Thank you for the plugin! I'm trying to find a way to import my Goodreads reviews into Calibre, unfortunately, as davidfor pointed out, due to the GR API limitations the GR sync plugin cannot import longer reviews, but he suggested I try with the import list plugin to get the job done (again, thank you for the tip!). I installed the plugin on Calibre 2.76 and exported my GR library on CSV.

Problem is, I'm doing something wrong because I still can't import my reviews.

1- I deleted all the books/rows without review and some useless columns on Google spreadsheets to avoid problems with the CSV excel characters encoding and saved a new CSV.

2- I clicked on "Import List", opened the CSV tab and added my edited CSV (see attachment). In Columns to import, I checked my custom-created review column, set the position and hit preview: everything looked perfect.

3- Next step, I manually matched 8 books, all the others were matched. Then I hit next and finish.

4- After I hit finish, I got a list of marked results in Calibre which matched the books I wanted to import the review of, but there is no review! The field/column is empty, both the automatically matched books and the manually matched show no text (see attachment).

What should I do? Thank you for your help.
