This is a great tool for narrowing down options and evaluating upcoming titles in an overwhelming amount of new titles. I like that debuts are divided into their own category. Book covers, summaries, excerpts, and some ARC request links make it easy to make choices.

Essential reading for anyone interested in upcoming books! Definitely helped me choose some titles to look forward to reading.

Interesting selection of books. I have several in my to be read list.

Buzz Books has a longstanding reputation of previewing the most anticipated titles of the season. With only the first couple chapters to go on, it’s impossible to give a whole-hearted recommendation, but the following titles have peaked my interest.

The first two titles win “Best in Show” because I’ve received the ARCs and was able to read them in their entirety. Both are brilliantly written and intelligent. Built on a quirky, but just about believable premise, with a smart observant narrator, THE ANSWERS is insightful, funny, and poetic. A historical fiction book ending WWII Germany, THE WOMEN IN THE CASTLE tracks he relationship of three German women as they attempt to survive the fallout of the war with searing humanity and sweeping prose.

As for the “Promising” and “Might be Worth the Risk” Categories, all of the excerpts left me wanting more. I definitely want to continue to the next chapters. Book gods, please send them my way!

And taking the award for best Non-Fiction in the group, the “Stranger than Fiction” Award goes to RADIUM GIRLS, a book about real WWI women who dip, lip, and paint with the toxic iridescent substance, which at the time was sold in everything from liquid tonics to beauty creams.

Buzz Books Seasonal Preview provides a fun appetizer-portion of titles you may decide to add to your ever-growing bookshelf!

Best in Show:
THE ANSWER Catherine Lacey
THE WOMEN IN THE CASTLE Jessica Shattuck

Promising:
SINCE WE FELL Dennis Lehane
TOUCH Courtney Maum
THE BEST OF ADAM SHARP Graeme Simsion
TEN DEAD COMEDIANS Fred Van Lente

Runners up that May be Worth the Risk:

THE ORIGINAL GINNY MOON Benjamin Ludwig

Stranger than Fiction:
RADIUM GIRLS Kate Moore

*I received a this title from NetGalley for an unbiased review.

First time I've read one of the Buzz Books and it won't be the last. I found it really is useful.. I thought it was highly insightful and I'm really excited about some of the upcoming books mentioned. The only bad thing is that my tbr list has just increased massively lol. Not that I'm complaining.

A useful resource for publishing professionals - helping to highlight key titles

Thank you for the suggestions and the excerpts. I am looking forward to reading some of your titles showcased.

Fantastic! I'll be checking out the BookBuzz selections regularly from now on. I found several titles in the selections here that I intend to recommend for order at my library, and a few which I've put on my own "to read" list. I love being able to read the first chapter and get a better sense of whether a book will be up my alley or not. What a great resource!

Love Buzz Books, great introduction to upcoming titles.

I was pleased to see this title in my feed this morning. Found two FICTION and two DEBUT FICTION titles that I plan to read. Great resource! Thank you.

This is an essential for upcoming books. My list of books i want to read has just got a little longer.

I love reading about upcoming books! It feels like when you go to the movies and get to watch the trailers before the feature presentation!

Good overview of what will be coming out in the literary world. The samples are varied and interesting. Bonus points for the links to the full galleys!

PLEASE KEEP PRODUCING THESE! THEY ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO USEFUL!

Woo hoo! This is one of my favorite books. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys reading and want to know what is coming out! Love this book!

My "TBR" list just got larger!!! I am looking forward to reading these books.
I am already feeling divested in quite a few

Now that I have discovered all that Buzz Books has to offer, I will be keeping an eye out for the new ones. There were entirely too many intriguing titles in this edition that I might not have been aware of otherwise.

As always, love the free previews all bundled together.

Reading Buzz Books is like looking forward to Christmas for me! Except the gifts are in the form of books, making it even better! This is the 2017 Spring/Summer edition.

If you've never read one, there are excerpts of up and coming books. This one in particular is fiction, debut fiction, and non fiction. You have the synopsis of book, a chapter except, and a link to request the ARC from NetGalley.

I definitely recommend Buzz Books when you are looking for something new to read. As always, there are some books that sound interesting that I've requested and look forward to reading this spring and summer!

* I received an ARC from the publisher and NetGalley. This is a voluntary review.

This was an absolutely addicting compilation of books from fiction, debut fiction, and non-fiction that are going to whet our literary taste buds this year. Buzz books are the essential guides for any devoted reader or reviewer..
