This was the first time I have downloaded the Buzz Books Monthly. Gosh there are so many titles that sound interesting but I have to be sensible and restrict the number of requests I make.

The two that caught my interest are The Marsh King's Daughter and The Force. I tried to request the Marsh King's Daughter from the UK publisher (rather than from the link on the sample) but I think it's unlikely I'll get it at this late date since there is a note saying that interest in the title has been unprecedented and approvals will be limited which is great news for the publisher and the author. I may just have to wait till publication day then buy it.

The second title that caught my interest doesn't seem to be available to request.

The publishing calendar is my monthly go-to - I always find a great release I overlooked.

These monthly updates are great and very helpful! In June, I am looking forward to having more time to read and already have a long list. I am especially looking forward to several new mysteries, including Margaret Maron's Take Out.

Several of these titles sounded interesting and I will be checking into them

I love getting to read excerpts prior to publication, and the June Buzz Books is a great example of why excerpts are so effective. Before I read the excerpt of Hunger by Roxane Gay, I was afraid I wouldn't like a book about weight and carrying heaviness. Now, having read the excerpt, I can hardly wait for the book's publication, so I can read it for myself and evaluate it for a nonfiction course I teach. Roxane Gay is such a powerful writer, and she's good enough to draw me in quickly and to make me avid about what she wants to share about being overweight. Body size, weight and hunger are topics we want to shun examining, but Roxane Gay has made me want to read and look carefully. Thanks so much for this excerpt!

Whilst I wasn't particularly interested in most of the adult novel samples, I was thrilled to see an extract of Dividing Eden, a book I have had my eye on for a while. I also read the chapter of Roar which I enjoyed and have added to my shelves on Goodreads.

Thank you very much for this sampler, it has exposed me to at least one great new book I wasn't previously aware of!

Preview of upcoming literature, including debuts. Can't wait to get my hands on The Marsh King's Daughter.

I pre-ordered Roar. It sounds exactly like something I would love. I'm thinking about reading Dividing Eden and The Marsh King's Daughter. We'll see how they fit into my TBR when it gets closer to release date.

I love the opportunity to read these each month. It is such a great way to learn what's coming in the fiction world. There are some excellent excerpts among these titles.

Every month, I look forward to the next Buzz Books. The excerpts either introduce me to books I somehow missed, or get my blood pumping for something I've got in my queue. Great as always!

As expected, another great selection of upcoming books! :)

I always like to check the Buzz Books Monthly and the Buzz Books YA Seasonal editions to get a sample of lots of books that I wouldn't ordinarily seek out excerpts of on my own. The June edition had a few good excerpts from authors I had heard of, such as Nora Roberts with "Come Sundown", whom I have never read before. I will likely give that particular book a full read, but enjoyed the other excerpt offerings as well.

Awesome as usual, I particularly liked the Roxanne Gay exerpt!

Truly the best guide for monthly book releases, excerpts and info!

I love the Buzz Books Monthly - it's a great way to beef up my already-too-long TBR list... June especially has some very interesting titles being released. Both Dividing Eden (YA) and Carnivalesque (general adult) have been on my radar, and I am excited to read both of these, as well as several of the other titles that will be released.
