I think these may be easier to memorize these if the mnemonic started with the letter in question, where possible.

Nice work Pek, design looks great! I noticed some odd behavior of the search term suggestions as well, but overall it's awesome. Only suggestion would be having a brief summary of the books on your site, without having to click through to Amazon.

I've seen exploited servers in the past with odd .htaccess files, performing redirects to spam sites depending on the requestor's source IP or some other identifier. Not sure how the server was exploited originally though.
