Change Series Please

Please change the series name in my author profile from Growing Up at Connect to The Prodigal Ones

The Prodigal Ones Book 1: The One Who Rocked Away
The Prodigal Ones Book 2: Crazy Jenna

A Librarian Moderator probably needs to address this one.

series page: https://www.goodreads.com/series/2288...

I'm confused on this one as it appears you updated book #2's name to your new series name, even though the series name itself was not changed.
So the two books showing on the series page have a DIFFERENT series name, in their titles and on their book covers.
There are limitations on changing the name of a series, but even more so when the older name of the series is part of the cover image on series books - as it was on book #1 before you wanted to change it.
The current series page seems confusing.
It may be that the series can be renamed if the cover is changed, but that can perhaps create edition issues.

I think a Librarian Moderator is better suited to address this.

Well, no, although it does need a librarian experienced with series. In general, if you are not sure what to do about a request, it's best to leave it be -- and maybe watch to see what a more experienced librarian does with it.

So the series has not only changed names but also the series order?

Also, is there a new edition of Crazy Jenna yet?

Rivka, I would have left it but it had been from the 25th with no reply so I commented also to bump it. Next time will just say bump.

But clarification for me please, I thought if a series name is part of cover art we're not supposed to change the series name - unless they do a new edition with cover art reflective of the new title. And it seems like you are asking about a new edition for the title not changed, so it's helpful to get info from you if I'm understanding what I think I am. Thanks!!

Like this one? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Exactly. Seemed had changed name on book 2 and did new cover art with new series name, but not on book 1, so didn't think 1 could change - and seemed confusing having 1 of each. :)
But sounds like I think I got it.
