Hello Harmony, I'm a newly published Author, and I'm looking for reviewers. Can you suggest to me the best route to achieve reviews? I see that you have a blog, and that you're a well accomplished Author, writer, blogger, etc. Looking for suggestions. New in this arena of Goodreads. Happy Holidays

Hi Jacqueline,
First of all, congratulations on becoming a new author!
Secondly, thank you for your kind words.
Unfortunately, there is no magic bullet for reviews. You have to do a lot of research and connect up with readers and reviewers in your genre. I would say to always, always send a personalised email when making review requests. Never send out a form letter to ‘dear all’.
I would avoid paid review services. Your aim is to get genuine reviews and readers.
I hope this helps!
Wishing you all the best and happy holidays.
Harmony 😊
