Thanks so much for getting me psyched for new reads. I discover new authors and see authors whose books I always look forward to reading.

I really like the Buzz Books and it’s exciting when a new one comes out. I keep a list handy and add numerous titles to my TBR. I also really enjoy the excerpts, as they are such a great way to know if you’ll like a book after reading a chapter or so. Thank you for all the work that goes into creating Buzz Books for readers!

I loved Buzz Books 2019 Spring/Summer! It provides an excellent list of must read titles coming up. I was particularly happy about the emerging voices and debut authors lists. I also enjoyed reading many of the excerpts that were provided, both fiction and non-fiction. My to be read list has multiplied!

I’m so glad I stumbled across this! I just requested a few after reading the extended excerpts, and added several more to my TBR list!

This was BRILLIANT!! It lists upcoming new releases and has some great excerpts as well. I’ve already added several to my already large ‘to be read’ pile based on the descriptions/excerpts alone. A great guide that has me excited for this reading year!

I was happy to find some books I’d like to read and review! Some I have heard of and some I have not. Thanks Netgalley!

I'm no longer working directly with adult purchasing, but these Buzz Books are super helpful talking to patrons at the circulation desk! They give me a quick view of the books many patrons put on hold or want to consider for their book clubs or personal reading.

It is wonderful having a resource to look at all the new books coming out in 2019. My wish list has grown ten fold from this.

Definitely worth the download. Lots of new titles were added to my TBR list based off this book. I am looking forward to Glory Road, Roar, A Nearly Normal Family and of course, The Last Time I Saw You. Thank you for publishing this for those of us who love to keep our to be read lists up to date!

DANGER! Your TBR list will grow immensely after you read the previews in this title. I could barely contain my excitement about a preview for J. Ryan Stradal's newest title, and then added practically everything else included in this roundup to my to-read list. I look forward to reading more about Valerie Jarrett's time in the Obama White House, as well as the upcoming Lauren Denton!

Thank you once again for making BUZZ BOOKS available via NetGalley. I really enjoy these summaries of forthcoming books and recommend them to readers who may not be familiar with this service. They offer an opportunity to quickly see which favorite authors have forthcoming books as well as a chance to learn about some debut titles. Both fiction and non-fiction (new books about Yogi Berra, Barbara Bush, and Sandra Day O’Connor, for example) are included. The Spring/Summer 2019 version contains excerpts from 44 talked about Buzz Books such as THE LAGER QUEEN OF MINNESOTA by J. Ryan Stradal and I am particularly looking forward to reading more of Valerie Jarrett’s memoir called FINDING MY VOICE.

Buzz books is a very useful tool that enables me to sample books, so I have a head start in deciding what to order for the library.

I have to repeat what I have said before, I love Buzz Books! I thoroughly enjoy reading the samples and deciding which I want to read!

Wow, great idea. Looking forward to many of this. Love being able to see the excerpts from the books also.
A new list is always a great thing. THANK YOU Publishers Lunch.
