Trouble importing books from Goodreads

Hey guys,

I was just recommended this website by a fellow MLIS student and love everything about it. It is a catalog nerd's dream. The problem I'm having though is that I'm having issues importing my books from Goodreads. I have around 500 read and a few hundred "to read", and just don't have the time to input everything by hand. I've tried to import the .csv file generated by Goodreads twice and each time it's only imported one book at random (my library now has a grand whopping total of 2). Do you know what might be going on here? Just thought I'd crowdsource it here first before emailing staff :')

Thanks in advance!

I'm new here too, and my GR library imported smoothly. Not sure if I tried the .csv method first but I had opened my exported file in Excel just to look at it, and maybe I imported the .xls file into LT. Don't remember really, but it's worth a try.
