Would absolutely LOVE a puzzle version of the illustration! 🩷
Thank you!!
Me too!
Agree with this comment! would love it! 😍
I've been watching you for 4 years now and every time you have a new video my heart leaps with excitement, thank you friend for creating beautiful things for others to enjoy 🌻🌺🌼🌿
I agree, I rewatch her videos regularly ☺️
I feel the same when I see you’ve left a comment! Thank you for being the very best viewer on UA-cam, Kasia friend 🌻
Me too! Especially all of her Autumn and Volgmas videos❤
Thank you so much, Eve friend ❤️
This means so much to me! ❤️
Hey Morgan, I can't help noticing it's been longer than usual since we've heard from you. I really hope you're well.
Please make puzzles of your art! I would love that!
Thank you!!
I think I speak for everyone when I say: PLEASE do a puzzle!!! ❤
I hope your okey Morgan I've missed your regular two weeks videos 😢 I just want to check on you !
Need more Morgan!!!
Agreed!! Reading outside on a nice warm day with a bit of breeze, especially in the early hours, is such a nice thing to do :). Love your artwork- you're so talented!
Morgan I hope that everything is okay. It's been a while since your last video.
📚📚📚 THE PASTURES OF HEAVEN, EAST OF EDEN, THE WAYWARD BUS …JOHN STEINBECK stole my heart 40 years ago, when I was 15 years old and as I text this I’m looking at my exact same bookshelf with the exact same beloved books I read during my teenage years … These books were old when I gifted them and I just sink back into my dog bed made for people and inhale these precious books - there is nothing like the smell of an old book, especially one you have had for most of your life ! It smells like your life and an old library- intoxicating ! So if you say you’ve already read John Steinbeck, have you reread John Steinbeck in your 20s, 30s, 40s, every decade it’s like reading a new book, because I’m a new creation and I see and relate to new things each time. Oh how I love the classics … I savor them … Mark Twain, DH Lawrence, William Faulkner …I think even Tom Robbin’s is a classic now - Even Cowgirls get the Blues … Oh yes, you beautiful sweet pixie angelic young lady, I truly hope you take a trip thru John Steinbeck again and again … get these books, get ‘em old and keep them and when you are 55 like me, you’ll understand. You are absolutely wonderful, been watching your channel with my daughters for years. You also look like family to us, I’m like she could easily be one of my daughters. You are just precious ! You have shown me some very fun books that I have truly enjoyed, thank you. We recently did a Tour De France 🇫🇷 puzzle ( off Amazon ) it was 1,000 pieces and came out sooo gorgeous we puzzle glued it and framed it for Grandpa who we did this puzzle with for his birthday, so what a memory for us all ! I’d buy any of your art you made into a puzzle, it’s a great idea ! This Tour De France puzzle was retro and just looked so good framed ! Enjoy th red sheer genius of John Steinbeck Pastures of Heaven - it’s harrowing and utterly beautiful ! Much love 💕
Dear Morgan, it's been a while since we've heard from you, are you doing well?
Jenn McKinlay has a library cozy mystery series set in New England that I love. They have something called Crafternoon, where people bring the craft they are working on to the meeting room at the library and enjoy some treats, and talk about books. There is also a romance through line like there often is with cozies.
Nothing better than lounging by the pool reading a thriller. Happy Summer!
What a great cozy video. I am a kindergarten teacher off for the summer and appreciate getting some cute little reads. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos. It's funny even though I am just a bit into my 50's...we have a kindred spirit.
I would love a puzzle!!
I love it when you film in Powell's!!! I think I would spend every weekend there if I lived in Portland. What a magical place❤
I would love puzzle versions of your art!
I am catching up on your videos and recently watched the one about having fun. As a 30-something yr old mom of 5 life can feel so busy and full (which I am super grateful for!). But lately I have been very intentional to read in the evenings, take time with special skin care, make fun sparkling water drinks during the hot summer days, go to a bookshop, save my daily sweet treat to have in the evening chatting with my husband, and painting my nails more… things like these. It has made a huge difference in my energy and attitude! We all need a little fun and joy in our lives, even if it is setting aside just 10-15 min a day. Excited to watch this bookish video!
