Hi, could you please let us know how the stories connect? Shared imaginary world, cross-over characters, or only the theme?

[Sarah]

Common theme. :)

Many thanks for your quick reply. I'm afraid a theme-only collection doesen't meet Goodreads criteria for being listed as a series.

The rule in full, section "Imprints are not series":

I might have misunderstood the question. They’re listed on Amazon as a series, but just not linked here. It’s a multi-author series, so it doesn’t share characters or a common world, but they are all fairy tale retellings with an autumn theme.

Hello again,
How the books are listed / marketed on other sites is not relevant for Goodreads' rules. If they don't meet the criteria of shared world or shared characters, they don't qualify as a series per Goodreads' definition as you can see on the rules page I linked to earlier.

Readers can and often will gather themed collections as Listopia Lists, which is another way to find the books on Goodreads.

Got it! Thanks for your help! :)
