May Book Poll & Channel Update! (Patreon)

Hello there,

Here is a book poll for May and an unfortunate channel update for those who listen to the YouTube version of the podcast.

First, this months book poll is a BIG ONE

You can vote for multiple books, please vote for any and all you are interested in hearing to shape what I read going forward!

A book not on here doesn't mean I won't return to them, this poll is focusing on books that are in the public domain for reasons below. (Yes, Twilight is continuing after the first book ends)

CHANNEL UPDATE

Bit of a sad day, as Howl's Moving Castle, The Lord of the Rings and others will now be exclusive to Patreon, after being hit by copyright strikes on the public YouTube version, and taken down by YouTube (some publishers are not friendly to people reading their books, others don't seem to mind) and the entire YouTube channel for the podcast is unfortunately at risk (3 strikes and your entire channel is deleted without warning)

This is obviously not great, so I've had to delete a lot of my videos from the YouTube to attempt to protect the channel going forward, those books will still be available here for you (The Lord of the Rings, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Jurassic Park, Howl's Moving Castle, Haunting of Hill House, among others) and I will be continuing Howl's and LOTR on Patreon for you supporters.

My fingers are crossed to not lose the channel there after years of building it up, really sucked to delete some very popular videos there that helped bring lots of you here, but as a result the youtube version will only get public domain (classic) books from now on, which isn't the end of the world, there are plenty of amazing classic and public domain books for us to read together, and I look forward to them.

To be clear, there will still be modern favourites here, but they will be EXCLUSIVE to Patreon and the only place to hear them will be here

Here on Patreon nothing changes. But I know some also listen on the YouTube and enjoy that version, so wanted to give a clear update on what is happening there.

This is why this Patreon version exists, it will hopefully always serve as home, the primary version and most reliable source for my readings.

Thanks for the support, on with the poll!
