Fooie | 9 comments This book has the wrong series listed when viewing on a shelf

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

When viewing the main listing it shows the series correctly as

(The Original Shannara Trilogy #3)

but when viewed on a shelf (on the iOS app) it appears wrongly as
(Heritage of Shannara #3)


message 2: by Fooie (new)

Fooie | 9 comments The first book of the series

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...

also doesn’t have the series showing when the book is viewed on a shelf (on iOS) - should be

(The Original Shannara Trilogy, #1)

Fooie | 9 comments Hi Scott, I’ve just checked and this isn’t an app functionality issue.

The missing and wrong series naming on the bookshelf listing for the above two titles also appear on the Goodreads main site.

Liralen | 8238 comments Fooie, could you have a look at how it appears on a shelf now?

This one's a little tricky because the book is in several series (though not Heritage): https://www.goodreads.com/work/135203... (Mods, would just 'Shannara Trilogy #3' be better as the parenthetical here?)

Fooie | 9 comments Hi Liralen, it’s appearing correctly for Original Shannara Trilogy Book #3 now thanks!

I’ll leave it to you guys to decide on the best practice for the first book (which is also missing the series).

Re: your question to the mods, I personally feel ‘Original’ should be included in the series naming.
