It's explicitly trained to predict the next book read in a sequence, which is why you get that behavior. There's probably a better way for me to handle it rather than having 5 books from the same series tend towards the top though.
If you have the data to know the other books in a series maybe split the results so you have "books in series" in one column and "books not in a series mentioned" in the other but other than that it did a better job than Kindle recommendations which are often hilariously off the mark.
