I would rather just ignore the recommendations, like I usually do. I can come up with what I want without their help.

You can always go back and tell it not to use certain items as influences for your ratings. Of course, that takes a lot of work. That, and I use the “Not Interested” check often.

I bought textbooks many moons ago, so they are always recommending library stuff that I don’t need, plus they are always recommending things I already own, or movies they think I want because Mike owns something similar. It just doesn’t work for me.

Really? Amazon is frequently dead-on with me.

I imagine this has been in the works for a while, set in motion before she passed away . . . it will probably be a while before we see anything else.

What…. what is that?! I do not own that book! I thought the only Madeleine book I didn’t own was Ilsa! I have to go look at that now… or is it poetry? I don’t think I own all her poetry…

I usually get pretty solid recommendations out of Amazon. Of course, I have eight-plus years of purchase [and rating] history with them.
