Read together. Talk before the next Episode.
A book gives you plenty to talk about before you finish it. Kramena Reading Groups read one Episode each day, with time to compare notes and guess what happens next.
Choose a book and read it together
Open the Reading Groups tab in Kramena and create a group. As host, you choose a book from the catalog and invite people to join. Members follow the same book, one Episode each day.
The group has a shared place in the story. You can talk about today's reading while it is still fresh, then return for the next part together.
Keep the conversation going between Episodes
Each Episode has a private group discussion that only current members can see. Bring a passage you liked, a question, or a guess about what comes next.
Think of following a TV show when one episode aired each day. You watched, talked it over, and made predictions while waiting for tomorrow. A book read together can have that same rhythm.
Discuss Episodes when you read on your own, too
Catalog books also have Episode discussions outside Reading Groups. At the end of an Episode, rate it from 1 to 10, react with Love, Like, or Dislike, and add a comment.
You do not need a group to take part. The conversation is about an Episode, so you can discuss the book as you read it. Personal Book imports do not have shared discussions.
Find and follow other readers
Search for people and follow them. Visit another reader's profile to see which books are on their Reading Desk and which books they have finished.
Finished books appear in their Stamp Collection, with one book stamp for each completed book. It is a way to see what someone has read and find a book you might want to talk about.
Create a profile when you want to join in
You can read catalog books without an account. Create a Kramena Account to follow people, visit reader profiles, create or join Reading Groups, and take part in Episode discussions.
Other signed-in readers can see your Reading Desk and Stamp Collection on your profile. Group conversations are visible only to current group members.
