Thanks to Publishers Lunch for another preview book. There are a couple of these YA books that I will be purchasing for our classroom library. I work at a local high school. Students always are excited when I bring in new books. These books peaked my interest:

White as Silence Red as Song by Alessandro D'Avenia
When Elephants Fly by Nancy Richardson Fischer
The Girl in the Locked Room by Mary Downing Hahn

Love this collection. It's been a while since i got a buzz book monthly and when i saw this on my shelf it brought back beautiful memories. Thank you

This gave a nice overview of which books are going to come forward in the upcoming year. Nicely put edition.

This collection of YA Book samples is a great way to prepare staff for new books and to see what is currently trending or popular among our teenager readers. It means that when the books come in I already have an idea on the story and themes and can get straight into recommending them to students. I wish more publishers did this in an email PDF attachment format that teachers and librarians could subscribe to with seasonal new releases to help them get that step ahead.

As always with these titles, some work well and make me desperate to get my hands on the book and some less so. However, I always like having the chance to see what's coming up. Just sorry that my lack of organisation has meant I'm slow in posting reviews.

2018 was a good year! Quite a few authors that I love had books published. Cassandra Clare (she's a powerhouse!), Holly Black, Marie Lu, Kerri Maniscalco and Amy Lukavics. And then the new to me authors that quickly got some space on my TBR like Claire Legrand's Sawkill Girls. I found The Gilded Wolves excerpt to show a lot of promise, specifically with the characters. I have a feeling that the character development in this story is going to be excellent. Then Mary Downing Hanh comes through with with the spooky, chills. Just what I love! She can give you scares and a satisifying resolution. I'm sure that the rest of The Girl in the Locked Room won't disappoint. Having had graduated high school not long before the Columbine shooting I'm not too keen on reading about stories centered around it or that lift pieces of it in an alternative history sort of way. Going to pass on the Keplinger release. And I will also move past the Kate Milford story until I've read Greenglass House. I enjoyed the Natasha Ngan excerpt. Great start to a series. I've heard so many good things about Girls of Paper and Fire that I don't know why I haven't read it yet! Sadie is sitting on my shelf as I write this, pretty much staring me down! I love Courtney Summers writing. Her previous novels, the ones I've read, remain favorites. Sadie, I'm sure, will have a place there as well. This was fun! I should have done it sooner. So many good books in 2018 and I've heard wonderful things about many of them over the past couple of years. Happy reading!

Free Sampler so this will help you find stories that you want to read. You will like some stories and dislike some so you will know that when you download the sampler.

I always enjoy reading through the Buzz Books previews, they are a great resource for finding my next read!

One of the best parts about being a member of NetGalley! Love getting these and finding new authors each season!

Love getting the chance to preview some of the buzziest books coming out! This really helps when deciding what to buy and what to skip out on.

Great reviews of books coming out. I love reading through these and getting ideas to take back to my book club. Love Buzz Books issues!

This was such a good edition of Buzz Books! A great mix of genres, I've already gone on to read That's Not What Happened, Elephant and Sadie. Elephant and Sadie were both fantastic books. On my to-read list still from this edition are Mammoth, The House of One Thousand Eyes, and The Similars. I'm also intrigued about The Girl in the Locked Room, and White as Silence, Red as Song. So many great books that I might not of otherwise picked up!

I loved this book! I’m a huge fan of YA and this allowed me to get a real feel for new authors and new books, always a winner!

A great look at upcoming reads in YA. I enjoyed this immensely. Buzz Books always has intriguing extracts from interesting reads.

So many great books to add to my TBR! I love these previews. It's a great way to get introduced to the new books that will be coming out soon!

Thankful to have received this copy to sample so many upcoming books. I love the diversity of the stories and authors and I can’t wait to grab more of these novels to read.

I received free from NetGalley.

I like being able to read snippets of upcoming books to decide what books I want to add to my to-read list.

I'm a big fan of Buzz Books because of the variety of books they let me try. I've found some debut and new to me authors this way and I get to keep up with some publication dates of other books I might want to try and buy.

This particular Buzz Book is a Young Adult (YA) feature that has sixteen excerpts as well as some listed publication dates for other fiction and nonfiction titles. The publication date list just lists author, title, publisher and probably publishing dates as an FYI).

I actually found myself liking the contemporary "Mammoth" more than I thought I would...so that's on my list now! Also included was "The Similars" which looks to be delightfully creepy and "Shadow of the Fox" which left me wanting more.

My favorite cover was Natasha Ngan's Girls of Paper and Fire," the excerpt seemed very telling--I think that's going to be a very good book.

I think I added most of the excerpts to my "TBR" list because this was really an excellent Buzz Books.

Some truly fantastic excerpts! I've had the pleasure of reading some of these in full now (The Gilded Wolves being a recent favourite) and I'm wholeheartedly looking forward to picking up others, especially The Shadow of the Fox.

I love these samplers as they are a wonderful way to find upcoming books that I want to read and to also discover new authors.
