Multiple Children's Ebooks to be added.

[Joy]

Hi there, I have about 30 children's ebooks that I would like to add to GoodReads but I didn't know what the best way to do this was. I don't have ISBN numbers for these books but I do have Amazon ASIN numbers. Can you please advise how I may go about getting them added to the GoodReads shelves please?
My guess is that I have to list each book:
* Title
* Author Name
* ASIN
* Publisher
* Publication date
* Format
* Description
* Link to my personal website for the cover.

So you would need this 30 times over? I do not have ISBN numbers for these books yet. Thanks. Joy

ASINs are Amazon's equivalent of ISBN. If you have the ASIN, you don't need to both looking for a corresponding ISBN unless you really want to. For the Goodreads system, we attach ASINs to Kindle editions alone and ISBNs to non-Kindle ebooks and physical books.

If you don't want to try to add the books to the database yourself (non-librarians can add books, just not edit them), you can start listing them here in the format you referenced above, and I or someone else will get to them. :)

Hi there Amara, thank you for your quick reply. How do I add the books to the database myself please? I saw a manual upload but it was asking for ISBN numbers. Can I use this but add ASIN numers instead? Thanks, Joy

On the manual upload page, beside where there are the two ISBN input fields, there is a link that reads "click for ASIN". Click that, and you'll be able to input ASINs instead. :)

Thank you very much!
