And I just randomly happened to drop by this thread today! Which is odd in itself because I don't use this plugin. I tried, but honestly, after falling off in adding books to GR some time ago, things got so out of sync between GR and my library that even with the plugin, I was too overwhelmed. Goodreads was the beast that broke my "organizational mind". After I gave up, I only added more books to GR if I was currently reading it, needed it for an upcoming group read, or some other "special occasion".
So, clean slate wishlist, eh? I honestly don't know. I'll have to reinstall the plugin and see if there's anything that will make it work for me. Wow, that sounded bad, but I don't mean to say there's anything wrong with the plugin - the problem is obviously me in this case. The plugin and I just didn't "click" the first time. Maybe we can make up and be friends. I'll get back to ya on that.
I hope it works out for us this time, because I'm sure no one will be surprised by the fact that having my Goodreads catalog complete will ease my mind a great deal, and having it sync'd with my Library would be heavenly. I just need to get things to the point where it's just maintenance, and I'm nowhere near that point. Wish me luck.
(Makes mental note to turn off Goodreads add-books feed updates so my GR friends don't kill me when 600+ books get added in one day.)
Edited to add: I'll be up late tonight. I'm missing a ton of ISBNs that I need for an accurate CSV import into GR. Then, since I have a Kindle (LN, FN) I need to flex my weakling regex muscles (fortunately that's one of the few operations I can manage

) and create a custom column so GR won't skip half of the books on the CSV. Now that I think about it, maybe it's GR's fault that I gave up on this. Despite my complaining, I'm glad Nyn kicked my butt into gear by mentioning my name. Sometimes peer pressure is a good thing.
