The book club that actually meets. Book Bash keeps the roster, nudges everyone before the meetup, announces the month’s book, knows who’s on which page and runs the vote for what’s next — then hosts the argument afterwards.
Set the rhythm once.
Book Bash keeps time, so the evening can be about the book — and nobody has to be the one chasing replies in the group chat.
Add everyone once. Each member picks email or push, and the right reminder lands at the right local time — the RSVP nudge, “see you Thursday”, the address three hours before.
On the first of the month the new book takes the stage: cover, page count, the meetup date, and where to get it — a bookshop, Amazon or your local library.
A weekly “where are you in the book?”, answered by page, percent or chapter. Your bookmark joins the club’s Shelf only once you’ve said that’s fine.
Every comment remembers how far its author had read. If you’re not there yet, it stays veiled until you choose to look.
Gather nominations, then let the host choose how the club decides — approval, ranked choice, STAR, a full bracket — and reveal the winner at the meetup.
A thread for every book, meetup and nomination. Comments, quote cards and reactions land live on every screen.
Talk about the book as you read it.
Every comment remembers where its author was. If you’re behind, it waits for you behind a veil, and you lift it only when you want to. Page 40 counts. So does the audiobook.
A comment from further ahead is still there. It just waits until you reach that page, or choose to look.
The veil is applied before the comment reaches your screen, so nothing slips through a preview.
Check-ins stay private until you agree to share them with the club. Change your mind any time.
Good manners, built in.
A club runs on trust. Here is what Book Bash does with the things you trust it with.
Contact details deliver nudges and nothing else. Members never see each other’s — not in the roster, not in a reply-all.
Everyone signs in with a magic link sent to their email. One tap, and you’re at the table.
Quiet hours, digests instead of pings, and every reminder can be switched off. Texts only after you say yes.
It suggests discussion questions and helps find books. It never sees contact details, never reads past your bookmark, and never counts a vote.
Book Bash is live. Start a club, add your readers, and let it send the nudges.
