I just got the following email from Amazon:

quote:
As someone who has purchased or rated Firefly - The Complete Series or other films in the Fox TV > General category, you might like to know that Love Takes Wing is now available. You can order yours for just $13.99 ($8.99 off the list price) by following the link below.
Who put together these recommendation algorithms? Maybe next time I order Orson Scott Card's new book, they can recommend that I put peanut butter on my foot.

It would make more sense...

They totally ruined the Love Comes Softly books with those movies, which may be alright in their own right, but WHY change the stories? Sheesh.

Maybe there are more people out there like me who like Firefly and those books...

nah, it don't make no sense.

One time Amazon recommended that I buy a pair of socks based on some non-sock-related book I read. I don't tend to rely too highly on their recommendations.

More likely just a spammer without any affiliation with Amazon.

I love the Love Comes Softly books! I only saw the very beginning of the first movie. I did not like the changes in the little I saw.
