I hope this video has brought you comfort today. Know that just by being here and choosing to spend your time watching my video, you've made me SO happy. I love these cozy, indoor reading days and am soaking them all up before the summer weather officially hits and we say goodbye to the rain. RoO is determined to reach King of the Couch status before we're all outside all of the time 🐾
Let me know if you decide to read "The Vanishing Half." I'm totally sucked in! It's a page turner for sure. So raw, so real, so important. I'll link Bennett's instagram below if your curious about her other works:

When Roo got on the couch and acted like nothing was wrong I couldn't stop smiling he is the sweetest lil thing
Hahaha Roo has taught me the many merits of determination and persistence! I'm so close to just letting him be King of the couch 🐾
Loved it
Morgan, your cinematography is always so marvelous! You put so much love into each shot, and it truly shows
Thank you so much! I have so much fun filming these videos and I completely forget myself when I'm editing, it's wonderful!
I love how intentional your reading is. So glad I found your channel during Covid Lockdown in England they are wonderful.
Thank you Terri-Ann (what a lovely name)! 🌼
Here in Chile we are entering the winter, just today it is raining wonderfully!🌧💕 Thank you for another beautiful and cozy vlog, much love☕
The rain can be SO beautiful and calming 😌 I hope you enjoy a very cozy day and night ☕️ Thank you always for watching Belén 💕
I'm from Chile too! hahaha I suscribed today! :)
I love Chile so much. ❤️ Been there quite a few times.
Your dog watches every move you make!!! He is going to be so protective of you as he grows older!
Your life looks so relaxing, happy & full ♡ your videos are filmed so beautifully. I struggle with anxiety & body image/self esteem issues so its nice to see people who are just happy being themselves and who are enjoying life, i hope to get there one day too xx
You gotta say "off" with some level of conviction. LOL LOL My dog, Kari, was exactly the same. She was like, you're not really expecting me to get off, right? You're my pack...I must be with my pack!
Beautiful as always! Roo on the couch is hilarious. I remember when we tried to keep my pups off the couch. I failed. It’s their couch now. I love the mug as planters idea. I have too many mugs but I love them and won’t throw them out. Now I can repurpose them!
Thank you!! Hahaha I've learned so much from Roo in lessons of persistence & determination. He's totally winning the couch battle. I happy for you and your future plant family 🌱
Gorgeous vlog. So relaxing. As an autistic person your vlogs help my sensory issues. So know you have made a big difference in the daily life of one autistic girl. ❤️🖐️ Me. Thank you.
This is so cosy! 😄 and Roo is adorable. These vlogs are so chill and I can see that your community is slowly growing too! 😍
I bought The Starless Sea after watching a video of you talking about it btw and I'm so glad I watched that video because I wouldn't have known about that book otherwise and now I just cant put it down! 😍
So thank you so much Morgan for yet another cosy vlog and for introducing me to The Starless Sea I absolutely love it! 😍
I'm so glad you're enjoying the Starless Sea, Martina!! And really thank you so much for watching and appreciating my videos 🤗
What perfect timing: I came into UA-cam to watch a cosy vlog and you had just uploaded! 💖So happy for you to have such wonderful sponsorship opportunities! Love the idea of a book subscription service! I know my local bookshop does a similar thing, but personalised and you can gift it to other people - the perfect bookish gift. 📚 The Vanishing Half and A Burning are books I had my eye on, but was intrigued to here about the others too.
I couldn’t help but giggle when Roo went halfway off the sofa and then when he stuck his nose in your book - very cute. 💛🐾
Oh my goodness, I love what your local bookshop is doing!! I would certainly sign up! How wonderful it is to be able to receive a new book each month 💖
Monsieur RoO gives his most courteous of bows (ever one for fine manners) 🐾
Thank you so much for watching my videos, Beth 🤗
This presentation of a reading vlog is so beautiful. It's peaceful and aesthetically pleasing. 😊
Thank you!!
Morgan, I am in a job anxious about it and my manager and I wish I had a more supportive manager because that makes a difference. I like how you shared you felt the same and now are doing something different
your vlogs are perfection, they're always so cosy 💛 your plants are lovely! and yes, nothing better than a cup of tea to start the day 🌿🥰
Your editing is amazing, friend! 😊
I love your houseplant content. It gives me all the cozy feels 🌱💚
Congratulations on your partnership with Book of the Month, that's so exciting! And what a fabulous selection to kick it all off with! Roo with his front legs on the floor, back legs on the couch and head resting on your legs was simultaneously the cutest and most hilarious thing! As always, this was such a wonderful cosy video, friend!
I clicked so fast! 😂 I love your vlogs so much!
Hahaha thank you so much, Liv!! 🤗
That intro might be the most calming thing I've seen all week. Loved it
I really love how peaceful your videos are and can tell you put a lot of time in to them. Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much the reading books recomendation.
Good Morning !!! I was so happy to see that you had uploaded a video and as always it was charming. I loved that little VW Bug you put your plant in. So cute!! That Roo being naughty getting on the couch and then when he was like halfway between one section and the other, hilarious. I was excited to see Book of the Month was sponsoring the video!!! Happy Reading, Friend.
Hello, Shana! My mom actually gave me the VW bug mug and I love it so much! Hahaha RoO has so much character, doesn't he? Thank you for being excited for me 🤗 I think my next video will be another Read with Me with more music ✨
@@MorganLong I can't wait!!!!
I am watching this video as it’s raining a lot outside! I love rain it’s so peaceful 🍯 Thankyou for this video the aesthetics are gorgeous and the editing is stunning 🌙✨
Ahh, i just LOVE a good rain!! Thank you for appreciating my video, Maisy 🌼🌿🤗
I’ve never seen ANYONE sponsor book of the month quite like you do. It’s just so beautiful. I hope you partner with them more often because books
