I have some newbie questions. I'd like to add my upcoming book (my previous publication was added by someone else). It's for kindle and will have no ISBN. I don't even have an ASIN ..."


You can add it without the ASIN now and ask a librarian to edit it in later

Marina Finlayson | 285 comments Has Goodreads achieved sentience?? I just went to finally begin the job of getting my brand-new book up on the site, and found it's already there, less than 24 hours after it was published.

Is there some kind of automated process, or did some kind librarian fairy wave their magic wand for me?


message 1059: by Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen (new)

Brenda | 79994 comments Mod
No automated process; probably a librarian noticed it and put it up for you. Unless your publisher did it, as they do that as well:)

Actually I just checked - it says Amazon_kcw put it there:)

Is the "combine" feature working yet? Still no need to hurry - I'd just temporarily forgotten and remembered it now!

No problems Kathryn - I did the others too, but didn't write the first one I had problems with down, and can't remember what it was!!!

You're welcome:) And I will say thank YOU as well, because when I searched for them, I found them on Booktopia's site....after I did it all, I purchased The Spy through Booko (free delivery) as they had "1st in the series" for only $7.95!! So perhaps I shouldn't thank you;)

Yes thats him Veronica, have you read them all? That is a series of thirteen books called Thirteen Thirteen (The Last Thirteen, #1) by James Phelan ..13 is the 1st of 13.


message 1083: by Veronica ⭐️ (new)

Veronica ⭐️ | 2384 comments I thought I had the last one but I actually have the first one #13. Must read it soon

Jülie ☼♄  (jlie) | 6581 comments Hi Brenda, when you have time could you possibly mark this book Nine letters long by J.C. Burke as the sequel to The Red Cardigan?

They are both about Evie.

Many thanks in advance..and no rush :)


Liam || Books 'n Beards (madbird) While I'm not Brenda I have done that for you Julie - I can't find anywhere what the series is actually named, but it is described as the sequel, so I just called it the Evie series.

Brenda | 79994 comments Mod
Thanks Liam:) Do you know how/do you do merging authors Liam? Because the two the girls are talking about above - https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... and https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... are one and the same; I was going to go to the Librarian group to get them merged, but if you can do it, would you mind? Thanks...


Liam || Books 'n Beards (madbird) I dunno how to merge them, I think that's something only super librarians can do.

For individual books though, for future reference, if you go into the Edit Details for one book from each of them you'll see that the real James Phelan is put in the Author field with two spaces between his names - "James--Phelan", whilst the second James Phelan just has the one space - "James-Phelan". That's how they get around having so many authors with the same name and such.

I'd say that since the non-official one came first, there are probably some books in there written by a James Phelan which isn't the Aussie. Best to give it to the mods to handle.

Brenda | 79994 comments Mod
Thanks Liam, yes I've done that before with the "many named the same" authors! I thought you may have been a super:) I'll head there and ask the question...


message 1089: by Jülie ☼♄  (new)

Jülie ☼♄  (jlie) | 6581 comments Thanks Liam and Brenda :)

Good job, I would have just called them the Evie series also, anyone thats read them will get it :)
