Organizational help

Hi guys, I'm participating in a reading club and I've created a library to add books as empty books so that based on the votes they receive they will be the monthly reading proposal.
So far, everything is fine with the custom columns that calculate the top according to the column of votes collected. The problem was complicated when loading the books. As I already mentioned, I load them as empty books, but loading 700 books one by one with the author and title information is laborious. I thought that if calibre can export through a catalog to a cvs file, is there any way to import it in some way?
I'm aware that there is a way to add by ISBN, which should be information provided by the person who proposes the book for reading.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Look at Import List plugin.
It does CSV as well as a whole bunch of other ways.

I didn't remember it, but I did see the CVS option somewhere.
Thanks
