Hello, friends!
N.K. Jemisin's, "The Fifth Season" absolutely tore me apart! And I enjoyed every minute I spent reading it! This is one of those books that I would not have normally picked up but a subscriber friend, Connie, recommended it to me and I'm so glad she did. I wasn't able to finish the book in a single day because it's so dense, but I did really enjoy adventuring though the first 300 pages on this day with you all (I know you weren't really with me but you were most certainly there in spirit!) 💛
Thank you again and again, 1000x over for being here 💛
Big hugs,
Morgan
P.S. Monsieur RoO sends his regards 🐾

you really are a real-life anne shirley-cuthbert!! this vlog was sooo lovely, i always adore watching your nature walks 🧚✨
Ahhh, I love love love hearing this!! It's a definite life goal of mine to be like Anne 🌿 Thank you for always watching and appreciating my nature walks 🧚✨
Your videos bring a smile to my face, calm to my too busy mind and a spark of warmth to my heart. Thank you for all the hard work and time you put into making and editing these videos, you are appreciated.
Morgan, love the style of your home! The house has so many wonderful features and you have such a flair for decorating. The arrangement on the shelves in the living room is so creative and pleasing to the eye!
I noticed you have removed the tv from the fireplace area. Have you thought about stacking birch logs in there--the light color of the bark would really make the fireplace "pop"!
Love your vlogs!
Thank you so much, Kathy! I love this tiny cottage 💛 Landon is to thank for the shelves-- I wanted book cases but he convinced me floating shelves would suit the space better-- he was so right! I did the decorating but it wouldn't have been the same without his floating shelf suggestion. Hahaha birch logs definitely sound more appealing than television storage!
I need a Monsieur Roo in my life 🐶 Dogs are way too precious! Also - the forests in Portland seem absolutely magical!!✨
🐾💛🌲
Love Roo! What a funny mischievous dog! My husband found him very entertaining. Here’s to summer and adventures 🌻
Hahaha mischievous indeed! So happy you and your husband enjoyed his antics 🐾
Your forest adventure in the middle of the city felt like a dream!! I loved everything. Every new video quickly becomes my new favourite and I can't thank you enough for putting so much heart in everything you do, for your sincere presence and for always being a wonderful ray of sunshine. Thank you dear Morgan☀️💛🌻🙏🌱
Those clips of Roo being naughty with the tree branch made me laugh so much!! 😭 great start to my morning!
Yous are truly my favourite reading vlogs😊📖. The Fifth Season was one of the first 'proper' fantasy books I read & I was so blown away by the depth of the world building that the genre has become a much loved form of escapism for me.
your Friday videos have become such a calming routine for me at the end of the week to get me in a peaceful state for the weekend.
Love, Bee🌻
You always make me want to go on an adventure and I love that as an influencer, you are able to spread good habits! You make me want to go to Portland sooooo badly!!
Omg this is awesome how much I live when you go outside to the forest it's just ....aghh so...magicalllll ✨✨✨❤️❤️I Love this video friend !
Thank you so so much, friend!! ✨✨✨❤️❤️
Your videos have become part of my daily routine. Every morning when I wake up I make a cup of tea and I sit in my cozy chair, and I put on one of your videos to watch. It’s by far my favorite part of my day!!!
Also I love the Roo bloopers 😂☠️
Hahaha he's a little gremlin!
Another lovely video this week to help spark my own little adventures! I love how you said that an adventure is not one without facing your fears❤️🌲
Thanks so much, friend! Happy adventuring ❤️🌲
I love outdoors vlogs 😍 the houses look AMAZING there. Thanks for this new vlog and I really NEED to join your Patreon!
Thank you so much, Flora friend!!
Morgan, YOU, are magical!! ROO is my love dog!!
Thank you Morgan, you remind me to take care of myself and not push working till exhausting. Its so hard sometimes to just stop working. Especially its important to me now cuz I’m suffering from burnout.
