Buzzbooks are very often some of my favorite books to review. I love getting little snippets of multiple books as I build my forever growing TBR pile. A few books that stuck out to me from this particular edition are:

The Travelling Cat Chronicles - Lets start with the cover! The cover is beautiful. from the light blue background to the bright white cat and fall leaves, it captivated me. It looks like a cozy fall read before you ever open the book.
I adore cats, so the idea of a cozy novel told through the eyes of a cat drew me in immediately. I would love to read this novel cover to cover and spend some time in the world of this cat as Arikawa sees it.


Daughter of a Daughter of a Queen - I honestly don't have much to say about this book. I knew I wanted to read it by the end of the description before I ever started the preview. A story about a slave woman secretly serving with the Buffalo Soldiers?! YES PLEASE


The Dream Daughter - This cover is insanely beautiful. Not to mention, right there on the cover it says "Diane Chamberlain" I will read literally anything the woman writes. I can hardly wait to get my hands on this one!

The Boy at the Keyhole - I am a sucker for a creeper read, which this promises to be. And creepy books about little kids are always creepier. Sign. Me. Up.


Listen to the Marriage - This book sounds intriguing. A failing marriage seen through therapy visits. Although, I must say, something about the writing style feels a little... suspect. I can't help but think there is a lot more going on than just a failing marriage and visits to a therapist. I can't wait to see what twists and turns are hiding in this one.

Cross Her Heart - Honestly, this is another one where just knowing the author was enough for me. A new Sarah Pinborough novel was all I needed to know that this story will keep me on the edge of my seat gnawing my nails off.

The Dinner List - Clearly this reading season is looking to be incredible because I am looking forward to more books than I felt on the fence about. The Dinner List looks magical. Its the classic "who would you have dinner with dead or alive" question answered in a novel. I can't wait to curl up with this on a rainy winter afternoon.

Freefall - This debut novel captured me from the first page. This is an author who knows how to convey a sense of urgency. I can't help but thing this will be a book that leaves readers gripping their novel till early hours of the morning because they can't quite set it down. I will absolutely be watching for this one to hit shelves in January.

Chariot on the Mountain - The second book featuring slavery that sucked me in was Chariot on the Mountain. This is probably top three in the books I am most excited to see come out. It promises to be very well written, well researched, historical fiction.

Witness - Come. On. Someone who interviewed Elie Wisel wrote a book!? This is going to be an amazing inspiring non fiction experience.



Seriously, if I took the time to detail every book that is coming out this season that looks incredible, this would be way too long to hold anyone's attention. Those are the books I am the most excited about. Fall/Winter in my experience, has always been the best season for new books and 2018 does not look like it will be disappointing. Happy reading everyone!

This is a wonderful way to read excerpts from upcoming books. It keeps me up to date and I love being able to get my list of new releases ready.

Amazing compilation as usual of all the noteworthy Fall/Winter releases. Incredibly handy when it comes to planning recommendations and reviews for readers.

This was a great way to get a sense of some of the top books coming out soon. I loved being able to read the first chapter or two of each book picked to get a sense of the author's writing style and story!

Buzz books are great for learning about the new books coming out. I love the sneak peaks and how I can read snippets of the stories from both known and unknown authors. I love it. I will definitely be checking these out more from now on and choosing books from here. It’s much easier.

I am so excited for so many of these books! Looking forward to reading them over the fall and winter breaks and seeing which I will be able to incorporate into my curriculum.

Love this Fall/Winter preview as it helps aid in creating a TBR list for the cooler months when I do most of my reading.

Summaries and sneak peaks help me better decide which titles are must reads.

Excellent resource! I enjoy watching movie trailers to decide which films to watch and this is the same idea for books. I was pleased with the multitude of exciting choices as well as the generous length of many of the excerpts. I've found several books that I will read based on the Buzz Books list.

Love getting the buzz books every quarter and load up my TBR with the titles therein. If you're interested in understanding the commercialism of a book, these books will help you see why they're buzz-worthy and give you some insight into what publishers are acquiring.

As always, Buzz Books is giving me loads of new titles for me to be excited about. I recommend Buzz Books for every book lover that needs to know what new releases are coming in next seasons.

I really enjoy these short snippets of stories that are available. Have found many books that will be great for the library. Thank you to the publishers and to Net Galley

Great selection of new books and have read a couple of excerpts which has prompted requests for the full read. As always, looking forward to the next edition.

This is a helpful resource for upcoming books. It is nicely laid out to distinguish between fiction, non-fiction, and debut books. Each book summary contains a preview chapter of the book to give you a sample of the writing. There is also a section for each book about the author which provides information about the author such as any awards or awards they have been nominated for. It also give the applicable publishing information as to pub date, isbn, publisher.

