If I take the NH1 out of the title it has it listed as soon as I click to link up.
It is best to just enter the titles in your library without series info. If you want the series info in front then do as the PeterT suggests and use metadata plugboards to insert this data on the fly as the book is sent to the reader.

You can use the bulk edit metadata window to do a search and replace to remove the series info from each title one series at a time. Once you clean up your library of the series info in the titles and set up a metadata plugboard you will still have series info in front of your titles on the device and your Goodreads sync will work as expected.

Did you ever try to experiment with creating plugins? If you left a practice version of the "hello word" plugin in your your plugins directory it can do weird things. If you did you might want to find it and delete the file. I did something similar, the plugin was laying around for months before I noticed that it was affecting certain things. Deleting my bad experiment cleared everything up.
