Book Club Poll —
What to Read Next

End the “I haven't finished the last one” debate. Put three or four contenders in a poll, let members add the one you forgot, and set it to close Sunday night. Everyone votes in one tap from the club chat, and the card shows who is leading.

How book club voting works

1
Add the books

List the contenders as options; an emoji is suggested as you type, or pick your own. Turn on Let people add options so members can nominate, and put Goodreads or library links in the description.

2
Share the link

Paste it in the club chat. The Bars card shows each title with a Leading tag beside the front-runner, and members vote without an account or an app.

3
Close and announce

Set a close time, or close automatically once, say, eight members have voted. With “Show a winner card when voting ends” on, the re-shared card crowns the next read.

Because members have other things going on

⚡
One-tap voting

Nobody in your club wants another account. They tap the link, tap a title, and get back to chapter nine.

🏆
Fair when opinions split

With five strong picks, ranked choice beats a plurality. Members order their favorites and instant runoff finds the book most of the club can live with.

🗳️
The tally travels with the link

The poll page picks up new votes every few seconds, and every re-share posts a card with the latest standings, so the consensus pick is clear without opening another app.

Decide anything your club votes on

Not just the next book: any call your club needs to make.

Next read
Rank the finalists

A ranked poll for the shortlist. Members tap their favorites in order, and the runoff shows which title wins once the long shots drop out.

Meeting date
When are we meeting?

A dates poll where members answer Yes, If needed or No for each evening. The best date is ringed, and the Date strip card shows how many can make it.

Genre or theme
Set the next season

A multiple choice poll with a pick limit, like “choose up to two”, for thriller month, debut authors or a classic. Then run the titles within the winner.

Online or in person
Café or video call?

If the club meets on a call, make an Event of the Online call kind: the call link stays hidden until someone RSVPs.

Polls your whole club actually answers

📚
Keep the shortlist short

Three to five options gets a clear winner. Ten splits the vote and stalls the decision, unless you use ranked choice.

🔗
Add the book links

Put Goodreads or library links in the poll's description, where they are clickable, so members can skim the blurb before they vote.

⏳
Give it a deadline

Set a close time like Sunday at 8pm and the page counts down to it. Or have it close by itself after a set number of votes.

🙈
Hide results until you vote

Set results to show after you vote, or at the close, so early votes do not sway the rest. Names can be off, optional or required.

Book club poll FAQ

How many books should I put in the poll?
Three to five for a single choice poll. Longer lists split the vote; if you have more strong picks, switch the poll type to ranked choice.
Can members suggest books?
Yes. Turn on “Let people add options” when you create the poll, and members add the book the list is missing right on the poll page.
Can we vote on the meeting date too?
Yes. Run a dates poll where each member answers Yes, If needed or No per evening. Or start the Book club plan, which bundles the next book vote, the next meeting, discussion questions and a snack sheet in one Hub.
Can members see the results?
You choose: live, after they vote, or only when the poll closes. Live results nudge the undecided; hidden ones keep early votes from swaying the rest.
Is it free?
Yes. It is free, with no account and no trial.
Can members change their vote?
Yes, by default. Each member has one ballot per device and can change it until the poll closes. You can turn that off when you create it.
