...is it wrong, that I'm actually tempted to add that mismatch to my reading list ??

Human stories with "giddy surrealism" sounds promising.

Not at all! Some of the recommended books could be perfectly good books, even if they have nothing to do with the book they're paired with.

Indeed.

Clearly someone's reading them - how else would they get matched.

Edit: and thus, it now rests in the conceptual towering reading pile.

i feel like this is the GR equivalent of the expression "I'm gonna pray for you" and that's so utterly rude and hilarious

Anna, please don't fry brains, kthx

Because I read... Elder Race?

(How is that the one on my Read list to base these recs on???)

idk but you better get started, seems like a long series!

XD

Those look kind of racey, Jemppu ?

Ayyy.

Because I read Sands of Dune: A Collection, I was recommended To Kill and Kill Again: The Terrifying True Story of Montana's Baby-Faced Serial Sex Murderer.

To be fair, it is in the Readers Also Enjoyed section on the Sands of Dune book page, but I don't get where that overlap is coming from. The same section on the second book's page does not have Sands of Dune but has other true crime titles like you would expect.

Off-topic, but I cleared my browsing history and cookies today, and I now have the old book page back for a while. Hooray!

*makes a note to avoid Sands of Dune fans*

Today I got a recommendation that made me laugh out loud.
Because I enjoyed My Dad Wrote a Porno: The fully annotated edition of Rocky Flintstone's Belinda Blinked I should read The Twins at St Clare's by Enid Blyton.

Even if you don't know anything about My Dad Wrote a Porno that recommendation is iffy.

As someone who has read both... I can see a comparison. Both have unrealistic shenanigans in them. Both have this nostalgic feeling to them.

My only question is: who is the better author?

That is hilarious.

Because I read Piranesi, Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ is recommending Lumberjanes, Vol. 1: Beware the Kitten Holy.

This seems pretty random.

Because you are currently reading Nineteen Ways of Looking at Consciousness .....

Twelfth Grade Night

Because nothing says nonfiction neuroscience like a graphic novel about high school romance. But hey, they both have a number in the title...

If you like numbers...

Wow, thanks GR! Because I read a fantastical middle-grade adventure story about scheming academics and a deadly, unstoppable monster of man's creation...

No, wait, actually you might be on to something.

hahaha

Lol, Beth

I always do a double take when I see "Beth N commented on the topic so-and-so" in my notifications.

I grew up being the only Beth I knew - it still catches me out when I see other Beths in the world. Beth solidarity! :)

Beth N solidarity, even! (view spoiler)[(with a side of semantic satiation) (hide spoiler)]

Because you are currently reading Starry Messenger: Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization by Neil deGrasse Tyson:
Fairy Tale by Stephen King

NOPE.

This books showed up on my Amazon website recommendations for some reason: My Little Golden Book about Dolly Parton

I own no childrens books except for Eloise, the Andrew Lang Fairy Tale series and the complete L. Frank Baum and all of those are tagged as do not use for recommendations, so this makes no sense. And I didn't even know they made Little Golden Books for celebrities...

ETA: and now there's one for Betty White...

Because you shelved ¡°You Just Need to Lose Weight¡±: And 19 Other Myths About Fat People:
Small Game

"A gripping debut novel about a survival reality show gone wrong that leaves a group of strangers stranded in the northern wilds."

Starvation IS an effective weight-loss technique, but not ideal... >_>

lolol

Because you enjoyed The Valley of the Lost (a middle grade adventure, the 7th one in the series):

Heading Home with Your Newborn: From Birth to Reality by Laura A. Jana

I've wondered what you all were complaining about, because recs through the app are non-existent and the recs in the emails after I've finished a book are also fine. But now it's VBC and I'm on my computer looking at the GR browser page and the above is what I saw.

Because of course a middle grade adventure immediately leads to a new baby?????? ???

What our algorithm has done here is recommend the same book that I'm reading in translation, in its original language (Chinese). Thanks, I would never have thought of that. ?

"Because you enjoyed a Moomin book, you might want to check out this book, "Solutions for fats", with thoughts and observations on representations of obesity and body normativity".

That might be my favorite ?

This isn't exactly a Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ mishap, but... I did a search for "Book Clubs" on Amazon (US) after Allison mentioned the early access for that Amazon feature. The search didn't show me what I wanted but it did result in an Avis car rental "book now for your vacation" ad following me across Amazon-owned properties for days.

I don't know what I looked at but I'm seeing ads for rear end plugs and other sexual devices. None of which I have the least bit of interest in.

Thank you, GR. Insightful.

Had to dust off the thread for this one:

Because you shelved March: Book Two:

Who Pushed Humpty Dumpty?: And Other Notorious Nursery Tale Mysteries by David Levinthal

Break-in at the Three Bears family home? It could only be one dame. Wicked witch gone missing from her candied cottage? Hansel and Gretel claim it was self-defense. Did Humpty Dumpty really just fall off that wall, or was he pushed? Here are five fairy-tale stories with a twist, all told from the point of view of a streetwise police officer called Binky, who just happens to be a toad in a suit and a fedora. When Snow White doesn't make it to the beauty pageant, Officer Binky is the first to find the apple core lying by her bed. When an awful giant mysteriously crashes to the ground, upsetting the whole town, Binky discovers exactly who is responsible. Author David Levinthal and illustrator John Nickle retell these classic stories in the style of a 1940s noir detective novel--for kids!


March: Book Two - the biographical Civil Rights movement graphic novel written by Congressman John Lewis focusing on the Freedom Rides. Yeah, I can totally see what those have in common.

Totally.

hahaha

LOL. Nice one.....
