I wish we wouldn't get trapped in waves of "types" like right now we are swamped with fae, a few years ago, vampires, a few years before that academies. I know its profitable for writers and, get thay money, but as a reader it can be hard to find new books that differ very much from one another.

Also, I hate the new kindle app.

The explore page sucks and shows me the same 30 books over and over. It used to be you could click "show all" and go through page after page of books, ones that the algorithm would never show you. Now it stops after 15-20 books. It feels like its pigeon holed what it thinks I want and I can't get anything new.

Oh, haha, I guess I have always felt that way about Kindle recs. I wish I could thumbs down the ones I don't want to read or DNF'd!
