There's not really any way. Here's an optimisation, at least:
book_ids = books.values_list('id', flat=True)
for book_id in book_ids:
Action.objects.create(book=book_id, action=action)
This only gets the list of book IDs from the database, so avoids
evaluating the complete queryset, but it still does the query to get
the ID list.
