If I understand what you are seeing, it isn't "suggesting" them. The tiles work in a similar way to the home screen. It showed the last five books that had been opened or added to the device. The tiles do the same, but extend the shown items to other things. As an example, if you open the web browser, there will be a tile for the browser. So, if you open a book and return to the home screen, that book will be in a tile. In fact, it will be the first tile. If you open another book, it will take the first tile and the previous book will move to the next. If you keep opening books looking for one to read, then the previous books proceed across the screen until they disappear.

There are some tiles that appear in response to other things. If you read a kepub purchased from Kobo, then a "Related items" tile with be added with suggestions based on that book. And the "Recommended" tile will appear after a sync. All tiles except the first book tile and the Sync tile can be dismissed. And as I mentioned, my Kobo Utilities plugin can prevent most of the tiles from appearing.
