Frequently Asked Questions

How does book club voting work?

Each member votes for any books they'd be excited to read (approval voting). The book with the most votes wins. Ties are shown clearly so your club can discuss the tiebreaker.

How do you pick a book for book club?

Start with 3-10 book nominations. Ask each member which books they'd actually read, then record their choices here. The book with the most approvals leads the vote; if books tie, your group chooses how to break it.

What is approval voting for book clubs?

Approval voting means each member can vote for as many books as they want (not just one). This finds the book with the broadest appeal — the one most members are actually excited about, even if it isn't anyone's first choice.

Can members vote from separate devices?

This free picker is a tally sheet, not a live shared ballot. Collect everyone's choices and enter them on one device. For members to sign in and nominate or vote from their own devices, create a Picked Together club; the free club includes you and up to 2 friends.

Can I share my book club voting results?

Yes — after voting, click 'Share results' to copy a snapshot link. Anyone with it can see the nominations, member names, and votes without an account. Changes made on another device do not update your copy. Share only names and choices your group is comfortable making visible to link recipients.

Is this book club voting tool free?

Yes, this tool is completely free and requires no account. A free Picked Together club can nominate and vote with up to 3 members. The club plan ($8/month or $80 once) grows that one club to 50 and lets the owner pick a winner, finish the book, and collect ratings.

Want a shared place for next month’s vote?

Start a free club for you and up to 2 friends to nominate and vote together. Take the quiz first if you want book recommendations matched to your taste.
