Solution:

For bulk insert, you need to use EntityFramework.BulkInsert extension for EntityFramework.

Example:

context.BulkInsert(booksList);
context.SaveChanges();

You can also use EntityFramework.Utilities that provides batch operations for inserting, updating, and deleting many entities.

EFBatchOperation.For(context, context.Books).InsertAll(booksList);
