## What is Novelome?

Novelome recommends books the way readers actually choose them — by reading experience, not sales rank.

We gave 43,000+ books a reasoned genome: narrative voice, pacing, emotional impact, how scary it really is, whether the romance ends happily, whether the ending cliffhangs. An AI judges each trait — and abstains when it isn't sure, instead of guessing.

WHAT THAT GETS YOU
• Ask like a reader: "atmospheric but not bleak," "guaranteed HEA," "creepy, not gross"
• Every recommendation comes with a written why — never just a number
• Unearthed: brilliant books that match you almost perfectly and have almost no readers
• Your Book Galaxy: thousands of stars, placed by genome, with your books lighting up
• Book DNA: a beautiful, shareable card of your reading taste

BOOK CLUBS THAT FINISH BOOKS
• Next-book shortlists scored for the whole group's taste
• A spoiler-safe pace line, buddy reads, and a finish-line ritual
• Free to run, friends join in one tap

AND THE BASICS, DONE RIGHT
• Track your reading, import your history, build a blend with a friend
• Screen-to-shelf: loved a show? Find the books that read like it
• Free. Browse without an account.

Your next favorite book already exists. Novelome knows what it feels like.


## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.1.2 — 2026-08-06

Galaxy tab overhaul: tap any star to open its book at any zoom level, book titles now appear as you zoom in, and the map fills the screen. Fixes unresponsive taps on the galaxy map.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-07-30

The galaxy is now the whole galaxy.

• The Galaxy tab opens to all 28,000+ books at once — every book a star, clustered by how they actually read, with your current station lit up inside it.
• Pinch to wander between genres, tap any star to open its book, and "Find my station" flies you straight to your corner of the sky.
• A fresh app icon: your reading genome, drawn the way the app draws it.
• Book clubs: scorecard verdicts can now be reported, alongside the existing block tools.
• Small fixes and polish throughout.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-07-26

• All-new home: tell us what you feel like reading. Search any title, author, or mood right from the first screen.
• Browse by genre, tap a mood, or start from what readers everywhere are picking up right now.
• New thumbs ratings: like or pass with one tap — double-tap for loved or hated. Your strongest signals make your recommendations sharper.
• Import your library: paste your Goodreads export (or any list of titles) and bring your reading history with you.
• Ratings made on novelome.com now shape your app recommendations, and the other way around.
• Every recommendation leads with why it fits you.
