Hello friends!
I recently got back from spending a few days in Portland, Oregon and finally got to experience my dream of visiting Powell's City of Books. It's the largest independent bookstore in the world and it truly made all my bookish dreams come true, so I hope you enjoy this book shopping vlog and book haul :) I could have spent days in that bookstore. We actually meant to film another video of our trip to Oregon, but my health took a little plunge again so sadly this will be the only video from my this trip. But I'm hoping to go back to Oregon again later this summer :) There was so much to see and do, it's such a beautiful state! I know it's not Washington but it did give me all the Twilight vibes. It was magical and being there made my heart so happy 😊
I hope you enjoy the video! Have you ever been to Powell's? If you're a book lover, it's definitely a place to add to your bucketlist 📚💗

When Jared said "You're so cute when you get excited about books" I thought that was the sweetest thing I've ever heard. But then he said "Run free, pick all the books you want" and now I know what I want in a relationship. Unlimited support for bookishness. :P Seriously, though. I hardly ever comment on videos but your videos always make me feel happier and more at peace. And that is not something that's easy for me. So thank you, Desi. For always making videos that highlight how to find something good and bright even when a lot seems dark.

Hello, i'm 16 and got diagnosed with dyslexia at 12. Reading has always been hard for me. But I watched this video recently. I have never thought about reading being fun. It was always just to read a text book for school. But I thank you for shedding a new light for reading to me. I have an audio book account and i'm starting to read for fun for the first time. i'm reading to all the boys I've loved before and next I plane to read Anne of green gable. once again I want to thank you.

2-23-24 Although this video is dated one year ago, I'm just now seeing it after it came up in my feed. Loved the video, and I was so happy for Desi to see that Powell's posted a comment. Very kind and thoughtful of you. I've always wanted to visit Powell's, and when a co-worker visited your store while on a trip to Portland a few years ago, I gave him money to get me a Powell's tote bag. Living vicariously through Desi, I got to truly experience how much of a book lover's paradise Powell's is. I could easily plan an entire trip around multiple visits to your store, with each day spent exploring a different section. THAT would be a dream vacation! 🙂

Back when I was a kid I wanted to go on a 'shopping spree' for Christmas. My mom got me a $100 gift certificate for our local mall. I thought I was the richest girl in the world. I blew the entire amount at Waldenbooks buying up the _Sweet Valley Twins_ series. On my Sumner vacations from grade school I used to read the Nancy Drew mystery books and willingly write book reports about them. As a kid I also liked to write to my favorite authors and tell them how how much I enjoyed their stories. A few even wrote back. I remember that the letters from LJ Smith, the author of the 'vampire diaries' series were on such beautiful stationery. She wrote me multiple times in junior high & I was so excited and happy; she was such a kind lady. I guess I've always been a reading nerd! Powell's looks like paradise! And how do people *not* watch to the end of your videos?! You don't have a single second of dull content.... ever!

I live less than two hours from Powel's and have made it a tradition to go for my birthday with my dad. He gives me 50-100 dollars to spend, and we spend hours trying to pick which few books to choose, and just looking at the insane amount of books there are. We also go to the little coffee shop that is INSIDE the bookstore and sit and read :)

My Dad read me The Hobbit and LOTR as my bedtime stories, and every time we finished a book we would go together to store and pick up the next book. Well, by the time we made it to the Return of the King, they'd switched the covers! We were so disappointed that the final book didn't match. At least now I get to see what it would have looked like!

I'm so glad you picked up The Tasha Tudor Cookbook!! I was going to recommend it on one of your previous videos. It is a book I've loved for years! I actually have both editions of it, the vintage version that you now own and the updated/revised edition. The vintage one has a bunch more recipes and illustrations in it and reads more like a cozy story where you've been invited to sit down with Tasha Tudor for tea and a chat. Whereas the newer one has fewer recipes and less stories/illustrations but it has actual photographs of the different foods and more "modernized" recipes. I HIGHLY recommend the gingerbread recipe in this cookbook though! It is so incredibly delicious. I love to bake it and then eat it warm with some butter. It is so autumnal and amazing! And at some point I want to try to make the toffee recipe because it sounds so old-fashioned and like it would be such fun to make. 🥰

I wonder if that is because Emily's story is a bit sad to begin with. That aunt of hers is so difficult etc. Gradually, it gets better for Emily. Thank goodness. ~ Heather ~

I really loved Emily of New Moon; Emily just reminded me of a more introverted Anne. When I was growing up there was an Emily of New Moon tv show but it deviated a lot from the books and I didn't care for it as much.

I am about to get my seventh edition of the Lord of the Rings, I totally get you XD also I cannot express in words how jealous I am for your trip to that bookstore. I would have cried for joy. Now I am crying because I know I will never go there, I am literatly half the world away.

Chris, is you want something that badly you can really make it happen, just put it on your dream board and your dreams will come true I have seen happen to many friends. By the way Powell's is really worth the trip.

I'm always pleased to see that you have posted a new video. To use a cliche, you are a breath of fresh air! Your video's always put me in a happy frame of mind. I'm a book lover too. I'm a slow reader, so I find with the idea of reading while listening to an audio-book appealing.

Just finished watching this video and I must say, every time I watch one of your videos the words that come to my mind to describe them always are: lovely, delightful, magical, enchanting, warm, welcoming, whimsical, sweet, endearing, beautiful, etc. Whatever you call them, they are good for the soul! 😇

Question for Desi and everyone else, roughly what percentage of your books have you actually read? I’m hoping this makes me feel better about my massive book hoarding because I’ve only read about 1/3 of the books I own and I just keep buying more.

@DarlingDesi 2 жыл бұрын

I’ve probably read just over half the books that I own 🤔 Maybe a little more? I don’t mind having so many books because my dream is to have a library room in my house someday! So telling myself that when I buy more books makes me feel less bad about acquiring more 😄

Bookstores are the best! Specially thrift bookstores 🥰 I once spent hours in a thrift bookstore looking for all the books in the anne of green gables series - found them all and i look fondly on that memory everytime.

@DarlingDesi 2 жыл бұрын

Yes you’re so right! There are so many treasures to be found in used bookstores. I once round a really old edition of Pride and Prejudice at a thrift bookstore for only $3 🤯 I think it’s so cool that Powell’s sells new and used books, so if the book is too expensive there’s usually a cheaper used copy you can pick up instead! 😃
