Becky Black (beckyblack) | 18 comments Hello

I'm having trouble adding a book to a series. (My book and series.)
This is the series page: https://www.goodreads.com/series/3705...

It's got the first one okay. And the book details page for that book (Exiles) shows the clickable series link just fine.

But I recently added the second book of the series, (which comes out in July) and included the series name and the number for this book in parentheses in the title field, as usual, but the series name is not showing on the details page for that book, and it doesn't show on the series page.

I tried to add it manually by editing the series, but there are too many search results to find it.

Is there an issue because it doesn't have an ISBN yet? My publisher hasn't allocated that yet.

I tried leaving it overnight after adding it to make sure all databases had updated, but I've still got the same issue today. If anyone can give me a clue on how to fix it, or get it added if it needs some senior librarian intervention I'd be most grateful.
