I've signed up for another goodreads reading round (https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/19566688-group-202---out-of-this-world---now-forming), and currently there are three, maybe four slots out of the ten filled.
My favorite way to get reviews is actually Hidden Gems--whose prices are going up, unfortunately--but the waiting list is usually at least six months. In the meantime, Reading Rounds are a way to get at least a trickle of reviews. You read and review four books, and four other authors review yours. A moderator makes sure no reciprocal reviews happen. And for those on a budget, goodreads is free. Also, Amazon is aware of Reading Rounds, and they don't violate terms of service. You can do multiple rounds--I usually end up doing three rounds per book so far.
And the more people join, the sooner we can get this round started. Other rounds are available for general, 18+, YA, and novellas, although often not all at the same time.
