Hello, friends!
Don't you just love the coziness of an independent bookstore on a rainy night?
There's a special kind of magic that comes from wandering (with a steaming cup of tea in-hand) through all the worlds, realms, and realities of your most favorite characters ✨
Thank you so very much for being here! I hope you enjoy this night spent book shopping with Landon & me ❤️
BIG hugs,
Morgan

Ahh I really want to go on a date with my husband to a bookstore now 😄 We both love books, we have a little library in our home with more than 5000 books 😊 Our children love books too. Going to the library in our city is such a treat for my family. Then cosy on the couch reading books under a blanket with candles on. We love it so much (and I think that is why our children love to read too). Greetings from the Netherlands

🥺😭 I was so emotional while filming it because it really did feel like a tribute to little Mo with nothing figured out! I remember wanting sooo many books when I filmed it back in 2019 but literally not having ANY money to buy them. I was sweating at checkout. Not all growth is financial…it just felt so good to be back, filming the same video, but in a much better place within my life. Like if I could go back and tell 2019 Mo that in exactly 2 years I’d be here…I would have balled my eyes out. Anyways, thank you so so so much for being here since the beginning, Rhiannon friend- you’re one of a very special few ❤️

I would spend hours at that bookstore. Thank you for this vlog ❤. I've read 12 Agatha Christie books so far and these are my TOP favorite ones: Crooked House, Five Little Pigs, A Body in The library, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, and of course her most famous novel And Then There Were None. You could start with the latter.

Landon did a great job with that beginning shot, I felt like I was in a theater for the first time in years. I wish we had a Powell's where I live, but I live in a small country city that doesn't have much in the way of bookstores and only one small library lol, but I love it regardless. I love Agatha Christie, but personally And Then There Were None is my favorite.

Agatha Christie recommendations:- All of them!!! In all seriousness , the ones I would recommend for someone who is beginning on their journey with Agatha Christie's books would be The Mysterious Affair at Styles (her first book), The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, Death on the Nile, The Murder at the Vicarage, The Body in the Library, The Secret Adversary, Partners in Crime, The Man in the Brown Suit (my favourite!) and 4.50 from Paddington. Just to name a few! I'm a very big Agatha Christie fan and have read all her books and love every one!

Your first Powell's video was how I first found your channel. Rainy night's at Powell's are my favorite time to visit. (Also, parking is easier, LOL). I think showing most of the rooms really helps your viewers get a sense of the size of the store. The first few times I visited I felt like I was in an M. C. Escher painting, or maybe the scene with the stairs at the end of the movie Labyrinth. I've read a handful of Agatha Christie. Right now I'm reading Midwinter Murders, which is a collection of her wintry short stories. I'm really enjoying it and it might be a good way for you to try out all her different characters and see which of her series will most appeal to you.

A little Princess is such a great book and beautifully written, I also highly recommend The Secret Garden and Little Lord Fauntleroy if you haven’t read them yet (they are by the same author, I’m also currently writing my BA thesis on those two books :) I also love Agatha Christie and I highly recommend the Partners in Crime series with Tommy and Tuppence which is great and not as overwhelming because there are only five books in this series!
