't even want to go the first time because I thought it was pointless but I was urged to go. I loved it so much, I bought 20 books. And thanks to them they turned me from a 6 book a year reader to 52 book a year reader (One a week).

[@MorganLong]

That’s AMAZING!

[@carlyb6873]

This was so comforting. In a time where I can’t walk among a great big bookstore with no covid concerns, this lightened my spirit a bit.

[@ПолинаКорнева-щ2з]

I have never seen something more cozy than your vlog! I'm from Belarus, and, offficially, you're my favorite blogger from this moment! 💖

Goodness gracious. This bookstore looks like paradise.

[@dojipengin]

I've just wanted to say that I had a really rough day and found this video because it was in my recommendations - I didn't look for it. It's like youtube knew what would lighten up my mood. This video made me calm and feel warm inside. - Just like another commenter put it: It made me feel at home. Plus, it has shown me a place to travel to, once the current pandemic quiets down. Thank you for this video!

[@rachaelbird9250]

I have loved having a tour round Powell's book store with you guys. I could probably spend hours in there.

[@merrylittlebexmas1358]

I just discovered this video (and your channel) through my recommended videos and I am so thankful for the algorithm today! This is the most wonderful bookstore vlog I have ever seen! So relaxing, and aesthetically pleasing, and the music you chose! Thank you for being you I needed this today! 💗

[@marekgajownik6972]

when i have a bad day,i always come back to this vid with tea, and just relax :]

[@Sage920]

Easily the best bookstore I've ever visited. The Strand in NYC is great, too, but it feels cramped and congested at times because of the large crowds and comparatively limited space. Powell's is *MASSIVE* and it's very easy (and fun) to get lost in there. It's one of several mandatory stops for me whenever I visit the beautiful city of Portland.

[@shre9]

That's heaven ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Adding this to the bucket list

[@Kate-pw2ju]

This bookstore is amazing! Hello from England, I actually live down the road from where Jane Austen frequented and where I believe there is the only statue of her in the world so it did make me smile when I saw this part

There's no bad time to visit Powell's, but it does seem extra perfect to visit on a rainy night. And, omg, how did I NOT know there was a journal section!?!

[@MorganLong]

I simply have to visit the journal section every time I go!!

The harry potter one with the mouse is the Italian one! The illustrator wasn't given any information about the story but that the protagonist was a kid and that at the school they could bring an owl or a mouse, she also designed another cover before that one where Harry had no glasses and (I believe) red hair!
