Cannot recommend to students because they would have to get a NetGalley account in order to see the Buzz Books, but I always love reading these monthly feeds. Excited about the Diane Chamberlain book. Always great to see what is coming and get a preview excerpt. My home library continues to grow after reading these.

I never have anything bad to say about these books because it gives you a sneak peek into upcoming releases. There is always a good mix of authors being featured along with release dates. Being able to read excepts definitely gives it another element because there have been books I wasn't sure about buying and then having those few chapters ended up selling me on the book.

I love these because most of the time I discover a book coming out that I didn't know about at first or some hidden gems. It's a great resource to keep you updated on upcoming books.

I wish you would bring back the monthly version of these

I received a free ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoy reading the buzz books to help add books to my to-read list.

So many great books to add to my TBR! I love these previews. It's a great way to get introduced to the new books that will be coming out soon!

There are seven titles featured in this monthly Buzz Books sampler—three of which I’m eyeing up.
Of the seven, five were featured in the Fall/Winter collection; so if you’re like me and read all of the monthly and specialty Buzz Books releases, you might feel this is a little repetitive.

These samplers are simply amazing. Love hearing about the books coming out and being able to read excerpts adds to the excitement! I always look forward to these Buzz books, makes me feel like an insider knowing I can contribute to the buzz, by being in the know. Keep them coming please.

I really liked this because it allowed to view several different synopsises (synopsisi??) for books across a variety of genres, and I found and marked several books that I am very interested in reading in the future. Wouldn’t really call it a ‘book’ though. More of a catalog.

This is the monthly edition of Buzz Books, which details what books are being published during the month. It's divided into listed sections:

1. Extra Attention: This is the same format as the normal Buzz Books, but with a few more words about the book being mentioned. Authors listed here were Markus Zusak ("Bridge of Clay"), Susan Orlean ("The Library Book") and Kiese Laymon ("Heavy").
2. Literary Favorites and Debut Fiction: Authors listed here included Chaya Bhuvaneswar ("White Dancing Elephants"), Leif Enger ("Virgin Wander") and Louisa Hall ("Trinity")
3. Commercial Fiction: Authors included Sara Blaedel ("The Midnight Witness), Michael Harvey ("Pulse"), Debbie Macomber ("The Alaskan Holiday") and Anne Rice ("Blood Communion").
4. Nonfiction: Stephen L. Carter ("Invisible"), Pope Francis ("God Is Young") and R. J. Young ("Let It Bang").

It then goes week by week, which is entirely too helpful for my book hoarding tendencies!

All excerpts appeared in the Fall/Winter 2018 edition of Buzz Books, so they might be re-reads for some people.

BuzzBook is always a precious guide and voyage through the upcoming books. Really helpful to decide what to read next.

Love these! It's fun to get a chance to read extended excerpts of buzz books. I love the variety. I know that if I enjoy an excerpt I'll request the book from my local library. This collection did not disappoint.

I was so excited for the opportunity to read an ARC of this new book. I was drawn in from the first chapter and could hardly put it down! Highly recommend!

Useful preview of books to come, helps with finding new releases and new authors for blog posts and for personal reading/recommendations.

These are always my favorite because they shed light on many books that I haven't heard hyped about on instagram.

Amazing getting to know the up coming books, for the rest of the year. I’m going to have to keep getting these every month.
