Read Me First - Announcements

[Brianna]

Welcome to the group everyone!

Drop by the Introductions thread to share a little bit about yourself and meet your fellow readers.

We have a Chat thread to talk about whatever you want!

We also have Currently Reading thread so we can share what books we're reading alongside Harry Potter.

We currently don't have a start date for when this read-a-long will start and how long we'll be reading each book for. We're discussing that in the Let's Do This! thread. Join in on the discussion and share your opinions!

We have a folder for each book and within each folder is a thread for each chapter. Please mark any spoilers!
Until we decide when we're starting, please refrain from using the discussion threads.

There is also a folder where you can discuss each of the movies! (here)

We have a Fun & Games folder where we'll have different discussions/activities/games to participate in.

If you have any suggestions, please check with a mod before creating a folder/thread.

This will be where we'll share any announcements as well.

There is a poll to vote on how long you want to read each book. It'll be open for a week so get your votes in!

[Brianna]

The poll about if we should include the other books set in the wizarding world is now live! Vote here!

[Brianna]

Tonight (at 10:59pm PST) is the end of the poll to vote on how long to give each book. If you haven't voted yet, don't forget to do so! (vote here)

There is still a couple days to vote on what other books from the wizarding world we should include! (vote here)

Get your opinions in on when we should start this read-a-long ASAP! I'll be making the poll in the next day or two for us to vote on that! (share your opinion/thoughts here)

The poll has ended on what other books to include. We will read Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at the end, but I will have threads open for all of them.

Wonderful!!!!

Excellent Brianna.

If you add the books to the group bookshelf with those dates, then people will see them in their groups page. I find them to be helpful reminders for group members. (Just a suggestion)

[Brianna]

That's a good suggestion and thank you (Lena?) who already took care of it!

You're welcome! It's always fun learning to do even these small things!
