Thus Far

Your readers. Their pace. One book club.

Bring the group chat, the long-distance friends, or the readers who keep asking what’s next. Everyone here is at your chapter.

Each reader saves their own bookmark. Discussions wait at the right chapter, so nobody has to catch up just to belong.

Start with one book

Name your club and pick its first read. Your draft is saved before you choose a hosting plan.

Invite your first readers

Share one link after opening your club. Readers join free and set their own bookmarks.

Give them something to answer

Post a welcome, ask a chapter question, and reply when someone shares a thought. Your discussion stays there for the next reader.

You bring the people. We keep their place.

Hosts+ includes your shared library, host tools, questions and recaps where available. Set an optional finish date, or let everyone read at their own pace. Choose your next book together.

Readers control their own alerts and can hide Book Buddies and recaps. When they return, their bookmark keeps later chapters hidden.

Questions

Do my readers need a subscription?

No. Reading and joining clubs are free. The host needs Hosts+ to open and run the club.

Do we have to read on a schedule?

No. Everyone reads at their own pace. A finish date is optional, and posts wait at each reader’s chapter.

What happens if I stop hosting?

Your club becomes read-only when host access ends. Members can still read existing discussions. Renewing host access reopens the club.

What if I already have Thus Far?

Start a Book Club opens the host path in the app. If you install the app first, choose Start a Book Club on the welcome screen.

Start with the people you already read with.
