Nora4 | 8 comments Hello. I have a request, regarding the following series:
"Isabella Proctor Cozy Paranormal Mysteries" by Lisa Bouchard.

With this series, there are multiple things still missing, as one easily can see.

-First of all, the books are not correctly linked into a series

-Within all books, all page numbers, the descriptions and sometimes the exact release dates are missing (this counts for all editions here on Goodreads, but most only include one edition so far anyways, which means, the newer covers are missing as well).
And as I have noticed: Someone seems to add the newer books (with the old covers) of the series, but whoever does it, does not add these details at all!

-The volumes containing multiple parts at once are not added yet (or, in case of the first volume (Book 1-3), miss all details linked to it, just like the single parts)

-The last few books of the series are not added here, yet (they only contain one official edition, the Kindle Edition, so far)

This includes the following books so far:
Part 0.5: Root Cause, ASIN: B08XQ84V43 (has all details but is not linked to the series yet)
Part 1: Leaf of Faith, ASIN: B08WRSVX86
Part 2: What in Carnation, ASIN: B095V8TQH3
Part 3: Romaine Calm, ASIN: B097LWLYKG
Part 4: No big Dill, ASIN: B09CP1XKWV
Part 5: On a Larkspur, ASIN: B09MBNQG64
Part 6: Simply Irisistible, ASIN: B09MBS24X7
Part 7: Chive right in, ASIN: B09MBSLYVM
Part 8: About Thyme, ASIN: B09MBS2M88
Part 9: Hosta la Vista, ASIN: B09MCPW1X7
Part 10: Taking Stalk, ASIN: B0B2MQQWGT (this book has not been added yet at all but the new cover exist up to this book, as of now)
Part 11: Once and Floral, ASIN: B0B2N3FCNK (this book has not been added yet at all)
Part 12: Happily ever Aster, ASIN: B0B2N1ZK6B (this book has not been added yet at all)
Volumes of this series
Volume Part 1-3: Isabella Proctor Cozy Mysteries Books 1 - 3 (Isabella Proctor Cozy Paranormal Mysteries), ASIN: B0BBG147RG
Volume Part 4-6: Isabella Proctor Cozy Mysteries Books 4 - 6 (Isabella Proctor Cozy Paranormal Mysteries), ASIN: B0BDCR4QDS (this book has not been added yet at all)

Since the series is currently updating all its covers and more volume parts are expected, it is not an urgent request (I don't mind at least, if someone wants to wait with it until everything is updated by the author, but just be aware the the series is currently going under a lot of changes). Here is the link to the overview of the series on Amazon. This might help with the overview over all new covers, as well as all information needed: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B08W...

Thank you for your help. :)

Nora4 | 8 comments It has been a month and not much has changed.

I noticed that someone seems to at least add the newer books of the series that have not been on Goodreads so far but does it with the old covers and also doesn't add any details, so the fact that ALL(!) details (pages, descriptions, exact dates, etc.) for all books are missing, still counts.

I know that this probably takes at lot of time to do and I do not want to stress you out, but for the person who adds these books, it would really be helpful to add all the details from the start when adding a new book, so that at least these books are already completely added in the database.

Thank you. :)

Tami (tamicarvallo) | 6987 comments I don't know which editions exactly you are referring to but checking the logs on some of them they were added by a bot [automatic script] not by a human. Sometimes the bot imports them like that without descriptions or other details, librarians have no control over this.

I'll start working on this, not everything at once, if anyone wants to help feel free, it's a lot and it might be confusing as the request includes many parts and it's not broken down into smaller sections. So I'll try to be as clear as possible:

I started off by making the series and formatting the titles https://www.goodreads.com/series/3557... "Isabella Proctor Cozy Paranormal Mysteries Series" since that's the series name in the new covers but I made a note in the description of the other names for the series found in the old covers, those should retain the series name found on the cover.

Thank you so much for your help. :D

If you need any details, I can comment them here.

But in general, all books and editions (if there are more than one) miss the details, so I thought it gives a better overview, if I just add all titles and ASINS only before adding all the information for all books anyways and it gets messy in the overview (I really should finally try this librarian test for myself for once, so I can directly change and add these informations as I come across them).
