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 WHO IT'S FOR This app is built for one specific, existing book club — it's a private tool for that group, not a general product for starting your own club. If you're a member, your club's admin will send you an invite to join; there's no public sign-up.
