    I don't usually do this, as I consider myself a silent viewer, but oh boy, I need to share. I remember stumbling across you, Morgan, in late 2019. (It was your Cozy Reading Vlog) I was going through a terribly rough patch in my life, everything and anything from financial security, starting my undergraduate, self-worth issues, you name it. I used to watch bookish videos(and still do) as my little relaxing time. I decided to use such a bar instead of scrolling through my subscriptions.
    I came across your lovely video and instantly became enamored with you. With your natural curiosity, bubble personality, raw and open feelings, and childlike wonder, I knew from then that you needed to become a staple in my everyday life. I remember looking at your subscriber count and seeing a number between 2-3K. I can't quite remember. And as you have said, numbers don't matter. However, I thought it was crazy that someone with such artistry and pure magic to create a video so comforting hadn't reached mass recognition. I remember saying to myself, "she's gonna grow and spread love and hope everywhere she goes." And Mo, you've done it! I have seen your ups and downs over the past three years, and wow!
    I am so proud of you and everything you have accomplished. You are truly amazing and a true inspiration! I am forever grateful to have you in my life. You have taught me to respect and value myself, to take time for myself, and breathe.
    All that being said, my fellow Scorpio (our birthdays are a day apart), don't forget to take time for yourself. Feeling stuck is okay; remember to take your time and have breaks. Also, you are an incredible videographer, but don't outdo yourself! You are human, and humans deserver detachments from even their favorite things on earth.

      Hi silent viewer, what a wonderful message, I got goosebumbs am I'm not even morgan! At times I found it easier to say beautiful words to another person than to myself. Thereby I want to say that you are a beautiful person too!! ❤ Maybe you're now in a better place than how you described it those years ago, but I just wanted to say this to you!

      @@MorganLong I agree with everything Liv said. Although I personally found it a bit hard to identify my life with yours, your magic still managed it's way deep into my heart.. I also just wanted to add that with you, bubbliness and child like wonder feel natural in contrast to other TH-cam channels ( like darling Desi) where they try super hard to showcase something you naturally have. It feels fake and fabricated, the excessive raindeer-y makeup and the childishness, faking excessive reactions to simple things.. it's just not the same as the natural stuff you channel so keep that in mind. I would love to see movie recommendations from you sometime:) doesn't have to be cozy it could be anything as long as you liked it!! I wish you a warm loving end of the day ❤️

    I'm not a commenter, but I wanted to say that I love your videos! For my recent grad school course, I wrote a final paper about how you have used your TH-cam platform to build a warm, welcoming environment for subscribers. It was so fun to rewatch your videos and look at the analytics/data that support how much you care for subscribers (and vice versa). I got an A on the paper 🙂 Thank you for doing what you do and I’m enjoying vlogmas!

    Soooo good to see that folk are still buying beautiful books to read, and not just using the computer to do so. There is nothing quite like the feel of a real book, and the pleasure of turning the pages. We all need a bit of that magic you talk about Morgan, every day, so important to keep us alive and happy! Love and Blessings to you, beautiful girl, from a cold Devon, England - snow forecast for midday , yepee! xxx

    Dear Morgan - please don’t ever feel that you need “perfect” videos. I look forward to your Vlogmas every year. They inspire me and bring me calm. I’m loving the format this year being more authentic. And the message at the end from a viewer really hit home. There’s so much social media pressure to have a perfect life, and we inevitably compare ourselves negatively to others that seem to have it all together. It’s so important this time of year to be your authentic self, understand that your life may not be like others on social media and go wit( the flow for you. Being truly present is the gift I hope to give myself and m6 family this Christmas.

    Morgan thank you so much for your videos! This past year has been a challenge and right before Thanksgiving I was told, along with my 5 co-workers (I am a chaplain at a hospital) that our positions were being eliminated, with our last day being December 31. Your videos have been a respite of calm, joy and peace in what has felt like a chaotic year. I read Wintering at the beginning of this year as I was recovering from surgery and it was exactly what I needed. I also read The Christmas Bookshop last Christmas season and it was a true delight (just like all of Jenny Colgan’s books). Once again, thank you for bringing your videos to all of us!! Merry Christmas!! 🎄

Roo is so cute and sweet and the magical Christmas decor looks so cozy in your home! Thank you for this comforting video! I think I am going to look for Snow and Rose to read this year. I've seen it in so many of your videos and have always wanted to read it. 🎄

    @melissathompson8944 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Can't wait to hear your thoughts on Red Rising. I've never read it but it's quite popular. Also, I really love your book recommendations! They seem to be oh so cozy (my TBR gets bigger and bigger every day). I'm all about things that make life cozy especially as it gets colder and darker. I remember coming across your videos back in early 2020 and I've been a loyal viewer since then! A couple of videos that comes to mind is "BOOKSTORE VLOG || Powell's Shopping on a Cozy Rainy Night" (Peppermint Tea is one of my Favs!) and "READING VLOG || Jane Austen's 'Emma' & online book shopping". I'm so happy I came across your channel! Your content warms my heart!

    I had my German friend in northern Germany embody hygge when I have visited her both in summer and in winter. It is amazing when you truly FEEL how to stop, enjoy, and relax in the moment. The breakfast candle says it all. (By the time you light a candle at breakfast in winter, you have stopped long enough to enjoy the moment.). Enjoy the holidays!

