So many exciting titles to look forward to. It is always a joy to get the latest installment of Buzz Books to see whats coming out. I am particularly looking forward to the Jen Lancaster book and also some of the Sci-fi books were interesting despite it not being a genre I go for much. I guess that's the whole point of Buzz books.
Really great taster of the novels to come in the future
This is a good book that gives you some samples of books to come. After reading the samples, though, there was no books I wanted. I'm not saying it's a bad book, it's just not for me.
Great way to find out what books are on the horizon and plan your reading list accordingly.
Requested Buzz Books to see what new titles are emerging in the YA market. Although a book written in poetic verse is not something I would normally be drawn to, Kwame Alexander's Solo both intrigued and lured me in to the story of Blade Morrison, the 17 year old main character. The excerpt available introduced you to his addiction riddled father Rutherford, girlfriend, and worries for his Mom, in a way that made you skip through the pages without realising & Solo is a title I will certainly be looking out for.
In a totally different vein, Melissa Bashardoust's Girls Made Of Snow And Glass is described as a feminist retelling of The Snow White fairytale, but is by no means predictable. You are first introduced to Lynet, a young princess living in a castle, observing co.ings and goings and avoiding her music lessons like children are want to do, before Mina, a magician's daughter who goes on to be Lynet's stepmother enters the story. Her heart of glass was an unexpected twist to the description of her father Gregory's laboratory and made me seek to purchase the full book.
Unusually for me, The House at 758 by Kathryn Berla was something I just could not engage with. The early desceiption building up to Krista's attempts to deal with her father moving his new girlfriend in just weren't drawing me in.
Always a great guide to upcoming new releases! My only complain is that most books in this are kinda hyped, I wish there was more diversity.
A good way to get to know upcoming books and a nice selection of different authors and genres.
It can be difficult to find the right book for middle schoolers who are still young but are also advanced readers. This is a great way to check out the appropriateness of upcoming titles for this age group!
Always thankful to have these! Thanks, Netgalley for creating these lists!
As usual, buzz books has included some many amazing book excerpts. I have added quite a few to my tbr.
Young Adult is my favorite category to read from, and so many of these featured books seem so interesting. I'm glad to have added some of these to my to be read list!
I always love these samplers! It is a great way to see what is coming and to look out for!
Always appreciate these compilations to help me determine what is best for me to spend my time reading!! I believe my book review blog is better for it! Thanks so much
Buzz Books is one of my most useful tools as a librarian. I found books not yet on my radar I'll be sure to order. Thanks!
Not my type of book, I tried to start it but just couldn't get into anything about this book!
Buzz Books always helps me decide what ARCs to request, thanks!
I'm looking forward to so many of these books! Especially All Rights Reserved - I can't wait to read the full story!
This is a great collection of excerpts of upcoming YA books for Fall/Winter 2017.
It contains an introduction followed by a list of BuzzBooks authors that appeared at BookExpo (Kwame Alexander, Gregory Katsoulis, Marie Lu, and Marieke Nijkamp). After that section there are excepts by publishers. I particularly enjoyed the excerpt for WARCROSS by Marie Lu.
Overall, a great list of buzzing YA titles for Fall/Winter 2017.
Good books coming soon! Looking forward to fall and winter cozy reading!
Most of these books sound absolutely amazing and I can't wait until they come out so I can read them. This little booklet is so amazing because I can learn more about up coming books, and I get turned onto new books that I haven't learned about until now. Thank You!
