Done. Should I create a series for those too?
Luisa wrote: "Done. Should I create a series for those too?"Thx and I think so please.

All titles corrected.
Whilst I don't speak/read Turkish, I don't think this book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... is an edition of The Diary of Anne Frank...
The title of this book does not include "LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN’S PRIZE 2020". Please can you adjust the 4 editions as necessary.
ThxThis book https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio... appears to have been attributed to the wrong "Carole Llewellyn" it should be "Carole A. Llewellyn" as per the cover. Also, of the 5 editions listed, only 1 has a cover? Seems odd.
Same as #12, this book has been attached to the wrong authorhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
Also needs a combine/merge see here https://www.goodreads.com/search?q=Le...
Another author and therefore book duplicationhttps://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... is the same author as https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... (as per the amazon author page) and clearly has been set up with incorrect grammar. Please correct.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...Whoever set this up should not have bothered. This is the book that matches the ASIN https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hunt-Shrimp-... please correct and add all the relevant info.
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... This author does not have her profile appear in the search function under the 'add book/author'. Another author with the same name and no profile picture Lynn Turner does appear.
#12 done with the editions that still had Carole Llewellyn as author.#15-17 Already done by other librarians
#18 Done
#19 You seem to have to look for her as "Lynn Turner" but with two spaces between the names (matching the name under which her profile has been saved).
Thank you.Elvenn wrote: "... #19 You seem to have to look for her as "Lynn Turner" but with two spaces between the names (matching the name under which her profile has been saved). "
This should be corrected. Noone searching for an author under this particular function will think to add two spaces in between her first name and surname when looking. The normal site wide search function works fine with her name, but it making linking her as an author in an individual post difficult.
Hello, When I combined the two editions of my book (spanish and the new english edition) two things happened: 1) The title of my english edition does not show up anyomre when I search for the title 2) the people that adds the english edition to the "to read" shelf do not show up in the page (only the ones that did it on the spanish ones. Please kindly help thanks.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Please remove descriptors from the title of this edition here https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...Same here https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

I made 4 more authors, and left the Garfield coloring book as the default profile. If I split some off that you know are the same author please advise.
ThxRe #26, as per the listing for Teen Heaven here https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... 'Near-Far' is listed under the 'books by...' section which is odd because it doesn't the other way round.
And #25 is still o/s.