If think you would like Anne of the Island, the third Anne of Green Gables Book. I read it last week, very cosy with a slow romance, lot´s of nature descriptions, a cosy house...
Oh my gosh yes!! We need this puzzle! 😍💕📚🌸 What about a seasonal puzzle collection?! for each season ✨️🤗💖
I think you'll enjoy "Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop" a lot. It is such a beautiful book about healing, one of my favorite books of all time.
I’m so glad to hear this!
I’m so happy to see you Morgan💛
Puzzle would be awesome, I’ll buy that!🦋💜
Board game night with friends is so much fun, and yes Wingspan is a wonderful game. It is one of my favorites ❤️
Thank you for inspiring me to create my own channel and share videos in hope of creating a community and of becoming comfort for people like you are comfort to me ❤️
As a Finn, my heart always does a little joyful leap when seeing Tove Jansson in the wild! I hope you love The Summer Book - it's a beautiful work. 🌻🧡
Same here! Although I did giggle at her pronunciation! :)
It's such a joy to watch your videos. I'm dealing with a lot of sadness and worry right now bc my mom just had surgery to remove her kidney cancer and now she's on the way back to the emergency room in fears of infection in her abdomen. Thanks for putting a smile on my face and yes I'd buy the postcard in puzzle form for sure!
I love the idea of puzzles!
I’m Jessie, the subscriber that met you this last week at the beach! 😊 It was so great to meet you. I just love your videos; they bring me such encouragement.
I love this summer reading video! I feel like this summer especially is the summer for reading. I’ve been spending so much time reading while soaking up the sun! And one of my favorite vegan and cruelty free nail polish brands (Olive Ave Polish) released a summer polish collection based solely on books!📚 😊
Jessie!! I was hoping you would comment. You taking the time to stop and tell me how much joy my videos bring you meant the WORLD to me. Also your timing couldn't have been better-- I was with Landon's parents and they don't take my business seriously/see the value in it. It was such a Cinderella moment to receive such wonderful affirmations in front of them! Again and again, thank you ❤️
Sending you light and Love, friend ☀️
@@MorganLong aww I love that! I’m so glad it was serendipitous and meaningful-I meant it! I’m sorry they don’t take your business seriously; I hope you always know how much joy you bring your viewers. 😊🤍 Thank you for not minding me stopping you. I didn’t want to interrupt your evening, but I was just so excited to see you in person!
That would be a great puzzle!
I just finished One True Loves-it was so emotionally intense but I love love loved it! ❤ Happy summer reading!
I was just thinking that the art you showed would look great as a puzzle and you immediately mentioned the possibility of doing it as a puzzle. I got into "puzzling" recently, I've done only two puzzles so far. 😊
I really hope you‘re okay Mo and just take some time for yourself or something like that ❤️
I recently went to Oregon for the first time! So beautiful there! We went to Powell’s and it seems like I just missed bumping into you! Love your videos Morgan🩵
Great vidéo! ❤️🌸 I looove playing wingspan. Earth, dixit and canvas are also other cozy one
I would definitely recommend Everdell for a cute and engaging game!
💛🌻
Puzzle would be amazing 🤩
That would be an amazing puzzle ❤
Such a cozy video 🌼 Some cozy British Authors I love are Libby page, Clare pooley and Freya Sampson - I LOVE all their books 💕
I would love a puzzle version of that one and a few others!!
Agreed 😊!
Oh my goodness as soon as I saw that illustration I was like id love that as a puzzle 😍
Ahhh, I’m so glad!!
Right now I’m making my way through the Agatha Christie Midsummer Mysteries collection and loving it! I’m so excited to read some contemporary romance novels this summer ☀️🫶🏻
Your art is beautiful! A puzzle would look great!!!
I love your summer reads!
I did not make a list for mine yet! 🤗
Morgan you need to read The Grace of Wild Things this summer!! ✨🤍🦋 this video was so cozy and magical, thank you for taking us along!!!
Earth to Morgan, come in Morgan,
Can you hear us Morgan..
MORGAN!
