This is some kind of Google-esque scam to see what things I might like based on my browsing history.

Well, as it seems I use the android store app for the free stuff, mine are:

Transport Empire, Magic 2015 and Gmae of War - Fire Age.

Ignoring Apps...
... well, there are only 2 things on the list that aren't apps, and they are Xbox games I already have.

I think it's more hungup on the fact I have a PS4 and less on the kind of games I actually buy,, given that the list is pretty much entirely PS4 games I have no interest in buying (Particularly many CODS and FIFAs), one WiiU game and one kindle book.

The Broken Eye: Book 3 of Lightbringer
by Brent Weeks (26 Aug 2014)

FIFA 15 (PS4)
by Electronic Arts (26 Sep 2014)

The Rithmatist
by Brandon Sanderson (22 May 2014)


Which, considering I haven't bought the first two books in The Lightbringer series, is an interesting recommendation.

Me too. It's a collection of little books, I think - the second "chapter" recaps quite a lot of the first one at the beginning, as in "previously, in Fred...".

...and done, that was very good :) I'm going to buy the rest of his stuff I think, even though you can get a lot of it for free on his website. Weirdly, buying books is something I have no problem with, strange how I can't say the same about TV and film.

Also, he is the first author I have found that interests me, who is in Kindle Unlimited.