Still painting while I watch, still loving your videos so much ❤️ gorgeous cosiness, what a lovely day you had. Enjoying the rain as well. So many people moan about rain, but I love it too. Great partnership as well, all those books!
You have become my favorite booktuber!!!! Your videos put me in such a relaxed mood!!!!😍😍
Ahhh, thank you Emily!! This is such a compliment 🤗
When you hear a plant had an accident and audibly gasp like it's the worst thing ever. Congrats on the "offspring" lol, a silver lining! The Vanishing Half sounds incredibly interesting, especially given that I am a lighter skinned POC and can say that I have experienced some truth in that premise. Roo's moment was too cute. He's clearly a rebel.
The Vanishing Half has been so very eye opening. Absolutely shocking, but in a very necessary way. I look forward to finishing it this weekend!
Hahaha would you believe rebel RoO was the cause of the plant Skip's accident? We're all very relieved there was a silver lining 🌱🐾
OMG Roo warmed my heart and reminded me so much of my Cocoa Bear! "Off? I don't know that word! But look at how cute and snuggly I am!" haha so sweet. Also the plants in tea cups are super cute.
Awww that was just lovely 🤗
the couch situation made me laugh out loud!!! its so enjoyable to see you being all cozy and calm! what we need these days to counteract the real world at times... take care!! x
Hahaha I’m so glad!! Roo makes me laugh out loud every single day- such a goofball!! But also very serious and brooding. I love him with my whole heart 🐾
Thank you Leonie ❤️❤️
The best way to keep Roo off the couch is to put a treat or something he loves on the floor next to the couch while you're sitting on the couch. In time he will make the connection. 😆
Hahaha, very good advice!! Most of the time he's good about not hopping up on the couch but he goes through the rebellious phases and has taught me the many good merits of determination and persistence 🐾
@@MorganLong lol...too funny. By the way, I have been a Book of the Month member for about two years now. My first book was The Great Alone! Congrats on your partnership!
Thank you for sharing this magical day with us! It's a rainy day where I am so this was just perfect 💓
The perfect cozy vlog and reading weather!! I hope you've had a wonderful rainy day 💕
This is absolutely your most lovely vlog to date, so many beautiful details. And better yet it’s a story too. I lived in this day and it makes me appreciate it that much more! 💛
Thank you soooo much, Lan! And thank you for never minding when I film or when I’m totally absorbed in my editing bubble and am completely antisocial. I love you so much 💛
watching your video and reading the comments, I think we have a community of people who love warm/lovely days, good books, mr roo, and of course, your channel! :)
It’s seriously the BEST community ever!! I moved all the way across the country 2 years ago and that was a time I felt very very lonely. Now, I feel I have so many friends! Seriously, you all make me feel so light ✨💛☀️
Yay sponsors!!! So happy for you ^^
Thank you!!
would you be kind enough to list all your favorite teas, also a quick tour of your home looks amazingly super cozy! love your videos!!!
I have been watching your videos all afternoon and i think it is safe to say i have found my new favourite channel. It is raining here currently in the UK and your videos have made me want to curl up with a book even more so. I love to read, especially on days like today and your content has made me feel so relaxed and calm, which has put me in the perfect mindset to do just that. Thank you for making the videos that you do, they are helping me so much and i just love what you do so i will definitely keep watching xxx
Welcome, sweet friend! I raise my tea mug up to you☕️
Roo 💙💙 You 3 are such a sweet family!
Another warm and lovely video, Morgan! Had my coffee, watched this, and now I’m ready to start my day. I think a hike is in order. ❤️
Wow, a hike sounds so lovely!! I’m glad to be a part of your morning 💛
I’m a Book of the Month subscriber too!!! For this month I chose Home Before Dark, The Last Flight, and The Chestnut Man! Since my sister is a member too, we share them!! I love what you said about unplugging and reading! That has been my quarantine and 2020 goal!! As always your videos are cozy and truly feel like home. I will never stop saying that!
You’ll have to let me know what you think about those!! I may read The Last Flight sooner rather than later but I’ll probably save Home Before Dark for Halloween 👻
Thank you so much for appreciating my videos, Lauren ❤️
once again, I am touched by the sensitivity your videos concey. thanks a lot
Thank you, friend! 🤗
This is lovely as always! 💛 I'd really love to start taking care of a plant onf my own too! Also, those books sound amazing 🥰 and roo is the most adorable dog ever!
Thank you so much Frederica 💛
Ah what a good idea to use the mugs at pots for plants! I’m totally using that idea because I have a couple mugs I was going to get rid of but reusing them for plants would be perfect!
Just make sure they have small holes on their bottom so the water can have a way out 🥰
Roo has my whole heart! What a handsome boy 💗
Daaawwww, he’s flattered!! Thank you Ana 🐾💕
I look forward to your videos so much!
Thank you Phoebe!!
Hi! I’m so glad to have found your channel💕I love to watch your videos first thing in the morning with a cup of tea to start my day. So calm and cozy and just plain wonderful. Looking forward to the next one! Amazing job💕 P.S. ROO such a sweet boy
Your videos are so relaxing! I just got home from a long day at work...I work at a very busy veterinary clinic so this is the perfect relaxing moment I needed 😍
I'm so so glad my videos are a comfort to you after long days at work! Thank you for taking care of all our furry family members 🐾
I'm so happy you are working with Book of the Month! The Last Flight will also be my first thriller. They had really great picks this month. Loved your cozy vlog! Hope you are doing well!
Thank you so much, Amanda!! I’m really excited about all of their June books (even the spooky one, hahaha) 📚 Lets hope we can get through this thriller with brave faces 😅
i am in love with your videos
Hey! I just want to say that I really love your videos. They help me to relax and just enjoy my time. I also really like your takes and the song you put in your videos. Lots of love from Brasil

