Thank you! How should I do it? I picture post on RUclips with a list of titles, or a quick 4/5min video explaining what I'm planning on reading? I'm just not sure how to go about it 📚
Am I the only one who has trouble with listening to audio books because it is hard for me to listen to books without doing nothing? Like, when reading I trigger my eyes too so my brain is fully occupied I guess? weird I know.. lol
Hi, thats totally normal because our minds wonder! What a lot of people do is play phone games while listening to it, personally I like to listen to them while I'm drawing! Find some activity that is repetitive but fun and do it while you listen to it
This is going to sound crazy but I managed to read 100 books last year and the only way I managed this is audiobooks, they're life savers! I use Libby, it's the best! Also Goodreads is such a good way to keep you on track.
Aaah, I'm AMAZED by you! Congratulations on 100 books!! Do you have a favorite you read last year? I'd say mine was "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society"
@@MorganLong I read that last year too and loved it, such a cute book! I think last years fave had to be Normal People by Sally Rooney, shes an amazing Irish author who's huge in the UK not sure if shes big in the US yet? I did re read all the Harry Potters which is always a highlight! ⚡
SteviWondr Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my video! I’m so glad you found it inspiring ✨ I cheering for you- I know you can make it to 50!!
Last year I read 55 books, which is the most I have ever read in a year, and audiobooks are definitely to thank for that! My goal this year is 52 because I want to make time to watch more films :)
I’m so glad you found these tips helpful!! I’ve only managed to read 3 books so far and we’re already well into February! I know we’ll reach our goals though- best of luck ✨📚
@@folksurvival Idk man my friends mom died from covid (and I know it was so, not some BS case). If you are an at risk group then it's something to be aware of. If you are a healthy young person then the safety level is relatively the same
I think this is the best how to read more books video that I've seen 🙂 I loved that you pick 4 books of different genres and start them all together! I've never seen anyone do this intentionally before, but it makes perfect sense. Also that you learn a new skill each year & focus on self improvement. Love love love, as always!! X
I love this! I’m also interested in buying more books to “learn” with versus my traditional choice of fiction and fantasy. What Herbology books would you recommend?
Spenser Carrion Thank you so much! I’ve heard that “The Green Witch” by Arin Murphy Hiscock is a really great one! I have a handful of fun vintagey book I found at used bookstores and charity shops. The one I enjoy the most is “The magic and medicine of Plants” - I’ve found an Amazon link: Magic and Medicine of Plants www.amazon.com/dp/0895772213/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_w4PeEbMVBRWBT
Morgan, I love this! I’m always looking for motivation to get my reading done and honestly never thought of doing a lot of these...your videos are great :)
Tori Johnson Thank you so much, Tori!! I just want to say- Herschel is ADORABLE. I love all of your pictures of him- congratulations to you and your sweet husband ❤️
love your soothing voice. Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable (your authentic self). I love how coincidentally you spilled your tea and then * spilled the tea * on #10: that we don't have to read 50 books; we can go at our pace. love it! Love you! stay safe.
Hi Morgan! Just found your channel and I'm in love with it. It was a glad surprise to know that you're reading The Books of Beginning, such a great trilogy! I'm brazilian and I've started reading it since the first book, and I have been following the series for many years. So glad to know that other people enjoyed as much as I did. congratulations for your channel, everything is so beautiful :))
Thank you for the tips! 🤗😘 Since I started to keep track of the books that I read over the year, my numbers have increased. For 2021 at this point I have already read 72 books. Xoxo
Yea, Kimberly, it doesn't matter what you read. To be honest it doesn't even matter how you read (ie audiobooks). Read what ever sparks joy! Edit: and don't let anybody shame you for what you read!
Hey Morgan! I would love to see a video on your favourite fantasy books! I can't stand non fiction or self help books but I love the idea of reading a few different books at a time. I do this as well. Even though they are all fantasy usually, I will read 2-3 different subgenres of fantasy at a time or 2-3 fantasy books that have a very different feel to them, or kind of theme to them. This helps me to read more of my favourite genre yet still prevent boredom. Great video!!
Thank you so much for the recommendation, littlebat! I will definitely do a favorite fantasy book video at some point... I just need to get up the courage to express an opinion/well-rounded review. Regardless, I think you've inspired me to do a Fantasy February and only read fantasy next month. ✨
thank you so much for this video!!! i am soon to be graduating from university and i really want to get into reading for fun again and i am full of inspiration and ideas for how I'm going to do it now 💕 also FOREST IS THE BEST. I used it all the time for homework and now I'm going to use it for reading, too-thank you for that suggestion!!
Great advice and I’m exactly 2 years in now reading 50 books per year. This year (nov 21-22) I’m reading 100 books and already 4 deep! I also loved the mountains. Reminds me of here in Colorado.
