Queue up your books, set how often you meet, and get discussion dates with a suggested reading pace for every title — recalculated live as you reorder the list.
Book clubs stall when nobody's sure what the pace should be or when the next meeting lands. A live cascading schedule keeps everyone aligned on dates and gives a realistic daily target.
Add books in order and every discussion date lines up automatically, cadence after cadence.
Page counts turn into a pages-per-day and pages-per-week pace, not just a due date.
Move a book up the queue and every date after it recalculates instantly.
Each book's discussion date is calculated by adding your meeting cadence, in weeks, to the previous book's discussion date — the very first book's date is simply your start date plus one cadence. This cascading approach means the whole queue automatically shifts if you change the start date, the cadence, or the order of the books. When a book has a page count, its reading window is the span between the previous discussion date (or the start date for the first book) and its own discussion date; dividing the page count by the number of days in that window, rounded up, gives a pages-per-day target, and dividing by the number of weeks gives a pages-per-week target. Books without a page count still get a discussion date but are marked to read at your own pace, since there's nothing to calculate a target from. Everything recalculates instantly in the browser as you add, reorder or remove books, and the finished plan can be copied as plain text for your group chat or newsletter.
Change one setting and every downstream discussion date updates automatically.
Pages-per-day and pages-per-week targets round up so you always finish in time.
Move books up or down the queue without losing your entered details.
The first book's discussion date is your start date plus your meeting cadence in weeks. Each following book's discussion date is the previous book's discussion date plus the cadence again, so the schedule cascades forward automatically.
If you give a page count, the tool divides it by the number of days (or weeks) between the previous discussion date and this book's discussion date, rounding up, so you get a pages-per-day and pages-per-week target to finish in time.
The book still gets a discussion date, but its pace is shown as read at your own pace, since there's no page count to calculate a daily or weekly target from.
Yes. Use the up and down arrows on each book to move it earlier or later in the queue. Every discussion date and reading pace recalculates immediately.