Omg my goodness, dinner looked amazing!! After watching yours and Isabel Paige's channels, it's inspired me to make HUGE changes to the way we eat. My husband has high cholesterol and so we've switched to more plant based meals and we all feel so good, even my kids (5 and 2) have been eating more. They're usually so picky!! Thank you for creating such a fun and cozy place for us, your videos are so wonderful :)
You look like you're ready for a safari! What a wonderful hike! Roo's zoomies and attempted collision with you were hilarious! I'm very glad that he didn't knock you over. As always, the meals you make look delicious!. Now I'm off to finally check out the discord a few days late. I'm so eager to see the responses from the members!
I felt like I was in one of the safaris from "The House in the Cerulean Sea"! I'm so excited to read what you write for the prompts! Hugs, Sophia friend ☀️
You make videos , like they are a cozy fairy tail 💞 every time I watch a video, I forget the crazy world and want to read a book😀🤗🌞 thank you. Greetings from The Netherlands
I think this might be one of my favourite videos you have ever done Morgan. Both soothed my soul and awakened my spirit for adventure, all at the same time ☺ thank you xxx
I've come to look forward to Fridays cause I know that's when you upload. What a great video as always, Morgan!
Thank you for watching my videos each Friday, Cristina friend
I always look forward to when you post. Especially your beautiful little vlogs 🤗❤️ there is something that is both soothing and inspiring about the way you share your life.
Every time you post a new video, I think it is my favorite one! 😍 This was so much fun!! It felt like we were with you on such a fun day from beginning to end (oh my, the RoO outtakes had me laughing out loud! 🤣💕). I Love how creative and curious you are with how you approach life. ✨ The idea of taking long walks listening to audio books to get acquainted with the city never occurred to me. That sounds So Wonderful!! Exploring, spending time outside and reading all rolled into one! Haha, I am sure many people do this because audiobooks but I am just having an aha moment here! 😅 I must do this! Thank you ever so much for another inspiring and uplifting film Mo! 💖 I am literally so excited for my day now!! 🌞
Thank you so much for watching and appreciating my videos, Kristen 💕 I'm excited for you and your future audiobook expeditions ✨ And I'm very much looking forward to our forest wandering 🌲 Also, I've been REALLY enjoying the tea you gave me 🌞☕️
@@MorganLong Oh Yay!! Isn't that tea so soothing?! ☕💕 Cheers to future adventures! 🌲🌟💖
Your Awesome...Period...:)...Love the way you teach and connect with people in a positive way...Thank you for all you do...:)
love seeing bits of Portland! Seems such a magical city from your point of view 😊 definitely want to explore it someday!
Thank you!! I love living here ✨
This was amazing, Morgan! You are awesome. Wow, that last portion with Roo, You are so lucky. Whew!
Dear Mo friend,
what an absolute delight it was to watch this reading vlog. The magical forest was my favorite part, the trees seem to always be speaking to you. And the ending with Roo made me laugh so much!!! He’s such a free spirit.
On my side, I have good news!! Today was a day for the books because I GOT VACCINATED!! I was so nervous as I hate needles but it’s a small price to pay for the relief I instantly got. We are doing this. We have arrived here! I can finally see some light at the end of the tunnel after so many months of darkness.
As always, wonderful vlog!
Stay safe, take care.
Love, Laris xo
Dear Laris,
Thank you so so much 💛🌲
And woohooooo!! Congratulations on getting vaccinated! There is most definitely light at the end of the tunnel! Landon and I were vaccinated in early Spring and it's made socializing so much easier! Landon is also afraid of needles so I understand how brave you were being to get vaccinated.
Love,
Mo xo
@@MorganLong I’ve never thought of that as brave but you’re so right! Thank you!! ❤️
Words genuinely cannot describe how much I love your videos morgan
Thank you so so much, Anna friend
The Roo outtakes were classic 😂 glad you didn't get knocked off a 6 foot high drop!!
I recently bought the fifth season and this has inspired me to read it asap.
Gorgeous walk. I'm glad you have Roo - I always worry about my safety walking alone in a fairly remote place. A dog must help x
Its always a great morning when I wake up and see that you've updated a video 😍🌿 it simply the best start of a new day
Bahaha, Roo is definitely a super dog with those flying skills.
Very much a super dog!!
This video was so calming and inspiring. Thank you so much for letting us have a glimpse into your beautiful view of the world, Morgan. 💗 But may I just say... The part at the end with Roo just had me in TEARS! 😂😂😂 I had to replay it about 5 times and I'm still laughing. Hahahahaha!!!
