Series-typo (twice) - Superlibrarian needed(?)
date
newest »


It seems something went even "wrongerer" when I tried to add "Merle-Zyklus" as a series tag to the books of the series of "Merle-Trilogie". For reasons I don't quite understand, they show up as separate series each instead of parts of one series named "Merle-Zyklus"???
And sadly I, as a regular librarian, don't seem to be able to do anything about it...
So, for clarification:
All the books on the series page (https://www.goodreads.com/series/73628) and Serafin. Das kalte Feuer should be part of:
Merle-Zyklus.
The order would be that of the Merle-Trilogie, plus Serafin. Das kalte Feuer as #4.
Thanks in advance for anyone who'll fix this for me.

Added "Superlibrarian" bat signal to topic because I'm guessing this can only be solved by them...

As the books are original German, the German series page should be the main. And I'm not sure there should be both an German and English page, as the English editions seem to me just the same order and such, just not (yet) all books translated. Or did I miss something?
Series pages in different languages should only be made if there are real differences, we have some for series where all translations are split into multiple volumes. Or a real difference in the order of the books.

I tried to create a new series to add to the books according to what the publisher calls it.
There is an existing series page for "Merle-Trilogie" (the original trilogy). That is all fine and well.
Now there is a fourth book forthcoming, which can't be part of the trilogy series page for numerical reasons, an the publisher calls it the fourth part of "Merle -Zyklus" (Merle cycle). So I wanted to create that and did it wrongly, obviously.
Thanks for replying and sharing that link. I'll look into the creation of a series page later from home and see if I can fix this from there. Thanks a lot.

As for the question about the prequel, I did a little looking-around, and you might be right that now that there is something building outside and around the original trilogy, the prequel like the sequel should also be part of the "Zyklus" but not of the trilogy anymore.
On the author's official webpage as well as on the publisher's, the prequel isn't part of the trilogy so that might even be more of an indication.

I come here in shame. I've managed, in my excitement, to botch adding a new series to The Water Mirror twice because this book will be part of the "Merle-Zyklus" series in the German count as of February 26th 2020, not only of "Merle-Trilogie", when https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... hits the shelves.
I managed to do it right with the other parts. But I can't find the way to remove the botched series titles, and I'm hesitant to botch it again now with trying.
So could someone please be so kind to remove the two botched versions and add "Merle-Zyklus" #1 in the correct way?
(I'm not certain about the English series count for the upcoming part, so I didn't touch that.)
Thanks in advance,
Auntie Terror
