Imzadi | 9 comments I never had this problem before, but I cannot add this book:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...

to this series:

https://www.goodreads.com/series/3197...

The book doesn't come up in search and it was added several days ago to the database.

Imzadi | 9 comments Will do, thank you.

Imzadi | 9 comments Noticed something else, the book also doesn't come up in search in general.

That's not unusual—it can take several days for newly added books to show up in search (both in the main search and in things like adding books to series). For whatever reason this isn't the case when searching by ISBN/ASIN, but when there isn't one attached to the book (as is the case here), sometimes you just have to wait it out.

Imzadi | 9 comments Sorry, just never saw this happen before. It usually took minutes or hours. Never saw it takes days until now.

Liralen | 8224 comments No worries! If it persists, try contacting Support: https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta...

But honestly, I'd probably give it another couple of days. Sometimes the system is just slow.
