@lgladen - That is the first I had heard of that issue with the Goodreads metadata plugin on the fetch metadata dialog. None of the other users/testers had reported it (I never use that dialog so had not noticed it, I just use ctrl+D instead).
I have uploaded a new release of the Goodreads metadata plugin that should address that issue and a couple of others. Further details on the changes posted
here, download from the start of that thread or using the
plugin updater.
I won't attempt to significantly improve the fuzziness match issue until Kovid releases the new metadata download API that is coming soon.
Thanks for posting the issues - though to guarantee I see them please be sure to put them on the thread for the plugin next time.
