I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this already, but I'm gonna ask anyway just in case. I'm reading the third book in the Southern Reach trilogy and the bind-up is called "Area X" which kind of makes it an alternate series title. Can I use it for X than or would it have to be the bind up I'm reading?

Generally bind-ups aren't allowed anyway if the titles are also published individually.

I don't think this works for Memoir - the "biography-memoir" seems to be its own genre. Can you pick a different task?
COMPLETION POST:The Mirror & The Light
I was reading the kindle version and listening to the audiobook in turns with whispersync, so for the page count I am using the kindle and not the default edition.

I just finished I’ve got your number. I read it on my kindle and the cover there was the purple cover. However the kindle update to a different cover and none of the editions with the purple cover have a page count. Not sure what to do in the case. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

What's the E character's name?"
Sorry it's Ellie
Yes, that is the right edition. I think the app is letting me down. Thanks.
I’ve updated to the right edition and it is on my shelf. I’ll just have to get out my computer next time I have an issue. I’m beginning to think the app is only good for quick check-ins.

Most definitely. The App is otherwise quite terrible.
