This is a sampler that includes excerpts from some of the best novels published in 2016.

The excerpts included are for the following titles: The Mothers by Brit Bennett (Riverhead), The Girls by by Emma Cline (Random House), Dark Matter by Blake Crouch (Crown), Sweetbitter by by Stephanie Danler (Knopf), Homegoing by by Yaa Gyasi (Knopf), and A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles (Viking).

I read Dark Matter and LOVED it. I recommend this sampler if you want to have an idea of what the book will be like and the author's style.

I am all for samplers because you get to read about books you might not normally hear of and a chance to read a little bit before buying, so man hidden little gems just waiting to be discovered and bought.

Another great selection of books to sample, have read Dark Matter, which I thought was brilliant. Many thanks for putting together this choice of what sound like amazing books!!!

Celebrated Stories of 2016 Excerpt Sampler stories sound interesting, but unfortunately unable to read them. It gives me Spring 2017 Debut Fiction Sampler instead, which I have already read and reviewed.

Hi, this is the wrong sampler. When I download this, it is the Spring 2017 Debut Sampler. Can you please fix it? Thank you!

I love the idea of these samplers. You get a small dose of the story and a feel for the writing. You get to see if you are going to enjoy the book and who could ask for more than that? I requested one and wrote the rest of them down. I keep a notebook with a list of books that I want to read at a later date!!

I'll be selecting a few of these for our collection. Great help for us librarians!

I enjoyed several of these titles. This is an excellent collection of books worth checking out.

Thank you so much for this sampler I have enjoyed some of these titles and I can now add 2 more of these to my reading list.

These samplers are a wonderful thing. I love getting them every month. I find so many new interesting books in them.
