Werner | 109 comments Richard Prosch, https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... , (who's not a Goodreads author) has a series of books featuring heroine Jo Harper, five of which are recognized by Goodreads as part of the series: https://www.goodreads.com/series/1599... . There are, however, at least nine books in the series. The ninth one is The Flight of Lydia Grimm; but no matter how I edit that record, I can't get Goodreads to register it as a part of the series, even though the "(Jo Harper #9)" after the title proper seems to be the legitimate way of designating it as part of the series. (That addition was already present before I started, albeit with more spacing than it was supposed to have; but the Goodreads record treats it as simply part of the title, and otherwise ignores any connection to the series.)

Arenda | 26447 comments Added book 9 and the other missing books to the series page: https://www.goodreads.com/series/1599...

Books can only be added to a series by editing the series page, not by adding the series name to the title of a book.
