Alexandra Ayres (alexandraayres) | 11 comments There is an issue with the series that was created for me today (Windswept). There is a misspelling in the URL and where it is appears on my author profile:

https://www.goodreads.com/series/4212...

Can we please ensure this is updated to Windswept everywhere it is visible?

Also, can we add books 2 and 3 to the series?
Untitled (Windswept, #2)

Untitled (Windswept, #3)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

And as mentioned in your previous thread, you need to just wait for your profile to update.

Alexandra Ayres (alexandraayres) | 11 comments What is an appropriate amount of time to wait? I do see it has updated everywhere except for one place, where the series itself is actually listed on my profile, which is why I was concerned.

I do still need the two other books added to the series as well.

Emily | 17491 comments It can take a few days to update on Goodreads because everything is heavily cached. That is probably what Support would tell you. I know that I learned from some other post that the author profile pages are the most heavily cached and take the longest to update. I would ask support for more information if it doesn't update in the next day or two.
What will the books have in common? Is it the same characters and universe?

Yes, same characters and universe :)

Emily | 17491 comments I will add them but also unfortunately, the system doesn't find them in the search (you have to search to add them to the series) soon after being added to the database. This happens with all newly added books. I will check back.
