Answer 1

I had the same problem and I found a solution. At least, it worked for me.

In my case the problem was in Django project's setting.py file - I added not the FQN (fully qualified name) of the my app to the INSTALLED_APPS tuple, but it's short name.

Talking about your example, it may be that you added to the INSTALLED_APPS the my_books element, but not the my_django_project.apps.my_books.
