Olivia (livka) | 7926 comments The missing part is the series title in the parenthesis in the title field, but it is not a required information as per Goodreads policy, so you might want to ask support why the books on the bookshelf appear differently if the series title is present tin the title field.

Also, a series title formatting with a coma is the older standard. Currently both formatting with or without coma is correct.
