Parents can create clubs and add their children:
New Club Modal

###TODO:

  • Scheduled API calls to update the books table from GoodReads
  • Infinite scrolling of search results and activity stream
  • Pruning of activity stream: if someone rates over and over, just post once
  • Set things up so that only parents can sign up, then sign their own kids up
    • Parents can then add their own kids to clubs they've created
    • Club leaders can then add other parents to join their clubs, who can then add their own kids.
  • Update user accounts
  • Implement the "D" of CRUD: delete reviews, ratings, user accounts
  • In-club discussion board with nested comments
  • Data mining
    • book recommendations
  • Display books in columns in user show page, maybe horizontal scrolling?
