Use cases

Bring the whole book club to the same page

Your notes, discussion questions and reading schedule in one space the club shares. Ask about the book and see where the answer came from.

What to add

• Members' reading notes
• Discussion questions
• The reading schedule
• Reviews and author interviews as links
• Public-domain texts, or extracts you have the right to share

How it helps

Catch up before you meet

Missed a few chapters? Ask for the key events from the club's notes.

Settle it with a source

Answers cite the notes or text they came from, so the debate is about the book, not who remembers better.

Everyone brings something

Members add their notes and questions. No accounts needed.

Questions you could ask

• What questions do we have for chapter 5?
• What did members say about the ending?
• Summarise what we've covered so far.
• When are we meeting about part two?
• What did the author say about the main character in that interview?

How to start

1. Add something. Open a new space and drop in a file, a link or a note. That creates the space and its link.
2. Ask. Open Chat and ask in plain words. Answers cite the sources they used.
3. Share. Copy the link and send it. Anyone who has it can add and ask. Nobody needs an account.

Questions and answers

Can I upload the whole book?

Only if you have the right to share it, for example a public-domain classic. Notes, questions and short quotes are the usual way to use a space.

Do members need an account?

No. They open the link and start asking or adding.

Will it spoil the ending?

It answers what you ask. If someone hasn't finished, they can ask only about the chapters they've read.
