Is there a way to stop the private collection from interfering with recommendations and stats?

It could be a consequence of it still being in development, but I wasn't able to find an option to get my privated books to stop messing with my recommendations and stats. Is there anything I can do?

The private books 'feature' is very buggy. It stopped being developed years ago.

Private books will always be in stats. Can't stop that. Just like Wishlist will always be in stats.

If you don't want private books related to recommendations, you should put them all into a single collection (And no other) then set the collection to not be included in recommendations.

And in case it's not apparent, if the advice in >3 gilroy: is followed we then can set the red selector button at the top on the Charts & Graphs pages to Your Library (instead of All Books) which then shows only the Your Library portion of our account.

Thanks! This is definitely better than before.
