Hi, I'm building this! Thanks for sharing.

It's pretty basic right at the moment and we've a lot left to build (largely a reading list only, we've got more in the works) – but here's my profile as a preview, since our marketing site & messaging needs a bit of work: https://beta.readng.co/user/joe

One of the things I always wished was built into goodreads was a good system for running a book club. They have groups, and those are close. But it just seems like they took Facebook groups and tried to make it work for a book club. It doesn't feel right to me.

Is that something thats on your roadmap?

User name checks out. Lots of gratuitous butt-cleavage on the site. Looks nice and I am interested. But why all the butts?????

readng looks really cool. Where do you get the books data about authors, description, cover images etc ?
