Rachel Lacey | 18 comments Hi! I need to add a series for one of my books:

The series is called Love in the City.

Thank you!

To be a series on Goodreads, books need to have more than a common theme -- like characters in common, an overarching storyline, a shared universe, etc. What makes this a series?

Yes, it is book 1!

Yep, I will create a page for book 2 once I have the series listed, thank you!

Ok, but how will the two books be related?

Rachel Lacey | 18 comments rivka wrote: "Ok, but how will the two books be related?"

It is a shared universe. I'm the author of the series.

Can you be a bit more specific about what "a shared universe" means in this case?

Shared characters, same world, book 2 takes place after book 1?

Sorry, I didn't realize this would be so difficult. Usually I'm able to add and manage my series myself.

Shared characters does the trick. Thanks for the clarification.

Here is your series.

When you add the next book to the database, a librarian will need to add the book to the series for you
