Anitra Lynn McLeod (anitralynnmcleod) This is the second time I've asked. Am I doing something wrong? If I am, please let me know. Thank you.

Anitra Lynn McLeod (anitralynnmcleod) Okay, can someone explain why I'm being ignored? Have I posted in the wrong place?

Goodreads Librarians are volunteers, and some requests may take some time to get a reply. If a day or two have gone by with no reply, it's fine to bump your request up by responding to your own thread.

Anitra Lynn McLeod (anitralynnmcleod) I understand and appreciate that, but other people came in and posted after me and got helped almost right away.

There can be many reasons for that. One may be that it's not so clear from a casual perusal whether that series meets Goodreads' criteria. To be a series on Goodreads, books need to have more than a common theme -- like characters in common, an overarching storyline, a shared universe, etc. What makes this a series?

Anitra Lynn McLeod (anitralynnmcleod) The books are all in the Accidental Mates series. They are numbered. They all start with "Oops!" in the title. The series number and series name are clearly printed on the covers.

None of those makes them a series on Goodreads. Do they have any common characters? A common universe?

Anitra Lynn McLeod (anitralynnmcleod) All the mates are accidentally summoned by the heroes, hence the series title "Accidental Mates." The unifying theme is this "accidental" summoning. The books are listed as a series on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07...

Miriam | 1831 comments A unifying "theme" does not meet the requirements of being a series on Goodreads. Also, Amazon and Goodreads have different requirements for what counts as a series so being a series on Amazon is not enough to qualify.

Answering the below questions will help determine if the books qualify as a series by Goodreads rules:
1. Are the books all set in the same universe?
2. Do the characters cross-over between the books?
