Lisa (anzlitlovers) | 133 comments Hello, I'm sorry, I've mucked up a series...
I started out by adding the series for The Art of the Engine Driver and called it Glenroy Series #1.
But when I came to add #2, I realised that I should have just called the first one Glenroy series and let the GR system do the numbering.
What it should be is this:
#1 The Art of The Engine Driver
#2 The Gift of Speed
#3 The Time We Have Taken
#4 A Spirit of Progress
#5 Forever Young.
Can someone please fix my mistake? Thanks, Lisa

What is the connection between these books? I don't see the same characters.

From the manual: As a general rule, a book is only part of a series if that designation would apply to all editions of a work. To be a series, books should have characters and/or universes in common.

Lisa (anzlitlovers) | 133 comments Hi, thanks for that.
Yes, it is a series, and the characters Vic, Rita and their son Michael feature in all of them. They have the same 'universe: all the novels are set in Glenroy (a suburb of Melbourne). Wikipedia needs updating but see http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/b... and https://www.themonthly.com.au/issue/2...
