Hi Bibliophile,
I've added this note to the comments section: 7 Book Series - Reading slowly over 2 years- Check in with threads
Your group can simply suggest and confirm each book as you decide to read them in this thread. So when you get to Chamber of Secrets in May, decide when you want to read #3 and let us know. If we don't see anything in this thread by the end of May we'll check in with you all in that thread.

Hi Sarah. For the Harry Potter series started this year, we have decided to read the entire series together, but not all books in 2021. (because they are huge and other tbr books have already been planned)Plan is to read 3-4 books this year and rest in 2022. How do you suggest that should be marked?
