Would it be possible to add the ability to scrape awards information from Goodreads? An example Goodreads entry with awards is id# 19398490. These appear under 'Literary Awards' and is clearly visible in the page source code, so I'm hoping it would be a somewhat easy thing to pull. Even better if you could also pull the link information to each of the awards. The data could be stored at the end of the comments or a custom column (long text to support links). I'm fairly certain this information is book related and not ID related, meaning any version (ID) of the book would have the same entries.

If feeling over ambitious, could pull Characters and Setting too in case anyone wants them. The book above has examples of all three of these.

If feeling super ambitious, is it possible to pull the author information from a Goodreads book page and toss that information into a custom text column (or put it at the end of the comments field)?
