Have a checkbox option on the recommendation preferences page to include data from recent reads.

I'm imagining something like, if you have read lots of romance compared to other genres in the last 3 months, add romance to the genre list that the algorithm is using (if it's not already there). If you've rated horrors a lot lower than other genres recently, don't show so many horrors. And of course the same goes for the more specific micro features, not just genres.

I actually forgot that storygraph didn't already do something like this and so did a friend, I guess because we're so used to algorithms adapting based on our data everywhere else! It came up in discussion and this is what prompted me to make this request. Ofc it's good that it's not automatic, imo, because having the option to tell it what you want and only get those is great, but having the option to have it take into account recent months reading data would also be useful for many I think.
