I loved this sample of upcoming releases. I always enjoy them because they expose me to a lot of titles I might not have heard about otherwise. I especially appreciate the links at the end of each excerpt that allow you to request them. I think if I had one complaint it would be that there's no table of contents. It would be nice to be able to navigate the huge document. Other than that, I absolutely adore d it.
Thank you to NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for allowing me to read Buzz Books 2021: Spring/Summer.
This is the first book sampler that I have taken the time to read and I will definitely be on the lookout for the next edition. This baby is filled with summaries and excerpts of some of the most anticipated reads of the upcoming months, It even comes with a handy link at the end of each excerpt that leads you right to the spot to read or request the full book version of each sample. One of my favorite things to do is read all the lists of books that will be coming out soon so this was one of the best things to happen to me in awhile. I just wish that I hadn't just learned about it now! Enjoy, reader friends!
Good way to read a small sample of books that are coming out this year.
Great to try books before committing to reading the whole thing
Brilliant way to try new genres or authors new to you.
I always look forward to these Buzz Books seasonal releases. It's fun to see what books are coming out so I can preorder or add them to my TBR. And this one didn't disappoint! I find them to be fairly thorough and cover a lot of genres and varying interests.
These are the absolute best! I have discovered SO MANY new authors and titles because of theses packages. I also love that they're broken down into sections (ex non-fiction, debut, etc.) and provide links at the end of most stories to download the full book on Netgalley. Thank you for pulling these together for readers - and please keep them coming!
I look forward to the Buzz Books every year! What a great way of finding out about new titles I wouldn't have heard about otherwise. I always find something that I want to read and something that has a lot of buzz that just isn't for me.
How can I not love another way to find MORE books that I want to read. This is my go to book when I'm waiting somewhere but feel like reading a novel would be too distracting. It's a great way to window shop for upcoming books. Thanks to Publishers Lunch BUZZ BOOKS and NetGalley for this ARC.
Buzz Books 2021: Spring/Summer is a huge collection of excerpts from the most highly anticipated releases for the first half of 2021. I loved learning about new novels and reading samples. Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for providing this great collection.
I always look forward to the buzzbooks and this one was no exception! There was a wonderful selection of books included, from fiction to nonfiction, YA and debuts. I’m particularly excited to continue reading Libertie and 7 Days in June when they release, as I thought the excerpts included were beautiful and intriguing. Keep releasing these every season - they are fantastic!
Buzz books is consistently helpful in learning and discovering the upcoming books that I want to request/keep an eye out for/pre-order. Etc...
Wow!! This includes a lot of great book choices. The excerpts have made me excited to read the full books when they release. I plan on requesting a lot of these on NetGalley. Thank you so much to Buzz Books for providing me with excerpts from these fascinating future book releases!!
I really look forward to each issue of Buzz Books by Publishers Lunch to see what new and exciting books will be out soon. This one covers books for Spring and Summer 2021. We have a lot to look forward to!
In the beginning of this issue are lists of the tons of books that will be released this season. I was excited to see some of my favorite authors have new releases. Then select books are previewed under the headings of Fiction, Debut, Nonfiction and Young Adult. At the end of each preview is a link to request the book from NetGalley. (There are also a few galleys that are "Read Now". Yay!)
There are a few previews that really caught my attention. First was " With Teeth" by Kristen Arnett. The creepy kid the story surrounds really gave me chills! I also look forward to "The Personal Librarian" by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray. I've heard great things about Ms. Benedict. Sarah Penner's debut "The Lost Apothecary" also tops my list. There's no doubt there will be something for every taste coming out!
I received a copy of this preview issue courtesy of Publishers Lunch and NetGalley. I received no compensation for my review. All thoughts and opinions expressed are entirely my own.
This was very useful for helping me decide what to add, and what not to add, to my wish list. I’ve never bothered to download these preview compilations before, but I will in the future. I received a free copy of this book from the publisher.
I was not aware of Buzz Books until I came across it on one of my facebook feeds. This is like holy grail for booknerds!!
I was excited to see so many new books coming out from my favorite authors! I like how its separated by fiction, non fiction, highly anticpated, YA sections. Super easy to navigate and read the excerpts. I have marked many to be added to my tbr pile of request!
Thank you Netgalley!
Love reading these each season. So many great books on my to-be-read shelf. Great!!!
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.
A great way to see and get excited about upcoming books! I enjoyed reading through the excerpts and learning more about what’s to come.
I love the sneak peak preview of upcoming books. Many of the titles I had already requested. I like how you can request and even in some cases read the galleys. It's been quite awhile since I perused through a catalog so it was fun to see a few titles I was not aware, especially in fiction and memoirs.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I love this opportunity to read excerpts of new works from cutting edge authors to help determine my upcoming reading experiences. It is a privilege!
What a perfect intro to upcoming books for the Spring and Summer of 2021! With both known and unknown authors the summaries and excerpts of the books give the reader a lead-in to the book and characters that is tantalizing! I myself found several that immediately had me requesting a full galley of the book while still making a list of the others that I needed to keep my eyes open for future reading. I encourage this sneak-peak for readers who like to know what to look forward to! I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you to NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for the opportunity. #NetGalley #BuzzBooks2021SpringSummer
This is my first time downloading Buzz Books & I love it! Great to have a list of upcoming books to add to my TBR list. Appreciated getting to read excerpts from the books to get a flavor for the author and the book. Also, helps to expand my horizons by finding books I typically would not have chosen for myself!
