    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.
  • @whitneybrade

    Morgan I hope that everything is okay. It's been a while since your last video.
  • @erikak6728
    Please make puzzles of your art! I would love that!

    I think I speak for everyone when I say: PLEASE do a puzzle!!! ❤
  • 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!

    📚📚📚 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 💕
  • Morgan, I paused your video and purchased Olivetti. When I was eight years old my mum brought me an Olivetti type writer. I have wonderful memories of mum teaching me how to type. So I just ‘had to have’ this book. Thank you for sharing and I went straight back to your video 💛
  • @FunnySpruce
    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.

    Nothing better than lounging by the pool reading a thriller. Happy Summer!
  • Dear Morgan, it's been a while since we've heard from you, are you doing well?
  • 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❤
  • 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.
  • @KristenMelissa
    Oh my gosh yes!! We need this puzzle! 😍💕📚🌸 What about a seasonal puzzle collection?! for each season ✨️🤗💖
  • 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!
