It doesn't show Google books because it is fact not a reader app. Google books cannot open a book on the device, so CC cannot launch it like it can moon+, fbreader, or any of the other true reader apps. You must instead upload the book to Google's servers and open it from there. In effect, it is part of the Google cloud ecosystem, not the android ecosystem. I am not saying that there is anything wrong with this, only that one should not consider Google books as an app.
CC can initiate an upload to google books. In book details, tap the three dots (the menu) and choose "Upload to google books". From then on you must use google books to search, choose a book, and read.
