Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 2336 comments I've checked with another Librarian & these imprints aren't series

#1 https://www.goodreads.com/series/1234...

#2 https://www.goodreads.com/series/2030...

#3 https://www.goodreads.com/series/1650...

#4 https://www.goodreads.com/series/1234...

#5 https://www.goodreads.com/series/3490...

#6 https://www.goodreads.com/series/205701 (in Arabic?)

There are some Harold Bloom lists, but I can't see these ones.

I will leave this for two weeks & if no one has indicated they want to make Listopias out of any of them I will start removing.

Thanks everyone!

Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 2336 comments I am starting on #1 now, but still time for the others if anyone wants to do a Listopia

Edit: #1 Done, I will start on #2 in about 20 hours unless anyone says they want to make a listopia out of it.

Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 2336 comments #7 I don't think this is a series either, although I can see a common theme on all but one book
https://www.goodreads.com/series/2930...

Could anyone confirm that I am right about this. I don't see a list for this one (although I see a list for Cambridge Studies with another themes)

It will be at least 2 weeks before I get to this one if anyone wants to create a list.

Edit: I've talked to an experienced librarian who also doesn't think this is a series by GR standards.

Edit: Someone else has done this. Thanks very much!

Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 2336 comments & #2 done.
Rivka has said in another thread that it isn't obligatory to put the imprint name in the format field & I haven't where there wasn't a cover as so many with covers had the wrong imprint listed in the title field.

Will start on #3 tomorrow or Thursday (my time)

#3 done. I do have a question though.
This book has a Librarian note saying not to combine with other editions as it has completely different content. This appears to have been ignored & doesn't seem to be in line with our usual policy. Should I remove the note?

Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 2336 comments & two more of these non series are coming up on the side bar

#8 https://www.goodreads.com/series/1234...

#9 https://www.goodreads.com/series/1234...

Is anyone available to do one or both of these?

Edit: Can't find a list for either of these, if a librarian would like to create one. This isn't obligatory though.

Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 2336 comments Starting on #4 now.

Edit; #4 Done. I do believe different Bloom titles have been mixed but am unfamiliar with Bloom's work so will have to leave.

Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 2336 comments & come across another one
# 10 https://www.goodreads.com/series/1234...


message 9: by Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂ (last edited Nov 09, 2022 07:09PM) (new)

Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 2336 comments I'm about to start on #5. Another librarian says this imprint is not the same as Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations. I hope a librarian more familiar with Bloom will take a look as there are books about some authors' work that are all mixed together.

Someone else has deleted #6 - Many thanks!

#5 Completed.


Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 2336 comments Starting on #8 now...


Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 2336 comments & I have decided that I am stopping after #9.

There are still more non series coming up on the sidebar & I want to go back to my usual edits. :)


Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 2336 comments #8 completed. Will start on #9 in a day or two.


Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 2336 comments Starting on #9 now


Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂  | 2336 comments OK, Up to #9 has been completed. Hopefully someone else will take #10-12 on as a project.
