Timestamp field was correct before downloading metadata from GR

I have no clue what the Timestamp field is or why you would be even looking at it in metadata.db. On Windows I've just done a metadata download on an empty book with that goodreads id and it all worked fine. Whatever your issues are this plugin specifically is not the cause of them.

I spun up a windows VM to test
I can reproduce it on a fresh calibre install, Installed no plugin but goodreads.
The Bug does not occur if you add an empty book but if you drag an epub into calibre (still has proper timestamp), then edit metadata individually, clear everything and under id enter 'goodreads:60929' and download metadata. This happens with 1 out of 10 books I add this way.
Removing the goodreads plugin and downloading metadata fixes the issue. It only occurs if goodreads plugin is installed.
