Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

Just a quick question re: making a new series. A horror novel I'm planning to read is planned to be the first in a series. The series has a name, and an excerpt from the second book is included at the end of the first one, but the second book hasn't had any information released about it outside of its title. Is this enough to make a series and a placeholder page for the second book before more information is released, or should I hold off on making a thread about it until we have more information?

It is enough, though it's not always advised—the less information available for a placeholder (especially pre-ISBN/ASIN) book, the higher the chance* that we'll end up with duplicates. But a title in an existing book is considered sufficient confirmation of a future book's existence to permit a book page for it.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated.
