Hello to everyone on this list,

First of all, happy holidays, merry Christmas, mele kalikimaka, and so on and 
so forth.

I don't normally post to the list, but right at the moment I have something I 
just wanted to comment on, and I really, really, really, think I'll burst if I 
don't say it publicly.

Backgroun info: All of the books I donate to Bookshare are all romances. 
Harlequin, Silhouette and Zebra mainly.

Okay, so here goes--- why do validaters find it necessary to put what series 
the book came from in the title? Just in case I'm confusing some of you, if I 
submit a book that's a Silhouette Special Edition, they themselves go and add 
in the title field, such and such book name, open parenthesis, Silhouette 
Special Edition, number 000, close parenthesis.

Please note that I'm not trying to offend anyone by mentioning this. But for 
some reason this really bugs me and I'd really like to understand it.
Personally, I find it distracting when I'm searching through the list of books 
and have to read that along with everything else. Of course, this is just my 
personal opinion. So I would like to know some other opinions. Is this info 
vitally important that they have to put it in the title field, rather than 
perhaps tack it on at the end of the long synopsis?

Again, no offense to anyone who does this with romances or other books. I'm 
just trying to figure this out.

Aloha,
Natalie
