Thank you Net Galley for sharing this one. I appreciate the heads-up about all new books and authors for the fall/winter 2018. It helped me develop a reading list. marked many books for TBR, and took advantage of the links offered on several of the books. The excerpts help determine what’s really interesting. books to see what you like,. The author information was a nice touch too. Thanks again.
Thank you so much Net Galley for sending me a copy of this book for my honest review. This was the first time I’ve had a book of this type and it was awesome! Being an avid reader, I truly enjoyed getting a heads-up of new books and authors for the fall/winter of 2018. I marked many books for TBR, and took advantage of the links offered on several of the books. I highly recommend that all readers that like to see what’s coming on the horizon get this book and enjoy the short excerpts of each of the books to see what you like,. ALso included is a bit of information about the authors, which is also interesting. Enjoy!
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!
An exciting array of novels and nonfiction titles are slated for the 2018 Fall/Winter season. Among the stories I look forward to sharing with co-workers, friends, and library patrons include Mark Dery's new biography of celebrated illustrator Edward Gorey; Michelle Obama's memoir, Becoming; an English translation of The Travelling Cat Chronicles by Hiro Arikawa; and the Civil War drama, Daughter of a Daughter of a Queen by Sarah Bird. I'm also intrigued to see how Jude Deveraux, bestselling romance novelist, fares with her first mystery, A Willing Murder. Examinations of the American political landscape continue to provide much food for thought. Neil deGrasse Tyson and Avis Lang partner in an exploration of the ties that bind astrophysics and the military. Between follow-ups to previous releases, debut authors, and the range of nonfiction, you won't have much time for anything else. What a wonderful "problem" to have.
I always love getting a preview of upcoming reads! Enjoyed knowing that many of my favorite authors will have new material in fall and enjoyed perusing the many excerpts provided in this book!
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.
There are so many novels from this list that I'm excited for. Most notably:
Daughter of a Daughter of a Queen by Sarah Bird
Dream Daughter by Diane Chamberlain
A Willing Murder by Jude Deveraux
The Boy At The Keyhole by Stephen Giles
The Testament of Harold's Wife by Lynne Hugo
The Air You Breathe by Frances De Pontes Peebles
Welcome to Paradise by Elin Hilderbrand
A Spark of Light by Jodi Picoult
Alaskan Holiday by Debbie Macomber
Interesting selection and I think I'll be checking out one of the authors when the full book comes out but the snippets didn't really make me want to pursue most of them. Regrettably I'm not keen on short stories so feeding me small chunks like this doesn't really work.
It's always a good day when I see a Buzz Books pop up in the feed! Love checking out all of the sneak peeks in this guide!
I enjoy reading these preview books. It's a good peek into what is coming later this year. I'm really excited to read The Travelling Cat Chronicles.
I absolutely love these Buzz book teasers. It always puffs up to TBR list and the samplers included are good enough to give you a taste of an author’s writing style and make you take a chance on a writer you may have otherwise ignored. So I hope they never stop with these and here is what I’m adding to my list for Fall/Winter.

Special notes. There are two books that were contained within this buzz but I didn't list them because I have already read them. They are
John Woman by Walter Mosley and My Mother, Barack Obama, Donald Trump And The Last Stand of the Angry White Man: An Autobiography of America. Both were outstanding! Pub date for both is Sept. 4.
The book I'm most anticipating is Michelle Obama. And I'm eager to see how Carol Anderson follows up on White Rage with her new offering.
This is a wonderful resource for many of the upcoming books. It includes some great samples of some books too.
This is the first time i have known about and received Buzz books. The Fall/Winter edition of upcoming books is a valuable resource and have already preordered several based on their previews. My To Be Read list list is getting longer.
This is the first time I downloaded one of these guides. I was able to put a lot on my TBR shelf. I will most certainly use additional guides in the future.
My to-be-read list just got longer! Another great Buzz Books. Not to be missed!
Thanks to publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free, it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.
Excited for the upcoming books! I've now got quite a few books lined up for fall. This is a great way to preview them. Thank you.
Love the excerpts and overview of what's coming up in the Fall/Winter. Buzz Books is a fantastic resource when sorting out what to request for reviewing.
I found the fall/winter Book Buzz extremely helpful. I am not going to be traveling to NY for bookcon this year, so this was helpful to see what is coming out later this year. Not the whole books, or ARCs by any means, it still gave me an idea of the books I will be wanting to purchase this fall and winter. Now it is the wait that is going to kill me!
I always enjoy these sneak peeks at what is coming up as I always find something that interest me. I will definitely be watching out for some of these especially the thriller/mystery ones!
The majority of the books I read currently are from the young adult category, so this gave me the opportunity to reach out of my comfort zone a bit. It introduced me to several new authors and has me looking forward to reading books from genres previously would have never considered.
