I love when these come out because it gives me a chance to add to my “look out for” lists. I’m very excited to see that there will be a new Inspector Gamache novel by Louise Penny. I am also looking forward to Liane Moriarty’s “Nine Perfect Strangers” at the beginning of November. I do prefer the versions of these “buzz books” that have at least a sentence or two about each book, especially when it comes to the emerging talents. It’s very difficult to get an idea if a book is buzz-worthy solely by a title when the author is new. I did like the excerpts. I added “Liars’ Paradox” to my must list immediately after reading the excerpt. “Witness” is thought-provoking, and it would be hard to skip anything involving Elie Wiesel. I also added “Solace Island,” because it looks like it will be an interesting romantic suspense novel. I can’t wait for the next version of Buzz Books!

I always immediately scoop up any Buzz Books, but every once in a while one comes along that doesn't have much to interest me - this was one of those times.

One of the only books that really grabbed my attention this time around was Liars Paradox by Taylor Stevens. First of all, talk about a chilling cover. That rusty or bloody? blade on the cover is not something a reader will soon forget. This is a book about creepy killery twins. Really. I don't know what else to say about it. Its very much a fun spy novel. The writing style immediately pulled me in and lends to quick reading.

These Buzz Books are not only a great way to sample some upcoming writing, or be introduced to new writiers, they also provide an excellent barometer of the future of writing trends. Another great collection, I look forward to the next!

I always devour these Buzz Books as soon as they are available. What an awesome way to get exposed to books you wouldn't normally look at. I requested one and wrote the rest down in my notebook to get later on. I love this idea of reading snippets of stories to see if you like the writing and the book.

Already, the gift-giving season is upon us and Buzz Books is a great tool for just this purpose. We can also add to our own TBR pile. The November/December edition has excerpts in non-fiction, spy fiction, historical fiction and romance. All six titles appeared previously either in Fall/Winter or Romance Buzz Books. The publishing preview lists new titles arriving in November/December in the following categories: Extra Attention, Literary Favorites and Emerging Talents, Commercial Fiction and Non-fiction. Great book titles expertly assembled to guide the reading public. A handy tool.

Another great Buzz Book! I find these monthly Buzz Books to be a very valuable tool as I plan the books to feature on my blog during the upcoming months. I am really looking forward to Witness: Lessons From Elie Wiesel’s Classroom from this collection of excerpts.

For readers that missed the 2018 Fall/Winter edition, or the Romance edition, this will be a nice preview of a few upcoming books that were already highlighted in that edition.

If nothing else, this edition of Buzz Books Monthly reminded me how excited I am to read Witness and A Light of Her Own!

Worthy of attention for coming attractions. This book offers glimpses of promising fiction. My only wish is for more from these titles than the previews offered here.
