BUG in marketing OR How not to annoy me by filling my email in-box

Today I received email with the title "Last chance to get your free book of the month". As I frequently forget to look for free books and as the benefit does not roll-over to the next month, I think "Great, they reminded me". Then I click to open the email. Sure enough, it was again an offer for books already in my library ... my "great" turned to annoyance that Faithlife wasted my time with a useless email.

    That would be a massive improvement in FL's overall email marketing strategy.
