Prepare for a book club from your own notes
Mark a book as a book club read, give it the meeting's day and time and who you're meeting, and ReadingRate works out the pace you need — counting only the days you actually read on — and shows the meeting on your dashboard with the nights left. On the day, Tonight gathers the lines you saved for that book, whole and with their pages, and your own questions; suggested talking points are there if you ask for them.
Available on iOS.
A normal reading projection tells you when you'll finish at your current pace. A book club inverts it: the date is fixed and the pace is the unknown. Counting real reading days matters, because someone who reads on weekday evenings has fewer days before Thursday than the calendar suggests.
Generic discussion questions produce a conversation anyone could have had without reading the book. Points drawn from what you actually marked are the opposite, and a connection to another book you've read is usually the most interesting thing said in the room, because nobody else has your reading history.
What it can't do
- Setting the meeting, the countdown and Tonight are in the iOS app; on the website you can only open and join a meeting someone shared.
- The suggested talking points are a handful, made only when you ask, and need AI features allowed. It is not a structured study guide.
- It can only work from what you saved. Finish a book having captured nothing and it has nothing to build from.
Questions people ask
- Can ReadingRate help me prepare for a book club?
- Yes, in the iOS app. It calculates the pace you need to finish by the meeting date and, on the day, gathers the lines you saved and your own questions for that book.
