Great selections for fall and winter 2019, and I will be adding a lot of these to my TBR pile! I think I'm most excited for Children of Virtue & Vengeance, Kingdom of Souls, Queen of Nothing, and Chain of Gold!

Buzz Books for 2019 is an excellent reference for Young Adult book lovers who are interested in what's next in those YA worlds. Books I added to my TBR list include some of my favorite authors, like "The Beautiful" by Renee Ahdieh, "Children of Virtue and Vengeance" by Tomi Adeyemi (the sequel to "Children of Blood and Bone," and "The Toll" by Neal Shusterman (the final book in the Arc of the Scythe series).

I've been following Madeline Miller, who wrote "Circe," on Twitter, and she promoted Julia Drake's new novel "The Last True Poets of the Sea," one of the books excerpted in this Buzz Books issue, Drake's novel weaves the past to the present, and books that do that well are often amazing. I'm looking forward to reading that one in October.

Overall, the list and the excerpts are well worth the time, especially if you want to keep up with the upcoming YA selections, and as a teacher, I like to know what I can recommend to my students. I'll definitely keep reading the buzz sheet in the future.

What a wonderful collection of excerpts. From lush fantasy to heartwarming contemporary, I cannot wait to read all of them.

I love getting to see what is coming out ahead of time so I can look forward to exciting books. There are a few good ones in here and I had no idea Kobe Bryant was going to be a part of/writing another book. Thanks for the opportunity to get ahead.

Thanks for the fall/winter preview. I'm looking forward to the books, and some of those books have been added to my To Be Read list.

So excited for some of these to come out! I'm particularly excited to read The Last Poets of The Sea once it's out.

Love this list and I have put a lot of titles on my "to buy" list.

I love these lists as they help me to discover authors, titles and subject matters that I would not otherwise even know about.

Now, to get to buying all of these great titles.

Thanks for the great read. I enjoyed reading parts of some of the new novels coming out. It will help me guide some students in their never ending quest to read everything they can manage to obtain...

Great introduction to some new YA titles coming out! I particularly enjoyed the excerpt of Dear Haiti, Love Alaine by Maika and Maritza Moulite.

I found a few choices here I would love to read. A few of the choices were not for me. I wish there were more excerpts included.

There are so many fun releases this fall/winter season. The excerpts I read intrigued me, I'm excited to get my hands on these books.

Thank you net galley for the showcase examples of YA books to come. I would have liked even more sneak peek chapters in this but was grateful for the two that were provided.

Love these type of books because then you can see all the ones that are up and coming. I’m a huge fan of YA so these are perfect

There were only two titles in this collection that appealed to me. I enjoyed those teasers and will be watching for those books in the future. The rest of the titles were just not of personal interest.

This is a great sampler of some really cool books that are coming out later this year. I know that YA is not meant for me, but these books look really good and I'm so thankful that kids/teens are getting access to such
well-thought out and well-written books.

I am so exited for this and am looking forward to many of these titles. I can't wait to hype them up even more with my patrons.

Very helpful list of upcoming releases that I will certainly be using for requesting review copies and ordering for my library.

First time reading the YA Book Buzz excerpts. Thank you! These were interesting selections that I normally wouldn’t have tried.

My rating: 4/5

It was a tad disappointing with how few excerpts were in this buzz ARC as I’m trying to range out of my comfort zone genre wise.

The range of choices in this ARC were pretty good, though. Although I’m not typically a fan of YA, I did find one book that I did want to pick up: Julia Drake’s The Last True Poets Of The Sea. I really enjoyed her writing, as it made me feel like a teen again going through the uncomfortable “finding yourself” stage in life without glamorizing or romanticizing that awkward time. I want to read more!

This was a great way to sample a diverse number of YA books!

I didn't read the Spring/Summer edition so I don't know if it's the new norm but it felt like there were fewer extracts that previously in this edition. That said all the extracts were from books that were completely off my radar and three of them really excited me and have gone straight on my to buy list!
