These monthly Buzz Books really help me keep track of new books being released during the featured month. The excerpts are a great way to sample some new authors. I plan to feature several of these titles on my blog during the upcoming months.

I really look forward to getting this every month. I love that some of the publishers send these out so we can get information on new releases. It's one thing I miss about no longer working in a bookstore.

A collection of excerpts from upcoming April 2017 releases.

The seven excerpts were originally published in “Buzz Books 2017: Spring/Summer” or “Buzz Books 2017: Young Adult Spring/Summer.” This collection features two adult books and five young adult books. Each book section includes a book cover, a book summary, a lengthy excerpt, a short author bio, important publication details, as well as a Netgalley link when available. Buzz Books made it so easy to figure out what books to add to my list. The excerpts are long enough to give a good sense of writing style. I’m not adding any of the YA books to my list, but it's nice to be aware of them so I can recommend them to people who'd be interested. There is also a complete list of April releases. There are so many exciting new books coming out!

I’m excited about both adult releases, especially American War by Omar Al Akkad. I was already looking forward to this book’s release and now I’m even more anxious to read it. I love how the author seamlessly slipped into the minds of different characters! The Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America’s Shining Women by Kate Moore also sounds like a great read!

I recommend Buzz Books for anyone who wants to stay up-to-date on upcoming releases.
