I was excited to read this collection but found the selection a little less exciting than in previous months and was also disappointed that it wasn't possible to instantly read either the entire novel or a longer excerpt for those I was interested in reading. I found last time around this really helped to build up the buzz around those titles

The collection of excerpts is a great mix of YA genres, and some subgenres I didn’t know of! I’m most excited for “coral”. I always enjoying reading these excerpts to know which books that are coming out that I may or may not enjoy.

Some interesting books here! Most weren’t my cup of tea but I really enjoyed the first and last extracts (by Julia Drake and Alex Wheatle).

An excellent collection of YA Fall/Winter 2019 books! I've been excited for a lot of these releases, but this sampler got me interested in some of the backlist books as well such as Dear Haiti, Love Alaine and The Last True Poets of the Sea.

Great selection of excerpts, perfect for planning on additions to the teen library. I'm especially appreciative of the variety, with mermaids and Haitian culture standing out in particular.

Great selection of upcoming titles! I already have an ARC for Scars Like Wings, but I've been hearing a bit about Coral and was excited to check it out. Last True Poets wasn't on my radar, though, but it certainly is now. Thanks--this sampler is so useful for planning blogging and reviews.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me a digital copy of this book. I wasn’t interested in any of the books except “Coral” by Sara Ella. I am a sucker for a book about mermaids and sirens. This book is very well written and I enjoyed the bit I read. I will probably be purchasing this book for the library.

This collection wasn't really for me. The only standout sample for me was "Dear Haiti, Love Alaine" and "Scars Like Wings." Those are titles that had great samples and I will recommend those for my library to purchase. The other selections didn't speak to me or made me interested to read them when they release. But I still love checking out these samplers and will continue to recommend people to try them on here.

I love browsing through Buzz Books.

Here are a few I'm looking forward to from this edition:

Dear Haiti, Love Alaine by Maika Moulite and Maritza Moulite

Home Girl by Alex Wheatle

Throw Like a Girl by Sarah Henning

Love having these digests available! There are always so many releases to keep track of that this helps provide a coherent list to remind me of what I'm looking out for next. My to-read list has a few new additions to it.

Only A Few Selections

I remember past editions of these Buzz Books being loaded with excerpts. This one has only eight, and the Kindle version I got had no Table of Contents, much less an active Table.

So, here's what you get: "Legacy of the Queen" is a tennis based magic/fantasy tale. "Last True Poets of the Sea" is a depressed teenage girl. "Coral" is a mermaid out of water story. "I'm Not Dying With You Tonight" is black/white urban conflict. "Dear Haiti, Love Alaine" is a Haiti school project essay story. "Harvey Comes Home" is a whimsical dog tale. "Scars Like Wings" is a teen girl with extensive burn scars. "Home Girl" is a tough teen girl in the foster care system.

I have no idea how any of these will do as full length novels. The excerpts didn't get me jazzed about any of them. But, these are all buzzy books that keep coming up, so this is certainly a convenient way to get a good, long first look at them.

(Please note that I received a free ecopy of this book without a review requirement, or any influence regarding review content should I choose to post a review. Apart from that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.)

not my favorite edition...none of the books seemed to spark my interest, it was also very hort compared to the ones I read before. I usually end up selecting a few of the books in bookbuzz...but none this time..

Always great. Love to check out what is upcoming.

Thanks to 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.

I love this book. A great way to find new releases and get ahead of the game when it comes to knowing what's popular. I think it's a great way to get into different genres and read books I wouldn't normally read.

A bunch of amazing books in this one - my TBR is growing like crazy!

Thank you again for giving an opportunity to get a closer look at some of the hottest titles coming soon!

Yet another great compilation of books to look forward to this year! I added almost all of them to my TBR and my release calendar. Thank you for the sneak peek! I will be sharing these with my followers and students!

I'm so excited for these books to come out! I'm so looking forward to them. My wallet won't appreciate them but I cannot wait for many of these to be released.

Always love these seasonal preview collections. Helps to determine what titles make the TBR list. Looks like Fall and Winter 2019 is going to be spectacular for reads.

I highly recommend this sampler to anyone! It’s a great way to check out upcoming titles and see which ones appeal to you. I only read the occasional YA book and there were a few titles I would have missed out on if I had only gone by the description. The writing was so well done they had me hooked on books I would have skipped because I didn’t think they would interest me. It’s a great way too check out new authors.
