George Babec (authorgeorgelbabec) | 13 comments Only one of my books shows up on my Author Dashboard. This seems to be because they added me as only George Babec and my books are listed by George L Babec

The following book is an example of one that is on goodreads but did not associate with my dashboard: The Definitive Address Book and Internet Protocol Journal

I can list the others if necessary but I think it's my middle initial that's causing the issue.

Codex | 3400 comments Normalised two of your books to show author name on the cover as primary, and author profile name as secondary (per GR rules).

Could you please list your remaining books? This is so we can be sure not to move the wrong ones.

Journals, diaries, logbooks, etc. are generally not considered books on Goodreads due to lack of content.

George Babec (authorgeorgelbabec) | 13 comments My books are still not showing up. There is no period after my middle initial in my author name. Would it be easier to delete my account and start over?

The ones which are journals and log books won't show up on your profile, as they are not considered books on Goodreads.

As far as your middle initial, please see https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/6...

If there are other books still missing from your profile, links to them or at least book titles would help librarians look for them.

(Deleting your account and starting over would have no effect.)
