The StoryGraph's Onboarding Reading Challenge 2024 - hosted by thestorygraph

Read a book you discovered via the Buddy Reads or Readalongs page
StoryGraph now has publicly visible buddy reads and readalongs, so it's easier than ever to find new people to read with!

Head to Community and go to either the Buddy Reads or Readalongs tab. Browse the open buddy reads/readalongs until you find a book that catches your eye.

You don't need to join the buddy read or readalong in question - though you're welcome to!

New buddy reads and readalongs are being created all the time, so if nothing catches your eye at first, be sure to keep checking back.
