Alaina (ameserole) | 255 comments I guess I have a question, so I had three series that started this year and I only see one of them on the 2021 spreadsheet - the selection. Did my buddies bow out of throne of glass and harry potter series? I'm just wondering, since I'm all caught up in reading for the threads this month, but... if they did, then I can just read on my own.

Hi Alaina, it looks like for those two series reads, you suggested the entire series, but when people joined, they didn't confirm the whole series ahead of time; just the first (or current) book.
When this is the case, we check in with the threads around the 20th to see if at least 2 people are interested in moving on to the next book. If you've checked with your other readers already and they are interested you can let us know here and we'll add the next one.

Thanks, I will do that once they comment on the threads!

BookishlyWise | 302 comments Hello. so I started with the suggestion of Harry potter series with book 1 for Jan. Didn't suggest others as wasnt sure how many people would join or want to read the entire series in one go.

I would like to suggest book 2 and 3 now from HP series.