Also, and I'm not sure if there is anything to be done about this, but his book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9... is marked as 6.6 of the same series, but it the story in it is not a new one, it is merely a mashup of a few early chapters of book 7 of the series. I DNF'd it for that reason.But this book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... includes a short story that makes sense in the chronology and could be called 9.4 in the series."
This is a post I made here https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... way back last year that remains unresolved. TIA.
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... This author seems to actually be two if not three Vanessa Rileys. The one with her pic on the profile page is an author of historical romance and one inspirational non fiction as per her website here https://vanessariley.com/VRbooks.php.
These two authors are one and the same person so she is re-releasing the books bit by bit and is updating them in terms of formatting and editing and adding new covers under her new pen name so there are a lot of merges/combines needed as there are a number of series that she hashttps://www.goodreads.com/author/show... original profile
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... new profile
Also, none of the books under the new profile have any blurbs or a series link (there is for the original profile although the TAT series is missing two of the titles and the bond up) and there is a dupe for the title "Ps... Trust Me (TAT A ROCKER ROMANCE Book 8)"
These two author profiles are one and the same person, and I don't know why one has a middle name as it doesn't appear on the cover of her books. Also, between the two profiles, there are a number of series titles, none of which have been given a series link.
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...This author has been noted as editor on a number of books which then show up under her author profile. Three of those books also have an illustrator listed for some unknown reason.
This romance author https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... has a number of her titles attached to a different author with the same name here https://www.goodreads.com/author/show....The titles I know for definite are
Beach Reads
Between Now and Heartbreak: The Forever Trilogy Book 2 (this is a dupe). And TSoT (The Sound Of Temptation) and TAoP (The Art of Persuasion) which the author advised in her newsletter is a rewrite of her Forever trilogy here https://www.goodreads.com/series/2661....
These books have been attached to the wrong Wendy Holdenhttps://www.goodreads.com/work/editio... this one is doubly odd as some of the editions say Taylor Holden which is a pen name for the Wendy Holden that writes mostly non fiction as per her website here http://www.wendyholden.com/my-titles.php
And this one https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...
And this edition of this one https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
The Wendy Holden that wrote these books is here
The Taylor Holden penname is here https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... and carries duplicates of many of her books. These two names should be linked.
Also, the books under this THIRD Wendy Holden here https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
are a mixture of books from the other two
1) https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
website here http://wendyholden.net/
2) https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
And these two are the same book (dupes)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... this one is missing the blurb
https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...
that have been attached to Wendy 2 when they are by Wendy 1
And I've spotted others that are with the wrong Wendy. All three of these profiles need to looked over with a fine-tooth comb, all the books wrongly assigned corrected and the third Wendy needs to have all the books under it attributed correctly too. Which will probably end in an empty profile.
They seem to be mixed up on amazon too!
https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...There's a number of issues with this authors book list.
Dupe listing for Unbroken Promises of the Heart, one missing the cover
A series link for Unbroken Promises of the Heart and Enduring Promises of the Heart
My Bigfoot Boyfriend is missing both cover and blurb
#25 Done but The Love that Hurts: A Story of Domestic Violence actually has that as a subtitle on the cover.#29 Was probably because it takes a bit for the updates to go through.
#30 Looks like they were corrected as they now belong to different series.
#31 Done.
Thx#32 onwards are still o/s.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... is a french edition of https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... and is also missing the blurb.
And this one https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... shoild be added to the series above.
And for the same author, there are a number of other language editions of some of the books that are listed seperately. https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...
#32 Making a startSo far - Added descriptions to all the new pen name's books.
Both editions of Ps... Trust Me have an ASIN, so both are valid. Cover appears distorted on both editions, but cover is different on Amazon, so I can't do anything about that, unfortunately, but I have added an ACE with new cover. Found books on default Melanie profile & moved over. Have completed adding Melanie's name to the books except for one that I have to ask a question about. Done most of the combining.
Edit; I have now gone as far as I can. Another book in the TAT series has a distorted title, again this cover no longer on Amazon, so there is nothing I can do about it. One untitled edition of the Paradox series now awaiting a merge in the Supers thread. I will neeed to renumber #3 but I don't want to confuse myself! Complete Me is a compilation of the TAT series - have asked in the Policy & Practices if I need to move that over to the original author name as well, as this appears only under the second name. I've asked an experienced Librarian who was also unsure. Any other tidying up needed I'll finish up after these two matters dealt with.
#34 skipped
#35. I've removed Andrea as editor. Removed illustrator. One book I have added the author name. (LaVonda Brown)
#37 Removed illustrator (checked look inside on Amazon)
Thxhttps://www.goodreads.com/author/list... this author's name has been misspelt as per the covers. She is actually this author here https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
ThxBut #19/21 (Jun 4th), #30 (part 2), #34, #38/39, #41, #43 are all still o/s
and #32 and #36 are unfinished.
https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...This author has one series with no series link, another where the two bind ups should be added to the series link and one duplicate book listing - Falling in Love (The Sisters of Rosefield Book 4).
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...and https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... are the same author and include a number of du;icate listings for the same book. Younger and Older are also books 1 and 2 of a series so require a series link.

BUMP
https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...Most of the books listed are those the author has narrated not written.

Looks like he is correctly listed as Narrator on these. Narrators get their own profile like regular authors, illustrators, etc. Books he has written will appear on the same profile as those he has narrated.

Please, someone please do something about these utterly ridiculous 'titles'...
