Two authors with the same name...

I was adding books by Alice Adams to my to-read list and this one turned up:

Here's the profile of the novelist, Alice Adams:

The book about truck driving is probably not written by the novelist Alice Adams, but by another writer with the same name. I know that we can separate this one out, but then what to do? Or would one of you please just take care of it? Thanks!

Got it Ellen

I added a second space to the author name Alice^^Adams - this profile has other "trucking" books

I will see if I can separate further

I think you should write "Alice Adams (II)" like they do on the website IMDb when there are more than two persons with the same name. I think it's less confusing.

Using multiple spaces is the method Goodreads uses to disambiguate authors.

Thanks so much, Paula. I wasn't sure how to handle this one.
