Carol Weldon | 23 comments The author Kate Breslin https://katebreslin.com/ has 5 books so far that are connecting but neither she nor GoodReads have named the series. What should it be called? Since they are connecting there should be a name. I can do it, I just don't know what to call the series. I believe [assume?] that the publishing order is the reading order. She is a GoodReads author.

Thank you
Carol

Tami (tamicarvallo) | 6987 comments This was recently added to the manual: "If you are unsure of the name of a series, a good first step is to check what series name is printed on the cover art of the edition. Just as with book titles, series names should match what is on the cover of each edition. If no series name is available, please check author or publishers' sites to see if a series name has been allocated. If there isn't one, Librarians can either use the main character's name or the name of the original book."

The series can be listed in either chronological order or suggested reading order. Sometimes, these align, and sometimes they don't. It's recommended to use your judgment when making this decision. You can read "Chronological order versus suggested reading order" in the librarian manual page linked above.
