***I have closed the voting now*** Thank You so much to everyone who has commented and voted 😀It's now time for filming my spring reading plans, where I will reveal which book got the most votes. Look out for my next opportunity for subscribers to vote for a book for me to read in summer. This will be in mid May. ***I have closed the voting for this video***

All the choices to pick from have interesting premises. My vote is for How Beautiful We Were!

Hi Debbie 🤗 Thank you so much for voting. I really appreciate it. I hope you are keeping well. Take care 💛

The Remains of the Day!! I love it, it’s one of my favourite books of all time. I’d go so far as to say I think it’s almost perfect.

Thank you so much for voting. I really appreciate it you taking the time to comment and vote. I've heard so many good reviews about Mrs Bird too.

I'm definitely going for Option 2 - 'Remains of the Day'. If ever there was a book to illustrate the saying 'still waters run deep'. this is it. It's a deceptively leisurely read and by the end it's possible to think "Well, what was that all about?" But the attentive reader will be aware of those deep currents and passions (emotional and political) that permeate the whole work. It's a book I enjoyed the first time I read it and I fully intend to re-read it when opportunity arises. However, whichever work wins out in the voting, I'm sure you'll do a great job of describing your reaction to it in a future video. Kind regards, Brian.

Thank you so much for voting 🤗 I really appreciate it. I really love the way you've described this book Brian. You've definitely sold this book to me. Even if it doesn't receive the most votes, it's a book I definitely want to read. I think if you know going in it's a slow burn you can then get the most from it. All the best. Take care 💛

The only one of these that I have read is Remains of the Day, and I would definitely recommend...so I am voting for that one. It is a slow burn but such a touching and beautiful story. It was my first Ishiguro and I now consider him one of my favourite authors. Enjoy, whichever one wins 📖

The Remains of the Day for me, I recently reread this and it is completely wonderful, one line in it is such a heart breaker. I have 2 of Kazuo Ishiguro 's books in my all time top ten, they have been there for years, this one and Never Let Me Go.

Ooh, now I know how hard it is to vote because I’m finding it hard to choose! 😂 Remains of the Day is a slow but excellent, thought provoking novel. Dear Mrs Bird is quick and delightful! I have to vote for the Elif Shafak book as I gave it 5⭐️; I loved the themes within it, especially of friendship. But I love the sound of the other 2 as well! 🥰📚

Dear Mrs Bird is a perfect book for Spring, so that gets my vote. But I also enjoyed When All Is Said which is more suited for Autumn or Winter

I’m going to vote for The Remains of the Day because it’s the one I most want to read, but I did think How Beautiful We Were by Imbolo Mbue was an excellent book when I read it last year for the Booktube Prize. Not a favourite for me, but a powerful and well written book.
