These are an excellent reference for upcoming books. It’s valuable to be able to sample a book before buying it and I find myself buying a lot more books because of it.

Thanks so much to the publisher and to NetGalley for giving me access to this book. I love these quick snippets of novels coming out in 2016. I like getting an idea of what new fiction is coming out. Thanks again for this selection of novels. I have found a few that will be appealing to our patrons

American War: Probably not something I would pick up on my own, but glad to read an excerpt.

The Radium Girls: The was super interesting and I went on the read the entire novel. This was an issue I was never aware of before and a tragedy I'm glad I know about now. Very well written.

This is Really Happening: It's real. I didn't quite see the comedy side that it mentioned in the intro but maybe the rest of the book has that.

The Legend of Skyco Spirit Quest: I feel we need more books on this subject so was glad to see this in here and want to look into picking this one up.

The End of Our Story: Ok, I know you aren't supposed to judge a book by it's cover - but the cover of this one to start off with was gorgeous. A story of love tainted by grief.

Definitions of Indefinable Things: I wish there was more to the excerpt, all I know is that there's two people picking up prescriptions for depression.

I have just realised that I have a number of Buzz publications that I haven't reviewed. They are holding back my Feedback Ratio, so I thought I should 'review' them.
I used to enjoy these regular updates on new authors and publications but I guess times have moved on and we now have the e mail version.
Miss you Buzz Monthly, RIP.

Being able to preview new books helps me make informed suggestions and recommendations to library customers.

I downloaded this to get a taste of what was upcoming for April releases in 2017. These excerpts were helpful to know which of the new releases I wanted to read.

I always look forward to and enjoy reading the Buzz Books Monthly about upcoming releases! I usually find myself adding many of the featured books to my "to read" list on GoodReads. This jam packed edition did NOT disappoint! What It Means When A Man Falls From the Sky, Beartown, and Option B are just a few of the titles I'm looking forward to reading.

I cannot praise Publishers Lunch enough for compiling this excellent free resource. I look out for it each month and seasonally too as I know I will discover something I want to place in my TBR pile for sure. I always get excited when they are released at the beginning of each month as I can't wait to find out what excerpts are in there and what I am going to love! For as long as it's created I will be downloading it - you have a loyal fan here!

Always a great read. Looking forward to reading more than just a preview for some of these.

I should not have requested this BUZZ BOOKS. There were only one or two excerpts that I was remotely interested in.

This is a great collection of excerpts of upcoming books for the month of April 2017.

It contains an introduction followed by a section with a list of anticipated debut fiction, commercial fiction, and nonfiction titles. Then it has a section of "Week by Week" title releases and at the end some book excerpts that were originally published in Buzz Books 2017: Spring/Summer and Buzz Books 2017: Young Adult Spring/Summer. I particularly enjoyed the excerpt for RADIUM GIRLS by Kate Moore. I also liked the EXTRA ATTENTION section which featured several authors including Doree Shafrir and her debut novel STARTUP.

Overall, a great list of buzzing titles for the month of April 2017.

I love the Buzz Books and it's fabulous to be able to enjoy them now every month.
They always offer excellent suggestions of future releases for my bookclub and give a good idea for what to read next.
