There's no need to create a Books entity if it contains only a list of Book entities, you could just add manually the list methods to generated REST controllerBookResource.java as you don't need any additional repository.

But if Books has other fields that you want to persist in database, you could generate 2 entities with one-to-many relationship. I wouldn't recommend using plural as it could probably conflict with other generated code.

entity Book{
   title String required
}

entity BookBatch{
    name String required
}

// RELATIONSHIPS:
relationship ManyToOne {
    Book to BookBatch
}
