Librarian Help and Changes

[Renee]

Please drop me a message here for any changes you need made to a book listing or if I need to add one. :-)

[Sophia]

Woohoo! Our guardian angel librarian is back. :)

This is the first time I have been called an "angel" in a long time, I'm really far too mischievous...I'm going to keep you around...lol

[Sophia]

Hehe, all in the way one looks at it. :)

[Julieta]

Hi Daniella! There is no listing for “Miss Austen” by Gill Hornby, which I saw mentioned in Babblings of a Bookworm. Could you please add it?

[Renee]

Hi Julieta! I found the listing of the book, there are both the US and UK versions I see listed. Was there another version you were looking for?

Miss Austen

FYI, I love the "Babblings of a Bookworm" reviews, one of my favorites! :-)

We love you, Angel Danielle!

New book with no GoodReads listing yet - Lovers' Meeting by Catherine Lodge. Here's the Amazon link in the U.S.:

THANK YOU!

[Julieta]

Thanks for that Daniella! Evidently something went wrong with my search. Glad it’s there after all!

I've had that happen, no worries. :-)

I have the ARC of that also and will read it after I finish the one I am now reading. Good to know that there is a link here.

I just looked up To Capture Mr. Darcy by Elizabeth Ann West, and there seems to be an extraneous listing.

Hi! I got it fixed, they just needed to be combined. :-)

I think (not 100% sure) that sometimes when books are added via the automatic way from Amazon (computer-generated not by people) the upload does not have complete details or the Amazon listing has wrong information that does not get updated in a later upload.

As for why they do not appear as one in a search, sometimes people just add a new book and not a "new edition" so the books appear as two distinct works rather than 2 formats of the same book.

[Marlene]

Awesome! Good work!

[Sophia]

Howdy, Danielle!

This is not an Austenesque book, but a cooking book so I hope that's okay. The author's name is wrong on the GoodReads book page so it isn't listed with the author's other books.

The book title is: Easy Sheet Pan Cookbook: Creative, Fuss-Free Recipes by Ruby Kirwan when the author is supposed to be Ruthy Kirwan
I don't know if you need it, but here is the Amazon link with details, too: https://www.amazon.com/Easy-Sheet-Pan...


Thanks for your time, Danielle!

[Sam]

Sometimes I find this also seems to happen:

C.P.Odom

C.P.Odom

Got it fixed for you and added the paperback version for you as well. :-)

Someone put spaces between the initials, I have fixed it so they all show up under the one name. :-)

That's awesome Danielle!

You're a peach, Danielle!
At first, I was going to leave it since I found the book just fine by title, but then I thought that if others searched only by author then they might think they have to create a book page. I'm glad you could fix it.

Good to know. I'll give a holler if I notice anything like that again even for non-Auastenesque. :)

Danielle, Help!

I have no idea how this could happen but Jesse Lewis has a book that is also listed (correctly) as being written by Jessie Lewis.

Can you combine these two "Fallen" books under the real Jessie Lewis?

Thanks

[wosedwew]

Oops! This is the real Jessie Lewis page
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

An extra copy of Speechless is listed under the 2nd Jessie Lewis also
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

This could be combined with the real Speechless.

Hope this is clear. I can get things confused.

[wosedwew]

and this one is also under the 2nd Jessie Lewis

Hello Danielle. I asked a question of Sophia who suggested I ask you. I have been trying to review the audio versions of books I've listened to and have been reviewing under the book umbrella if I haven't already done that. But when I haven't, I'd like to be able to review the audio version too. When the audio isn't in the list of available versions who is responsible for adding that? Like this one,
https://www.audible.com/pd/Confined-w...
Confined With Mr Darcy, by L.L. Diamond.

What happens when there is no book or no author listed on GR for a book and audio I have and would like to review. Mary Anne Mushatt is nowhere to be found here on GR.

Hi Michelle! I am happy to add audiobooks for you. I have added the audiobook by L.L. Diamond for you. All I need from you is a link to the audiobook that has the details of the book, either through Audible (like you did) or the link to the website where the audiobook can be found. I can add a new book or add a new format if it is already listed.

Just send me the information and I can get it added for you. :-)

I was not sure where to post this but a message for help from Laina Lee concerning her FanFiction story . Message reads -
"Someone stole my story and put it on amazon, search for "The Candlelight Engagement by Sheila Gibbs ." Please help me out by posting one star reviews indicating that it was stolen from me, Laina Lee. Thank you for alerting me to this fact. I will take action to try to get it removed."

[Sam]

Why does there seem to be so much of this going on recently?

[wosedwew]

A whole lot of stories were stolen and published last October-November. This is the same MO for the most part. I suspect the same person/persons are involved.

You can help with 1-Star reviews at Amazon (Amazon is not in business to sell books that don't sell) or by clicking the helpful button on other 1-star reviews.

Eventually, all but 1 of the stories was removed last fall.

I just tried to find it and could not...maybe it has been taken down already.

[wosedwew]

It appears the stories have been removed in the last half hour!

Success!

[Sam]

If I want to add a book that is fanfiction to GR, is that allowed or even possible?

[wosedwew]

Yes, anyone can add a book. It should be a completed story, not a WIP or an abandoned story.

Awesome! thanks

[Elin]

My story "Unforgivable Sinner" has been plagiarised and released under the name: The Long Journey Home by Ellen Eriksen. It is the first time I have seen a similar name to the author being used. I hope it will not create a problem for me as I have filed an infringement report to Amazon.
Link to the stolen story:
The Long Journey Home: A Pride And Prejudice Variation https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

[wosedwew]

Elin -- it's gone! Amazon removed those stories this morning.

[Lenora]

Elin It is 10:45pm here in Ohio and I just clicked on the link and that book came up. 1 stared it and marked it stolen.

[Elin]

Thank you, Lenora!

Rose: I got an email back today that it had been taken down. I am glad the close resemblance of the names did not cause me any troubles, phew!

[Sam]

Came across this double paging and not only for this book, but for the author herself. I think she goes by Cass Grafton.

A Quest for Mr Darcy

A Quest for Mr Darcy: An emotional tale of Elizabeth and Darcy inspired by the classic

Hi Sam! I fixed the books so that both versions are together. The issue with the author I can't fix and I have no idea why there are 2. They are the same author and they were both created by the author so there is nothing I can do other than just make sure whatever name a book is published under matches.

She may have a reason why she is publishing under "Cass" rather than "Cassandra" and has kept both author pages here so those who only know her as Cassandra can still find her books. That is just my guess. :-)

[Sam]

Cool! Thanks Danielle.
She has a new one coming out and I came across the two listings while searching for the new book.

Thanks for noticing and letting me know! :-)

Hi Danielle,
Can you please add a paperback edition to Jessie Lewis' book 'Fallen'
Below is the link. Also, I think her first name is incorrect on Goodreads. It is showing Jesse and it should be Jessie.

Thank you so much for your help! Stay safe!

Danielle, please see my notes #24, 25, 26 in January about these Jessie Lewis books. I never looked back to check if these were fixed but it looks like we both missed them. If that adds to Carole's request.

I am so so sorry I did not see those, I focused only on the issue with stolen copies of books being sold on Amazon and completely overlooked it. I had to fix the name, there are 2 Jessie Lewis' here on Goodreads and I am certain our Jessie Lewis is not also an author of sex manuals...lol
