As always, I enjoyed reading the spring/summer edition of Buzz Books 2018 for Young Adults. There are quite a few books in this edition that hold a lot of promise, and I can't wait to continue reading them. Especially Fawkes by Nadine Brandes. It looks really, really good.
I can not wait to be able to get my hands on these books! Looking forward to Orphan Monster Spy and Legendary the most!
I look forward to these update so much! I stalk Netgalley when I think one may be due till I am successful!
It always is full of the best snippets of great books to come and it always makes my tbr a lot bigger!
This is another great collection of excerpts! I know that several of these books are going to be very popular this year. I have my eye on Furyborn, Legendary, and a few other titles from this group. I look forward to featuring many of these books on my blog during the next few months.
Thank you for the sneak peeks so I can decide which books I want to review!
Once again,extremely helpful to read about the most anticipated YA books this season :)
This is my first time trying one of the Buzz Books, and it's safe to say that it won't be my last! Much appreciation for the wonderful galley of recommendations. Requested quite a few on Netgalley.
Really Interesting books coming this year. Excited to read them all!
I always look forward to when these books come out - this is the third or fourth one I've read. I love getting the little taste of future books, and it's nice to sometimes take a step outside of my usual genres. There's always an interesting mix of genres that they put into these books. While there is some interesting books coming in the future, nothing really jumped out at me as "I have to read this right now!"
This is always a good way to see which books are getting publicity for the upcoming reading season. I was only intrigued by 3 of them, but it was a good use of time!
No public review for this title. Thanks for this collection of samples I have selected and requested my YA reading through to June. Thank you.
Love reading all the excerpts and finding all the best reads for my TBR pile! Especially excited about the sequel to Caraval...
I love seeing these pop up on NetGalley. I get so excited about the new upcoming releases, and I love knowing what to look out for.
Drop what you're doing. This edition has an excerpt from Legendary by Stephanie Garber.... I repeat LEGENDARY (aka. Caraval #2). This is not a drill.
I think this has got to be my favourite edition so far. Not only do we get a fantastic excerpt from Legendary, but we also get to see some other fantastic books. Here are a few of my favourites.
Fawkes by Nadine Brandes
Chemistry Lessons by Meredith Goldstein
Furyborn by Claire Legrand
and many more.
You guys seriously need to check out this edition. It is amazing!
As always a get teaser for some books I am really looking forward to this year.
My list for the previews:
Fawkes
Brightly Burning
Legendary
Ski in the Deep
Orphan Monster Spy
I read all of them except the little part by Sara. Only because it's the last book in the Unblemished trilogy, which I've been wanting to read. The two I really enjoyed was the prologue for Legendary (which just made me want to read it now, so I shouldn't have read that part yet😂...) And the part of Furyborn, which is book one in a trilogy :)
Once again, I loved reading through the latest Buzz Books. These books always load my TBR pile with more than I can handle.
The very first preview in this book is probably the one that I am most excited about. Fawkes, by Nadine Brandes is a YA tale of Guy Fawkes. I was interested from the moment I first saw that gorgeous cover (I must be honest. I 100% judge books by their covers.)
But then, there is that first line!!! "I wasn't ready to turn to stone". Ok Nadine Brandes- you have my attention!! Brandes' writing is beautiful and sucks you in immediately. I can hardly wait to get my hands on a copy of Fawkes!!
The next (also beautifully covered- THOSE COLORS!!!<3) novel that instantly grabbed my attention was Meredith Goldwstein's Chemistry Lessons. This book promises to be nerdy, mushy (in the best way), and just generally fun. This preview sucked me in, and I am so excited to see more of Maya, Kyle (I can just tell he will make me giggle), and Yael.
Orphan Monster Spy. This book seems so fast paced. It feels like the kind of novel you finish in one night. My heart was in my throat the entire preview, as Sarah ran from the soldiers. Its going to be an incredible, powerfully written read. Flipping through this book on my kindle to write my review, I am getting excited all over again.
And last but not least: Sky in the Deep. I knew I needed to get my hands on this book just from the summary.It explains that this story takes place in a war torn world. And the main character sees her brother. That last line. "The brother she watched die five years ago." WHAT!?! Yes please. I'm interested. Between that line and the beautiful black and gold cover of the girl holding the ax, I am calling this a must read. Not to mention the GORGEOUS writing. It is lyrical and descriptive. I am so excited.
Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to read this sample pack of books coming to a bookstore near me soon. I am really looking forward to buying The Boy of Tomorrow for my niece who is in middle school I really think she will enjoy it I have also requested a few full galley's to read myself.
Super useful as always, it's a wonderful way to know the titles that will come!
A really handy guide to some fantastic titles coming out this year. Perfect for any bookseller!
