I had never seen a Buzz Book catalogue prior to this and for a book lover, it was amazing. I am excited to get a preview of some much anticipated titles that will be released this year and can add them to my wish list.
An excellent way to preview a number of books it also provides links to request the full book if you are interested in it having read the excerpt as well as publishing info and about the author
These preview samplers are extremely helpful, allowing me to identify books of interest and books that aren’t a good fit. I’m glad I’ve discovered them!
Loved this preview of exciting Fall/Winter 2018 titles! Definitely found some new to me titles to add to my TBR list that I wouldn't have considered otherwise.
Always good to get a preview of some of the upcoming titles, and I appreciate the extracts which give a feel for the writing style. Thanks.
Thanks for the previews. Looks like another great fall. Can hardly wait to dive into some of these books and check our new authors
I loved the book. So many exciting new books coming out. It helped me to figure out what to add to my MUST read list. Plus the teasers were just long enough to give you a good feel for what the writing will be like and whether you want the rest.
I was so very excited to see that Haruki Murakami, one of my favorite authors is releasing a new book this fall!!! I am hoping it comes to NetGalley, though I will buy it anyhow just because it is Murakami!! I did find at least one other book that was available to request on NetGalley! Fingers crossed I get approved!! I love these previews to keep me updated and learn about books I might not normally know of or think are for me
This snippets and previews are really great for finding out the new titles and what books are good to recommend for customers, especially those looking for reader's advisory, or those who like the newest titles.
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.
Fall is usually “big” book season and this year is no exception. There are familiar and well-loved authors coming out with new books, but there are also intriguing books by debut authors. The lengthy book excerpts along with the list of upcoming titles that Buzz Books provide are a great resource for planning, reading, and reviewing upcoming books. A great preview and lots of books to be excited about!
I love the Buzz Books Monthly books. The excerpts are just enough to place the books on the to-be-read list, or not. Thank you for these!!
A useful book for someone looking to get a head start on things to read for the upcoming half of the year. I personally only a found a few standouts for me but I believe that reflects more on my tastes and less on the quality of the stories found within.
I'll continue to look in the future for more Buzz Books so I can get a leg up on finding new stories to read.
I absolutely LOVE getting the Buzz Books magazine. It gives me an opportunity to plan out my next ARC requests!

The Publishers Lunch Buzz Books are always fun. There's fiction from several genres as well as non-fiction. Each excerpt has a good summary of the work and some background information about the author to give a fair idea of whether or not this might interest you.
This edition is for books due to be published roughly between September 2018 and February 2019 (the dates I remember seeing - I haven't checked each one).
If the books are available on NetGalley for review, there is a direct link to click to request the book from a Kindle.
There are many Buzz Books publications for various seasons, genres, months - and they're all Read Now on NetGalley or on the Publishers Lunch website.
I got mine from NetGalley, (so thanks, NetGalley), but if you'd like to read one yourself and aren't a NetGalley reader, find a free download here: http://buzz.publishersmarketplace.com/
Enjoy whetting your appetite!

As always, I love the Buzz Books previews and excerpts! Excited to see many of these reads coming this fall!
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 : 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.
So look forward to this edition! Thanks so much to Publishers Launch once again.
