This thread is now open!

This might sound strange, but can you confirm that Sabriel is Ok for series, "The Old Kingdom"?

I ask because the series is known by both The Old Kingdom (https://www.goodreads.com/series/1955...) and also Abhorsen (https://www.goodreads.com/series/4488...), and I frankly don't trust GR and metadata!
Thanks!

For whatever reason, Goodreads decided not to notify me about your comment! I just saw your post in the task completion thread. Sorry about that!

We always go with what the Goodreads record shows and the book you linked to in the completion thread shows the series name “The Old Kingdom” so you should be fine.

no worries Kristina! I thought the metadata from my link is what you'd use, but had nerves that GR would be typical GR and change it on me! Currently seeming to be stable though :)

how about Troubled Blood? The series name is "Cormoran Strike," so that would be the "C" in "POC" right?

Yes, that works.

Freedom Flyers: The Tuskegee Airmen of World War II says Oxford Oral History Series in parentheses after the title/subtitle, but it doesn't have a link to a series page. Would this work?

No, sorry. From the FAQs: "Unless the task creator provides otherwise, the series title and # is the information given in grayscale following the title."

OK, thanks.

So 毎日晴天! 1 Mainichi Seiten 1 as a series has had a couple different titles just for their series' name, however this is mostly due to the fact that one is a romanized version for the original lettering.
Am I allowed to use "Clear Skies!" since it is the official series title in the manga translation to English?
Thank you, CELESTE.

Yes, Clear Skies appears to be the English translation of the series, so that would work.
