Its a good collection of samples, all from books that I am dying to read this year. They are long enough to whet my appetite but since some of these books, like Wacross, don't release until the end of the year, hurts to read because I have to wait so long.

So many of these books are on my TBR! I cannot wait to get my hands on them.

Obviously I can't reccome d this one because they're short teasers of books that are coming in September, but 3 of them made my "to-read" list, and one made me physically angry when it ended after sucking me in, So, publishers, mission accomplished! I'm excited to get a hold of these and read them in their entirety!

I love these samplers. It's exciting to get a taste of upcoming books. The hardest part is being cut off at the end of the sample and having to wait until the book releases to finish the story. These definitely help me decide what to pre-order, what to keep on my radar and what I'm probably not that interested in. Out of this sampler I already pre-ordered Jane, Unlimited and There's Someone Inside Your House. The others were interesting but not a definite auto buy for me. I'll still be keeping an eye out for them and early reviews.

I just spent the afternoon devouring the excerpts in the Penguin Teen Game-Changers sampler. It contains five samples of highly anticipated book that will be released this fall, including WarCross by Marie Lu (science fiction), Jane, Unlimited by Kristen Cashore (fantasy), There's Someone Inside Your House by Stephanie Perkins (horror), Things I'm Seeing Without You by Peter Bognanni (contemporary), and Forest of a Thousand Lanterns by Julie C. Dao (fairy tale).

Prior to these excerpts, I had heard of all of the books except for Things I'm Seeing Without You. I was so thrilled to get to read these excerpts. I put everything in my life on hold for a few hours. And truthfully, I need to read them all. ALL OF THEM.

I don't want to wish away summer, but can we all take a deep breath and brace ourselves for the amazing fall book season ahead? Amazing!

This was one of the years that I wished I was at Book Expo because I would have been staking these titles out. They sound like a great way to get readers to read them and I like the idea of one book a month. Some of my favorite authors are included that i can't wait for them to be released.

Game Changers works like a perfectly balanced team of athletes - It's a collection of unparalleled talent that will awe and inspire "spectators" in all "arenas" of YA Lit. The two standouts on this "team, however, were WARCROSS and THINGS I"M SEEING WITHOUT YOU. Lu, already a "legend," displays heightened talent as she wraps us in Em's world--a not-too-distant future wrought with economic dysfunction---and delivers intrigue on demand within only the first two chapters. Bognanni's excerpt will catch you off guard. Give "Things I'm Seeing" two chapter's worth of your time. You'll discover an undeniable human connection with Tess, who pulls us into her story with honesty, wins us over with her humor, and puts an original story into words with courage. Thank you,, Penguin Teen, Game Changers is the Geek Equivalent of an ideal Fantasy Football Team. ARC via Netgalley ~ Lisa Brennan, Middle School Librarian ~ @noveltalk

Loved 3 of the 5 samples. Check my review to see which ones I can't wait for!

I really loved all of these previews. I am especially excited for Warcross and Jane Unlimited. I think these concepts sound so cool and I can't wait to read the full story come this fall!

These were on my most anticipated books of 2017 list and I adored what I read. I'm really intrigued and need to know how the stories progress. Can't wait for the books to come out!

Many thanks for highlighting this superb collection of books. They are a wonderfully diverse selection that caught my interest. Very much appreciate this.

Very, VERY excited for literally all of these. The only one I wasn't already dying to read is Things I'm Seeing Without You, but now I know to look out for it.

WARCROSS - This looks absolutely amazing. I'm a huge fan of Marie Lu's work and I feel like she gets better with each series she writes. Cannot wait to read the full version.

JANE UNLIMITED - I picked up the arc of this from Bookcon and it really seems like Kristin Cashore's experiment in something new worked out really well.

THERE'S SOMEONE INSIDE YOUR HOUSE - I will read anything that Perkins writes, even when she does a complete genre change like this. To be fair, it already seems fabulous.

FOREST OF A THOUSAND LANTERNS - An East Asian fantasy novel with an evil queen? Sign me up! It was good to get a sample to know for sure this is for me and I can say now it definitely is.

i loved each of the excerpts i read, but especially those for WARCROSS and FOREST OF A THOUSAND LANTERNS! Asian MC's and fantastical worlds? I NEED MORE PLEASE!

Loving these titles! Looking forward to reading the finished books of all five books. I appreciate the glimpse at these excerpts. It'll help get my fall orders together especially regarding YA. Working on setting those up now.
