## What is Reading Between The Wines?

Reading Between the Wines is a private app built for one specific book club — it takes the busywork out of running it.

No more group-chat chaos deciding what to read next, chasing people for votes, or losing track of what you've already read together.

WHAT IT DOES
• Nominate books — anyone in the club can suggest a title for the next pick
• Vote privately — cast a secret ballot, no social pressure, no vote-copying
• Automatic reminders — nomination and voting windows open and close on schedule, with reminders for anyone who hasn't responded
• Winner announced automatically — once voting closes, the app tallies results and confirms the pick
• Meeting details — set the date, time, and location for your next gathering, and see who's confirmed
• Club history — look back at every book your club has read, when you met, and your notes from that discussion
