Ivy Smoak (ivysmoak) | 50 comments Hi!

I have a book incorrectly marked as part of The Hunted series. It is a standalone novel and is unrelated to The Hunted series.

The Light to My Darkness says "The Hunted #5." If you could please remove this novel from The Hunted series since it is a standalone novel, that would be fantastic. Here is the goodreads links to the book:

Hi, Abc. This book is a retitled ACE edition for the book Foundation, which is Hunted #5. It looks as if two Librarians (hands up, I was one of them) both worked on this unknowingly in reply to Ivy's previous post - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I'm a bit too new at this to be able to confidently parse the Logs for each book and find out what went wrong (hands up in advance, it might have been me).

Sorry for any confusion.

Abcdarian | 26579 comments Thanks Hugo; I just took the author at her word and didn't check the editions. Added back to series.

Ivy Smoak (ivysmoak) | 50 comments Hi!

I actually am still trying to remove it from the series. I'm re-branding my novels and this is a standalone with just a few of the same characters. I had originally grouped it into the series, but it really doesn't fit. Is there any way to remove it?


message 6: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31517 comments If it has some of the same characters and they'd be in the same universe, by goodreads standards, it is part of the series. It doesn't have to have a number, it can be part of the world of the series.

As a reader, I like reading books with characters I already know.

Hugo (hugo_nebula) | 740 comments As a follow-up to this:

1: Phew! I thought I'd messed up.

2: As two Librarians actioned the original post and created two ACE editions (presumably their lack of ASINs allowed this?), is it okay for me to now Combine them?


message 8: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31517 comments Hugo, one of them needs to be merged I imagine, rather than just combined.

I Separated the two new Kindle editions out and Merged them, deleting the one I added, as it was the newer of the two. I'd be grateful if a Librarian with more experience could cast an eye over it - once it's cached - to be sure I've done it correctly. Thank you!

Ivy Smoak (ivysmoak) | 50 comments Now my book is showing no ratings or reviews...


message 11: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 31517 comments It's just a caching problem Ivy, it takes a couple of days and they'll all be back to normal.

Combined.

Also working on renumbering series. Parts of books get 1A, 1B, etc., not 1.1, 1.2, etc. They also go at the end of the series, not mixed in.

And a general reminder: comments on a specific user's edits are not allowed in this group.
