Diana Rising (dianaruthr) Hi, I noticed GoodReads lists 3 books by Penny Reid with different titles and series names than amazon.com. I questioned the author and she commented back with the information, which matches amazon.com. The series name should be different, as well.
Thanks for any possible help.

These are the 3 books:
Attraction (Elements of Chemistry, #1) by Penny Reid -- should be "ATTRACTION: Elements of Chemistry part 1 (Hypothesis Series)"

Heat (Elements of Chemistry, #2) by Penny Reid -- should be "HEAT: Elements of Chemistry part 2 (Hypothesis Series)"

Capture (Elements of Chemistry, #3) by Penny Reid -- should be "CAPTURE: Elements of Chemistry part 3 (Hypothesis Series)"

Here is the question and answer:
Diana Rising asked Penny Reid:
Hi Penny, I am curious what is the correct title for each of your latest books. On Amazon.com it says "Elements of Chemistry: Attraction (Hypothesis Series Book 1) and on GoodReads the same book is called "Attraction (Elements of Chemistry #1)" and GoodReads calls the series "Elements of Chemistry." It seems like it could confuse readers looking for the book. Which one is correct?

Penny Reid I can see why this would be confusing!!
It's--
"ATTRACTION: Elements of Chemistry part 1 (Hypothesis Series)"
"HEAT: Elements of Chemistry part 2 (Hypothesis Series)"
"CAPTURE: Elements of Chemistry part 3 (Hypothesis Series)"
-- all of which add up to equal: "Elements of Chemistry (Hypothesis Series #1)"

I will have more books in the Hypothesis series (all "New Adult") and hope to publish one each calendar year. :-)

Susie (dragonsusie) | 2469 comments OK, it might be confusing, but that means that, technically, they should be listed under BOTH series. The reason for this is, with regards to split books, it means that it makes it easier to find the other two.

However, I have added the Hypothesis series and will go through and update the titles, setting that as the main series:

Diana Rising (dianaruthr) Thanks. The link doesn't seem to work right now.

lethe | 16361 comments It seems another librarian deleted the series shortly after Susie created it. I'll better leave this for Susie to sort out.

Edit: I have flagged the deletion.

Susie (dragonsusie) | 2469 comments Hmmm, yes, it was done within a couple of hours of working through it.

I'm going to leave it for now, until Rivka is about. I don't want to start a possible "edit war" on this.

Go ahead and add the series back.

Susie (dragonsusie) | 2469 comments Right, here we go again!!

Am tidying up the names again now.


message 9: by Diana (new)

Diana Rising (dianaruthr) I see the hypothesis series now. Can it be on Penny Reid's page, too?

It takes a while for author pages to update (can sometimes take up to 48 hours, because of the caching), so don't worry - it will show up there eventually! If you actually click on "series" on her page, you can see that it's already listed under all her series:
