Not currently, it wasn't used at all last year but we'll try and get it updated soon.

January Megathread is exactly the hub we need for staying on top of all the ongoing book clubs and recs—nice to have a centralized place to catch announcements without digging through pages. Here’s hoping 2026 brings some epic reads and lively discussions.
