Thank you all for your input and for voting in such short notice! 
Since 14 of the 19 (potential) members have already voted and it’s been 24 hours since posting the poll, I’ve decided to go with the current results.
It looks like we’ve reached a majority vote in favor of taking a break. As for how soon this shall be implemented, according to the second poll, the current majority prefers breaking on Week 4. I agree as it would feel like a break a quarter into the story with the next break scheduled after the halfway point (Week 7).
For those who were in favor of taking an immediate break, please don’t let us proceeding for another week discourage you! If you look at the page numbers, chapter 1 looks a bit overwhelming at 20 pages, but please know that a good chunk of the first half is just Hanabi recalling the events of the previous book, so it should be easy to understand and go pretty quickly. After that, there’s a lot of dialogue exchange which can also be quick to read. By Week 2 and Week 3, the page count drops considerably (9 pages and 7 pages respectively) so you’ll catch up in no time!
For those who were hoping to proceed at a faster pace, thank you for your patience! 
I think it’s much more fun when more people can read along and talk about the story together, but I know life gets in the way and it’s hard to keep up the pace. Plus, there’s 10 more books in the series to go after this, so I’d like to help more people catch up so many of us can read the rest of the series together if they’re still interested!
I’ll update the first post with the new schedule and post the Week 3 discussion thread momentarily. If there’s anything you would like to discuss further, any questions about anything, etc. feel free to share them! Even if you haven’t started reading the book yet, you’re still a member of the reading club if you so choose so please don’t hesitate to share your thoughts.
