This is my first time getting a Buzz Book and I feel like a kid in a candy store! I can start getting a taste of the Fall/Winter books and the excerpts are conveniently linked to easily request NetGalley.

I love gettting these Buzz Books. I usually only want it for a peek at a title or two. But then I end up discovering a few more titles to read. The star of this edition is clearly Melmoth from Sarah Perry. But the new Elizabeth McCracken looks amazing.

Best place available to preview new Fall/Winter titles. Thanks to Publishers Lunch for making this available. It is invaluable to me as a bookseller.

Thanks to Netgalley for an eARC of this book.

A good resource to find out about upcoming books in the fall / winter. Lots to look forward to add to my TBR list abs to request for .

These books are always great for reading up on the next new and notable titles. They always help me find new titles to add to my TBR and/or request for review for my blog.

There are going to be a lot of good releases this upcoming fall/winter 2018, in the realm of both fiction and nonfiction. I am especially excited for several, including Hiro Arikawa's The Travelling Cat Chronicles (which looks to be both sweet and heartbreaking), Sarah Bird's Daughter of a Daughter of a Queen (which was already on my TBR list), Stuart Turton's The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle (which looks to be thrilling and exciting). Can't wait to read these titles - and more!

Thank you for making this available. It's a great resource when trying to decide which galleys to download for the coming months.

Wow. Lots of reading here. I've been reading most of the afternoon and though I got through quite a few of the excerpts (the ones I thought would appeal to me), I'm not even halfway through!

Being in the UK some of them might not be available to me (at an affordable cost) when they are published but there are a few I will look out for.

I've enjoyed a few Diane Chamberlain books in the past and I'm sure The Dream Daughter will be on my list.

I was intrigued by Daughter of a Daughter of a Queen but I'm not sure when or if that will be published in the UK. I do hope it will be. I think I would also like to read The Boy at the Keyhole. I'll need to look out for news of that one.

I don't often read short stories but there was something about the Friday Black excerpt that made me want to read more despite the fact it is a kind of horrific tale.of consumerism at it's worst.

No doubt over the next week I'll find many more titles to look out for. Thank you.

Thank you so much for posting these to look through. It introduces me to books I may not pick up before and gives me a chance to get a taste for what's to come later this year. It gets me so excited! I wouldn't have known about these otherwise.

Another release full of great excepts and information. You honestly cannot go wrong giving this a read. I love being able to use the excerpts to decide whether to pursue a book in the future as you don't always know from the synopsis alone. Genuinely, a resource I would miss were it to stop!

Thank you for an ARC of this Buzz Book in return for my honest review .

I have been trying not to add anything else to my reading wish list on NetGalley but this Buzzbook just ruined that notion entirely! I highly recommend this read as a great sampler of soon to be realised books covering a number of genres. I am very excited by a number of the excerpts and very grateful for the samples of each book provided . I can’t wait to start reading some of these and to see the next seasons Buzzboosks.

Buzz Books 2018 has 2 components - each of which make it invaluable, perhaps for different audiences, but I'm sure the Venn diagram of readers interested in both shows a significant cross-section of readers. The first component of Buzz Books 2018 is a fall-winter publishing preview, with release dates, of: (a) certain literary fiction, with sublists for "highly anticipated" and emerging voices, (b) debut fiction, (c) commercial fiction, and (d) certain nonfiction, with sublists for politics & current events, social issues, science and technology, history and crime, essays criticism and more, As someone who follows most anticipated lists closely, I still augmented my TBR by at least ten titles I hadn't known were scheduled for 2018 release, thanks to this publication. No, it's not a comprehensive list of all pubs, but it is broad and deep, nonetheless.

Second, Buzz Books 2018 (Fall & Winter) includes excerpts from a range of anticipated publications, including the following: Arikawa's The Travelling Cat Chronicles, Deveraux's A Willing Murder, Kingsolver's Unsheltered (my favorite), Mosley's John Woman, Adjei-Brenyah's Friday Black, Kochai's 99 Nights in Logar, and Carter's Invisible: The Forgotten Story of the Black, Woman Lawyer Who Took Down America's Most Powerful Mobster. Read what interests you; skip those that don't. In any event, Buzz Books 2018 (Fall and Winter) is worth perusing for all readers interested in upcoming releases.
