Problem with Non-existent Duplicates

[Danita L]

I regularly check (about once a week or so) my duplicates which are most often created when a giveaway is entered for a different edition and that edition is then also added to the Want to Read shelf.

But today is a different problem altogether. There are NINETY-SEVEN (97) duplicates listed! Of those, only ELEVEN (11) are true duplicates because I either own or have read multiple editions.

The other remaining 86 books listed are NOT DUPLICATES. When I click on View All My Editions, it only shows ONE edition. And if I go to the book itself and click on All Editions, only ONE edition is shown with a status.

There are even a couple books in the list that I have neither read nor want to read. They have NO STATUS in My Books at all.

Can somebody fix this?

Thanks! Do you need them separated - these are the only books that are TRUE duplicates:

Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

Beowulf by Unknown

A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole

Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell

Frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

If on a Winter's Night a Traveler by Italo Calvino

The Man Who Planted Trees by Jean Giono

The Odyssey by Homer

The Bodhicaryāvatāra / A Guide to the Bodhisattva Way of Life by Śāntideva

The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
