Is there anyone here who is as late as me to the party and haven’t read The song of Achilles by Madeline Miller and A hitchhikers guide to the galaxy by Douglas Adams? If there is anyone who’s up for taking these books on let me know. I suggest April as month but anything from March to the end of the year works too 😊

which I have been meaning to read.
Niharika, your suggestion has been updated.Frezita, you're add to all the requested BRs. For the ones being read in February, the threads are already posted and you can join the desired BRs here.
Helene, added both the suggestions to April. I've only added the first book of A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, if you want that to be updated to the combined collection or want to suggest the entire series, let us know.
Updated.

Are we reading one book per month or the complete Omnibus of A Hitchhiker's guide in Galaxy in one month?
Great Raviteja 👏 may works for me 😊 I was thinking one book at a time with the hitchhiker series. We could read it as either continuing on whenever we finish one book, or spread it over five months. I’m up for either of those.
Sorry Sarah I didn’t see your post before I posted. I meant the series. Would you want to read them all or just the first? We could read all like I mention above to Raviteja either as a continuing series without the limitation of waiting for the next month or one each month. I am down for either of those options 😊
Also, I want to get the book you have Sarah instead of buying them all separate. From the link to it I see there is a prequel included which I haven’t heard of before (0,5?) Just need to get ahold of it 😊 does May work for you instead of April?
Thanks Trisha I meant the whole series but depending on who joins how we read it. Spread over months or as one 😊

I am okay with the full omnibus or one book per month.
Song of Achilles confirmed for MayI went ahead and confirmed Hitchhiker's Guide for April with Helene, Raviteja, and Sara with a note that you are deciding whether to do the omnibus or one book per month.
If you want to do the full series (omnibus), we can just put it in for a 2-month read; that way the full discussion would be in one place but you wouldn't have to hurry to finish all the books in one month.

I'm also okay with reading all of them in one month together or the two month thing like SarahKat suggested. Or we can break them up over five months if that's what Raviteja prefers. I'm flexible.

Thanks so much to the hard working mods for setting this up and keeping it running smoothly!
I'd like to jump into the Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell and the Clockwork Angel buddy read groups. Excited to finally cross these books off my TBR.
Meghan, Ina, and Brett - you all have been added.Helene & the hitchhikers - have you made your mind on which version will you be reading? Based on your conversation, I’ve moved book#1 to May. Also, we have 1 book planned per month from May onwards; if that’s not what you intend to do, let us know here.

Judging by all responses so far, we are reading the omnibus :)
