These are so detrimental to what we do as librarians. Thanks again!

I always love finding out what books are coming down the pipeline. I hadn't heard of any of the books featured in this edition. I am looking forward to reading The Immortalists, We're Going to Need More Wine and Little Fires Everywhere.

Many thanks for the ARC provided by Publisher's Lunch

As usual, it's always a great gift to be able to read up and coming novels before their release.

Just didn't see as much to be excited about for this fall, at least from these selections, this time around.

Buzz Books 2017: Fall/Winter

35138828

Without Buzz Books, I wouldn’t know of all these glorious titles heading our way! Get your lists fired up friends!

What a list of forthcoming books. How I didn’t know Amy Tan has a memoir out on October 17, 2017 is beyond me. I am highly anticipating it!

34043618.jpg

Janet Fitch, author of White Oleander has a new novel coming out, and I say Finally! I have been waiting and am excited. The Revolution of Marina M.

34523120

For fans of Isabel Allende, a moving love story will be out October 31, 2017 In The Midst Of Winter

34623118

It’s an exciting fall/winter with the best authors! Louise Erdich’s novel Future Home of the Living God will be out November 14, 2017

34217599.jpg

The Ninth Hour by Alice McDermott is forthcoming September 19, 2017

33931059.jpg

Of course Alice Hoffman’s prequel to her beloved Practical Magic is out October and I have already read the arc, giving it full stars. I felt down coming towards the ending, I didn’t want to leave The Owens’ family, I had so missed the magic! A picture of the cover can’t do it justice, it is one of the prettiest I’ve seen in years. Much cover love. I will post my review closer to the release date per the publisher’s request.

Chloe Benjamin, the author of The Anatomy of Dreams has The Immortalists out January 9, 2018- I have been waiting somewhat impatiently for approval for this arc. The few people who’ve read it raved about the forthcoming story of siblings that are privy, early on, to the date of their deaths. Intriguing.

Jennifer Egan’s Manhatten Beach takes the reader to Brooklyn during the Great Depression. I am currently reviewing an arc and it’s moving, beautifully atmospheric and I know it will be enjoyed by many. It is certainly haunting and another novel I won’t be posting for awhile. I feel like a hoarder when I am able to get my book wormy hands on such wonderful fiction before others, because damn if I don’t love to gush about the good books and share the love.

34467031.jpg

I adored The Education of Dixie Dupree by Donna Everhart, and I am so excited that she has written a new novel that sounds just as beautiful. The Road to Bittersweet will be out December 26, 2017. This is another arc on my highly anticipating list. With sweet covers and lovely titles it always seems as though the reading would be light, but not a chance. Don’t be fooled into thinking pretty covers mean breezy reads.

34853146.jpg

My curiosity is piqued about The Lost Girls of Camp Forevermore by Kim Fu. Young girls at a sleep-away camp stranded without adults, help, guidance and what happens in the years that follow?

33413874.jpg

Pulitzer Prize winning author Jeffrey Eugenides, yes I am a fan, will have his first collection of short fiction coming out October 3, 2017. Those few people who already read it- I’m so jealous! Though this book is towards the end of my list, he needs no promoting from me, so I think I’m forgiven.

33844793.jpg

One that is sure to cause some discomfort, and yet I know so many of my fellow readers have already added to their list is All We Shall Know by Donal Ryan. ‘Martin Toppy is the son of a famous Traveller and the father of my unborn child. He’s seventeen, I’m thirty-three. I was his teacher. I’d have killed myself by now if I was brave enough. I don’t think it would hurt the baby. His little heart would stop with mine. He wouldn’t feel himself leaving one world of darkness for another, his spirit untangling itself from me.’ That shared from Goodreads, oh my!

Is it just me or are covers getting so much more beautiful. Ode to physical books, because regardless of the ebooks I get, I somehow always hunt down physical copies. I can’t resist. I may die buried in a pile of dusty books one day, but I will have a smile on my face.

It’s going to be a great year in reading. I love the sneaky peaks Buzz Books gives us!

I love these Buzz Books - I always end up adding at least several books to my ever-growing TBR list! There are quite a few book coming out within the next few months that I am especially excited about, and quite a few of them are available to request on NetGalley (this ebook also makes it incredibly easy to request these books if they are available).

Some books I am especially looking forward to:
- Salman Rushdie's The Golden House (no excerpt)
- David Lagercrantz's The Girl Who Takes An Eye For An Eye (no excerpt)
- Gabrielle Zevin's Young Jane Young (no excerpt)
- Chloe Benjamin's The Immortalists (excerpt included!)
- Celeste Ng's Little Fires Everywhere (excerpt included!)
- K Arsenault Rivera's The Tiger's Daughter (excerpt included!)
- Amy Tan's Where the Past Begins: A Writer's Memoir (excerpt included!)

Thank you for putting this compilation together and for getting me excited about all of these upcoming books!

2017 looks like there are going to be a lot of great books coming out which is fantastic!

A really exciting collection - it's done nothing good for my ever-increasing "To read" stack, but I am really looking forward to ploughing my way through some of these! The overall quality of this selection was incredibly enticing.

I love when this come out every month, I find so many great books to put on my want to read list.

I love books. I love book reviews. I browsed (devoured) this book about books and made a list (another book list of many!) of which books caught my eye. It was great that it was broken up into sections, so I could fast-forward through the categories that didn't appeal to me. Thank you for a wonderful resource and I look forward to happy hours reading!

I look forward to reading the Buzz Books each season for a preview of what's to come. It sure helps me to narrow down my "must-reads" for the next few months!

Such an exciting collection of soon-to-be published titles. A little bit for everybody and definitely some titles I'm very excited about now!

Thanks for this sampler, I always enjoy checking out the newest "hot" books for the upcoming season. Thanks for the opportunity :)

Keeps you up to date with forecoming books.
Gives you an insight into different variety of books for autumn and winter offering a variety of titles from different catogories of books.
Each book has an extract so youget the gist of what you will read throughtout the book offers a wide selection of books from adult general fiction to home cooking.

Great compilation of books that build interest and excitement in readers about what's coming up. It definitely reaches its goal of creating "buzz". I like that it's divided into the 3 categories and has excerpts of each book. I read excerpts that I wouldn't otherwise have an interest in.

My favorites are Sourdough and Little Fires Everywhere. I'm definitely putting these on my wish list.

I love these Buzz Books previews! I discovered two books that I want to read, and realized that one book I had thought might be good was not one I wanted. Also, it gives me a chance to sample author's that I might never have read. Thanks Publishers Lunch, and Netgalley!

This is a great look at upcoming titles -- I love that includes excerpts and links to galleys on NetGalley so as to give reviewers easy access if something piques their interested. Thanks for offering this!

Another great collection of forthcoming books to look forward to!!! As wonderful as ever to be gifted a glimpse into and knowledge of what sound like some tasty reads!!!

I am really excited by this new Buzz Book. It is such a great way to find out some of the great new books being released. I plan to add a few of these to my TBR and feature others on my blog.
