A good mix of excerpts from new books to tempt readers in a variety of genres. Helps you choose your next reads.
I love these book samplers as they are a great way to get a taster of a book prior to even requesting it on Netgalley.

A Cosmology of Monsters: A Novel by Shaun Hamill
The Vanished Birds: A Novel by Simon Jiminez
The Better Liar: A Novel by Tanen Jones
All That's Bright and Gone: A Novel by Eliza Nellums
The Secrets We Kept: A Novel by Lara Prescott
What Red Was: A Novel by Rosie Price - I have already read, and reviewed https://jeanzbookreadnreview.blogspot.com/2019/05/review-what-red-was-by-rosie-price.html
On Swift Horses: A Novel by Shannon Pufahl
Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid
There wasn't really anything else that I really wanted to read more of from this sampler
There were several interesting debut novels in this sampler, inluding "The Off-Islander" Peter Colt. An added bonus was the pretty cover.
Meh. I didn't find anything in this collection that really excited my reader's genes but it wad nice to preview what is upcoming.
These appetizers left me longing for the main courses. I’m especially looking forward to What a Fun Age. Thank you to the publisher for sharing.
What an excellent way to sample debut authors.
I am eager to request the following titles for the Baltimore County Public Library and the Enoch Pratt Free Library to add to their collections:
- A Cosmology of Monsters by Shaun Hamill
- The Better Liar: A Novel by Tanen Jones
- The Secrets We Kept by Lara Prescott
What a terrific way to get a flavor for these new releases! Thanks so much for the opportunity to read a sample of some of these titles. A great way to choose what to read and review!
I love the samplers. This Debut Fiction Sampler was a true pleasure. There are some real goodies in there. I was able to read just enough to be eager to read more of some of these books. I'm truly looking forward to How Quickly She Disappears, The Better Liar, The Secrets We Kept and Such a Fun Age. I'm also intrigued by A Cosmology of Monster and may have to check that one out as well!
Thank you to NetGalley for this sampler.
I love finding new books and thanks to this sampler, my TBR is a bit bigger. I think the book I'm most looking forward to here is How Quickly She Disappears, but there's a lot to be read here.
A wonderful selection in this Debut Fiction Sampler. In being able to read a chapter or two of forthcoming releases are a great way to know more about a book before buying. There are several that i would be interested in, especially 'How Quickly She Disappears'.
I always love reading samples of upcoming releases! There’s a pretty good selection here and I’m looking forward to more from a few of these.
I love samplers, as always! Thanks for putting this together and I look forward to finding out more about upcoming titles.
