Wow, this is amazing. I wish something like this was on the receptionist's table as you walk into any library. It's a fantastic way to get to know books that you might be interested in - books that are getting more and more popular, even before they come out sometimes.

It also offers a great deal or publishing information and author bios. LOVE IT! Saves a ton of Google research for those considering a closer look at the publishing world.

I haven't even finished it yet - it's not a sort of book you just flip through and be done. It's more of a directory of your near future's literary life - but I've already bought a few of the books represented here.

Thank you NetGalley so much for this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

I really love these buzz books excerpts. My favorite thing about NetGalley is being able to see these lists of upcoming reads and being able to read a chapter or two of selected books.

I really enjoyed the samples that were found in this book. I definitely will be requesting some of them. I think that this is a good idea for reviewers to really see if they will enjoy a book for not. I also think that it is great exposure for the books inside.

a great comprehensive preview into most highly anticipated books of 2018, featuring excerpts and covers

Oh my goodness! My TBR list has grown tremendously thanks to this "book buzz".

I am looking forward to The Wicked King, Girl in the Locked Room, The Me I Meant to Be, The Fall of Crazy House, and several nonfiction titles.

As an adult new the YA genre, this is sampler showed me what I have been missing!

Highly recommend to other adults and parents who want peruse the landscape of skillfully curated YA books!

Mammoth by Jill Baguchinsky [5 stars]: A story about a fashion blogger with a summer paleontology internship, sign me up! Loved this excerpt. The MC is sassy and loves mammoths more than dinosaurs :) Added to my TBR

The House of One Thousand Eyes by Michelle Barker [3 stars]: I was interested after reading the synopsis, but what I read so far didn't really sway me either way. Not sure if I will read this or not. It follows a girl named Lena living in East Germany in the 1980s.

The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi [3 stars]: I don't know how to feel about this excerpt or how it read. Parts of it were interesting (and reminded me of how Flame in the Mist started), but not all of it captured my attention. It took me a bit to get through it.

White as Silence, Red as Song by Alessandro D'Avenia [1 star]: I didn't finish this one. I think a little got lost in translation and it didn't make for a cohesive read.

When Elephants Fly by Nancy Richardson Fischer [4 stars]: I am looking forward to this one and seeing how the mental health representation is done.

The Girl in the Locked Room by Mary Downing Hahn [skipped]: It's a horror book. I need to sleep LOL

The Similars by Rebecca Hoover [3 stars]: This has potential but it seemed extremely juvenile and trope-y right out of the gate.

Shadow of the Fox by Julie Kagawa [5 stars]: OMG. I have an ARC of this and it's going on my TBR soon. The little bit was sooooo incredible.

That's Not What Happened by Kody Keplinger [5 stars]: Just enough to get me hooked and now I have to wait until August at the very least. This one wasn't even on my radar. Added to my TBR

A Spark of White by Sangu Mandanna [5 stars]: A space opera with roots in Indian stories that grabbed me from the very start and cliffhangered me hard at the end of the excerpt. Added to my TBR

Ignite the Stars by Maura Milan [5 stars]: Another phenomenal scifi book to look forward to. This one is a debut novel and is very different than the space opera I just read an excerpt from. Added to my TBR

Bluecrowne by Kate Milford [skipped]: This is a sequel to a book I have not read.

Girls of Paper and Fire by Natasha Ngan [5 stars]: The part demon/part human thing pulled me in immediay. This book was already on my TBR and I am even more excited for it now!

Pay Attention, Carter Jones by Gary D. Schmidt [4 stars]: Interesting middle grade excerpt. Really intrigued to find out what happens! Loved Carter's perspective. I think my kids would enjoy this one too.

Grim Lovelies by Megan Shepherd [2 stars]: Wasn't big on this excerpt at all. Really flowery writing. Removed from TBR

Sadie by Courtney Summers [3 stars]: This was okay. A girl dies in a fire and her sister goes missing a year after her death.

Once again YA Buzz Books was a great help and the 2018: Young Adult Fall/Winter gave me some great recommendations.

