v 2.5.6

FINALLY! Goodreads and Reading List library imports are now 100% functional, after discovering a tiny bug that happened to disable this feature on real devices while feigning perfection on the simulator *facepalm*. My apologies to those who haven't yet been able to import their libraries, but with this update, import away!

As always, I read all reviews and feedback so please let me know how your experience is so I can continue making the app better for everyone!
