Bradley (br0tad) | 12 comments This isn't a /huge/ project, but I'm posting this here based on "bulk lists of other edits." A friend of mine has self-published/printed a number of books and as I'm reading one right now, would like to log it and noticed that their books could use a bit of cleanup.

1. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
1a. Add Cover: https://i.imgur.com/aDts1i4.jpeg - source: I scanned my copy of the book
1b. Add Page count and binding: it is 165 pages long, paperback
1c. Add Description:
"It doesn't matter how we got here, what matters is how we move forward.

In the uncomfortably not-so-distant future, the world has been ravaged by natural disasters, water shortages, and public apathy. People like Kai Gilling have flocked to the desert (once known as the American West) in hopes of finding a better life. After picking up a pair of siblings, the three come across a stranger woman who claims to have a map to Arcadia, an urban legend rumored to by the only city thriving in the wreckage of the old world. Will they keep their hearts set on an oasis in the desert... even if it's just a mirage? Or will they be tempted by something else?"
1d. Add Series: it is the first book in the "Road to Arcadia" series, following the same main character on his quest to find the moving city of Arcadia. The sequel is below.

2a. Change title: this appears to be a duplicate listing for the first novel, but I thought maybe it was easier to update the title to "The Path East" since there is no other information provided about this listing.
2b. Add Cover: https://i.imgur.com/VNiAnZt.png - source: I scanned my copy of the book
2c. Add Page count and binding: it is 342 pages long, hardback
2d. Add Description:
"The adventures of Kai Gilling continue...

Kai Gilling has finally hit his stride. His found stability in his new, ever-moving home by joining the R&R - an organization dedicated to saving those in need.

All he has to do is complete training and make nice with a new, eclectic group of teammates. But will old promises prevent him from living the new life he's made for himself?"
2e. Add Series: it is the second book in the "Road to Arcadia" series, following the same main character on his quest to find the moving city of Arcadia. The first book is above.

Hopefully this all makes sense! :) Overall, just adding missing information, changing the one duplicate listing to be the sequel, and putting the two together as a series.

Bradley (br0tad) | 12 comments It looks like someone removed the duplicate listing, so now the second book here would have to be created instead of just updated.

Bradley (br0tad) | 12 comments Yeah I looked at that already and this section seemed like the best option, so that was no help! If you want it posted somewhere else just say that.
