for the group chat that keeps saying “no spoilers!!”

Run the best book club they’ve ever been in.

Your club gets its own shelf. Pick the books, invite your people, and let everyone read at their own speed. Each reader meets the club’s posts at their own chapter, so the slow reader and the one who finished in a weekend are in the same club.

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.
