Need help with series page

[Lucinda]

I'd like a librarian to add a series page for a multi-author series. Is this possible?

In order of publication:












Thanks!

Working on this.

Lucinda, this can be done. Just keep in mind that the series will only show up on the first author's author page and no other author.

Lucinda,

After some digging, it looks like Destined for Love is more of an imprint and not a series. The site does indicate that there are 3 series for the imprint: Europe, Mansions, and Theme Parks. As a result, and since based on the web site, it looks like these three are in fact series, I have made the series name for this group of books Destined for Love: Europe.

I think it's still possible that this might not be considered a series as I don't see an obvious connection between the books. So, if the PTB (Rivka) considers this to not be a series, it will get deleted.

[Lucinda]

Okay, thank you!

Is that a real series per goodreads standards? (Same universe/characters)
The descriptions seem to have different characters and settings, which would mean no series on goodreads.

The covers tie the series together. Each collection is also tied by a common destination.

As I told Lucinda, it's hard to tell right now. I've seen plenty of series where the descriptions don't really make it clear that there are relationships between the books but the relationships are there. Right now, I am using the website which does says series. Without anything to the contrary, I am going to err on the side of series for now.

Lucinda, the cover alone does not make it count as a series by Goodreads rules. A series requires a common thread, generally characters/place. Since each of these books take place in adifferent country, place is not a common thread for them. If the characters are part of a circle of friends or are family, or have some connection to each other then it works. Typically a common theme does not work as a Goodreads series.

Actually, if books 1 and 2 are by different authors, it won't show up on any author's series listing.

As far as series v. imprint, regardless of how the publisher designates it, that looks like an imprint to me.
