Thank you for letting me know! I didn't even realize that I could do that (I'm very new to Goodreads). I appreciate it.

There are GR genre groups where you can offer a free copy to readers for review purposes. There are also services like NetGalley, HiddenGems and BookSprout who allow you to offer a book in interested readers for reviews (although you cannot require a review, I beleive that is also against Amazon TOS).
It's considered bad form for an author to 5-star their own book, especially when you use a secondary (non author) account to do it.

Hi,
You might want to try a group that exchanges reviews on Goodreads. Something like: https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/...
Good luck!

I noticed that you currently have posted only a Goodreads Member Profile. Consider replacing it with a Goodreads Author Profile. It would more clearly identify you as a published writer.
For whatever reason, the majority of avid readers never post a review or rating. Those who do are merely expressing their personal, and therefore, subjective opinion. Knowing this, most readers do not allow a rating or review - positive or negative - to impact their choice of books.
Contrary to what many novice authors believe, salse drive reviews, not the other way around.
Very few novice authors ever achieve commercial success or even notoriety within this extremely competitive field. That said; some have. There is no reason why you might not eventually become one of them. I wish you success.
