Facts are not copyrightable and scraping has been determined to be legal. IANAL, but I'm not sure law would protect them from the factual metadata about books being repurposed.

Not being illegal wouldn't protect you from a crushing lawsuit though. Especially since the details likely vary (linked in data was publicly accessible, not sure if Goodreads requires a login).
