This update includes several behind-the-scenes bug fixes and improvements. Be sure to update today for the best experience!
Every month, we bring you a shortlist of the best new fiction we’ve come across, with a mix of books likely to be in your sweet spot as well as intriguing outliers. You pick what speaks to you, we send it your way. We’ll see you again in four weeks. Happy reading :) More than just books: Get access to app exclusive content like reviewing the books you’re loving, tracking your path to rewards, and crushing digital challenges (for IRL prizes). Read with your ears: Fit curated audiobooks from every genre into your commute, errands, trips, chores, and relaxation. We make big breaks happen: We’re committed to celebrating and championing emerging authors. Listen to our authors on our podcast, Virtual Book Tour. This app was designed and developed in-house by Book of the Month in New York, NY.

# Design Brief: Editorial (with Soft & Friendly)
Oversized serif headlines, narrow reading columns, and magazine-inspired grid layouts.
## Design Tokens
```css
:root {
--background: #102e52;
--surface: #faf7f4;
--foreground: #f8f5f2;
--muted-foreground: #c2a6d0;
--accent: #0a68a6;
--radius: 4px;
--font-heading: "LardentPro-ClassicRegular", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
--font-body: "LardentPro-SlabRegular", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```
Color area ratio: Background #102E52 (~66%) · Surface #FAF7F4 (~12%) · Text #F8F5F2 (~12%) · Muted Text #C2A6D0 (~4%) · Accent #0A68A6 (~6%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.
## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Theme & density: Dark · Airy
- Border radius & elevation: Small Radius; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: Photography / Live Video
- Conversion CTA: Start Free / Sign Up · Trust bar uses Live Generated Output Showcase
- Headline hook: Brand Manifesto & Curiosity

- Spatial layout notes: Centered Headline + CTA hero structure paired with start free / sign up CTA and live generated output showcase.

## Avoid
- Generic SaaS hero templates
