book shopping at the world’s largest bookstore + book haul

O my gosh you so cute. When tap on a random book and find it has colorful design on the cover, immediately that makes me goosebumps too! You so adorable!

I ❤️ you 😢

🎃

I have been to Powell's Books many times. Infact, one of the books on my bed currently is from Powell's. Dont skip the occult room! Lots of treasures.

Oh my goodness! If you love the acting world trope and you are a Christie fan, you need dive into the work of Nigao Marsh!! She is another queen of crime from the Golden age of mystery and many of her books feature actors and artist characters along with just an amazing detective character. In my opinion she sooo under read!

I read poetry

So peaceful 🌈 ⛅️

new subscriber here. You're so beautiful!! Love your personality

The serotonin boost this video gave me is unexplainable, i love the calm energy and how your love for the books radiates through my iPad screen. Love love love these types of videos.

I have a learning disability & Dyslexic. So, I listen with my audible and follow along with my book.

I never read a book in my life

I just love books My dad said on my birthday (september 8 ) we are going to a bookstore since i just love books. for my birthday i wanted a wii and and to go to a play zone but I just think books are better we are going to the bookstore when its my birthday (sunday and my dad gets paid on saturday so this will mean the world to me and keep up the good videos! 😊

I just watched this video after watching your New York bookstores video, and I'm laughing because you said you would have bought the one mug if it had dogs on it instead of cats, and now you have 3 kitties of your own 😄

I was so confused when you rejected the cat mug because you are a dog person, when you now have multiple cats

NOOOOOOOO GIRLL WHY DIDN'T YOU BUY THAT PRIDE AND PREJUDICE BOOK IT WAS SUCH A PRETTY EDITION WHAT THE OMG

This video made me so happy I nearly cried! I could smell the books through the screen. Thank you for sharing this trip!

Our family has the House of Danger game and we love it! It does take about 2 hours to play, but it’s so much fun, especially if you enjoyed Choose Your Own Adventure books as a kid.

Not buyd a comic book

Susan Branch cookbooks are awesome! I have collected them from thrift shops and have them all now!

Such dangerous store for me.😫😮Very nice.❤

POV: you're watching her say "I'm a dog person" now that she has three cats lol

A couple of years ago for my birthday I was taken to Jane Austen’s house. You would love it

Hi Desi❣️Have you read Susan Branch’s 3 book auto biographies series ? I believe you would love! They all come embellished with her wonderfully warm and cozy artwork throughout😃👏

Do you stock the Ragged Trousered Philanthropists ?

Someone needs to do an Amoeba Records-ish "Whats In My Bag" series at this store.

аааааа.... хочу в этот магазин...

They have a autumn version of The Summer Book. I love it!

So beautiful.

Nice

Hi just want to say I got recommended this video yesterday. (and apparently that’s your birthday!) I just thought it was funny, and I’m so happy I found you on your birthday! I literally haven’t stopped watching your videos since. :)

Watching this back in today and hearing Desi says she’s a dog person and now has three cats 😂❤

I totally understand how you feel about books. Wish I lived closer to this store it is a must see

We are of one mind. I think that store should provide wagons to carry our must haves. So enjoyed this video. Felt so much a part of your exploration.

I feel like you should be talking over that music like telling us about an adventure or something HAHA

Thank you for all your lovely videos. In this video, besides your obvious love of books you also mentioned the coastal grandmother decor style so I thought I'd ask you if you have read Rainbow Cottage by Grace Livingston Hill. Published in 1934 it is the story of a young girl who travels to meet her grandmother for the first time. Her grandmother lives in a cottage by the sea. I think you might enjoy it if you haven't already read it. My second favorite GLH book is The Enchanted Barn in which a young girl and her family are about to become homeless and how she deals with it. GLH's books, mostly written in the '20s and '30, are still in publication. she wrote more than a hundred novels. I have a large collection of them but not all of them. Over the years I tend to reread one or two of them every winter or just when the rest of the world makes me weary. I wish you well.

I love Powell's!

My comfort video:

Reminds me of that giant bookstore in downtown Toronto, which, sadly, has long since shut down.

I think I've found a kindred spirit! :-) Your videos - I've watched 2 so far, feel warm and cosy and a place of complete safety! Also - I live near Agatha Christie's house, Greenway - it's a great place to visit - especially the library - I hope you make it there, and you'll see why! :-) I don't however, have anything anywhere near as good as a Powells! :D

Was so sweet when he said, “ get all the books you want” ❤❤ that is goals right there 🥹🥹💕

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Im from Argentina, and if I don't go there at least once before I die, I'll riot

You are literally the first person I have ever encountered who also knows and loves Trixie Belden. She and the Bobwhites were my besties growing up. I think we are definitely book twins.

Yeah I'm just wondering about how much did you spend there? I really want to go there and I just wanna know how much i should bring if i do :)

New life goal: go to Powell's at least once in my life! Looks amazing! Love how it's so big it comes with a map!

You will love all of Susan Branch's books. Fan from Massachusetts

What app do you use for your audio books? I'm also dyslexic.

Thank you Desi!! You are a “calmness” for me. God bless and keep you!!🙂

when you first went into the green room i was like “wow that’s huge” and then i realized it was even bigger 😂

I love watching this vlog <3 it spread happiness to me cos I know the feeling of going to a place with lots of books, it's such a joyous moment. and your man saying "run, pick all the books you want" is getting my standard higher than before hahaha XD. find me a man that can say like that to me, he said it and he means it. and the outro was so funny XD you're so cute. I'm sure this vlog spread happiness to others too and like you said, may everyone have magical and whimsical days <3

i love love love listening to an audio book while reading along 🤎
