I don't recommend it. Goodreads is a place where people unhappy with their lives or otherwise needing help/approval/their ego stroked publish snarky, hurtful reviews. It doesn't really work as a marketing channel and it doesn't work as a way to interact with your readers, either.
You're unlikely to learn anything useful from most book reviews. If you want to improve your writing, it's better to work with a good editor and then hire a few professional beta readers who will give you a thorough, constructive critique. You may also get some feedback on r/writing (never done it but it looks way more useful than Goodreads since you're getting feedback from other writers who just want to help).
