Lyn Horner | 13 comments Hello,

I need help creating a series. The name of the series will be: Rendezvous With Love

Book 1 in the series is My Voyager https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Book 2 in the series is My Scoundrel
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

See https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/...
'To be a series, books should have characters and/or universes in common'


message 3: by Lyn (new)

Lyn Horner | 13 comments Yes, they do. I tried to follow those instructions but it kept saying i needed a librarians help


message 4: by Martin (new)

Martin | 35788 comments I have read the descriptions and the books don't seem to have common characters or universe?


message 5: by Lyn (new)

Lyn Horner | 13 comments Yes, they are the same universe.

I apologize, the series name should be LEGENDARY RENDEZVOUS for these two books.

Martin | 35788 comments I'm still not sure these meet the criteria for a series on Goodreads but maybe another librarian who knows more about the genre will see it differently.

Scott | 9097 comments It sounds to me like they simply share a theme.


message 8: by Lyn (new)

Lyn Horner | 13 comments They take place in the same universe. You can see on the covers they are in the same series - it meets the requirements of a series and as the author, I am confirming it is a series. Do I need a librarian's support to make this a series? I tried myself but got a error saying I needed a librarian's support.

Thank you for your help in advance.

Scott | 9097 comments The "universe" seems to be ours, rather than a made-up one, so that doesn't count.


message 10: by Lyn (new)

Lyn Horner | 13 comments Since that conversation I have updated the book covers to align with them being in the same series. It was a clerical error on my part on the covers but it has been fixed. These books take place in the same universe.


The name of the series will be: Legendary Rendezvous

Martin | 35788 comments As far as I can see they still do not meet Goodreads requirements for a series.
This is nothing to be concerned about, Goodreads has unusual requirements for this - it is often the case that books that authors and readers would consider parts of a series cannot be entered as such here.

Lyn Horner | 13 comments Crazy! I'm the author. I know when the books I write are part of a series. I do not like being told that they are not.
