For Discourse, it might make more sense to do this:

* * *

A single “Book club readings” category

One topic per chapter (or less), with modposts as barrier markers, linked from the first post for easy jumping

One more topic for the announcement & wrap-up, each

All of these linked from a pinned index topic

Any extra topics aggressively merged into the canonical one

* * *

Of course, adapt to your needs, but I think that could work well.
