Really enjoyed this group of excerpts. Especially appreciate the debut author sections in these compilations. Now I am ready with my reading list for summer! Thank you for publishing Book Buzz!
Great release of upcoming books. Very Informative. Easy to look through. Gave me a few ideas on new books I want to read.
This is the second year that I have gotten this book and I am so appreciative of it! First of all it gives you a listing of the types of books, from both known and un-known authors, that you can expect during the year. This is a perfect way to make a TBR list and mark down when these books will be released so you can't miss them. Also included are highlights from some of the books so that you can read a sample beforehand ….. just enough to intrigue the reader …. and let us see what we will be most interested in, even allowing the opportunity to receive an ARC of some of the books. This is a reference that I keep returning to. Thanks so much to NetGalley, author and publisher for the opportunity to give an honest review of this book, which this has been. #BuzzBooks2019:Spring/Summer
The publishing world keeps on giving: With 44 excerpts of exciting selections and an incredible list of forthcoming spring and summer titles, no wonder our TBR lists keep growing! As a blogger, this Buzz Sampler is very helpful. Our literary eyes are bigger than what we can possibly read timed to publication, so I’ve whittled down my TBR list to some historical fiction (my favorite genre) by authors known and debuting, and a few memoirs of interest guided by evidence or expectation these will be beautifully written (my blog’s overarching priority.) Dominic Smith’s writing is gorgeous so I’m most excited to read The Electric Hotel. Other historical fiction titles: Sarah Blake’s The Guest Book, Elizabeth Gilbert’s City of Girls, Rachel Barenbaum’s debut, A Bend on the Stars, Fiona Davis’ The Chelsea Girls, Sally Rooney’s Normal People, Jennifer Weiner’s Mrs. Everything, and Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Memoirs: Lori Gottlieb’s Maybe You Should Talk to Someone from a therapist’s point-of-view, Myla Goldberg’s Feast Your Eyes about a photographer, and Jill Biden’s voice. Honestly, wish I had copies of all of them!
What a splendid roundup of previews. Great variety, definite BUZZ. Brings books into my radar that I'd otherwise miss. Especially appreciate the selection of debut authors.
Buzz Books are always fun to know about. I love to hear about upcoming titles! I've selected a few that I need to read ASAP!
Buzz Books always provide some nice insights into new upcoming books, which I enjoy (even though for my own good, I probably shouldn't because I already have so much to read.
Some very interesting new titles in this latest bunch, looking forward to reading some of them!
There are many excellent titles included here. I have already read a few ARCs and have downloaded a few others. I think everyone will find something they like in this great variety of choices.
This collection of excerpts is such a great way to get a sneak peak of your anticipated releases for the year. I’m so excited to read all of these books in full later this year!
Another great list of reads from this book. I always look forward to getting a sneak peek at these. Didn't disappoint.
Thanks to author,publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free,it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.
From reading other reviews, it looks like this is something that is published on a regular basis, for me however, this is my first experience with this publication and all I can say is WOW!!!!!!!! I'm so thankful to have been one of the lucky people that received a copy. I have added at least 10 of these titles to my TBR list and the best part of all is that Netgalley granted me almost all of the books I requested as Advanced Readers Copies. I've devoured two already! I often peruse Netgalley to see what strikes my fancy and typically I come up with one or two that I request and am approved for, this made it so much easier with links to request right at the end of the summaries of each book. Buzz Books 2019: Spring/Summer is jammed packed with so many awesome titles, I found myself limiting my requests so the publishers didn't think I was a hoarder! So many books, so little time! Get your copy!
Thank goodness Buzz Books are back! When at first I couldn't find them, I thought, "Heavens to Betsy" are they gone forever?! Relax my reading friends, they were just off styling a makeover. Just look at the new cover, the colors just pop out at you! Of course, the contents will just blow you away. The latest and greatest books, both fiction and non-fiction for spring and summer; plus a huge list of debut authors a mile long.
Included are select choices within each category, excerpts for you to read, more than ever this year, with links to request an ARC from Netgalley, etc. Enjoy!
I love the new cover! And, as always, this collection is filled with tantalising excerpts from some of the years best upcoming novels - general fiction, debut novels, and non-fiction. And also as always, this was very bad for my to-read list; and I loved it.
Wow. what an incredible collection of what to look forward to this coming season. I am so excited about some of these titles. Already planning my TBR in my planner, especially after reading some of those excerpts... Can I request all of them now please? Some that are grabbing my attention are: A nearly normal family, The Girl he used to know, and The Snakes among many many more!
Awesome selection of new books to choose from!!
There is a little something in here for nearly everyone, with over forty excerpts. I'm so excited about all the great choices, but 'The Guest Book' has me especially intrigued. I feel like a kid in a candy store!!
I'm already dreaming of all the great blog posts I can publish this coming spring and summer!!
Buzz Books 2019: Spring/Summer was the perfect way to preview and get acquainted with upcoming titles! This is a great tool to use as I plan out my reading year. I particularly enjoyed the debut section as a way to scope out new voices.
Some of the stories in this book were really intriguing and I've added them to my TBR. However, the length of this volume meant it was a little tricky to pull out which ones I might be interested in. I think it may have been better if it was subdivided by theme perhaps into separate e-books, roughly the size of the Buzz Books YA volume?
I really look forward to these collections! I always find so many great titles to add to my TBR and this collection was no exception. There are excerpts from novels and collections that I know many of us are excited for. This will definitely add to that excitement! If you're overwhelmed by the publisher's catalogs and want something that will help you focus on the best of the best, then get your hands on a copy of Buzz Books!
I loved getting to see the new books coming out this spring/summer. A few books I hadn't thought much about I added to my list to read! I am especially excited for The Last Time I Lied, Little Darlings, In At the Deep End, Red Birds and The Girl He Used to Know as well as many others. I love that you get to read the excerpts right away so I knew already if I enjoyed the writing style before I committed to the entire book. Can't wait for many of these to be released!
Oh my goodness, I think I ended up adding more than half of these to my TBR list. Great to have excerpts! Can’t wait to read these books.
