Worth getting just for the extract from Legendary. So excited...
However, there were a few good extracts. Shouldn’t do this because I keep finding yet more books to add to my pile to read.

Excited for a lot of titles in here! Some of them I think will end up with a lot more traction than others and at least one that I don't think will hit the market as well as they think. Either way, I'm excited for a lot of them!

This collection of releases is great. Tin Man , which I have already read was a standout novel of my 2017 year. All of the other books in this pack are now on my Want To Read List

I adore these round-ups of upcoming novels, and only wish I'd caught onto some of them sooner. My library hold list (and kindle files) are stacking up!

The Perfect Mother and Our Kind of Cruelty in particular had excellent extracts. So excited to read the books!

I love having a monthly list of the most anticipated book release dates. It makes life so much easier knowing what I want to read next. I'm particularly excited for the release of Our Kind of Cruelty by Araminta Hall (I read the excerpt for this one in a previous release from Buzz Books) and The Perfect Mother by Aimee Molloy. The excerpt from The Perfect Mother in this edition of Buzz Books Monthly really grabbed my attention and I can't wait to read more. I was just approved an early copy of How to Walk Away by Katherine Center (also read an excerpt of this one in a previous release), and I can't wait to start on it today. Motherhood by Sheila Heti also looks promising. I actually purchased this one on the day it was released (May 1st), and I'm nearly finished with it. It's the first autobiographical fiction I've read and much different from what I usually read, but I've really enjoyed it so far. May definitely looks to be a promising month in the literary world!

Nice compilation of books to be released in may and I liked the excerpts of upcoming books. I discovered a few books I had not heard of in it.

Her is another tantalizing book for excerpts to add to my to read list. Keep this coming - I love the little "teasers" in these books.

The May 2018 Buzz Books Monthly sample is great to get to find out some of the upcoming books. Some samples are given. It is a good way to read a excerpt of a author's book you have not read yet.

I loved this edition on upcoming books! Hope to read it every month and get ahead on all the new titles that are coming up.

Sadly, I've been away from reading for a month or so, just picking up a book today to sink back in. Reading this month's Buzz Books Monthly really relit the fire for me, getting me excited about books I have on tap for next month (Mars Room, I'm lookin' at you!), and highlighting a few I hadn't heard of somehow. A brilliant way to get back on my reading game!

This was a really useful preview of some great books coming up next month. I read extracts from books that i might not otherwise have picked up but will now look out for. I was also really excited to read the extract from legendary as I recently read Caraval and loved it. This was the first time that I had read one of these preview collections and I will be reading more in the future! A great way to get a taste of lots of different books to see what you might like to read

This was an excellent way to find out just what exciting books are soon to be released. There’s a really useful calendar but perhaps even better are the various excerpts designed to encourage readers to want to read more. If I’m honest only one book didn’t appeal to me so downloading this was definitely a good idea.

I love the Buzz Books Monthly books. The publishing dates are very helpful. I like the summary at the beginning and the excerpts are just enough to keep me interested, or not. I appreciate the effort it takes to compile these lists. Thank you!

I always find so many books to put on my TBR list from these! I really look forward to them.

An exciting list of new releases.in May. Tin Man by Sarah Winman and Motherhood by Sheila Heti excerpts were highlights for me. Also great to see a collection of William Trevor’s final short stories is being published.
