Welcome to the ReaderCrate Community

💛 Core Values & Tone

ReaderCrate is built on a foundation of warmth, inclusivity, and excitement for cozy mysteries. Our members love discovering new authors, sharing bookish treats, and connecting over twisty plots.

Every interaction should reflect our small-town, book club vibe — think gratitude, curiosity, and genuine care for one another.

📚 Guidelines for Respectful & Engaging Discussions

• Treat every member with kindness and respect, whether you’re discussing a book or sharing personal stories.
• Disagreements are natural, but always keep the tone friendly and constructive—debate the plot, not the person!
• Welcome new members with open arms and help them feel part of the cozy community from day one.
• Keep conversations inclusive—avoid inside jokes or references that could make others feel left out.

👩‍💻 Encouraging Author & Reader Participation

• Authors are an essential part of our club—ask thoughtful questions, share your appreciation, and celebrate their work!
• Readers: don’t hesitate to share your thoughts, theories, or favorite moments. We love hearing every perspective.
• Promote live Q&As, book discussions, and behind-the-scenes chats to keep everyone engaged.

🕵️‍♀️ Handling Spoilers & Sensitive Topics

• Always use a clear spoiler warning before discussing big plot twists or endings.
• Be mindful of sensitive topics; if in doubt, ask a moderator first.
• Respect everyone’s reading pace and avoid pressuring others to finish quickly.

✨ Moderation & Support

• Moderators are here to help—reach out with any questions or concerns.
• If you see behavior that doesn’t fit our cozy standards, report it privately so we can address it with care.
• Feedback is always welcome! We’re constantly looking for ways to make the club even more inviting.
