Should I have a quota for new books? That is, books released in 2016? That will skew what I review towards books from companies lavish with review copies (Tor, Orbit) and away from publishers who aren't free with review copies (S&S, for example).

My (entirely selfish) preference would be that you not do this; your reviews are useful to me for highlighting older stuff that I might be interested in, and I have other pipelines that already seem to work pretty well for discovering new things...
