I work as a book reviewer and contribute to a major news outlet, and have found the Buzz Books 2022 Spring/Summer catalogue to be an invaluable resource, and one that I will continue to refer back to again and again over the coming months as I put my columns and articles together.

I'm still in awe of how much attention to detail and how many excerpts are included in the catalogue. I'm not sure if this has been available for prior seasons, but it's my first time accessing, and it's just incredible.

If I had an very large TBR pile before gaining access to this fantastic resource, then you should see it now. I have enough books to keep me going for the next two years at least, and to think this is just Spring/Summer. It amazes me.

I've also found this to be an inspirational asset for pitching themed articles to publications, so I'm thankful for that, since it'll help me with getting more work published.

I'm incredibly grateful to Publishers Lunch and NetGalley for access.

I always enjoy Buzz Books. Thanks you, Net Galley, for giving a sneak peak of what is to come! I’m looking forward to this next season of books.

This is the fourth time in a row where I have the opportunity to read through the Buzz Books catalogues and it did not disappoint!

I found a lot of books I would like to read, some by author I have never heard of and a few by well known ones. I am especially intrigued by the following:
All my rage by Sabaa Tahir
Finding Jupiter by Kelis Rowe
Horse by Geraldine Brooks
Booth by Karen Joy Fowler
The Last White Man by Mohsin Hamid
Ordinary Monsters by J.M. Miro

And the one that I am most excited about (and hope to be approved for) is
Take my Hand by Dolen Perkins Valdez

Thank you again for this opportunity.
I am already looking forward to Buzz Books next installment.

This is the first time I have had access to Buzz Books and I feel like I hit the book lottery.! I enjoyed the reading the summaries almost as much as I will enjoy the books themselves. I have my TBR list for the next few months.

I look forward to the Buzz Books every year, and 2022's seems to have somehow gotten even larger, even more full of tantalising snippets of the best of the upcoming titles of the spring and summer of the year.

I love these books! It's always so much fun to get to read sample chapters of upcoming titles, and I always find myself requesting books I either hadn't heard of or maybe wasn't won over by the summary. Getting a chance to meet the characters and get a feel for the writing makes a huge difference.

I always enjoy the Buzz Books previews as they expose me to upcoming books and often help me identify want to reads that I might have missed. This season is no different with lots of fascinating offerings.

Thank you for the opportunity to look into so many upcoming fiction and nonfiction titles! This sampler has definitely helped me cultivate my TBR, something I've been doing this past weekend. Thanks!

I wasn't aware this collection of book samples required a review. I don’t plan to read it all, only the ones that interest me and it’s not really fair to rate/review a book based on a sample.

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Within the next few months alot of new books will be released and I cant wait tovread them. This book gave a great summary into what will be released in the coming months.

Buzz Books' upcoming publication overviews are excellent for planning book club reads, discovering new authors and making sure that I don't miss new publications by my favourite authors. Many thanks to NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for this ARC.

I always appreciate the seasonal Buzz Book previews since they give me the chance to examine upcoming books, decide which ones to read and request for review, and choose which books I may want to purchase for the library collection. Please keep them coming!

Thanks to Publishers Lunch for the 2022 Spring/Summer Buzz Books. I love getting to read excerpts from soon-to-be-released books. I found several new ones that I want to read. There was also one book that I thought I would love and realized it wasn't for me after reading the first few paragraphs.

There is a convenient link at the end of the book that takes you directly to NetGalley to request the book.

This book is a bit overwhelming! It’s like a Willy Wonka Candy Shop for reading nerds! I’m a fan of fiction but this list of what’s to come got me excited for even some of the nonfiction.
I’ve already started a list and begin to clear my calendar to make space for more reading time.

These seasonal pre-release summaries are great, they always give me a great idea of what to look forward in the new releases. I like them best when they are segmented by genre though because it makes it easier to review my interests. I like the sneak peaks too.