Hahahaha I'm so glad the RoO part made you laugh!! 🐾💛
Roo gave me all the laughs I needed today. You're making me want to move to Portland!
Hello Morgan, thank you for sharing the beautiful forest trails of Portland with us! I love going on nature walks and hikes but have never done so while listening to an audiobook or reading a book. I hope you had a wonderful time with Roo (he is so adorable)! I can't wait for your next video! Sending you lots of love from sunny Toronto, Katarina
Thank you for appreciating another one of my videos, Katarina friend 💛 I hope you're having a wonderful weekend-- sending love from rainy Portland!
Hello friend . . how magical and mesmerizing that forest is I can see why you go there to read and get lost in your adventures . . oh Roo thought he was super dog leaping down like that . . have an awesome weekend ahead hugs and much love to you Landon and Roo ❤🙋♀️🌻🦋
Don’t you just love summer days? I sure do. That forest looks so magical!! I need to take a trip up to the PNW
I really do love summer days!!
I love the music you use in your videos. It makes it feel so cosy, magical and like a fun movie! It always makes my day ☺️
Thank you so much! The artists on epidemic sound are really so talented 🎼✨
Thank you for sharing Roo at the end. It brought a huge smile to my face!! 😊
You bring so much peace into my world with your content.
Thank you
Who better to adventure with than your trusty steed, Monsieur Roo? Your adventure place looks so peaceful and beautiful, I'm not sure I would ever want to find my way back. Well...Maybe when it got dark lol.
I love that you saw getting lost as an adventure, I would be panicking! I would love to be able to have your mindset❤️
It was definitely lightly concerning in the moment but I had my phone and access to a GPS map so I didn't go into full panic mode! Thank you, friend ❤️
Hi Morgan! Thank you for all your beautiful videos you share with us every week. I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Hearing your story about going after your dreams has inspired me to do the same. I’m hopefully going to be enrolling in University soon which is a huge dream of mine for years and years. Thank you! It’s so incredible to have someone to relate to. Lots of love, Bec x
Best of luck for you to reach your dream♥️🤗
@@shana9133 Aw thank you!! 😊
Bec, it's so easy to imagine you achieving your University dream! I absolutely believe in you
Such a cozy videooooo, thank you so much for this energy, Morgan
Haha I really want to buy a big hat now! The music throughout the video really made me feel as if I was also in the forest, truly magical. I also have a book recommendation for you. The newest book by Taylor Jenkins Reid, Malibu Rising. I just finished it last night and I wanted so bad for it to continue! The characters were amazing and the writing style was so captivating. It is a very summery read, the perfect beach read! P.s your dog is the cutest! The name Roo seemed very fitting while watching the last clip haha!
I wasn't sure if I wanted to read that book, but I sure do now!
@@BooksCatsandBathBombs You really should! I loved it!
Thank you so much, friend!!
I’ve made a note of your recommendation, it sounds so good! 📚
RoO sends his regards 🐾
What a lovely episode! My sweet dog (who we lost in February) was named Rowdy Roo so when I see your Roo, it always makes me smile. 🐕
as always, morgan, your music taste is impeccable !! the music you chose for the ~forest wandering~ scenes suited the setting quite perfectly !! it made me want to go into the forest ! sadly, i am a minor, and cannot. someday soon i shall go on nature walks quite like yours !
Oh, wow 😍 Reading in a hammock in the dark looks so cozy! Also, the Monsieur Roo footage was hilarious. 😂
It is so cozy!! And, hahaha, I'm so glad you enjoyed the RoO bits 😂
Always a magical time with you! ❤️
Thank you, friend ❤️
Watched one vlog and well, here I am as a new subscriber. I you seem to oddly make me feel calm on the inside. ❤️
Thank you so much for subscribing, friend! I'm happy you've found. your way here ❤️
ughhhhh you have no idea how much I love your videos. please never stop! andddd omg the last few mins of this video brought so much laughter!
Thank you so much, Vickiana friend
I loved The Broken Earth trilogy! So glad to see you enjoying it as well!
So good!!
This is such a magical vlog. I really looked for something cozy today and your videos always make me happy. It actually motivates me to edit my next video, hehe. Hope you have a wonderful summer!
