I've gone through the list I found online today. Aside from the Goodreads groups, most of the sites listed were pretty useless. A few I'd already investigated and rejected. There is a site that bloggers, apparently, can list their site and the genres they review. The first one I pulled up charges $75.00. Seriously? I can buy a ton of ads for that amount. Most of the others aren't currently accepting books. It was heartening to read that many of them are emphatic that they DON'T review romance. In the end I only found one possible blog, which required a synopsis that I had to quickly dash off. This was kind of a throwaway submission, but it didn't cost me anything.
A couple of the sites on the list didn't have an author signup link, so I had to email them. Not quite sure why that piece was missing. Seems like kind of a big oversight. The blog tour one is no doubt out of my price range, and I don't really care that much.
I did hear back from Voracious Readers Only and they will be soliciting readers in a couple of days.
The new Goodreads groups I utilized:
FREE BOOKS for Book lovers
Authors and Reviewers
Making Connections
Goodreads Advanced Copies for Review & Book Giveaways
Goodreads ARC Of Authors
I'd already posted on two or three other Goodreads groups, so time will tell. It's not my favorite exercise, because I detest begging, but at this point I've swept aside my self-respect.
And now I think I'm done.