Being able to review these book samples is an excellent way for me to know what books are coming soon, to pre-order books for my library and to share with my friends and colleagues.

I always look forward to the new editions of Buzz Books! It truly helps me discover new books and authors that become new favorites!

This edition is amazing! I loved it. I keep me updated and help myself to prepare for the upcoming great books. Plus I get to read amazing excerpts!

I really enjoy reading every issue of Buzz Books because every time I find many interesting books to add to my TBR. In this edition of Buzz Books 2018 : Young Adult Fall/ Winter I discovered books that I had heard and after reading an excerpt from it I added it immediately to my TBR. I also found books that I didn't know but I look forward to learn more about them and read them.
I also use this publications for inspiration for my blog posts.

This was a great preview of a number of very exciting anticipated releases! I'm most excited about Sadie, The Gilded Wolves, and Girls of Paper and Fire - adding all of them to my TBR.

This is a brilliant way to get a glimpse into some of the upcoming YA releases and I don't know why I haven't read any of the previous Buzz Books for that reason. Something that will be rectified in the future as I loved reading this one!

I kept seeing these books for the past year or so and have never read one, but they are great! This is a great way to find out about new books and get a little deeper with some. It is such a great resource for a librarian! I look forward to the next one!

Once Again I want to say thank you to Publishers Lunch for providing BUZZ BOOKS – this issue contains 16 excerpts from upcoming YA works. It is great to see choices from smaller presses and from writers outside the US (e.g., Barker's THE HOUSE OF ONE THOUSAND EYES or D'Avenia's WHITE AS SILENCE, RED AS SONG – hailed as Italy's The Fault in our Stars). There is plenty of fantasy and sci-fi: Chokshi's THE GILDED WOLVES, or IGNITE THE STARS by Milan, or GIRLS OF PAPER AND FIRE by Ngan, or GRIM LOVELIES by best-selling author Megan Shepherd. Some of the titles (by authors like Mary Downing Hahn, Kate Milford and Gary Schmidt) stretch the definition YA to include middle grade novels.

In addition to the excerpts, there is a more complete list of fall and winter fiction and non-fiction geared to YAs; be sure to look for upcoming titles by Avi, Deb Caletti, Traci Chee, Cassandra Clare, Jessica Cluess, Rachel Cohn, John Feinstein, Ellen Hopkins, Robin LaFevers, Claire Legrand, David Levithan, Patrick Ness, Beth Revis, Brandon Sanderson, Neal Shusterman, Andrew Smith, Sonya Sones, Nic Stone, Rick Yancey, and Ibi Zoboi… plus MANY more – making it very difficult to say which one I am most excited about. The non-fiction choices are fewer, but include a new work by Malala Yousafzai which I know my students will want to request and others I am going to likely purchase: NEVERTHELESS, WE PERSISTED by Amy Klobuchar and WHEN CAN WE GO BACK TO AMERICA by Barry Denenberg. BUZZ BOOKS are a very helpful resource!

Loved getting a preview of upcoming Young Adult/Teen books and enjoyed having access to excerpts. There were many authors I am excited about set to have new releases coming soon!

I really love these little e-catalogs that are put out! It gives me a good chance to check out new and upcoming books so as I have a better informed decision about my possible purchases! Also I love that I can check out new authors as well as some of favorites!

As always I loved this preview when it comes out, I look forward to it every quarter. Even though it does horrible things to my TBR pile.

I love that this book gives plenty of excerpts to some of my most anticipated stories. I cannot wait to get a closer look to each of these books. Since these are only excerpts, I cannot fully evaluate them, but I will be ready to once they release!

There are quite a few novels I’m looking forward to. Most notably:

White as Silence, Red as Song by Alessandro D’Avenia

When Elephants Fly by Nancy Richardson Fischer

The Similars by Rebecca Hanover

That’s Not What Happened by Kody Keplinger

Pay Attention, Carter Jones by Gary D. Schmidt

Sadie by Courtney Summers
