Might want to change Lighthouse to https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... because the edition linked currently is an audible edition.

For Empty Places I would recommend the edition with LeVar listed as narrator: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

When a Man Falls From the Sky is listed twice, one is the edition that is just the 24 pages title story, and the other is the full anthology - but I am not sure why they are not separate books in the goodreads database.

Graham Greene - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
This edition has LeVar as narrator and a description of the story so we can refresh our memories when checking our lists.

Thank you for this list! I appreciate it a lot and am disappointed that Goodreads does not allow for non-vote lists. I wonder if the list of podcasts in order could be added to the description? I hope these links can help improve the list - I think only the list manager can remove books or change editions.

This list is awesome, thank you!

Hi Blue, thanks so much for suggesting ways to make this list more useful! It looks like I can only remove the books that I have personally added, not ones voted and added by other people. I'll see if I can change the editions referenced here. I am adding the name of the podcast episodes and will keep this updated through Season 2 of the show.

I've been looking for a list of the novellas and short stories from the podcast that are listed as solo works on Goodreads. I added a few early on to my Read shelf, but now the listings have been altered and appear as the complete short story collections, etc. This is frustrating since I didn't actually listen to the entire collections.

Anyone know of a list somewhere of the solo stories? TIA!

Wow good catch. I recall some were the books and some the short stories, and I was careful to pick the shorts. It really sucks that they got merged - some completely lost the title of the short while at it.

You probably do not care to read this, but this kind of change reaffirms my desire to move off Goodreads. I visit and update less and less but I want a system and old stuff backed up before I stop so I do not jave a gap of books read.

Apparently the list description has a maximum size I've hit when updating it, so here it is the full list:
