I've moved the other book over to your author profile and have combined both books and have noted on the latest edition it's original title:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1....
Combining means that the ratings and reviews are spread across all editions, as a work: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio.... So all ratings and reviews will appear, whichever of the editions you look at (unless you use the filters, of course!). Do note that it might take some time for the average rating to update after the combine.
You can set the latest edition as the default by following the instructions here.
#4 done! I've no idea how they ended up separately, as the spelling for both appears to be the same!
For future reference, the difference in #4 was between 'ó' and 'o'+'acute accent character'. I'd keep the profile with 'ó' because that's what feels more natural and what I would type as a speaker of a language with several accented letters (though admittedly I'm not familiar with Catalan).

Having copied them both, they appear on my screen as "ó" and "ó", which to my eyes show no difference. But thanks for the info! :)
The way to tell them apart is by placing your cursor to the right of the character and pressing backspace: the first "ó" in your post is a single character and is deleted with a single backspace, while the second "ó" is made of two characters and so the first backspace only deletes the accent, leaving an "o" behind. Aside from this they look identical for a human user and I'm only pointing out the difference because GR considers them different enough to create different authors.

That's a very useful tip, thanks! :D I've never come across it before, so I couldn't figure it out at all!

And Ren's #6 comment is correct, Catalan correct version is "ó" not "o'".
Many thanks for fixing it!
Please merge this two authors (they are the same). The correct version is the one with the diacritics, "Lluís Maria Todó":Lluis Maria Todo
Lluís Maria Todó
Many thanks!

I tested two titles on Amazon and decided to run with the latter.
Can this be changed to the one book under the one name and be added to my author dashboard?
Is it also possible to keep the reviews and ratings for Serial Killer In Love but to apply them to the second title?
Thanks,
Safia.
