Kindle suggestions: mine are getting weirder and weirder

ForeclosureIt used to be that my Kindle would suggest titles I would actually be interested in. I even bought a few. Based on what I usually purchase, the suggestions would be science fiction and fantasy with a sprinkling of crime thriller and mystery. (Yes, I gave up years ago pretending to have much interest in anything else). But the last few months I've noticed that the suggestions are moving away from what could possibly interest me and into the realm of completely random with a large number of insipid inspirational novels and romance thrown in for good meassure. Unless Kindle knows something I don't and suspect I'm secretly a soon-to-be-homeless, flatulent, binge-eating, hoarding baseball fan with an unhealthy interest in Nazis and self-improvement. Why, Kindle? I used to trust you and now you imagine I'd want to read these books?

Stargazing blog by Malene Arpe


  • Malene’s interests and hobbies include Schadenfreude, sci-fi and fantasy (good and bad alike), hilarious hair pieces, age-inappropriate celebrity crushes, messed-up starlets, waiting for the next Star Trek movie, hating Björk, creative profanity, disobedient robots, fake celebrity relationships, post-apocalyptic dread, singing super-villains, baseball, David Beckham (but only when he keeps his mouth shut), vampires and knitting tiny sweaters for her seven cats. That’s not true. Maybe.
