Choose your next book club pick
Book clubs stall when picking the next read becomes a debate. Add the candidate books to a Rankd, share the link with members, and everyone ranks them before the next meeting. The book the club ranks highest overall wins, and the runner-up becomes next month’s front-runner.
- A literary novel
- A thriller
- A memoir
- A classic
- Something translated
Free. Edit the options, then send one link to your group.
Why ranking beats a regular poll here
- Members who miss the meeting still get a say.
- The full order gives you the next few picks, not just one.
- Private rankings keep it friendly.
How it works
- Add the question and 3 to 12 options
- Send one private link to the group
- Everyone ranks privately, in about a minute
- You reveal the winner
Tips
- Use real titles once you have a shortlist; genres work for planning the year.
- Rotate who adds the options so everyone feels heard.
Questions
Can I reuse the same options next month?
Yes. After a reveal, “Decide again” starts a new Rankd with the same options so you can drop the winner and re-rank the rest.
Can people see how I ranked?
No. Each person’s order stays private. Everyone sees the group’s final order and where they personally landed, never anyone else’s individual ranking.
Is it free? Does everyone need the app?
Rankd is free and runs in the browser, so there is nothing to download. Friends open the link from any group chat (iMessage, WhatsApp, Slack, email) and rank in about a minute.
