@emptywheel Because publishers send out review copies of everything.

@Dymaxion Right, but what these lists really mean are "here's the books that publishers have nudged us to review that we like." -
@emptywheel Well, of course. Or at least I guess these feels transparent, after you know enough writers? -
@Dymaxion Yes, but let's pretend you don't, as most book buyers don't. Shouldn't you be skeptical of year end lists in November? -
@emptywheel Well, almost everything that's going to come out is out by now, or will be within a week. -
@Dymaxion Imma write a REALLY good book and bring it out while everyone is eating Christmas dinner. -
@emptywheel a) Yay, you're finally writing a book. About Damn Time. b) Your publisher won't let you. ;-) - 5 more replies

@emptywheel review copies come out earlier than publishing date -
@wadingshorebird Yeah. But copies are reviewed by these outlets based on their ties w/publishers not based on reader approval.
