The icon to join a buddy read for Project Hail Mary.
The first comment in Rob’s Project Hail Mary buddy read, showing how comments are hidden based on how far you’ve read in the book.
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

A man stands in a vivid blue studio, leaning over a blue pedestal that holds a blue App Store Awards trophy marked with the white App Store icon. 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.
StoryGraph won the Cultural Impact award from the 2025 Apple AppStore Awards! ✨
They presented the award to Rob the other day while he was in LA for their Developer Showcase.
Thank you everyone who has supported us this year. We’ve got big plans for 2026! 💪🏾
A teal square graphic framed by a thick rounded white border. Centered at the top is the white Apple logo above the words "App Store Awards" in white text, with "2025 Finalist" written underneath. Below that sits an app icon resembling a bookshelf: a rounded grey square containing three vertical black book spines, with the rightmost book leaning slightly, and a black horizontal line beneath them to represent a shelf.
We’ve been nominated as a finalist in the 2025 Apple App Store Awards! 🎉
We’re being recognised in the Cultural Impact category for our work in building an inclusive book community.
The winners will be announced in the coming weeks.
They will if you add a Read Date when marking them as Read.
If you're still interested, try again and look for a popup when saving indicating that a required field is missing. Either way I can confirm there is no approval process, and creating a book is immediate. I just watched about 100 books get created and they are already visible.
Have a nice day!

The Rainbow Ain’t Never Been Enuf by Kaila Adia Story
StoryGraph 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.
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 😂
I love Storygraph so much. This might be my favorite personalized book preview to date.
They do AI right.

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!

I just tested this, and finishing the book updated my streak for the day. Feel free to contact support if you'd like us to investigate!
The StoryGraph link doesn't work. Here's a good one!

It will not only stay optional, it will stay opt-in.
It's self-hosted, so your data isn't going anywhere (not ChatGPT or any external service), and opt-in so you'll only see it if you explicitly choose to.
I haven't seen anyone else doing AI like this, and it will not change.
