Problem activating goodreads sync plugin

Hi everyone,

I have read through the thread and I could not find a response for this (googling did not help either).

when I click on "Authorize Plugin with Goodreads" I get the following error message:
The Request contacting Goodreads has failed, please try again.

This is the content of the error (copy to clipboard button):
calibre, version 1.34.0
ERROR: Goodreads Failure: The request contacting Goodreads has failed. Please try again.

URL: http://www.goodreads.com/oauth/request_token
Response Code: 403
<html><body><h1>403 Forbidden</h1>
Request forbidden by administrative rules.
</body></html>

This is with the latest Goodreads sync plugin (installed from Calibre plugin manager) running on Windows 8 64bit.

Can you please advise on how to resolve this issue? I have never authorized or installed before, there are no activated apps on my Goodreads page.

Thank you and kind regards,
Bostjan
