About

ReadRound is a free web app for choosing what your book club reads next. Most clubs pick their next book in a group chat, which means the loudest person β€” or whoever replied first β€” usually wins. ReadRound replaces that with a structured round: nominate β†’ rank β†’ tally.

  • No signup. A club is just a URL. The host shares one link; members bookmark a "resume link" to come back from any device. Identity is a cookie and display names are per-club β€” nothing to register for.

  • Nominate by link. Paste almost any book URL β€” Goodreads, Amazon, Bookshop, a publisher page β€” and ReadRound pulls the cover, author, and blurb automatically (page metadata, with an Open Library fallback).

  • Rank, don't argue. Members drag the shortlist into their preferred order and can veto books they won't read. A Borda count turns everyone's ranking into a single winner β€” and surfaces the runner-up on a tie, so the room can call it.

  • Live tally. As ballots arrive the count updates; the host closes the round once everyone has voted.

  • History. Every closed round is kept β€” what was nominated, who won, and what the club has read over time.

Mobile-first; works in any browser, nothing to install. Free.
