There were several interesting debut novels in this sampler, inluding "The Off-Islander" Peter Colt. An added bonus was the pretty cover.

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'.
