There are so many books coming out each year that it's impossible to keep track of them all. As always, I very much appreciate these kinds of resources that offer an overlook at all the books from a certain time period, allowing readers to discover books that might have otherwise escaped our notice! I also appreciate the excerpts include for some books, which give an even more in-depth look into their potential.
The latest Buzz Books is a valuable tool to librarians. Reading the lists and excerpts helps me select titles to purchase for my library's collection, giving me a clearer sense of what new titles our patrons will want to read. Thank you for this service!
I love these Buzz Books preview compilations. This one was particularly good. I bought several books from the non-fiction section alone. It took me months to finish up the sampler so some great books I already read were featured, such as Dava Shastri’s Last Day and My Sweet Girl. Highly recommend picking up the next edition coming soon.
This selection of new titles led me to two of my top five books this year, Claire Keegan's Small Things Like These and Ruth Ozeki's The Book of Form and Emptiness, so thank you!
I love BuzzBooks, it's the perfect way to keep abreast of much anticipated upcoming titles! I love finding out about exciting new books that are coming out and adding them to my never ending pile of "to be read' books!
Great guide to new books coming out on Netgalley, with some of the books and authors highlighted.
I received a free copy of this book via Netgalley. My review is voluntary.
Helpful guide to books launching in the season. Really, really appreciated the non-fiction lists especially. Will look for this resource for future seasons.
First introduced for the 2012 Book Expo America, the FREE digital Publishers Lunch Buzz Books has become the place for both industry professionals and book lovers in general to discover and read about the books expected to spark high demand BEFORE they are published!
Included in this volume are "the most newsworthy literary, commercial, and breakout titles for adults, separated into four key categories: Fiction; Young Adult; Debut and Nonfiction. With so many choices on the market, this book helps you pick your next read!
Thanks to Netgalley and Publishers Lunch for providing me with a copy of this publication listing new books being released in the fall and winter of 2021. I skimmed the titles and read a few excerpts but only added one to my TBR. I think it was just a little overwhelming on top of the other books that were being released in the months after I got this but it certainly seems that it could be helpful. I'll be on the watch for the 2022 Spring/Summer issue and hopefully will have more time to peruse it in depth.
This was helpful to pick out books for 2021! Enjoyed seeing what was coming up for fall and winter 2021.
Interesting preview of some books I'd like to read. I'm not sure I'd request another one of these - it filled up my TBR list to an impossible number! But this was a nice look at some of the exciting books releasing currently!
Love these. I didn't find anything I had to immediately get, but I did add to my ever-growing TBR pile
These books are dangerous for me. I always end up adding way too many books to my TBR list and requesting books I don’t have time to read. This compilation of books releasing in Fall/Winter 2021 is divided into four groups: fiction, debut, non-fiction, and young adult. Drawn from multiple publishers, the entries include the cover, synopsis, excerpt, author bio, and marketing plans. The collection of books included highlights the publishing world’s attempts to improve diversity, which is very welcome. There are lots of good books coming out this season. #netgalley
An interesting read to see the most popular books coming out in the fall and winter of 2021. The Buzz Books editions are an excellent resource for librarians when it comes to ordering books for libraries. The book helps navigate through the numerous titles being released and identifies those that are anticipated to be the most popular.
I usually absolutely LOVE these book samplers of what will be released in the coming seasons! However, this one ... NO! I'm sorry, but book publishers need to get more in touch with what readers want ... especially now, after dealing with Covid and so much instability in life. Readers use books as an escape. Thus, when half the books in your sampler are in there because they make some "statement," it is obvious how out of touch the publishers are. Of the 48 or so books in this sampler, I only found 4 that I would be interested in actually reading. Stop trying to shove causes and issues down the readers throats and give us books that are what we want - an escape from life; from reality; from the ordinary nonsense!

This is my first time reading something like this, a catalogue for upcoming books - what an amazing idea! Absolutely loved all the previews and have added a few to my wishlist! Many thanks to Netgalley and Buzz Books for this sampler.
Thank you Publishers Lunch for releasing samples of new and upcoming releases. My TBR list grows considerably after every publication..
I LOVE Buzz Books!!
I was already excited about upcoming book releases. However, after reading the 2021: Fall/Winter issue, I've added even more books to my list of must read books! Winter is long here and it looks like I will have plenty of books to curl up with.
Every season Buzz Books helps me choose my upcoming books. Their very helpful to readers and reviewers.
These are always exciting to look through and this edition is filled with upcoming releases I can't wait to read! There are so many wonderful authors included here, in addition to a few that are new to me but that look excellent.
Many thanks to Netgalley and Buzz Books for this look at the upcoming titles.
