HELP: Move Reading Data from LibraryThing to Reading List

jesse_the_kI keep track of what I read. I used to use LibraryThing, where I have 617 items catalogued. Sadly their iOS app was glitchy, so I switched to a completely private Apple solution Reading List. I’ve logged around 200 books here.
LibraryThing offers Excel, TSV and JSON export and I have those files.
Reading List supports CSV import and export, and tracks fewer items than LibraryThing. My goal is to import relevant LibraryThing data into my Reading List app.
Can you do this for me? My brain can’t handle rearranging the different fields across two databases. I would be delighted to compensate you for your effort — options include cash money, custom jewelry, or donations to your cause-of-choice.
The Reading List app is free on macOS and iOS stores at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/reading-list-book-tracker/id1217139955. Its import/export instructions are in settings.
