Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

Hello, and thank you for everything you do!

I'm a Goodreads Author and I've run into something I can't resolve from my end — I'm hoping a librarian can help locate and combine some editions.

The work: The Song of Seven Fires, The River of Sacred Waters, The Ocean of Endless Night, The Garden of Rotted Roots, The Tempe of Silent Stone, all by Ariana August

My author profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

The situation: My author profile still shows that I as an author have 40 reviews, so the reviews seem as though they must still exist somewhere in the Goodreads database. But I can't find them anywhere — they don't appear on the current edition's page, and I don't see the older edition listed under "other editions." It seems the reviews are attached to an older edition that's no longer surfacing (possibly orphaned/disconnected from the current work grouping).

For context: that older edition was previously sold on Amazon and is now unpublished there, though the book remains available wide through other retailers. My understanding is that the reviews still exist regardless of retail availability, and that combining the older edition with the current one would pool all the reviews so they display across every edition.

My request: Could you help locate the older edition holding these 40 reviews and combine it with the current edition? To be clear, I'm asking for a combine (which keeps all editions and pools the reviews), not a merge or deletion — I understand merges of editions with 5+ reviews require a Superlibrarian, and I am fairly certain that's not what I need.

I'm not able to find or link the older edition myself since it isn't surfacing on my end, but I'm hoping it's findable from the database side. Please let me know if there's any additional information I can provide.

Additionally, each of those books has a new (and final) cover. Links are listed below, in order.

Thank you so much for your help!

Librarians have no way of finding deleted or invalid editions without an ASIN or ISBN to look up. If you have any of those please let us know. Otherwise you can try Goodreads Support.
