This preview of upcoming books is always a great way for me to add to my Reading List, but also feel out some books that I think I'm interested in as well. Keep a pen and paper handy as you review, because you're sure to fine some winners!

Nice to have a preview, but nothing too exciting here! Many of the most anticipated titles do not have a preview to read.

Though I love the concept of Buzz Books, I wish that more clean and wholesome content was available. I’m grateful that Denise Hunter and Rachel Hauck were available in this particular offering as their writing always speaks to me. In the future, I’d like to see more from these and other inspirational authors.

Useful resource for researching which books you would like to request! This title provides information and excerpts on upcoming titles for NetGalley. Will help you make more informed requests and read samples of titles you are on-the-fence about requesting.

I always enjoy these buzz books. It's exciting to read what's going to be published in the coming months and get an inside scoop. Keep these books on offer.

There are several good books listed in this guide. I’m wondering what determines whether or not a book makes it into the BUZZ BOOKS book guide OR does EVERY book coming out in the Winter/Fall make it in the guide at some point? I am aware of several books coming out but I did not see them listed. They do update BUZZ BOOKS continuously so maybe that’s why the books that I am looking for aren’t there yet.

As always, reading the passages provided here give me an excellent notion of what I would like to read when the weather gets cold. An additional feature I would love to see is a list letting me know which of these will be made on Net Galley. Thank you, Net Galley and Publisher's Lunch, for the chance to read and review.

I always jump at the opportunity to download the latest Buzz Books. The Fall/Winter 2018 edition comes packed with interesting selections. I was already looking forward to Sara Perry's "Melmoth", and there is also an excerpt for the upcoming Barbara Kingsolver novel. My greatest discovery from this edition was "The Traveling Cat Chronicles" by Hiro Arikawa; it is a first-person account from the point of view of a cat and as soon as I was done reading the excerpt, I requested the galley because I loved its originality!

Was great to get an insight into what Publishers Lunch thinks are some of the most exciting, potential best-selling, books of the latter half of 2018!

I adore using this publication for building my Fall TBR to share on my bookstagram account! I request some of the books from NetGalley and put the rest on my library and purchase lists.

This book was very helpful in pointing me to upcoming publications of interest. Thank you for granting my request to read it. I don't have a patron-facing review to share, since the book served a professional purpose for me. Again, thank you for fulfilling my request. The book is quite helpful.

Buzz Books covers everything in the publishing world from teen fiction to mass market and to non fiction. If you're a professional in the book industry, there's nothing else like it to plan ahead.

Buzz Books is a great selection tool. I appreciate the great roundup of forthcoming titles. I got many ideas for potential book club selections. I added many titles featured here to the library's collection.

I love this sampler and always look forward to each edition to help me see what's coming up next. I found some great titles that I'm excited to read, requesting some galleys and adding others to goodreads to remember later when galleys weren't available.

As always, this provides the best of the best as to what we should all look forward to in Fall/Winter releases for this year. It's always great to get reading samples of books from those that sound appealing or new books from favorite writers to test the waters.