Right now I am reading "Frederica" by Georgette Heyer. I will probably go back and read the Beatrix Potter Cottage Mysteries by Susan Wittig Albert. I read them last summer and I think they are going to be my summer tradition. I miss those characters the way you miss the characters in A Court of Rose and Thorns!
Watching them makes me feel calm and relaxed. I have also started making videos of myself reading books. All of them are Japanese books.
Oh yes plese! Make puzzles of your beautiful art ☺️ And maybe you could make smaller puzzles for example like minipuzzles or 200 piece puzzles?
Morgan, your post card is beautiful! Have a blessed week!
This was such a refreshing video! Thank you so much for creating magic!
I have a couple summer books I want to read that are set in Scotland. I also want to read more romcoms and poetry this summer!
I feel youu! I finished the acotar series and can’t read anything now, nothing compares like you say 😅 waiting for my throne of glass to be delivered 😇
I’ll be there tomorrow with my cozy blanket and heartwarming cup of peppermint tea❤️
You’re the best ❤️
@@MorganLongAwww thank you Morgan friend❤️ I just added several of the books you mentioned to my tbr list. I’m definitely most excited with Love at First Book too. Have a wonderful weekend😊
P.s. book store my fav to tag along💙📚
A silver lining in my cloudy week
⛅️❤️
I would love a puzzle version of your beautiful illustration ❤
very good choice to get the summer book from Tove Jansson. Greetings from Finland!
Morgan, I love your videos so, so, so much! Your's is my comfort channel and my biggest inspiration for being my authentic self and doing what I enjoy. Thank you so much for doing what you do. The world is a better place because of your sunshiny soul! Much love! 💛
Another wonderful video. Thanks for sharing 🤩 I’m currently reading Fourth Wing and Before the Coffee Gets Cold ✨
Hey Morgan! I always get _so_ excited to see you have posted another video!
I wasn't ever a romance kind of gal, but I'm in the middle of the seven year slip by Ashley position, and I am so pleasantly surprised. the writing is poetic and whimsical, it features a magical apartment, an eccentric Aunt, New York City, and a publishing house. my kind of romance book hehe
Ooooh, I have this one and will definitely be reading it!
I would absolutely love these through puzzle forms. I'm not a patron right now but I would definitely buy the puzzles if you have that as its own thing. I would love all the seasonal ones to be puzzles, examples, something with pumpkins, something for Christmas. I would love those as puzzles.
Thank you for this heartwarming video💜
I’m loving the Throne of glass series, am in the middle of the series. Also started ACOTAR recently cus I love ToG so much. Other books that have my heart are Divine rivals and it’s sequel Ruthless vows💜✨
Hope you all have a cozy summer💜
Oh I do love your bookstore vlogs.
Portland is on my travel bucklist now just so I can visit Powells
i would LOVE a puzzle version of the illustration!!
Hey Mo!
Both my husband and I screeched when you mentioned Wingspan. We bought that boardgame last year and we absolutely love it! It's a nice game to play, you can be competitive, but you can also just build-up your own biomes (filling it up with birds and laying eggs) and the artwork is truly breathtaking. Other games we have / played which I saw you walked passed in Powels are Dixit and Azul. Both great games aswell...Dixit is a very great game for visual players!
A boardgame UA-camr I like to watch is The Boardgame Garden, she makes videos on different boardgames and it's nice to watch her videos if your trying to see if you'd like a game or not.
In regards to reading, I'm currently rereading Spin the Dawn by Elizabeth Lin...I just bought the second book in her series (Unravel the dusk) and I'm absolutely loving rereading it. It about a girl pretending to be her brother, because in the world she lives in only men can be master tailors...and it has a bit of magic in as well.
It was so lovely watching your video, hope you'll get into the reading vibe soon.
Lots of hugs,
Your Hobbit friend.
I think your illustration would make a lovely puzzle!
This might be more of an Autumn/Winter book. I recommend Death at Gallows Green by Robin Paige. It has history, mystery and romance. Who could want more? And there's a well known character in there by artistic license.
Morgan, I've been following your videos for two years now, and its been an absolute joy to watch you and your channel grow. Your vlogs are such a gift for me at the end of a tiring day 💚
I love your bookish videos! It’s so nice to find out we share some all time favs: The House in the Cerulean Sea, The Night Circus, and The Starless Sea ❤ I also love your flower mug!!