I am so glad I stumbled upon your videos! They are so calm and call attention to loving the little things in life (plus showing how magical books are)💕 If you haven't, I highly recommend reading A Man Called Ove
Kasey Perdue YES!! I would love to! Also, thank you so much for taking the time to watch my videos and comment on so many of them- it means a lot to me 🤗
Thank you so much for sharing. I'm really looking forward to start reading books again. You inspired me to start a new audiobook today! Yay! I'm back in the game. xx Linda
@@MorganLong Maybe you could do a post or something where we can choose between 2 books. And then make a video at the beginning of the month about the book that won. At the end of the month you could do a review video and in the comments we share our ideas. It doesn't have to be every months, it can also be every 2 or 3 months. This way we can read more books together in the 2020!! ✨💙
As always your video is awesome! My goal this year is 30 books. Last year it was 26 but I only read 20, which I think it's pretty okay. I will definitely put your tips to use! One that helps me a lot is to bring my book in my bag, so when i have long lines at the bank or on my lunch break I can get a good chunk of the book done. ps. I didn't knew you are learning Spanish! That's awesome! That's my first language! If you ever have a question maybe I can help! ps 2. I love that your phone is set to Spanish!
Irene 20 es increíble!! No tengo duda que puedes leer 30 este año!! A mi también, me gusta traer mis libros a cada lugar 📚 He estudiado español por casi 9 años- si quieres, puedes comentar en español, me encanta la práctica! Lamento que me haya tomado tanto tiempo responder- estoy de vacaciones en hawaii 🌺
in the UK, the free audiobooks app is called Borrow Box. Its so cool. But the only downside is that you have to wait for the popular audio books which can take months.
I read my first book in years this year! I read a lot of manga/comics but not many books, so it felt I was missing out on a lot. Started with carry on and beauty & the beast and now I’m digging into finishing the Harry Potter series for the first time! After that I’m thinking: song of Achilles, heart stopper, the odyssey, Matilda, captive prince series and idk whatever looks fun! It’s so nice to get into a story - it feels so exciting and I missed it : ) my aim is 12 books for this year (on the 6th)
Hey there, great tips, thank you so much for sharing. I've started learning spanish as well. How about a video-idea of recommending good spanish books for beginners. Maybe one or two per genre. (Just an idea, no pressure here :) )
I love this video, and not because you gave me a shout out for recommending Gentleman in Moscow. 😊. I thought your technique of filling in your hand-drawn “bookcase” with the books you’ve read is clever. No wonder you get so much done, using these strategies. Well done! Inspiring.
Constance Lively Thank you so very much, Connie 😊 I’m soaking it allll in, learning as much as I can, you’re practicing presence of mind and prioritizing relationships- 2020 is going to be our year!
I've got a question! How do you approach re-reading a book? I want to revisit old favorites but I'm afraid that I might grow bored and skip ahead, or even worse, see my old favorites in a different light and realize they weren't as amazing as I thought they were. How do you approach re-reading favorites with a fresh perspective?
Hello, Nathalie!! I bought my mug from a local bookstore called Powell's City of Books 📚 Here's a link to the mug on their website: www.powells.com/gift/powells-umbrella-mug-1110000122016/18-0 Their website looks like it was made in the early 2000's hahaha, but I promise it's legitimate!
I was just thinking how can I read 50 books a year like Morgan does. I can read maximum 20 a year (I'm close to finishing this year's Good reads challenge) but not sure if I can exceed that limit. But I'll try your tips :)
If you haven't read it already then I highly recommend The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah! I read it back in the beginning to 2018 and it was my favorite book of that year and will continue to be my favorite. I've recommended it to so many people since then and the few who have read it feel the same.
Thank you so much for the recommendation!! I've added it to my handwritten TBR and will add it to goodreads as soon as I get my account all figured out. I hope you've had a good start to 2020 : )
@@MorganLong Oh wow! I'm excited you put it on your TBR! I feel honored. 😁 I hope you enjoy it as much as me! I wish I could read it for the first time again. My 2020 has started off well! Thank you! I sure hope the same for you also!❤️
Brilliant video, Morgan! 💞 It's a good challenge for the new year - I usually read 2-3 books per month, but I am going to try to go for more! I am currently reading "Norse Mythology" by Neil Gaiman. Hugs from the chilly UK! Xx
Olga Hart-Antoniadou Thank you so much! Are you liking “Norse Mythology” so far? It’s always caught my eye and think I’d like to read it. I generally love anything by Gaiman 📚 I know you could totally get to 50 total books!! Hugs from Hawaii (haha I’m currently vacationing)
@@MorganLong Oh, that's great! Have a wonderful time! I love ''Norse Mythology''! I will definitely be reading more books this year (and more books by Gaiman) :)
@@MorganLong It's on my list! 📚 I really love illustrated books! I had the chance to meet a lot of fantastic illustrators when I was working at the House of Illustration in London! 😊
You worked in the House of Illustration in London!? That’s SO cool. Perhaps this is a silly question, but do you illustrate?? I’m fascinated by illustration art and have been inspired to teach myself how to draw! My favorite illustrated book I read in 2019 was “Snow and Rose” if you’d like to check it out!
