I think you're looking at this the wrong way. It's not as if the books being recommended are the books you're most likely to like; my own opinion is that KU is 99% unadulterated carp anyway. Don't be a passive consumer of marketing. You'll have to work a little harder to find to identify books you'd like, but the reward could be that you'd like them more.
OK, here's a suggestion: At OverDrive libraries, you can search on recent purchases and filter by topic. Start checking your libraries regularly, at least once a week (books are generally added on Tuesday and Friday, in my experience) for latest purchases in your favorite categories. You'll probably start out on waitlists, but eventually they'll percolate through as your holds are repopulated. You can also search on topics that appeal and limit it to available now.
