A great overview of what readers can expect this month.

I just wanted to mention 2 books from this launch I am excited about. One I am currently reading, the Tan memoir I have to wait to buy at the end of this month.

I am currently reading and reviewing Phil Harrison’s The First Day. So far, it is not quite what I expected, it is much more than a forbidden affair. It spirals and manages to be a quiet disaster. The writing is wonderful, Anna is living ‘in the aftermath of love’. It’s painful and brutal, and a complex love affair. I go from hating Samuel to feeling empathy, because he struggles! So for that alone, I enjoyed this Buzz Books Monthly, I chose The First Day because of it. Also, I am seriously looking forward to Amy Tan’s Memoir ‘Where the Past Begins’.

As a an aside, a novel about a pastor ‘family man’ having an affair seems worn out, but it isn’t in Harrison’s hands. I am spending my evenings immersed in the mess the character Samuel has made and this quiet story simmers.

I will share my review soon.

I always enjoy these previews of books forthcomimg,this was no exception. So many exciting, interesting books are published this month...I could use some dreary weather to hunker in with several great reads.

I look forward to this each month! It's a great way to learn about upcoming fiction and nonfiction titles.

I liked, as usual, that it had lots of excerpts available, but unfortunately nothing interested me this time around. Hopefully next month's will be better!

An excellent preview of books to be published in the coming month. Clearly laid out with a listing of new books by genre. Followed by more-than generous excerpts from a good selection of them. Including audio is a great idea too.
Really useful - thank you to NetGalley for providing me with a copy in return for s fair review.

Incredibly useful to have this monthly overview of notable and completely across the board, new release titles for a forthcoming month . Makes for interesting reading and hugely helpful in the discovery of new reading material.

If a book is featured here, it's pretty much guaranteed that it will be excellent. I'm especially looking forward to The Dark Lake & Seven Days of Us. The excerpts have reinforced my desire to get these books when they come out. And I enjoyed reading previews of all October selections. Thank you NetGalley!

I can hardly wait to read Seven Days of Us. Finally, a great comedy to look forward to! In these times we need to laugh as much as possible. Thank you for Buzz Books, too!

I love these monthly excerpt collections; it is a great way to preview upcoming titles and decide which ones to request or pre-order. October comes with exciting new titles by old favorites like Isabel Allende and Dan Brown. I am looking forward to reading more of "The Dark Lake" and "Seven Days of Us". The best part, this collection includes audio samples!

Thank to NetGalley for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.

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

It contains an introduction followed by a section with a list of "Literary Favorites and Emerging Talents", 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: Fall/Winter. I particularly enjoyed the excerpt for The Dark Lake by Sarah Bailey.

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