Help, please: Sam Jenkins Mysteries series

[Dobby]

I need help completing a request to add a series: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I think I got the primaries in the correct order, and I got some of the non-primaries added. They are in no particular order, and they are not numbered. I used Amazon and the author website (http://www.waynezurlbooks.net/) to help identify titles.

ETA: I was dashing out the door and forgot to provide the series link: Sam Jenkins Mysteries series

See lastest input regarding order for non-primaries: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I haven't been dealing with such numbering before, but I read the manual (https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...) and took these first published dates for the primary books:

book 1: January 20th 2011
book 2: March 15th 2012
book 3: August 11th 2012
book 4: May 31st 2014
book 5: June 25th 2016
book 6: September 27th 2016 (Jan on one edition?)

and the published dates for the novellas/ short stories in the thread, it probably should be something like this:

A Labor Day Murder 0.3
Bullets off Broadway 0.4
Murder in Knoxville 0.5
Scrap Metal & Murder 0.6
By the Horns of a Cow 0.7

Serpents and Scoundrels 1.3
Murder in a Wish-Book House 1.4
V is For Vitamin 1.5
Renacting a Murder 1.6
Fate of a Floozy 1.7

The Great Smokie Bank Job 2.5

Hurricane Blow Up 3.2
The Burglers Did It 3.3
Sam Jenkins Novelette Mysteries #1 3.4
Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves 3.5
Heaven's Gate 3.6
Nothing Fitz 3.7
The Swan Tattoo 3.8

Alvis in the Building 4.3
Graceland on Wheels 4.5
Sam Jenkins Novellette Mysteries Collection #2 4.6
From New York to the Smokies 4.7

Wow, Ayshe, fabulous job! I reordered the series just as you suggested, with one exception.

Book #1.5, V is for... Vitamin?, was originally titled A Touch of Morning Calm. That's Book #5. If it's OK with you, I bumped Reenacting a Murder from 1.6 to 1.5, and Fate of a Floozy from 1.7 to 1.6. What do you think?

I had forgotten about this project. My computer's hard drive died shortly after I posted the original request, and I was offline for about a week. Thank you so much for all your hard work!!

If they are the same book under different titles, yes, of course, your numbering is more correct.

I didn't check extensively the published dates, I just looked at what's on GR and the list in the topic you linked to - which has "V is For Vitamin - 8-22-2011 30 pages"., while some of the other editions are 307 pages? Maybe some editions were published as the short story and others as whole book?

Looks good to me, and it's so much better and more complete than it was. Again, thank you for all your time and work on this.
