I always look forward to these Buzz Books. They provide an invaluable preview of the best books coming up soon. Such a great idea to be able to read an extended excerpt.

I am admittedly a bit behind on reviewing Buzz Books because I thought I had already sent in several months worth of reviews, and yet, here they are, sitting on my computer, waiting to be sent. Oops.

There is a lot of promise to be found in Buzz Books May edition.

The Perfect Mother - I think this is a novel most thriller fans have been looking forward to for quite some time, so I won't say much. I will just say - this preview make the writing look perfectly paced for the next big thriller. I can hardly wait to read the full book.

Our Kind of Cruelty - I almost feel like I'm cheating reviewing this in a preview because.... I've already read the novel. And you guys. It was SO GOOD. I loved this book SO MUCH. I have very rarely been as uneasy while reading as I was while reading Our Kind of Cruelty. You know from the very beginning that you cannot trust the narrator which makes reading each page a very unsettling experience. I finished this book while sitting in an empty cafe by myself and the entire time I felt like someone was watching me because of how creepy the book was. I loved that it is a subtle unease instead of the in your face thrill you get from most creepy books. I cannot recommend it enough.

The Electric Woman - This book looks fantastic. I can hardly wait to read it. The cover is beautiful. I'm a sucker for memoirs written by strong women. Plus, Circus. Whats not to love?!

I found this book a very helpful resource. I would definitely recommend it. I am always looking for new books and sometimes it is hard to track them down on the internet. This book was recommended to me by a friend. It is well written and very easy to understand.

Another good look into upcoming fiction and other releases. Definitely worth getting to figure out if there's anything you want to add to your tbr.

I always enjoy the Buzz Books Monthly, and the May 2018 edition was no exception. Highly recommended for readers who can't wait for an excerpt from new and upcoming titles--and for those who want to spend their book budget in the best possible way.

Motherhood by Sheila Heti
My Ex-Life by Stephen McCauley
Legendary by Stephanie Garber

I love these samplers. I discover so many wonderful books that I had no interest in beforehand. The Perfect Mother in-captured. I found My Ex-Life humorous. Our Kind of Cruelty had me curious on what was going on and the lives of the individuals beforehand.
