UPDATE IN OP: HPRG - need your input one more time :)

[everyjuan]

***Okay, the majority is Monday, Feburary 16th, so that's what we'll go with. Thanks, ladies ***






Thanks for all of the feedback! We'll be doing a straight read-through of the first two books, and choose checkpoints for the last five. The longer the books get, the more checkpoints we'll have.

First up is Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. If you haven't started already, time to pick it up!



Is next Friday, February 14th too soon, or would Monday, the 16 be better (you'd have an extra weekend to read)?

I know that some suggested not having a deadline, but the only way to keep moving with these is to have some kind of schedule to follow. If you finish after our initial discussion, you are still welcome to participate in the discussion later on. Chances are that HP lovers will still be excited to talk about it

I'll go with whatever the majority decides.

I won't usually ask this many questions, lol. I'm just trying to feel everybody out as we get started.

Thanks!

[CurlyQ284]

I'm fine with the 14th. SS is a quick read

[thebuddhagouda]

Anything is fine with me. I've honestly read them so many times that I'm not concerned with keeping up with the schedule. I'll still be able to run my mouth

[CurlyQ284]

I feel so bad that you have to tag everyone every time!

Don't feel bad! I have a word document with everyone's usernames, and I just copy and paste it every time

[wambam]

I would prefer the 16th, but I could certainly get it done by the 14th.

[goaskalice]

I'm impressed by your tagging skills. Thank you for setting this up!

I'm slightly more inclined to go with the 16th just because life is crazy and an extra few days would help.

[nahoku]

I voted for the 16th - I need time to talk DS into reading with me, lol.

Thanks for organizing this, everyjuan!

[grayskies]

I'm good either day since I just finished book 1 this week. I'm so excited about this! Thanks for setting it up everyjuan!

[twirlermom]

I'm good with either day. Similar to pp I have read them so many times that even if I can't keep up, I can definitely still talk about it

[SpartanGirl]

16th sounds good to me. Thanks for organizing this! I'm really excited to reread.

[ginandjucie24]

I voted for the 16th. That would give me time read and actually think about and remember what I am reading.

Thanks for setting this up.

[christy082]

I vote the 16th- gives up more time to read plus the boards seem slower on Fridays than Mondays sometimes.

 ImperioTMFA.

Favorite!

[aprilsails]

I would prefer the 16th just so I can finish my current book! It's finally getting interesting.

[Booze Raccoon]

I've just read it 2 weeks ago so either works for me.  Thanks so much for organizing this!

[BaliHai]

I'm good with the 14th or 16th!

Thanks again for organizing this, juan - I'm so excited!

[noodleskooze]

On the app so can't vote.

I choose Monday the 16th.

[jigsy]

The 16th is a holiday, right? Does that make a difference? I'm good for either day.

Thank you unemployment!

[jodinia]

Either date works for me

[rex]

sooner the better!

i might just buy them all. i have been borrowing them but i want to reread book 1! even though it's only been 6 weeks lol

[aurora]

I voted for Monday because I have an almost-all-day meeting on Friday and wouldn't get to participate that day.

THERE ARE SO MANY NAMES ON THAT LIST.

THESE WILL BE SUCH AWESOME DISCUSSIONS.

I knowww! I just counted - we have 77 so far!

[btay]

everyjuan

Since we have both HP virgins and veterans reading, are we going to have two discussion threads, one with spoilers. That was those of us veterans can discuss reactions to any foreshadowing without spoiling for the virgins.

[Deleted]

The 16th is fine with me! I just picked up 1 & 2 from the library last night!

[hazel]

I voted for the 16th, but either day works. I started last night, like I'm sure many of us did.

[lostrn]

I voted for the 16th but I could do either day really. I've read it oh, a million times, so I think I'll be good. I'm currently reading a different book so I need some time to wrap that one up.

[everyjuan]

Okay, the majority is Monday, Feburary 16th, so that's what we'll go with. Thanks, ladies

I'M SO EXCITED

[booknerd]

I just reread the series (finished 12/30/14) but I'm in for a discussion!
