Books Received, September 20 — September 26
Six works new to me: four fantasy, one mystery, one non-fiction (from an unexpected source)... unless you count the fantasy-mystery as mystery, in which case it's three fantasy and two mysteries. At least two are series. I don't know why publishers are so averse to labelling series. First four.

Four works new to me. three novels, one TTRPG supplement. Two appear to be fantasy, one SF, and one is a mystery (by an author famous for their fantasy). Two appear to be stand-alone and two are series.

Books Received, June 28 — July 4
Four works new to me. One is SF, two fantasy, and the magazine (which I have not yet looked inside) likely both. Two of the novels are series novels, one does not seem to me.

Books Received, May 3 — May 16
16 works new to me. 8 fantasies, 1 horror, one mainstream, one mystery, one non-fiction (about SF), and four science fiction... although it wasn't always clear into which category works fell. Only 11 works are clearly identified as series, 11 do not appear to be part of series, and there are 3 for which that question does not apply.

22 works new to me: 15 fantasy, 2 mystery, 1 mainstream, 4 science fiction. I think. In some cases, genre was not clear. Only four are labelled as series, which seems very low.
First four!

Books Received, March 22 — March 28
Eight works new to me. Four fantasy, four science fiction. I think three are series while five are stand-alone. That's a much higher ratio of stand-alone to series than I expect.
First four.

Books Received, March 8 — March 14
Just two this week. Both are table-top roleplaying supplements. One is fantasy, the other SF and while one is a product I've been eagerly anticipating since October, the other was a complete surprise.

In addition to an author being willing to send me an arc, I found a work-around for the Netgalley issue that works for Macmillan. Only Macmillan, thus far. The other publishers I reached out to didn't reply. 16 new books, of which 12 are fantasy, 2 are science fiction, and 2 horror. 6 are series and 10 are not.
First four!

Six books new to me, of which 2 are fantasy, one non-fiction, and three are science fiction. Of those, two are series, two stand-alone, a distinction that doesn't really apply to the non-fiction. Firs four!
