Apparently I was confused as well: I answered as if it was in the Goodreads sync plugin thread.

Fetching the "owned" info could be part of the metadata fetch, but there are problems. The biggest one is that the plugin doesn't login to your Goodreads account. It has no way to know if you own the book or not. The next problem is where to put it. The metadata source plugins cannot update custom columns. It would have to be added as a tag.

Adding it to Goodreads Sync is easier as that does use your Goodreads credentials. The problem with that is I don't know how it fits into the plugins function and I couldn't quickly see a good way to do it via the Goodread APIs.
