If you haven’t perused a Buzz Books edition yet, let me tell you, you’re missing out. This is the best way to expose yourself to new books; I’m talking a comprehensive list of upcoming releases by genre and date, summaries and even excerpts. What better way to find out if you connect with an author’s writing before spending the money on a new release? We all know, hardcovers can be pricey!

This month resulted in mostly no’s for this picky reader, but honestly, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. My overflowing bookshelf will survive without any new editions this time around.

New People - No, thank you.

If The Creek Don’t Rise by Leah Weiss - This was already on my radar; I will be reading it.

See What I Have Done - Interest is piqued; definitely going in the ‘maybe’ pile.

Impossible Views of the World - A definitive no.

The Half Drowned King - Not my cup of tea.

Stay With Me - I might consider it in the future, but as of now, I would say no.

Laugh Out Loud - I have no interest.

This sampler is great because its gives a list of 100 books to look out for from up and coming authors as well as established writers. Then it goes on to give excerpts of a select few books which is wonderful.

This is a great round-up of new titles coming in August. I will certainly be looking out for these titles and enjoyed the excerpts. Thanks NetGgalley.

This is a great collection of excerpts of upcoming books for the month of August 2017.

It contains an introduction followed by a section with a list of "Literary Favorites and Emerging Titles", debut fiction, commercial fiction, and nonfiction titles. Then it has a section of "Week by Week" title releases and at the end some book excerpts that were originally published in Buzz Books 2017: Spring/Summer, Buzz Books 2017: Fall/Winter, and Buzz Books 2017: Young Adult Spring/Summer. I particularly enjoyed the excerpt for NEW PEOPLE by Danzy Senna. I was also happy to see EMMA IN THE NIGHT featured in the releases for the week of August 8, 2017. I LOVED this novel.

Overall, a great list of buzzing titles for the month of August 2017.

I look forward to these being released every month. I always find things that interest me, that I had no idea were being published

I keep coming back for the publishing calendar as there's always something I've missed. This month it's Safe by Ryan Gattis - I loved All Involved so this one is a no-brainer. Can't wait!

A few books listed here which the lovely publishers at Netgalley have approved. Picked out Lucy Ives as a new read and interested in the new Karl Ove Knausgaard series beginning with 'Autumn'.