    How wonderful the feeling of waking up and knowing that Mo will upload a video oh gosh love! It makes my day before it even starts. Also i loved this vlogmas where you suggest us books for Christmas 🎄 holiday. And omg it's always like that when thay ask for a song,book,band etc you like froze and forgot everything you know i hate when this happens because i have so much to say and i don't but when i go back home i am like "ahh i should have said that or that". Moreover one book that i read on xmas is that new J.K Rowling 'The Christmas Pig' it's the new one i have read it last year and i loved it! Well it's for kids but still it is really good one. Lat but not least, all of these holiday voice messages give me so much strength and i feel stronger to continue the rest of the day, thank you! ♥ ♥

    84 Charing Cross Road is an amazing story and the movie with Ann Bancroft and Anthony Hopkins is great as well. If anyone is traveling for the holidays, it is also a wonderful audio book. I recommend "The Gift of the Magi" as a short story to read at Christmas time.

  • @Starrysong
    @Starrysong 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love 84, Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff. I have read that book several times usually at least once a year for the last several years. I have read quite a few of your recommendations in this list. The Story of A. J. Fikry made me cry, it was both sad and wholesome.

I don't remember the exact titles because I borrowed them to my local library a few years ago but it's easy to find them and it's very pleasant to read during this time of year ! The Christmas athmosphere is definitely here !

    Lovely to see Little Women on that list, Morgan. My three nieces are the loves of my life. This year for christmas I'm giving them classics I liked as a kid (and still do). I'm giving Little Women to the 10 yr old, The Secret Garden to the 8 year old, and Heidi to the 5 year old. When The Secret Garden arrived, I found it so beautiful I had to get a copy (in that specific edition) for myself. It's the one illustrated by Inga Moore and it is a work of art.

    Hello Morgan,
    Wintering by Katherine May is a phenomenal read, so absorbing, it will be a book you will return too again & again.
    Another book I love to read in the Winter & Christmas is The Christmas Chronicles by Nigel Slater.
    So pleased you received your Powell’s Gift Voucher.📚🎄❤️

    I recommend Jenny Colgan's Christmas books! I'm almost done with The Christmas Bookshop which has a cameo from the family of Bookshop on the Shore (would spoil a plot point if you read the Christmas one first though). Also if you like hallmarky Christmas mysteries I recommend the trilogy from Jacqueline Frost, I listened to them all on audio and it was such a fun time!

    Thank you Morgan. I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate you and your sharing your life with me. I am an elderly handicapped person who has been confined to my home for close to twenty years. Spending time with you, Landon and Roo brings so much joy to my heart.
    I loved "Hygge Holiday"!!! Hygge has been a tremendous blessing to me!!!
    I have had my eye on "Wintering" and would like to get it. I hope you enjoy it!
    Thank you for sharing your favorite books 📚 for the winter with us! ☺️
    I love reading the book of Luke's account of the birth of Jesus Christ from the Holy Bible. He is at the center of my life and the reason why I celebrate Christmas. ☺️💕
    I also really love a beautifully illustrated children's book called "Annika's Secret" about a little girl from Sweden and Christmas celebrations in their culture.
    Another very old book that is marvelous leading up to Christmas is "Elin's Amerika". It is about a young girl and her family who immigrate to what was then called Amerika from Sweden. It has all kinds of interesting happenings that inform the reader of what the early settlers thought of coming to the new land and their lives during that time. Christmas is the climax of the story.
    Thank you again!!! 💕☺️

    Hi Morgan! For the most part I hardly comment on your videos. I enjoy the cozy vibes though. I just finished reading the Little Princess. It's a little different from the movies of the story. But it teaches you how to overcome adversities. I'm also a fan of the classics. I love Little Women, and the March Sisters. I'm also into all historical novels & romances too, especially the Regency & Victorian eras.

    🥰 I normally watch one of your videos as I wake up and go about my day because they make me feel like I have a friend with me to start the day together and this morning I was surprised by a new video you uploaded 😍 loved the bookstore and your goofiness when you transform slip ups into a part of the video. I actually love these sequences so much, they make me laugh a lot^^ Goofy Morgan is a mood XD I can relate so much and I am so glad you bring her out ever so often!

    Highly recommend watching the 84 Charing Cross Rd movie as well! A well done adaptation of the book.

    I know I'm late to this video, so I don't even know if you'll see this comment, but I wanted to recommend a book to you!
    Strength in Measure by LaKaysha (Elizabeth) Stenersen. I can't remember if it's on Amazon under her last name or her middle name, but it's a book written by a local to you!! Inspired by real places and happenings in her family, though it's fiction and set in a fictional town in Oregon. It's a Historical fiction about a family and the effects WWII had on them and their hometown. Very heartfelt and definitely a tear jerker, but I couldn't recommend this book enough! It can be found on both Amazon and Barnes and Noble (online). The author has also come out with a sequel that really brings the story together!!
    Merry Christmas, and God bless!! 💛

    Me and my husband read the Red Rising series and it's absolutely incredible! Pierce Browns writing is amazing! It can get kind of gruesome in the later books, but hopefully you like it :)

    The ocean at the end of the Lane by Neil Gaiman, while not really a festive book, it feels so magical and I found myself enthralled by the story. I always think it is hard to beat A Christmas Carol. Dickens is after all the man who invented Christmas.

    Thank you for your book recommendations ❤I have many children's books with adorable winter illustrations. At Christmastime, you want to read them again and again. And all the books about Harry Potter must be re-read. They have such a magical atmosphere. Just what I need for Christmas 😊✨
