Ok, thanks. I'll give that a try.

Just noticed Goodreads Shelf: Science Fiction has your Dune first on the list. "My" Hitchhiker's Guide is second.

Karellen · 07-07-2026, 04:55 AM

I haven't done a lot of reading this year. RL has got in the way and had to step away from reading. The little reading I have done is a few re-reads. But I was thinking of reading the Dune extended universe again.

I've read so many great books and sagas over the last 5+ years that I do want to go back and read many of them again. A bit like rewatching a great movie multiple times. So I haven't wanted to find anything new to read.

I read Hitchikers, Dirk Gently and Starship Titanic middle of last year and still enjoyed them. That nasty book And Another Thing... is just atrocious.

Comfy.n, if I want to organize my Goodreads shelves the way I want to read, with "Currently Reading" and "Read" in the custom sources tab, I copy the address: https://www.goodreads.com/review/lis...?shelf=to-read
I get the error shown in image 1, but if I log in to the preview, it displays the data. I have the Goodreads cookie pasted into the plugin settings; what am I missing?

I'll take a look ASAP. Sometimes websites can block the first attempt to fetch data. In this case, clicking Refresh sources a couple of times might make it load.

Please test if that happens on the attached test version I'm working on to add more sources.

Do you need me to send you any records?

Comfy.n · 07-09-2026, 01:25 PM

Well, I can reproduce on fresh calibre. Currently when I try to add my own shelves I get a "Javascript is disabled" message. I'll see what can be done. Screencaps are fine, thx.

Plugin uses a workaround to fetch ratings, votes and blurbs, that relies on Goodreads autocomplete data. That sometimes returns derivative works, inevitably. One solution I see is to offer the enrichment data as an option, and provide only the rank position, title + author. Will see what can be done.

Comfy.n · 07-10-2026, 10:26 AM

Version 2.0

- complete refactor of enriched data fetching. For Goodreads Listopia, plugin now includes the edition type.

I'm surprised you can actually get data from Goodreads.

Yup, WAF is in place. Let's see how long this lasts...
