When to add a book to lists

[Karen]

I've been pondering ways to raise awareness of a novel coming out in mid-October (available for pre-order), and wondered if I should add it to some lists. Is it too early, as potential readers can't yet "look inside" the book on Amazon or elsewhere? Or will it intrigue more people than it frustrates?

Thanks for any advice/opinions!

Don't. Lists are created by readers for other readers.

Authors are not allowed to add their own titles to lists as some are little better than spammers and add their titles to every list they can.

I suggest you make yourself familiar with Goodreads code of conduct and guidelines for authors about what you can/can't do.
