unable to list my books by a particular author in the app

Using LT app on iPhone (iOS 26.0.1) & Firefox (147.0.2) on a MacBook Pro (Apple M4 chip, MacOS 15.7.2).

In the app, within Your Catalog, an author search shows I have 2 books with David McCullough as an author, but when I click his name I get the rotating circle of radii and then nothing at all. However, I can list the 2 books by Robert McCloskey or by Joanne S. Malkus.

On the web, on the Your Books page, when I do a Author/Title search for his name LT correctly pulls up Truman and The Pioneers.

Logged into your account on the iOS App:
1. I can search "mccullough" and find all 3 books in your catalog by David McCullough just fine, on most pages.*
2. When I initially searched for "Author:mccullough" on the general "Your Catalog" page, I was getting a delay in the 3 results loading—the rotating circle of radii—but they did eventually load. Subsequent searches for the same thing are now loading fine, without delay.
3. If I go to the "Add to Catalog" page and tap to view the most-recently added book (The Pioneers by McCullough), I can tap on the Author's name and get all 3 books in your catalog.
4. *The only consistent issue I'm seeing now is on the Authors page: for some reason the page for David McCullough (under "M" in the menu) shows a 3 next to it, indicating the 3 books you have cataloged, but the actual author page is empty:



I'm not sure why that is. I tried clearing your caches and reindexing your library, but it might need a day to refresh. I'll check back on this tomorrow.

I'm still seeing this issue, >2 kristilabrie: - I'd like to see if this is fixed with the major updates on the horizon.
