Thanks a lot, Michel, I am quite new to GoodReads, any suggestions for me on how can I get started?

Well, if you are a member of other groups in Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ apart from the Time Travel group, like the Sci-fi and Fantasy group or the Writer's Worth group, you could promote your new book in those groups, using their sections devoted to authors and book promotions. That way, you would spread further the word about your book. If you are not a member of those groups yet, it could be a good idea to join them: the discussions on those groups are quite interesting. Don't forget to click on the notification links of your book advertising threads, so that you could see who is commenting on your book or asking about it.

As for reaching success and gaining readers, especially if you are self-published, I can only counsel patience. The best promotional tool seems still to be the word of mouth around readers who saw and liked your book. However, that takes time. Don't get discouraged if progress is slow at first.

Very wise words there Michel, patience is the key. I'll keep grinding on. Thanks a lot.
