Here's the "what did you receive?" topic.
Kate is sick, so I'm stepping in to run the various picking processes. If I don't finish them tonight, they'll be done tomorrow.

>2 Rodmancat: If you click on the list of available books in the Early Reviewers Group, in the upper left there is a place to click "Books You've Won" (and also "Books Requested") That should show any books you won this month. It's also the place you can mark books as received or unreceived.

I received Zora and Me: The Summoner and I'm currently reading it, but there's a mess-up in the Early Reviewers listing. Zora and Me: The Summoner is scheduled for publication this October, and that's the book I (very correctly) got. It's the third book in a trilogy:
Tim, there seems to be some kind of confusion among the titles in this trilogy. I don't have any idea of how to correct it myself; and even if I knew how, I'd be very reluctant to mess around with something that could affect every other Early Reviewer's review linkings. Can you get this corrected?
I'm going to PM you, Tim, to bring this post to your attention; but I'm posting it here to alert anyone else who's gotten this book so they're aware of possible problems with posting their reviews.

>20 CurrerBell:
I suspect this is an unintended consequence of the LT practice of ignoring everything after a colon in work titles. It's almost as though "Zora and Me" were a Series Title, but that's complicated by the fact it appears to also serve as the title of the first book in the series.
I am not familiar enough with best practices to attempt fixing it, and agree with your decision to alert LT staff.
