Amy | 6 comments Hello wonderful Goodreads librarians,

I'm requesting your help with a few books that have been added to the wrong Amy Stewart, one of which is part of a series and ideally would be marked as such.

This is me:

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

and this is the other Amy Stewart:

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Several of my books are currently on the other Amy Stewart's profile.

Miss Kopp's Midnight Confessions

This is Book 3 in the Kopp Sisters series, by the way.

Wicked Bugs: The Meanest, Deadliest, Grossest Bugs on Earth

There are 2 editions of that book on the other Amy Stewart's profile. This is a separate book from my 2011 Wicked Bugs. This is a Young Adult version.

The German edition of The Earth Moved is also on the wrong Amy Stewart's profile

Der Regenwurm ist immer der Gärtner

The last one is simply another edition of Girl Waits with Gun. Same book, just with a letter to Costco customers on the inside.

Girl Waits with Gun Costco Ed

Also, all of these quotes are attributed to the other Amy Stewart. Perhaps they will move over when the books move over?

I hope this is enough information. Many thanks,

Amy

Is Gemeines Getier an edition of Wicked Bugs?

Ylva (ylva_cb) | 13 comments I have the same problem, I made an entry for a book (I am not the author) and goodreads connected it to another author with the same name. I tried to fix it, but that only resulted in a dublicate :(

This is the book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

and this the dublicate https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

The right author is
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

This is the wrong author
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

I apologize for the inconvenience and I hope that you can help me.

☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments Merged the duplicate, corrected the author by adding the missing space (goodreads uses spaces to distinguish between authors with the same name, and this one has the two space profile)


☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments And it's not helpful to ask for help in a librarian note.
Librarians only can see this if they are already editing something on the book.

Ylva (ylva_cb) | 13 comments Thank you!

I didn't know that. I will be more careful next time.

Definitely sounds like it. :-)

Abcdarian | 26579 comments Combined. Neither I nor google translate are too good on German. :-)

Amy | 6 comments Hi! Yes, Gemeines Getier is Wicked Bugs. Many thanks for your help!
