Allistair Firestone (allistairfirestone) | 5 comments Hello,
based on this article here (https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...), to join some books into series, I require a librarian's assistance.

Therefore, when you have time, can I ask to join these two into 1 series?
#1 Proclivity: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
#2 Peculiarity: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

The series' name is [Proclivity], i.e. same title with the first book.

I also have added the series' name inside the title (as suggested by added-book-page helper) when I added the book. Please let me know if and how to fix them, if necessary.

Should you need anything (clarification, information), please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you in advance for your help.

Yours sincerely,
Allistair

Michelle | 386 comments I'm not yet able to create the series because the books do not show up in search results by title (they don't have ISBNs), which needs to happen when adding to a series. It's my understanding it may take around five days for your books to show up in search results.

Someone should be able to help you with this next week, but please follow-up if you don't see forward progress by then.

Allistair Firestone (allistairfirestone) | 5 comments Ah yes, they're recently added and don't have ISBNs. Sure, I'll check around next week.

Thanks for the prompt response and explanation, Michelle.

Michelle | 386 comments You're most welcome!

I've set myself a reminder to follow-up on this on the 6th and to send you an update.

Michelle | 386 comments Turns out #2 shows in search now so I was able to create the series and get both added. Because they're short stories, I needed to add that they're a novella series. You should be all set now. :)

In the Note field (to avoid later librarian confusion), not as part of the series title. Edited.

Michelle | 386 comments Rivka - Thanks for clarification. I'd recently seen it done that way for another author's novella series so I thought that's where it went - for user's to see. Will add in Note field next time.

Occasionally authors actually title their series that way.