Thank you, friend 💕
Morgan, this vlog was so relaxing! Thank you so much for these uploads during this crazy time. They help me relax and focus on my breathing. I must say that the sound of pouring rain is one of my favorite things in the world, it is so soothing. I was wondering, would you ever be interested in doing a house tour? Your home looks so cozy and I think it would be interesting to watch :) keep up the great work.
Hi, Caroline!! Thank you so much for this kind comment, it's made me take a few deep relaxing breaths. I do agree about the rain ✨
I actually have a house tour video already! I filmed it in December and the audio isn't the best, but my house hasn't changed at all since then (minus the Christmas decorations).
omg Roo!!! secretly I was rooting for Roo being on that couch!! such a sweetie
I instantly got happy when I saw this! Loved it!
Im so so glad!! ☀️

I love your dress, it's so cute!

I love your vlogs they are so relaxing💕...I ordered the yellow Coffee Mug, I seen from one of your previous vlogs from Powell’s Books and recently received It and I really didn’t think it could be even more beautiful then it was when I first saw it on your vlog but it was 🥰

Your videos spark such a perfect balance of motivation + relaxation. You have a serious talent ❤️
Congrats on your partnership, yay!! Can’t wait to see more in the future!
Just finished the vlog ❤️ I love to cozy up my feet under my partner’s legs as well 🥰
Do you have any videos about Roo? Where you adopted him and such? He’s just a well behaved boy, I’d love to learn more about him ❤️
Thank you so much, Sam!!
That’s a really good idea about making a RoO video. His story is very interesting. He’s had a tragic past and has endured a lot and come so far!
Hahaha my feet are ALWAYS so cold. I’m really glad Landon doesn’t mind my snuggling them under him literally always!
Hugs, friend ❤️
Morgan Long aww I’m so sad to hear that about him, but even more thankful he’s happy + healthy in a home with you two 😊
My dog looks exactly like yours and that makes your blogs even more beautiful to me 💕
I totally understand what you mean! I instantly love any dog that looks remotely similar to Roo 🐾
Love love love Roo! He's hilarious! 😍
I love your videos and look forward to them every week.
Thank you so much, Sakeya!!
@@MorganLong your welcome
Your editing is perfect dr I love your vlog I'm your new subscriber . Hello queen💐💐💐💐 love from india🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Roo is so cute 🥰 I've seen so many reviews lately of The Vainishing Half, I can't wait to read it myself 😊 I also love your combi van mug, too cute 🤗
Hahaha RoO is positively blushing!! 🐾 Thank you, Sarah! I really hope you enjoy The Vanishing Half 💛
your videos are some of my favorites!!❤😍
Thank you so much, Emmy!
Perfect day!
I agree!
this was so relaxing to watch 💕
I'm so glad! 🤗
This video was amazing, as usual. I love all your editing skills. Also, it was great seeing Roo in this video, what a cutie!!
Thank you always, Talia!! Monsieur RoO sends his highest regards 🐾
I love how calming your videos are, especially during this time in the world. Would it be too much trouble if I requested you include the music titles in the description? If not, it’s alright. :) x
Thank you so much!! I get many questions about the music I use. I download songs from a music licensing site called Artlist. Unfortunately, when I download the songs they don't always include the name or the artist. A lot of the songs aren't available on Spotify or iTunes either. So, to help with this I made a 1hr Read with Me video with my favorite songs from my videos. I'm actually making a new one this weekend with more songs!
Morgan Long I understand! Thank you so much. Looking forward to the 1 hour Read with Me videos. 😊
Coul you link your Spotify? I love the music in your videos ❤️❤️
You are amazing
