I love learning about new titles all in one location. Each of these new books look incredible I can't wait to request all of these books. I don't know why everyone doesn't check out this preview book to learn what is coming out.

I enjoy reading the Buzz Books samplers that give excerpts from upcoming YA books. Unfortunately, in this edition there were not really many books that appealed to me. There are a few sequels to series that I've not yet read and there are several retellings that I'm not interested in. While there were no books I intend on reading from this collection I do intend on perusing future Buzz Books editions. My thanks to Netgalley for providing me with this copy.

This eARC is a perfect way to see what new books are coming out. My TBR shelf has just doubled in size.

There are so many books coming out this year and I absolutely can't wait! I love looking through these catalogsI've just d and getting excited about all the upcoming releases! I get to discover so many new books and put them on my radar.

I love getting the Buzz sampler all the books that are coming out I just cant wait to read... my favorite was The last Voyage of Poe Blythe that one is on my radar for next month and I really liked All our Broken Pieces I thought Hot Dog Girl looked good and that a new to me Author so looking forward to that one too

Thanks again Netgalley and all the publisher for a little sneak peek into all these fantastic books

I really appreciate these books! It helps with ordering and finding titles. I like the excerpts, which helps get a better feel for a book and whether or not I need to order it for my library. I also like the listing of release dates. It helps so much!

Another season, another collection of YA books that are soon-to-be-released. As usual, Publishers Launch has put together an eclectic collection of books. This set was definitely heavy on the fantasy side which could be a deterrent to some. I was very excited to read the graphic novel excerpt.

Overall, an interesting selection of upcoming books.

I really enjoyed reading the teasers. I would say that my favorite of them all was the first about the Romanovs. I wanted to keep reading!

When you have been blogging as long as I have and live outside of the USA it tends to be hard to get sneak peeks of upcoming titles so having this allows me to discover some hidden little gems that I might not otherwise know about and the chance to see some fantastic titles coming out.

Thanks for the fantastic resource! Perfect to have on hand while planning out reviews and books to look out for in the coming months!

Wonderful! Cannot wait for these title to release, and I've already added some of them to my reading list.

The 2019 Young Adult Spring/Summer edition of Buzz Books has a great selection of books for readers. There were a couple of stand out books that really interested me in this edition. Romanov by Nadine Brandes particularly interested me and Outcasts, the third in the Ferryman series by Claire McFall.

Definitely looking forward to these books.

Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this title.

Some great YA books coming your way this Spring/Summer 2019. Just a few stand outs are:

Romanov by Nadine Brandes (Thomas Nelson; ISBN 9780785217244; 5/7/19)
Descendant of the Crane by Joan He (AW Teen; ISBN 9780807515518; 4/2/19)
Operatic by Kyo Maclear, Illustrated by Byron Eggenschwiller (Groundwood; ISBN 9781554989720; 4/2/19)

Thank you to NetGalley and BuzzBooks (Publisher's Lunch) for providing a digital copy in return for an honest, unbiased review.

A good opportunity to get a sneak peak at a bunch of upcoming books. It would have been lovely if there was an option to read more than was available...

Many thanks to NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. My opinions are 100% my own and independent of receiving an advance copy.


Another edition of Buzz Books. As I have said before, if you want an amazing selection of books for the upcoming season, you must read this first. Not only will you get a list of awesome books where you can see if your favourite author is coming out with something new, you can find great new selections that you might not have otherwise found out about. They also have a selection of excerpts from their list so you can get a real opportunity to see if that book would appeal to you.

The Young Adult genre has grown exponentially over the past few years and now there is so much coming out, it is helpful to have some experts sort through the noise. I would have preferred for them to have broken down their list a little more - there is only fiction and a small selection of nonfiction. For example, if they could have grouped all the books that are in series, or by genre like fantasy, comedy, that would have helped. It was just too many for me to go through. Some I recognized and added to my list, but I just couldn’t get into the others. As I was going through the long, long list, I found that there were so many books that looked exactly the same. I became bored. Yes, I love fantasy and I love a female protagonist, but I just can’t get excited about the same blurb of she has magic, she is in danger, she is all alone, what will happen!!! Some of them are great, but some of them are just mediocre. Everyone is looking for the next big thing, but seem to be copying what the last thing was. It was like when there was a plethora of vampire books because of Twilight. As far as the more contemporary fiction I just found again, a lot of important issues, but really just two issues that would repeat over again. I feel like I have already read so many of already. I think that for people who are in this demographic, they can get much more excited about some of these than I can.

What did stand out to me is there are some real, potentially amazing books that I could use in a classroom. There is a Shakespeare version of Mean Girls. That’s right, Mean Girls written out in iambic pentameter! Well, don’t quote me, I don’t know if it is exactly but Shakespeare-like language. I think this will be a great teaching tool. There is female version of Arthur and The Sword and a few Joan of Arc retellings. One thing that was of great interest to me personally, was a graphic novel about Maria Callas, a famous opera singer. Reading through the excerpts, I noticed that many have chosen alternative styles of writing other than the straightforward line by line. This is always something relatable and important as it allows access to different types of readers.

I think I will wait and see what rises out of the heap, to see if there is anything worth reading this season. As far as getting a Buzz Books list, definitely!

Out of all the books listed at the front I thought the selection of excerpts was poor. There was a lot of sequels which is no good if you haven’t read the first, and an overwhelming proportion of fantasy which is not my favourite genre of book, and I thought there would be more of a mix of books

As ex[ected, Buzz Books yet again created a fantastic source for book bloggers and reviewers alike. I love these and always look forward to them when they come out. They are so helpful and I get a sneak peek at a few upcoming novels.

This is an all in one source that provides a huge list of books being released as well as a few excerpts. I always end up adding a good handful to my already towering TBR list. Do not miss this, get your first eye glance at upcoming releases and be prepared to add more to your TBR list.

Wow. That was fun. This the first Buzz Books that I've read, and I enjoying getting a sneak peek into some of the highly anticipated upcoming YA novels. I was especially intrigured by Romanov, To Best the Boys, and Descendant of the Crane. I will be keeping my eyes out for these books, as well as a few others that caught my attention from the excerpts. Thank you Publisher's Lunch and NetGalley for putting out this valuable publication!

It is a good little sneak peek book. I just wish it gave a wider range of books coming up. It was good for the books it gave peeks too, but just wish for more books. 3 out of 5 stars.

These Buzz Books excerpts for upcoming Young Adult novels is great for me as a librarian to have an eye on what's coming up. I use this to help make recommendations and to stay informed.
