Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Hi. Ive been exploring BookWyrm recently and i find it quite frustrating that i would need to add every polish book i have (over 1000 of them) manually, not only to my profile but generally speaking to the BookWyrm library.
There's a big polish GoodReads-like website called LubimyCzytac, which has over 630k different books in their database, and while it doesnt provide any API, some open source softwares (Calibre, Calibre-web) can automatically fetch book metadata from LubimyCzytac (their frontend havent changed in a decade or so, so i guess it isnt a very high maintenance feature). It would be great to be able to fetch book metadata from LubimyCzytac when adding a book automatically.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to be able to import books from LubimyCzytac in a similar fashion as i can now add books from different sources.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Ive been thinking about exporting my Calibre library to CSV and then importing it too BookWyrm, but im not sure if that would work and TBH im quite afraid about adding thousand plus records that way into.
