It needs to have the original publication date noted, probably. It's two different fields, due to reprints of books. If you link it here, I (or someone else) will edit it so you can add. Assuming it hasn't already been resolved ^^

Yeah, that's whack. Every now and then, the system will do that, and I have no idea why. This title wasn't previously published in another language; it's completely legit. Sadly, it is also a problem that we humble volunteer librarians are unable to fix. Go to the librarians' thread, and they should set it to rights.

Well, if you want help, for niche stuff sometimes it helps.
However, I was able to pull on Google the publication year as 2023.
The issue usually comes with translated books, as the English edition might not always be first. And if it's not English, it's hit or miss on if it gets added here.

You should be able to add, it might "take 15 min" to register.

I am running into a similar issue with another book that I would like to vote for -- "Beneath the Scarlet Frost" by Marissa Miller, which was first published in 2023. However, when I try to add it, I keep getting the message that it was "not published during this year". It was released in hardback and paperback in 2023, and it was released as an eBook and audiobook in 2024 -- I thought perhaps the system was trying to use 2024, but that list (correctly) is not accepting it either.
