The idea is cool, but I have some suggestions.

1. Use links, when there’s a list, I open links in new tabs that I want to check. This is some kind of JS-only app that doesn’t have links, only JS behavior. Please don’t break the browser for no good reason, this makes it really hard to actually use the site.

2. Get a better source for the book data:

> What is this book about?

> Read the award-winning, critically acclaimed, multi-million-copy-selling science-fiction phenomenon - soon to be a Netflix Original Series from the creators of Game of Thrones.

> 15+ pages of new, original content, including a glossary of terms, in-universe writings, and more!

> A USA Today Best-Selling Novel!

> "Unlike anything I've ever read. " --V.E. Schwab

> "Lesbian necromancers explore a haunted gothic palace in space!" --Charles Stross

> "Brilliantly original, messy and weird straight through." --NPR

Almost everything I checked had a bunch of absolutely useless marketing blurbs at the top, maybe one or two paragraphs of explaining what the book is about at the end, but not even always that. I don’t know how accessible it is, but goodreads tends to have descriptions without those blurbs.
