T.M. Payne (booknooknuts) | 481 comments I need some help with this series for Author Julia Mills
Many books were switched to 1/2 numbers by a Goodreads Librarian and now they have messed up many of the books Such as this one... It is book #10 in the series and on Goodreads Series it's showing as book #8
Can this be fixed? I don't know about others right now but am working on each book updating things for the author.

I do know book #8 is showing as 7.5 I just hope no one messed with the blurb which does state the book # in it.

Thank you for any help with this issue

Sandra | 31526 comments That librarian was following GR policy re series numbers.

All novellas get fractions and full novels get full numbers. No blurbs would have been touched.

Unless all books in a series are novellas then they retain the full numbers.

If you change them you run the risk of losing your librarian status.

Please note that series numbering on Goodreads may differ from the numbering elsewhere, especially if the series includes novellas or shorts. See https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/4...

Edits contrary to policy will be reverted.

No edits have been done aside from putting the correct book # in the blurbs however as I stated the book above showing as #8 is in fact book #10 this needs to be fixed it's not about a 1/2 number issue it's the book has been numbered in the series incorrectly . Thank you

It may be book #10 elsewhere, but due to some of the books in the series being shorts or novellas, it is #8 here.
