How can anyone interested in BOOKS, especially for young adults, miss the huge issue for Spring/Summer?! Everything you ever wanted to know about books for this hot and growing group is in this issue. Read it now!

As usual a fantastic array of books to get excited about. Big and small, contemporary and fantasy - there's something for everyone here and your TBR will thrive on this release!

Another great buzz books. Looking forward to quite a few of these. Especially Flame in the Mist and Geekerella. I'm always impressed by the length of the excerpts, they don't give too much away, but leave the readers wanting a little more.
Thanks!

As always, I found this helpful in my selections duties as a teen librarian.

Loved getting this preview ----- thank you for sharing this with me!

Wonderful titles! I'm highly looking forward to reading most of the ones featured in here. There's a great variety of genres, so you might want to read this to find incredible new reads!

The ones that caught my attention the most were Future Threat by Elizabeth Briggs, Rebels Like Us by Liz Reinhardt, Flame In The Mist by Renee Ahdieh, and This Is Really Happening by Erin Chack.

My first time reading through a Buzz Book for YA and I will certainly do it again. YA is one of my favorite genres, and getting to read excerpts of what is coming out is awesome. My TBR just grew by seven YA books.

Thanks for letting me read this -- awesome recs as always!

The best way to find out which YA books we should be keeping an eye out for!

This was a neat look into some interesting titles coming out this year and I'm positive of a couple that I definitely want to order to have on hand after getting a look at this.

Thank you to Netgalley and Publishers Lunch for a free preview ARC of Bozz Books 2017: Yougn Adult Spring/Summer.

The books features here are gorgeous and theme spanning, from many both up and coming authors and authors who are here showcasing their new works. I'm most excited from the newest piece by Renee Ahsieh (Flame in the Mist), which hints at all the glorious feeling of her earlier writing.

I can't wait to try out the full texts of Geekerella (by Ashley Poston), This is Really Happening (by Erin Chack), Black Witch (Lauire Ann Forest) )and Definitions of Indefinable Things (by Books for Younger Readers). I hope to get a couple of these in my coming Netgalley ARC's! <3

Buzz Books is a great opportunity to get sneak peaks into some of the upcoming releases. I think it's a very balanced selection of different genres. And it's a great overview to see what's going to be published!

Through reading this book, I've found some books that I'm definitely going to read, even if I don't get approved by the publisher on netgalley.

I especially liked The One Memory of Flora Banks, Dream Me, Roar and The End of Our Story. I might also read Definitions of Indefinable Things, Gem & Dixie, Geekerella, Aftercare Instructions and Dividing Eden. Many of the excerpts made me want to continue reading immediately.

Recommended to anyone who's looking for new books to read.

Great as always. I now have a list of title I'm looking forward to

Oh my goodness! I have just discovered through a fellow reader the delight of these "buzz" books. I am so excited about the upcoming selection of YA books. Although not all of the books caught my interest, there are a few that I just cannot wait to read.

There are some fantastic reads coming up this year and my list to read is getting long.

I particularly like "This is Really Happening"by Erin Chack, I like a bit of humour especially when looking at real life.

Funny seems to be the theme with me because I also liked the synopsis on 'Laugh Out Loud' by James Patterson and Chris Grabenstein. I think it is good for teens to have fun with their reading so this will be a good choice for the teen collections in the library service I work for.

On a more serious note Gem & Dixie by Sara Zarr sounds like it is going to be a heartwrenching book but a really good read. I suspect I will need to have tissues at hand if I am going to read this one.

Overall there are some fantastic reads coming up for young adults.

As always, I love these samplers. I can understand why some people hate them -- you just get a feeling for the book and the characters and the sample is done and you need to wait for the release or buy the book. But I love being able to jump into a world and see if I'm going to like it before having to spend money on the book in question.

There's a wide variety of books in this batch and I pretty much liked all of them and would recommend them all to someone I know. There's something here for everyone. 5 out of 5 stars.

Buzz Books are one of my favorite ways to discover new authors, so I'm incredibly happy that this edition knocks it out of the ballpark with so many awesome reads! Here are some of the samples that really got my attention:

The One Memory of Flora Banks by Emily Barr reminded me a little of the movie 50 First Dates. Unlike the movie though, Flora's memory erases itself several times a day. Thankfully this didn't happen until she was ten years old so at least she has those long-term memories to help her get through the day. Then everything changes. She remembers something. A kiss. From her best friend's boyfriend. Uh-oh. Can't wait to read more and see what happens to Flora when she sets off to reconnect with the boy who gave her a new memory!

The next story to catch my eye was Roar by Cora Carmack, the first in a new series. We're introduced to Stormlings, powerful families that can control dangerous, magical storms. Aurora is slated to be the next queen, but has yet to show any trace of the magic needed to control violent storms. Faced with an arranged marriage to a Stormling prince, Aurora searches for an alternative to saving her kingdom while still keeping her secret. Is it possible to steal storm magic? Looking forward to finding out!

This Is Really Happening by Erin Chack isn't my usual type of read, but proved too intriguing to pass up! A collection of non-fiction essays, the sample included the author having her head shaved during chemotherapy. At nineteen. Touching, but also amusing. Made me want to get to know her better.

Laurie Forest's The Black Witch was the next sample to grab my attention. Elloren is the granddaughter of a powerful mage, Like the main character in Roar, Elloren has no power in a world that prizes magical ability. Following a bird one night, she runs into her neighbor's oldest daughter Sage, who disappeared over a year ago. Sage gives Elloren a powerful wand. Suddenly, everything Elloren believed in is called into question and she must make a choice. The sample really piqued my interest and left me wanting more!

Geekerella by Ashley Poston is the final sample that caught my eye. Main character Elle comes complete with the requisite wicked stepmother and stepsisters. A total geek, she is appalled when a teen heartthrob is chosen to play her favorite character in a remake of her favorite sci-fi series. Think of the outrage if the Star Trek reboot cast Justin Bieber as Captain Kirk! Whoa! Really looking forward to this one!


I highly recommend the Buzz Book samplers in order to discover great new reads!

I really enjoyed looking through this! It gave great excerpts and descriptions of books. I added a lot of them to my "anticipated releases" list.

This was an interesting selection of teases for new books coming in 2017

My TBR just got bigger thanks to Buzz Books. I cannot wait to read some of these books. I'm already looking forward for the Fall/Winter edition of Buzz Books.
