Interview Insights
During the interviews, a recurring theme emerged—users desired a platform that not only facilitated book discussions but also helped organize their reading life effectively.
Organization is Key: Participants expressed a strong desire for a feature that would help them organize their reading materials. Many mentioned the need for a "To Be Read" (TBR) list to keep track of books they intended to read, a "Read" list for completed books, and a "Finished Reading" list for an overview of their literary journey.
Simplified Book Club Discussions: Users found existing platforms overwhelming and desired a simpler interface for book club discussions. They craved a space where they could connect with fellow readers without the clutter.

Wire-framing and Prototyping
I translated these features into a rough wireframe to visualize the app's flow. The wireframe focused on the user journey, ensuring a seamless experience from managing reading lists to participating in book club discussions.
