Talk to me, please! I'm going mad with boredom here - I can only do so much "researching potential targets" before I get distracted and end up looking at second-hand cars instead of Toyota's corporate website.

Amazon has decided (on the basis of buying WK) that I have appallingly bad taste. The synopsis of its top recommendation reads as follows:

Until the Full Moon
Vol 1
Marlo has a problem. On the night of the full moon, this half-werewolf, half-vampire undergoes a mysterious and terrifying transformation: He turns into a girl. Desperate for a cure, his parents call on Doctor Vincent, a long time family friend. But Marlo wants to keep his condition secret from Vincent's son, the vampire playboy David. Unfortunately, the secret gets out, and a new problem surfaces: David is interested in Marlo's female form! If a remedy can't be found, their parents believe the next best solution is marriage - a marriage between Marlo and David!

Vol 2
Who would have thought that there was anything worse than changing into a woman on nights of the full moon? Marlo certainly didn't. But now his engagement to David Vincent, the handsome skirt-chasing vampire, has been jeopardized by threats from the past. When one of David's former flames sends for him, begging for help, she neglects to include all the details. then a glass of "special" wine causes some childish complications. And to make matters worse, it seems that David's father has a few secrets of his own that may very well tear David and Marlo apart. Can Marlo and David overcome these pitfalls, or is their love doomed to fail?

Gosh.

I think I've read that HP/Buffy crossover. O.o It's amazing how far Find & Replace will get you up the publishing ladder. O.O

*checks her Amazon.co.uk recommendations*

Umm, don't hate me but I'm getting a shitload of Richard Armitage DVDs, a 12" Cyberman, lots and lots of scary maths books and a few books on Frank Whittle & Jet Engines back in my results. O.o Though, weirdly, they only ever send me 'you might like' e-mails for stuff I've already bought from them. *scratches head*

I only have 5 recs. I forgot my old password and the account I used to use is totally dead, so I had to set up a new one. I've only made one order, so I suppose Amazon does have *some* sort of excuse.

Mind you, what happened to the "See more recommendations" button?

Ahhh, I think it must be Amazon's way of punishing you then. *nods firmly*

The 'See more recs' button is now a text link under the 'Recommended for you' paragraph on the main Amazon page when you're logged in.
