Enticing compilation of excerpts of books and listing of books to come out over the next several months, a few I am hoping will become available on netgalley and a few I have already added to my queue. Love this compilation!

Great collection of books! I love Buzz Books for how easy it is to find new releases that interest me, and I've already added a couple to my TBR list for the upcoming Spring / Summer 2019.

Quite a few weren't up my street, but I found a fair few to add to my to read list - and there wasn't just one or two, there was actually a really good number of extracts which I found unusual but loved.

Can't wait for all these books to be published. It is really helpful to read a sneak peek before committing to reading the whole book. Thanks a lot!

This is great. It gives a quick look at a bunch of different novels coming out in the first half of the year. I love the fact that I can read a snippet and determine if I want to invest my time or money in the book at a later date. Thank you so much!

When I first discovered Buzz Books I was thrilled to be given insight into the best new books coming out. My problem was that "my eyes were bigger than my stomach". I requested more books than I could read in a reasonable time. So I had to practice moderation -- not reading Buzz Books until I got over 80% reviewed.

I am so glad that I was able to treat myself to another edition of Buzz Books. From this volume I am looking forward to reading the following titles:

<b>Fiction</b>
[book:On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous|41880609] ~ Ocean Vuong
[book:Lot|40749395] ~ Bryan Washington
[book:Places and Names: On War, Revolution, and Returning|42041745] ~ Elliot Ackerman
[book:Patsy|41817523] ~ Nicole Dennis-Benn
[book:Bunny: A Novel|42732512]~ Mona Awad
[book:The Snakes: A Novel|40651668] ~ Sadie Jones
[book:If, Then: A Novel|41086039] ~ Kate Hope Day
[book:The Old Drift|40060700] ~ Namwali Serpell
[book:Stone Cold Heart|40221975] ~ Caz Frear
[book:The Confessions of Frannie Langton|39937621] ~ Sara Collins

<b>Non Fiction</b>
[book:The Scandal of the Century: And Other Writings|41880622] ~ Gabriel Garcia Marquez
[book:Survival Math: Notes on an All-American Family|36373576] ~ Mitchell Jackson
[book:Then It Fell Apart|41826893] ~ Moby

As always, I am very impressed with the incredible selection of fiction, debut, and non-fiction excerpts that Buzz Books offers. This includes 18 debut authors in addition to known authors like Nell Zink. I am looking forward to going through each one and picking my favorites.

Thank you to NetGalley and Buzz Books for offering this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This biannual publication introduces the new publications for each season. Most exciting are the 44 excerpts in this edition. These excerpts include known authors as well as new authors, fiction and non-fictions. What is interesting and exciting is the wide variety of themes in the writings. I find Buzzbooks an indispensable read to make a more informed choice on what I want to read and purchase this coming season.

Buzz Books are so helpful! It's a great way to get an idea of what some of the hit new titles are going to be, and when they'll be published. As a librarian this helps me make purchasing decisions.

It is so fun to see what we have to look forward for books on deck to be released in the Spring & Summer of 2019! I am thrilled to be a member of NetGalley who gives us such an excellent sneak peek at upcoming titles of various genres! Excerpts from fiction, fiction debut, and nonfiction genres…and great ones to boot! Lots of great reading to come!

I love the Buzz.. it gives me enough insight into titles to hand sell them or search for the ARC and make them my staff picks. This is one of my favorite sales tools!

This compilation was extensive and well designed. I found more than enough books to add to my wish list, and am now anticipating even more upcoming releases as we head into spring. If you're always wondering where to find out about new books, this is a great resource.

Buzz Books 2019 is a list of Adult books that will be released in the Spring and Summer of 2019. There is a separate book for YA titles. The sections break down Fiction books, Debut novels and also Non-Fiction. Beware, this book will be dangerous to your TBR list! You will find a picture of the book cover, a synopsis of the book then a sample of the book to read, and lastly it provides details about the author and release information. Highly recommended for anyone who loves books and wants to be the first to know what they have to look forward to in the upcoming seasons.

I've really enjoyed perusing this, and adding more books to be To Be Read list. I appreciate the opportunity to dive into the books further before either requesting them as ARCs, or just putting them on my Hold list at the library.

I've heard excellent things about the Buzz Books Collection. This is the first time I've viewed one for myself and it definitely lives up to the hype! An outstanding collection of excerpts that will give you a substantial peek at so many upcoming books. I will be requesting the Buzz Books Collection whenever I see one available!

Warning: this collection will not help reduce your TBR stack!! Proceed with caution unless you want to add multiple books to your TBR!
