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?
The fairest way to pick a book club book is to let everyone nominate and vote. Add 3-10 book nominations, have each member check the books they'd actually read, and the winner is the book with the most votes.
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 I share my book club voting results?
Yes — after voting, click 'Share results' to copy a link. Anyone with the link can see the nominations and vote breakdown without needing an account.
Is this book club voting tool free?
Yes, this tool is completely free and requires no account. For monthly voting, reading history tracking, and club management, Picked Together's paid plan adds those features.
Want to do this every month, automatically?
Picked Together tracks nominations, voting history, and past reads so your club never reads the same book twice. Takes 5 minutes to set up.
