How a round works

The host opens the round and closes it. Everyone else just points.

01
Drop in a link.

Almost any book page works — Amazon, Goodreads, StoryGraph, a library catalogue. We fetch the cover and blurb. Anyone with the link can nominate, no signup.

02
Drag-rank as a room.

Host opens ranking. Members order what they want most → least. Vetoes pull books out before counting.

03
Borda picks the winner.

Top of N is N points. Highest total wins. Ties show the runner-up — the room can call it.

What it looks like

Everyone who joins gets a friendly handle like Restless Albatross— rename to your real name only if you want to.

For the host

The person who usually herds the vote gets the controls — and a club that lasts past one book.

Cap the ballot.

Set how many books each member can pin, so the shelf stays a shortlist instead of a backlog.

Veto before the vote.

Pull a book off the ballot before ranking opens — or hand every member veto votes to spend themselves.

Sealed until close.

Vetoes and the running tally stay hidden until the round closes. No one games the result mid-vote.

History that carries.

Every round is kept. A club picks book after book on the same link — past winners stay one tap away.

Start a club. Share the link.

One URL is the whole onboarding. Bookmark the resume link before you close the tab — it’s how you get back in from any device.

ReadRound just picks the book. Discussion, scheduling, reading along — that stays in whatever chat your club already uses.