Very large compilation of great books coming out this fall. Really interesting excerpts

Thank you Publishers Lunch and NetGalley for providing a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

A helpful resource for helping me build up my TBR. It's definitely a good look at upcoming books with lists and excerpts.

Lots of great excerpts in here. Looking forward to reading quite a few! In particular, looking forward the Silent Patient.

This is my first time receiving Buzz Books. I’m so glad I have it! It makes it easier to choose what I want to read and now I can mark my calendar. It’s like having a personal secretary presenting me with books to read. All the research has been done for me.

I look forward to Buzz Books issues to give me an idea of books to anticipate in the coming season and to determine what I might want to read. This Fall/Winter issue is packed with intriguing reads and so much tlent. I can't wait! At first there is a listing of all Fiction and Non-Fiction books for the season - naturally the non-fiction is a small list compared to a huge listing of novels.

I already have copies of Dream Daughter by Diane Chamberlain, Melmoth by Sarah Perry, Virgil Wander by Leif Enger, and A Spark of Light by Jodi Picoult that I will be reading soon.

I have already read four great books for this season that I can recommend: Whiskey When We're Dry by John Larison, Ohio by Stephen Markley, The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton, and Lies by T. M. Logan. All are really good, but the last two are something special - I loved them both!

I see some favorite authors of mine have new offerings and I am anxious to read them all: Transcription by Kate Atkinson, Love Alive Twenty-Five by Janet Evanovich, The Witch Elm by Tana French, a new John Grisham and a new Liane Moriarty, Blood Communion by Anne Rice, and Elevation by Stephen King. I Cannot Wait!!

There were great excerpts of upcoming books that were all really very good. I found the excerpt from The Traveling Cat Chronicles by Hiro Arikawa absolutely charming and I have requested the full book. Becoming Mrs. Lewis by Patti Callahan looks really interesting and is based on C. S. Lewis' wife. Others I really think I would like are: Listen to the Marriage by John Jay Osborn, The Air You Breathe by Frances de Pontes Peebles, and John Woman by Walter Mosely.

Some debut novels I'd like to try from their excerpts are: Freefall by Jessica Barry, Family Trust by Kathy Wang, Alligator by Deb Spera, and The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides, and Little Comfort by Edwin Hill.
I'm so excited with this smorgasbord of great offerings!

Many thanks to Publishers Lunch BUZZ BOOKS through Netgalley for this great preview!

I look forward to each Buzz Book installment; this is no exception.

I love seeing what will coming out in the future. I make my list. Added 22 new titles from this Buzz Book issue.
What I especially appreciate are the samples from titles I might not otherwise pick up. For example, "The Traveling Cat Chronicles". I read this excerpt one night when I couldn't sleep. It was just enough to captivate and hook me. Now that title is on my list for Fall.

Ditto for "Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and, a Mother's Will to Survive" I've got to read the rest of her story.

Thank you for these little appetizers of books to come. I'm ready for the main dish!

This was my first Buzz Books and what an amazing opportunity to read snippets of upcoming books for Fall/Winter 2018.
It is broken down into two sections. The first section of Buzz books is a preview that includes the release dates of Fiction and Non-Fiction works. Fictional works are broken down in the following categories; Highly Anticipated, Emerging Voices, Debut, and Commercial. Nonfiction works are dissected into the following categories; Politics and Current events, Social Issues, Science and Technology, History and Crime, Essays, Criticism and More, and Biography and Memoir.
Section two allows readers to read excerpts from a range of some of the most anticipated books of 2018. Featured excerpts include "The Travelling Cat Chronicles" by Hiro Arikawa, SarahBird's, "Daughter of a Daughter of a Queen", "Becoming Mrs. Lewis" by New York Times bestselling author Patti Callahan, Diane Chamberlain's, "the Dream Daughter", and Jude Deveraux's, "A Willing Murder."
Those are just the first five excerpts to read. The list continues with readings from authors, Lief Enger, Lisa Gabrielle, Stephen Giles, Lynne Hugo and best selling author, Barbara Kingsolver.
Sarah Perry's follow up to The Essex Serpent, "Melmoth", is debuted here giving us the feeling of a kid counting down the days until Christmas. Luckily we only have to wait until October for the entire book.
There are thrillers, historical fiction and just some really good books that don't need categorizing to wet our appetites.
Buzz Books is a blessing and a curse for some many of us bibliophiles. There are so many good books to read and so little time as our book list is growing all the time.
