I've tried twice to put my upcoming book onto the site but it isn't showing after several hours. Now I wonder if it's going to appear twice. LOL Is there some glitch today or am I just going to have to wait?

It takes about a week for new books to show in search.In the meantime you can always search by ISBN.
Why does it say ten minutes then when I loaded it?
Barbara wrote: "Why does it say ten minutes then when I loaded it?"That is the default message. It applies to most edits, but not the searching by title or author for brand new editions.
If you click here, you will see the duplicate books that you added. https://www.goodreads.com/author/list...
They always show immediately in your list of works after you add them.

The message should be changed then. I can't see why it should take so long now when it didn't before.

I see the two copies, Emily. Can I get rid of one??
If you would like the message to be changed you'll have to voice that opinion with Goodreads. We have no control over site functionality. You can bump this post by replying to it once the combine and merge function has been restored. Keep an eye on this announcement. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Thank you, Emily. I see only one book there now.
