In the spirit of making StoryGraph more social, people asked for a default buddy read for each book, no need to organize or join a group yourself Let’s see how that would work! Here’s a buddy read for Project Hail Mary with no limit on how many people can join app.thestorygraph.com/buddy_reads/...

He wears a tan jacket and looks directly at the camera. The white Apple logo and text “App Store Awards — 2025 Winner” appear on the front of the pedestal. In the top-right corner, The StoryGraph logo is displayed.A pink background features an illustrated person perched on top of an extremely tall, wobbly stack of books, happily reading another book held in their hands. Above them is a five-star rating and the bold, hand-drawn quote “ELEVATE YOUR READING EXPERIENCE.” At the bottom, the StoryGraph logo appears on the left and the Apple App Store Awards logo on the right.

I just started this audiobook, The Rainbow Ain’t Never Been Enuf by Kaila Adia Story It has such important information in it, it’s really good so far 💕 I went over to StoryGraph to track it, and then read my personalized preview… It was like yeah, you already know you’re going to love this book 😂
The Rainbow Ain’t Never Been Enuf by Kaila Adia StoryStoryGraph personalized review stating the book aligns with the reader’s interest in intersectional social justice themes, particularly seen in the reader’s high ratings of nonfiction exploring racism, disability justice, and LGBTQIA experiences. The reader consistently engages with critical analyses of systemic oppression and appreciates works challenging mainstream narratives, which matches this book’s core thesis debunking myths of LGBTQ+ solidarity through a Black queer feminist lens.

Over the last few weeks, StoryGraph has been hit by a large, coordinated DDoS campaign designed to knock our service offline. Nadia and I have been working around the clock to keep StoryGraph up and running. Sorry for the slowdowns and outages lately. We should have a new solution in place soon!

Homepage tweaks coming soon! ✨
Mockup for upcoming tweaks to the StoryGraph homepage. It presents various components like the "Current Reads" section with books displayed side by side, each with a circular progress bar indicating the reading progress.

Annotations around the layout suggest changes like smaller streak text, fully clickable progress bars, bottom-aligned books for a tidier look, and stronger arrow contrast for navigation. There's also a move to eliminate overwhelming numbers from the UI, replacing them with simpler, time-based phrases. Adjustments to the layout of book recommendations aim to utilize space more effectively by using a two-column layout for a less cluttered appearance. The recommended books are shown in larger covers for easier readability and the interface colors are tweaked to be easier on the eyes, with a note pointing out new, easier on the eyes green. The overall design is organized and labeled clearly with notes and arrows pointing out the specific updates for clarity.

Shoutout to @thestorygraph.com for being incredibly cool and allowing me to opt out of the ai by writing my own book preview! A step up from goodreads as I have been unable to claim by book on there and edit it lmao, anyway try Storygraph out!
A screenshot of Flowers for a Vinok, Roses for a Babuskha, Poppies for a Grave on Storygraph, showing the book preview, the preview says:

Flowers for a Vinok, Roses for a Babushka, Poppies for a Grave by Solomon Skalozub is a bittersweet Ukrainian history and folklore inspired novella that tackles themes of family, love, protecting one's home, and challenging the gendered expectations of society. The story follows a transmasculine Cossack as he grows into a man and eventually battles their imperialist invaders. This novella is written in a style inspired by old folklore and fairy tales, with a flourish of vocal inflections inspired from the author's own baba. This is for readers looking for a story with action, romance, the growth of a warrior and anti-imperialist themes.

#TryStoryGraphForJan Tried StoryGraph before and didn't like it? Give us another chance this January! There'll be fun updates and massive improvements coming all month. ✨
The image features a promotional graphic for StoryGraph titled "New Year, New Reading Journey." It displays a hand-drawn illustration of a small character circling the Story Graph logo on a calendar page, with "2025" written in the top right corner. The character stands on a pushpin platform, using a red marker for circling. The style is playful and sketch-like. The background is simple, adorned with scattered stars and paper airplane drawings, adding to the whimsical atmosphere. The text on the image states, "We've got fun updates coming all January! Give us the month to keep you around. Don't love us by Jan 31st? Delete your data in just 3 clicks."
