Hello,
I agree with Grace's comment. This was my thinking behind my making the
original comment in the first place. But personally, I think everyone has a
good point. Especially Jake's about the synopses not being searchable. Maybe
something like this should be implemented in the future?
Merry Xmas to all,
Natalie

Hi all:
It makes sense to me to put the name of series as part of the title such as
Nancy Drew, Bailey Kids, Star Trek etc. However, as a romance reader I don't
find it necessary to put Silhouette, Zebra or Harlequin as part of the title. I
agree that this information should be in the synopsis and not the title. These
are not traditional series like star Trek or Executioner. You don't have to
read them in order. If I am not mistaken these are publishing lines for
marketing purposes.
Just my opinion.
Grace

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
