Hi,

This may be a temporary glitch, but in case not, I figured I'd let you know - since last night, attempting to add books to my shelves gives me the "The request contacting Goodreads has failed. Please try again." error, with the following details:

Code:

calibre, version 0.8.48
ERROR: Goodreads Failure: The request contacting Goodreads has failed. Please try again.

URL: http://www.goodreads.com/shelf/add_to_shelf.xml
Response Code: 404
<html><head><meta name="robots" content="noindex" /></head>
  <body>
    not found
  </body>
</html>

As I mentioned, I know Goodreads is in the middle of a big redesign and things have been acting oddly as of late, but as it's a slightly different error message than others have reported and appears to be ongoing, figured it couldn't hurt to let you know - even if there is nothing we can do about it from our (that is, not a GR developer's) end.

Thanks for a great plugin!

edit: Huh. Looks like that error just came up with one particular book - when I try and add others, it disappears. How odd. Leaving this here for posterity, I guess. Sorry.