If you would like a book recommendation im going to recommend A Fellowship of Bakers and Magic by J. Penner. Its probably on my top 3 best reads list for me this year. It was wonderful, full of pastries and friendship and love and learning to get through imposter syndrome which i struggle with a lot. I loved it. And i love when you go powells it looks like the type of book store id get stuck in because I'd want to look at everything!
Happy summer reading!
I love to read ocean themed books in the summer, such as The Sea Captains Wife and The Light Between Oceans which are two that I have to read every year and will never be taken out of my summer favorites collection! Happy summer reading to you Morgan!💕
I would love to have a puzzle of your months postcard! Such an adorable idea!
Morgan!! It’s so great to watch a video on time again! These last few months, I’ve been busy with school but now that it’s summer, I can watch all your videos! I’m trying to have a very Morgan summer and this video was a great way to get in the reading mood! Much much love 🫶🫶
So good to see your name again, Emily!! I hope you have an absolutely amazing Summer, wild & free and cute & cozy 🦋
Just finished Just For the Summer by Abby Jimenez and it’s a perfect summer romance ❤
Speaking of a book about books..." the lady in the library" was such a hit for me.
The post card would be so good as a puzzle, I would definitely buy it 😍🧩
Another cozy fun video! 🤗🌺☕📚
I recommend Vespertine! It was next to Powerless, and also a Scorpio book, but I love everything by Margaret Rogerson. I just finished rereading her novella and I honestly was thinking about rereading Vespertine even though it isn't a very summer vibe.
Thank you for another beautiful video :) Some of the books I hope to read this summer are: The summer I turned pretty by Jenny Han, Always only you by Chloe Liese, The Kamogawa food detectives by Hisashi Kashiwai, The girl who drank the moon by Kelly Barnhill and A closed and common orbit by Becky Chambers 🌻🌼🌿🦋🐞
Hi Morgan. I bought the Throne of Glass series. Excited to read it. However I’m still busy with Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros so decided to read something different before I jump into the Throne of Glass series. I chose ‘The list of suspicious things’ by Jennie Godfrey and ‘A flicker in the dark’ by Stacy Willingham. Enjoy your books. 💗
I’m so happy. I’ve really missed your book vlogs.
I don't know how to explain this but your videos feel like the happy parts of my childhood.
This is the absolute best compliment! Thank you so much, friend ❤️
Loved this cozy video! I really enjoyed it and would love it in a puzzle form, would definitely purchase it 😄😍
Make sure to remember any lies you ever told and to share food with the homeless and never lie reverse all lies ever told.its very important for you
A Psalm in the wild built is a great book. I have only seen one person talking about it on UA-cam. Totally underrated
pleaaase we need puzzle, not only of this print, but also of the other prints ❤
The scent keeper by Erica Bauermeister
I love Taylor Jenkins Reid. I preferred Evelyn Hugo to Daisy Jones. Just reading Malibu Rising and im loving it x
I looove The Summer Book! ♥️🌿 Welcome to the HD Bookshop was a lovely read for me. ♥️🌿📚☕️
Please make it a puzzle!!!
I love the idea with the puzzle. I actually thought that about all of your postcards 😊
Gorgeous illustration-very talented Morgan.
I just finished reading "If the Tide Turns" by Rachel Rueckert & really enjoyed it. It's a historical novel on Pirates & colonists in the 17th century post the witch trials. It's based on a real pirate named Samuel Bellamy & a strong willed girl named Maria, the girl he loves.
Puzzle! 🧩 omg! That would be amazing! I would definitely buy it!!!
Hey😊 I just moved into my first appartment and as exciting as it is, the past few days have been pretty hard. I've missed my family so much! And watching your vids and reading books makes me feel like I'm back at home❤
Yes please, Morgan, make puzzles!
Oh and a really beautiful graphic novel is Continental Drifter! Perfect for summer reading!
Your videos feel like a warm hug in stressful times 💗
💗
What a fun video to come home to! And so inspiring. Loved your book choices … l am soooooo ready for a Powell’s day. ❤️📚❤️
