SFFWorld.com series

[N.E.]

Hello,

I added the book above (You Are Here - Tales of Cartographic Wonders, but I don't know how to add it to this series:
https://www.goodreads.com/series/1328...

Could you point me in the right direction (help page)? Or is this something only librarians can do?

Thanks in advance!

I corrected the ASIN (you entered it as isbn13)
and I added it to the series as #5

[N.E.]

Oh - thank you!

Unfortunately, I think I just messed it up again. I realized I entered the ASIN number in the ISBN13 slot, but hadn't seen your note and tried to fix it. Hopefully, I didn't undo your fix.

Thanks again. :)

had a look but did only see the asin in the asin field - so everything should be ok :)

[N.E.]

Great - thanks again. :)

This doesn't sound like a series to me (according to GR standards).

Ah...would it be a collection then? Or...geez, not sure what to call them. I suppose it is just nice to have them all in one place on Goodreads, but if that's not allowed, we understand.

[Emy]

Listopia is the best place if they are not a Goodreads series.

I think it's more of a collection, yes. If you want to keep them all in one place, you could make a Listopia for them. That is used as a solution quite often in these cases.

[N.E.]

Okay - I'll go figure out how to create a Listopia. Thanks!

[N.E.]

Hmmm...okay, I create a list, but it won't let me add the books to it. It says I can't. Am I doing something wrong?

[N.E.]

Never mind! I figured it out. (I'll get a friend to do it.) :)

[lethe]

Did you create the Listopia? Can the series be deleted?

[N.E.]

I created a Listopia, but I can't get all the books on there because they are my books. I haven't asked a friend to do it because... well, because I haven't. Can one of you all vote the remainder onto the list?

Here's the list:

Here are the ones that need to go on it:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Use this link to add more that aren't in your books:
https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...

Basically when you go to the Add Books section, you see "Add books from: My Books or a Search", click on Search and fill in the ISBN, and it should show :)

[N.E.]

But they *are* my books. It says I can't vote for my books. Here's the message I receive when I try to add my books:
"Sorry, you can't add or vote for your own book on Listopia. You're welcome to add or vote for other books on this list. To learn more about using Goodreads as an author, please see our Author Program Tutorial."

Keep in mind, I only started the list because you said I should. I'm just trying to keep all of them "together" in some fashion. Just for some history, I had not created the series in the first place. Someone else (presumably a librarian?) started it a couple of years ago. When I noticed it, I thought I might as well keep it going.

So... maybe I should just abandon both ideas?

[Emy]

Ah, sorry, I misunderstood. There's two definitions of "your books".

As a reader, "My books" are books on my shelves that have been / are to be read etc.
As an Author, "My books" are the books you have written.

Apologies for creating any confusion!

[lethe]

I don't do Listopias, but would really like to delete the series. Can you find someone to create the Listopia for you, or are you okay with just deleting the series?

(And question for other librarians: is a Listopia actually allowed in this case?)

[N.E.]

As I said before, I did not create the series. I thought I was helping. Organize your database as you wish. Thanks! :)

[lethe]

Thanks, have deleted the series. As it only consisted of 5 books, not too much work was lost.