No wonder Roo was tired when you both got back 😂 My heart literally stopped beating when he ran into you on the tree trunk
Hahaha mine did too!!
My favorite way to read a book is in my hammock!! 🤍✨
It makes the whole experience somehow magical 🤍✨
This is exactly what I needed to start my day. thank you (always) for sharing and inspiring me to live my best life xx
That staircase you found was really cool!
Such a beautiful park to walk around in! Also Roo’s blooper reels at the end had me laughing! 😂 silly Roo! The Fifth Season is on my reading list for this month and you’ve inspired me to pick up the audiobook as well for the tricky names! Thank you 🥰
Morgan I loved this video! I've been a fan of yours for a long time, and today I FINALLY joined your patreon! You inspire me so much! 💕I cannot wait to join the writing challenge!
Love your writing prompts - you have some incredible writers in your group!
I whole-heartedly agree!! Thank you for being a part of it
Hi Morgan, video is so lovely and peaceful as always. thanks for reminding me to go on a trail or hike over the weekend.
Thank you so much for watching and appreciating my videos ❤️
Ahhh your house looks so cosy!?
Mo, this was an Ah-mazing vlog! I love all the nature that is around you!
Thank you so so much!!
We're finally reading the same book at the same time! I'm also reading The Fifth Season. I read her other book, The City We Became and loved it! I like reading Sci-Fi in the summer. :)
Dear Morgan, I love your vlog! It is magical! Greetings from The Netherlands!
OMG!!! I laughed so hard with the Roo bloopers. 😂😂
I live in the St. Louis area and we have a Forrest Park too. It’s a beautiful area as well. ❤️❤️ I’ve been lost there many time, maybe someday I’ll get lost in Portland’s Forrest Park.
Thank you friend for your inspiring video. You are a beautiful human! ❤️
Dear Morgan please do a video about journal/write with me.🙏 You inspired me to write in this video and now I am going to write.😀
Dear Morgan, I just wanted to say that you are a wonder. You are like a fairy that carries the magical powers of serenity and calm. I've been very stressed for the past few weeks because of upcoming exams, but your videos have provided the perfect distraction to my anxiety and your soft, kind words like medicine to the soul. I hope you know you are loved and cherished🍂
Thank you so so much Maheen friend
Another beautiful vlog!! Thank you for sharing!! 💛💛
Thank you for watching, friend!!
The forest and the background score gave me major GOT vibes!
I really wish I could have a friend like you. Not that I dont love my friends but you speak to my soul and your video bring me so much joy and solace that I really would like to be able to tell you exactly what they mean to me and how they make me fell I am not alone
2 years after you posted this vlog and ....I LOVE THIS VLOG SOOOOOOOO MUCH!
THANK YOU ❤
aah I get so excited seeing people reading N.K. Jemisin! I actually wrote my master's thesis on the Broken Earth trilogy so I'm very excited to see what you think of the books ❤️
I laughed out loud at the Monsieur RoO parts. Especially him charging at you with a tree branch.😂😂😂
Hahaha he definitely keeps me on my toes 😂 I'm so glad you got a laugh out of his shenanigans!
Dear Miss Morgan,
Hello friend!!
I hope you are well!! I absolutely loved your last video , the poem written for you was beautiful and mesmerising.Dont worry if your loved ones don't understand your work , because it may not have an impact on them , but it does on us. 💛💛 I am in the half term , so I got the chance to finish my book (woohoo) and Anne with an E. I love how passionate Anne is , and although the show was a bit different to the book , I loved it because it was such a nice ending.Also I'm meeting my best friend my old school this Sunday , and I'm soooo excited!!
Joke : what do you call a sick lemon?
Answer : a lemon aid😅😅
Lots of love and warm hugs ,
Tanisha
Hi, Tanisha friend!!
Thank you so much for your kind words 💛💛 I'm so glad you enjoyed your time with Anne both in the book and show! I hope you have the best time with your friend!!
Here's to making lemonade out of lemons 🍋
Lots of love and hugs,
Morgan
Nice one! Roo is a acrobatic rascal! its funny, I was planning to make buffalo wing cauliflower wings today and seeing your teriyaki cauliflower sealed the decision!
