I've had a look and the most recent editions/titles and covers for books #4 and #5 are these (not the previous ones listed in your update) I am sorry for the confusion, I can only wonder how the readers feel. I hope these links are more precise

A Second Chance (Mercy Inc. #4) by Lynne Marshall | Goodreads

Then and Now (Mercy, Inc. #5) by Lynne Marshall | Goodreads

Goodreads has made this difficult for me by never letting older editions go and never letting the author delete older editions of self-published books. I hope the most updated links are embedded in the above. I know Librarians do this voluntarily, so I hate to ask for this correction and more use of your time.

thank you again,
Lynne

Dee (austhokie) | 897 comments you can set which book you want as the primary version of the book - but goodreads doesn't delete older versions of book records

And here is the most updated link for the edition that goes with the series.

Sorry for this confusion - it makes me want to tear my hair out, but this is how Goodreads seems to set up the system.

Thank you again, and I promise not to bother again! ;)

I have tried but it doesn't change for me.
What am I doing wrong?

I appreciate your input,
Lynne

Sandra | 31529 comments Here are the instructions for making a default edition, if you can't get them to work, you'll need to contact support, as librarians don't have the power to make default editions.

Okay - I have made the change, but here is what was holding me up - I was in the "new beta" mode and nowhere could I find "edit books details" there. So I had to get out of beta and go back to the tried and true and there it was - edit details. Yeah!

Now my question is: Will this change automatically fix the covers in the linked series section?

OK - I just checked that that completely fixed my problem.
Thanks everyone!
