I added a book to my collection by Julie Murphy.
https://www.librarything.com/author/murphyjulie
I already had a book by her but noticed they were listed as two authors. I went to the author page on both listings and even though the author page for the book in question, Faith: Taking Flight leads me to it,
https://www.librarything.com/work/book/196708279
but that work is not listed, so I cannot assign it to her to combine the authors in my library. Am I missing something or anyone have any ideas? I am relatively new to the site, so I could just not know.

"Faith: Taking flight" by Julie Murphy is currently combined with "Running loose" by Chris Crutcher and with "Stanley, flat again" by Jeff Brown - https://www.librarything.com/work/12165/editions/196708279
I don't know any of these works. But it looks more like a total mess in combining than like a bug.

It was combined into another work. Now separated. If you know which Julie Murphy wrote it you can edit the division to put the book where it belongs. https://www.librarything.com/work/26126307
Not a bug.
In future, your information shows at the top of the work page, but the work information shows at the bottom of the information box. If they don't match, you can separate or ask Combiners for help.

>1 smilymoods: I recalculated the Title/Author for both books, and both books now show on the Julie Murphy disambiguation page - https://www.librarything.com/author/murphyjulie - so you can now assign Faith: Taking Flight to the correct author through the "Edit the division" page - https://www.librarything.com/author_split.php?author=murphyjulie&page=assign
Sometimes it takes a while for books to get into the index properly. This isn't realy a bug, more a work combination/author disambiguation/indexing issue.

Faith: Taking Flight goes to Julie Murphy (2). I've already moved the work.

Thank you so much for showing me where I might have gone wrong! I couldn't see where it was indexed as all which is why I thought it might be a bug. But now I know better! Thank you!!
