Another wonderful edition of Buzz Books, this time filled with new titles that will be coming out this spring and summer. My favorites of each section would be the following.

# FICTION: The Marsh King's Daughter by Karen Dionne // The Answers by Catherine Lacey // Since We Fell by Dennis Lehane // Fierce Kingdom by Gin Phillips // The Women In The Castle by Jessica Shattuck // The Force by Don Winslow

# DEBUT FICTION: Salt Houses by Hala Alyan // Impossible Views Of The World by Lucy Ives // Goodbye, Vitamin by Rachel Khong // Final Girls by Riley Sager

# NON FICTION: Driving Miss Norma by Tim Bauerschmidt and Ramie Liddle // The Radium Girls by Kate Moore // Memory's Last Breath by Gerda Saunders.

Looks like we will be having a lot of great titles to look forward to in the next couple of months!

For those who are not familiar with Buzz Books, they include an excerpt of some of the promising upcoming books scheduled to be published in spring / Summer 2017. The categories include Fiction, Non-Fiction and Debut Fiction. I’ve already added some of these to my list, and some I had read before reading Buzz Books 2017: Spring / Summer.

The ones I’m most excited to read (and didn’t already have or read) include:

Memory’s Last Breath by Gerda Saunders – a true-life Still Alice “unsparing beautifully written

In the Shadow of Alabama by Judy Reene Singer – a woman returns home for her father’s funeral and finds herself drawn into his life history

The Original Ginny Moon: A Novel by Benjamin Ludwig – a 14-year-old teenage girl has just found her “forever home” but still wants, waits for her abusive, drug-addicted mother to kidnap her (sounds a little reminiscent of My Name is Leon)

Goodbye Vitamin: A Novel - Rachel Khong - a daughter returns home to care for her father who has Alzheimer’s, told with insight, humour and tenderness

Others I’m contemplating:

American War: A Novel – Omar El Akkad - a debut novel about a second American Civil War

The Marsh King’s Daughter by Karen Dionne – a fictional story about a prisoner who escapes, and the daughter he went to prison for keeping captive.

Driving Miss Norma: One Family’s Journey Saying “YES” to Living – Tim Bauerschmidt, Ramie Liddle

He Said, She Said - Erin Kelly

The Answers - Catherine Lacey

Touch - Courtney Maum

As always, the Buzz Book gives a great look ahead to what's coming up in Spring and Summer 2017. There is an extensive list at the beginning of the book of anticipated books with their expected publication date, arranged by fiction and non-fiction to help narrow down your search. If the entry has an asterisk next to it, you can find a sample of the book in Buzz Books 2017. Buzz Books highlights both established authors and debut. I was delighted to see a sample of Graeme Simsion's new novel, I'm really looking forward to that one after loving The Rosie Project.

This is such a handy reference to have in hand. It starts off with lists of upcoming books then gives excerpts of new books you may want to consider. The excerpts aren't too long; they don't give away anything but they're enough for you to decide if you like the author's writing style and if the plot or subject sounds interesting to you.
I'll continue to ask for these publications as they come out over the year.

This is a compendium of samples and not a book for review.

I can't stress the importance that this publication has on my blog. It is an invaluable resource as I plan future reviews and posts. Count this as another solid addition to the BuzzBooks collection!

Buzz Books is always a great way to preview books are that soon to hit the shelves and make a list of your possible "must-reads." I've got my list ready and will be watching for at least a dozen of titles set to be released this spring and summer.
