A free web app for choosing your book club's next read. The host shares one link — no accounts, no email. Anyone with it nominates a book by pasting a URL; everyone drag-ranks the shortlist (with vetoes), and a Borda count picks the winner, surfacing the runner-up on a tie.

What is ReadRound?
Most book clubs pick their next book in a group chat, which means the loudest person or whoever replied first usually wins. ReadRound replaces that with a structured round: nominate ? rank ? tally.
- No signup. A club is a URL. Members bookmark a "resume link" to come back from any device; identity is a cookie, display names are per-club.
- Nominate by link. Paste almost any book URL. Metadata (cover, author, blurb) is fetched from the page or Open Library.
- Rank, don't argue. Members drag the shortlist into their preferred order and can veto books they won't read. A Borda count converts the rankings into a single winner; ties show the runner-up so the room can call it.
- History. Every closed round is kept — what was nominated, who won, what the club has read over time.
