and add to this series here https://www.goodreads.com/series/1875...

Also, the search function isn't working properly... I copy and pasted "Sal Gabrini: Gemma's Daughter " in the search bar and nothing came up.

There seems to be a space between the authors initials on one of these listings.

kittykat AKA Ms. Tortitude | 2510 comments I see.

This author https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
is the same as this author https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
which you can see from the amazon profile and book list https://www.amazon.co.uk/Charity-Well...


kittykat AKA Ms. Tortitude | 2510 comments https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...

The Lion and the Unicorn is duplicated and Unless You Can Be a Unicorn is triplicated.


kittykat AKA Ms. Tortitude | 2510 comments 2 x kindle editions here https://www.goodreads.com/search?q=Sw... also add cover and blurb please.


kittykat AKA Ms. Tortitude | 2510 comments https://www.goodreads.com/search?q=Th...

They are both books 1-5 not 1-4 of the series as one of them says.


kittykat AKA Ms. Tortitude | 2510 comments https://www.goodreads.com/search?q=Bi... and neither of them have a blurb.

#112 - I'm not sure this is the same Charity Wells. Amazon page says: "Her debut novel, 'The Lion's Prize,' was released April of 2018."
The Trouble with the Supernatural was published in 2010.

#113-117 done earlier

#118 - according to the cover and page count the book marked #1 in series in fact included a short story, corrected. Maybe combining was done earlier.

#119-124 seems to be done earlier

#125 done

#126-127 done earlier

#128 done

#129-130 done earlier

#131 - I'm not sure, descriptions are comletely different. skipped

#132 done

#133-138 done


kittykat AKA Ms. Tortitude | 2510 comments Thank you.

#114 has not been done
#115 is incomplete
#118 has not been done. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... is one listing where it has been and is therefore included with all the other versions of book 1 in the series link
#131 see here https://www.goodreads.com/book/398633...

Ekaterina Okuneva (okuneshku) | 3801 comments #114 - seems combined correctly, vol.1 and vol.2 in Greek shouldn't be combined with full editions. Also there is a librarian note about it.

#115 - finished: The Lion and the Unicorn is combined now.

#118 - ok, I looked into wrong listing:)
Separated, combined with "Dragon Actually / A Tale of Two Dragons". As it was added manually I think it might have wrong page count (or it was altered on amazon). It is Kindle edition from 2008 with no ASIN and 353 pages. But other kindle editions with this cover has 500+ pages. Maybe some of non-ASIN Kindles are duplicates, but since I can't verify them, they stay.

#131 - ok, thanks. Combined and note added.

But now those editions are separated from the series that they belong to which means any reader coming across that particular listing will not see that it's a vital part (ie the START of) a long-running series.

Thx. I have a question though - when you look at the book page for any of the recent editions, only the recent editions are laid out to view (out of only 6 in total listed so why are they not all in view?), and that one, in particular, has the highest number of ratings attached to it. It only shows when you click on 'All Editions' tag. Why is that and can it be corrected?

I agree, it should be included into the series. Author's recommendation about order of reading said that it might be considered as #1: “A Tale Of Two Dragons” from Dragon Actually, 2nd edition. But according to GR manual, we combine books with same content, so book #1 should be a single-novel edition combined with sigle novels .
Are you familiar with this series? Because I'm confused with numbering , there are 2 different titles of Dragon Kin #1, and the note here explains how it was published. I guess, it is similar to our situation, so maybe it would be ok to add another Dragon Kin #1?
But I also think it might be helpful to start a new thread in "series" department, because other librarians could know better than me.

About your question of #131 - it happens all the time, usually because of cache issues. We have to wait some time, that's it.
By the way, now I'm afraid it might be caused by combining books from 2 series. I will try to un-combine them and check and post an update.

UPD: after separation and cache refreshing 2 other editions showed for each book. I think probably we should keep them apart with notes attached? I'm sorry I don't have a quick solution here.


kittykat AKA Ms. Tortitude | 2510 comments Thx
