Many Find Your Fate series

[Rosa]

Hello, knowledgeable Librarians!
There are several series called "Find Your Fate" about different TV and movie characters: Indiana Jones, James Bond, Morgan Swift (whoever she is), G.I. Joe, the Transformers, Jem, and the Three Investigators. I combined the Indiana Jones books and the James Bond books into one series, because of the numbering on the covers, but according to Librarything, the Jones books belong to the "Find Your Fate: Adventure" series and the Bond books don't. In addition, according to Librarything, some the series are called not by their characters' names, but by "Thriller," "Mystery," etc. There's also "Find Your Fate Junior," which is the Transformers series.
Could these all be combined into one meta-series? And could they all be correctly named? I'm a bit lost. Thanks for any help.

Unless they have common characters (unlikely), this is incorrect.

Please also note that LibraryThing is not a source we can use for book information. And that publisher series like "Thriller" or "Mystery" do not meet Goodreads criteria for being a series in most cases. There have to be common characters or a shared universe, not simply a shared theme.

So, should I number the James Bond books 11-14, or 1-4?

If they have an order, then 1-4. However, in many such series there is not internal chronology, and they can be read in any order. If that is the case, I would keep the series unnumbered.