No wonder this is my favorite UA-cam channel 😍😍😍😍
Wow I'm first!! I've been meaning to read the fifth season but haven't picked it up yet! Hopefully soon.
Woohoo, first!!! Thank you so much for being here, friend
I just found your channel yesterday Morgan and it is so lovely! I recently moved across the country and Without a community here in a new city it’s nice to find you tubers that have such cozy and uplifting content.
I'm so happy you've found your way here, friend! I am so familiar with the new city, no friends feeling. It will get better 💛
This was such an amazing vlog Morgan! You inspire me so much and it is such a privilege & delight to get to see your videos every week. Thank you for being a light, love you!💞
P.s. Monsieur rOo is the most adorable 🥺
Those stairs are like a portal to a parallel universe in a Murakami book 😀
I have a German Shepard and could relate oh so well when Roo came running towards you with a big stick, almost knocking you over then leaping off the log 6ft to the ground when he was getting told no, then disappearing into the wilderness! Lol I could go for a full video of a day in the life of Roo! 💛 🐺
Hahaha YES, you totally get it don't you? RoO has sooo much energy and loves to play. He also sees me as another dog friend. Landon's alpha and so RoO listens to and respects him. Me?? I get blindly tackled and jousted on a whim 😂
@@MorganLong I love when our dogs look at us like another dog. I always find it so fascinating to try and understand life through the lens of my dog. I’m so grateful to share my life with my Luna and RoO is lucky to have you and Landon. Did you name him after RoO from Winnie the Pooh? Give RoO a big smooch from me! 💛🐺
I love your style of content. Very cinematic!
Thank you so much!
I had a really tiring day but gladly your video made me feel relaxed and calm. Thank you so much!! ❤️🥰
I hope that today is a better day friend 💛
Perfect timing!!
I'm so glad!
I LOVED the vibes of this vlog 😍✨
I'm so glad!! Thank you for watching!
i love hearing you do descriptions of the books you're reading! i feel like you could sell me on the story of literally any book 😉📚❤️
Thank you so much, Katie!! ❤️
the roo-scenes at the end!
and such nice details on the walk - the plant life, bridge pinecones, plaques., buidings etc ... such a nice area!
That cover of the book though !
Your videos are always balm for my soul
Sending SO MUCH LOVE your way🤗🌟🙌🏼🌸
Thank you!! Sending so much love your way too! 🤗🌟🙌🏼🌸
Whoo! Perfect timing before I start my tasks for the day xx
Thank you for watching my video at the start of your day, Francesca friend xx
Morgan this as awesome thanks for sharing 😘🎉
Morgan’s videos are quite literally what gets me through the work week 💛✨
🥺 Thank you, Gillian 💛
Good morning Morgan, how lovely, magical and intriguing the forest is. RoO had a great time too. Thanks for sharing it.
Hi my friend Morgan I hope you are doing great , the adventure of forest was so good I wish I was there with you, the book you choose also seems great , iam reading currently a little life this book is a heart broken a rollercoaster of emotion last night I stayed late taking notes and crying I've never feel connected and bond to a book like that looking forward to see you nxt time I love you
I love your videos so much!☕️✨💛
Thank you!!
I just moved to a new location. I usually listen to podcasts when I’m walking. However with being in a new area it’s more like an adventure, so I’m going to embrace your idea and listen to an adventure story while I journey out. After I get my bookshelves set up that is. Thanks and hugs to you! 💛
Woohooo!! You're going to have so much fun! I love listening to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone because everything is so new to Harry and he's really brave in how he socializes and soaks everything in. Another favorite is The Hobbit. The Giver of Stars has an adventurous female protagonist! I think The Bookish Life of Nina Hill will be a good one for inspiring us to get outside our comfort zones. Happy adventuring, friend! 💛
@@MorganLong Thank you so much for some great book recommendations to adventure out. I have become a bit shy over the years so listening to those books I think will help me get more courageous to explore more! It’s strange as I’m not shy taking trips (vacations by myself) but if I move that’s when I’m more introverted. I’ll try the last two recommendations as I haven’t read those yet! Harry Potter is a win for any situation for me. Thanks again Morgan! 💛
¡Vaya caminos tan bonitos! La comida 😋.