Yo pasé de 13 libros en 2018 a 55 en 2019 y estoy muy contenta. Además de aprender, como dices, noto que mi memoria y atención han mejorado. ¿Conoces a Marcel Pagnol? Si no has leído nada de él, te lo recomiendo. Especialmente 'El agua de las colinas' (The water of the hills). Son dos libros: 'Jean de Florette' y 'Manon of the springs'. ¡Tú también eres increíble! :D
MissBliss Wow!! 13 a 55! Es progreso increíble 📚 No he leído nada de Marcel Pagnol pero estoy añadiendo “El agua de las colinas” a mi listo de leer (TBR). Muchas gracias para la recomendación!! Y como siempre muchísimas gracias para tu apoyo 💕 Me encantan tus comentarios!
I put a challenge on good reads to read more books but unfortunately i couldn't achieve it because my hard work outside, i came home very tired and starting the house chores from cleaning and cooking. 😢 i am so disappointed with my self.
Morgan , if you want a WONDERFUL book that has to do with reincarnation and all things taboo and metaphysical I am currently reading Destiny of Souls by Michael Newton PHD. I know you would enjoy it! I love your videos so calming and magical to watch!
Great inspiring video. You seem like a very interesting an intelligent person. Thank you very much for sharing your tips that resonating a lot in me. If you ever want to practice your Spanish, I would be glad to help you in return.

@@MorganLong Oh, that's great! Have a wonderful time! I love ''Norse Mythology''! I will definitely be reading more books this year (and more books by Gaiman) :)
I really like “The Graveyard Book” by Gaiman!
@@MorganLong It's on my list! 📚 I really love illustrated books!
I had the chance to meet a lot of fantastic illustrators when I was working at the House of Illustration in London! 😊
You worked in the House of Illustration in London!? That’s SO cool. Perhaps this is a silly question, but do you illustrate?? I’m fascinated by illustration art and have been inspired to teach myself how to draw!
My favorite illustrated book I read in 2019 was “Snow and Rose” if you’d like to check it out!
The aesthetics are 😍💯
Thank you 😊
Are there more than one location of this book store? And do you always go to the same location?
i really appreciate this video even if i have no trouble of reading enough books :) oh and also can we add you on forest? i love that app!!
leonie Thank you! Yeah, that would be fun- what’s your username?
I think I’ve just added you!
I’m on vacation now but when I get back, I’ll get back to my regular Forest schedule
Buen vídeo, he disfrutado mucho viéndolo mientras desayunaba, !saludos desde Madrid, España¡
Muchísimas gracias, amiga 🤗 Me encanta Madrid!!
Thanks
have you read Sophie kinsellas shopaholic series ? I love it !
Yo pasé de 13 libros en 2018 a 55 en 2019 y estoy muy contenta. Además de aprender, como dices, noto que mi memoria y atención han mejorado. ¿Conoces a Marcel Pagnol? Si no has leído nada de él, te lo recomiendo. Especialmente 'El agua de las colinas' (The water of the hills). Son dos libros: 'Jean de Florette' y 'Manon of the springs'.
¡Tú también eres increíble! :D
MissBliss Wow!! 13 a 55! Es progreso increíble 📚 No he leído nada de Marcel Pagnol pero estoy añadiendo “El agua de las colinas” a mi listo de leer (TBR). Muchas gracias para la recomendación!!
Y como siempre muchísimas gracias para tu apoyo 💕 Me encantan tus comentarios!
@@MorganLong No hay por qué darlas ^.^ También te recomiendo 'Sostiene Pereira', de Antonio Tabucchi. Leí todos en 2019 y me encantaron.
¡Un saludo!
'Pereira maintains', en inglés :P
Lo he añadido a mi TBR : ) Muchas gracias 💕
@Morgan Long I set my goal this year at 25 books, and because of quarantine I’m about to hit it! Time to reach higher I suppose!
I put a challenge on good reads to read more books but unfortunately i couldn't achieve it because my hard work outside, i came home very tired and starting the house chores from cleaning and cooking. 😢 i am so disappointed with my self.
hi am new here, i love to read, if i am enjoying a book it plays like a movie in my head, do you know any good crime novels?
If you're interested in reincarnation you should read the works of Allan Kardec. Really great stuff!
You look so pretty 💕
I think people that can read that much are lucky. People with slow processing or learning disabilities don’t read as well as others.
I have to finish a book. My ocd doesn't allow it.
I like audiobooks for classics cos I can't focus with the complicated writing
I cannot remember anything I listen on audio books.
Excellent video, thanks. New subscriber here,
im planning on reading 100 books a year. I have the time so I shouldn't have any excuses.
ameerah d no no I’m going read slowly, I dot have a job this year I’m taking the time out to read and relax coz I ended up getting schizophrenia.
Morgan , if you want a WONDERFUL book that has to do with reincarnation and all things taboo and metaphysical I am currently reading Destiny of Souls by Michael Newton PHD. I know you would enjoy it! I love your videos so calming and magical to watch!
