For those of you not familiar with Buzz Books, this collection gives you a glimpse of what will be on the shelves in the coming months. Some include a “sneak peek” type preview of the story, a “sample.” Others include just enough information to add it to your shelves. There is a separate book for each of the two annual books (Spring / Summer and Fall / Winter), as well as a separate book for those looking for Young Adult books.

Debut books include 11 “promising” debuts, including one debut fiction by a bestselling non-fiction writer, Aimee Molloy The Perfect Mother., a novel that has already been optioned for film by Kerry Washington (in case you’re interested, GoodReads is currently having a giveaway for this.) Featured debut authors include Luke Allnutt, Alice Feeney, Jane Rosenberg LaForget, and Zoje Stage.
Best-selling authors with new fiction include Kristan Higgins, Chris Offutt, Ottessa Moshfegh, and lots and lots of others.

In non-fiction, there are several memoirs, one about fighting in the Yemeni Civil War (Mohammed Al Samawi’s ”The Fox Hunt”), another about running away to the circus (Tessa Fontaine’s ”The Electric Woman”), one by Boston Globe’s ‘Love Letters’ columnist (Meredith Goldstein’s ”Can’t Help Myself”), another by a neuroscientist (Barbara Lipska, ”The Neuroscientist Who Lost Her Mind”), and yet another which is about a recently divorced, heartbroken veterinarian who connects with an orphaned baby hedgehog – a “life-affirming story of a man and his hedgehog” (Massimo Vacchetta’s - with Antonella Tomaselli – ”A Handful of Happiness”

This includes far too many others to go into, so I’d recommend you check it out yourself, but ones I’m hoping for a chance to read, or am curious about the ones that follow.

As expected another great selection of upcoming books to preview! My ridiculously long TBR just got a bit longer!

So many wonderful books coming out this spring/summer! Once again, my interest is renewed in the ARC's I already have, and now my TBR has expanded by half a dozen.

Wow! This is a fantastic addition to my other helpful guides... A fandabidosi biannual treat for me as always - for books I already have on my radar = additional information such as the publisher, expected publication dates etc and a MAHOOSIVE 45(!!!) individual excerpts most of which were new to me.

I generally use this along with the latest LibraryReads and IndieNext Booklists for a look at the latest upcoming releases. I then add all the ones I am interested in reading to my notebook and/or request them on NetGalley.

Terrific chance to take a quick look at some upcoming books AND to view the calendar for releases. Happy they've abandoned the monthly and have gone back to the longer term.

As usual, Buzz Books fills me with excitement about the season of reading to come. I particularly enjoyed the excerpt for Between Earth and Sky by debut author Amanda Skenandore.

Thank you so much for these samples! I'm still picking my way through because there are so many in this one, but I've already made note of several titles I must read in full. I can't wait!

I’m always excited to see these previews. It is so helpful to me in deciding what galleys to request !

My TBR stack always grows by so much with every edition of this! I love reading the excerpts and I usually end up reading a handful of these. Thank you!

Such fantastic selections! I cannot wait to read the full novels!!
