Since you only voted on lists where you seem to be familiar with the topic, I don't think that should be too difficult? - The key thing you don't want to engage in, though, is spam and sock puppetry. ** Hint: Your votes will stand out even less as "suspicious" (read: self-promotional spam) to Goodreads librarians if you find other books to vote for/add to the lists you're voting on as well. (AND get all defensive and worked-up about it if called on their misbehavior.) You don't seem to be doing that. and then get a bunch of friends or flat-out sock puppet accounts to vote those books to the top of those lists.
