I loved this way of getting to see what's coming up and a better idea of what I want to read the full galley of

I see that the Fall/Winter edition of Buzz Books 2022 is now available on Netgalley so I thought I'd better take another look at the Spring/Summer edition. I've added a few of the books that were featured, but I really feel like my "To Reads" are already out of control so tried not to go overboard. I'm almost afraid to look at the Fall/Winter version! It seems that compiling these digests must be a lot of work so many thanks to Netgalley and Publishers Lunch for compiling all these titles for readers.

This was a great preview of several upcoming books! A few I've already read or started reading, and many more I added to my TBR or will remember to share with library patrons!

What a wonderful resource for a book addict. I love how this little gem is organised into categories and getting to read excerpts from soon-to-be-released books is so exciting!I Often you purchase books based on other people's opinions which always has the risk of not being likeable. This book enables you to sample and thus enable you to request wisely with more guaranteed success. It even has links directly to NetGalley so that you can put in your request to receive the ARC.

I have requested a few books : Nora Goes Off Script, This time tomorrow and Iona Iversion's Rules for Commuting!
Very tempted to add a lot more to my TBR. Thank you so much for this wonderful little book!

Awesome anthology with a great selection of diverse authors. One of the best samplers I’ve received for reviewing!

Really enjoyed this, no complaints or critiques!

5/5

There are some interesting excerpts here, but there are so many that it's rather overwhelming, and a great many are in genres that I am not particularly interested in, to the point that it was difficult to remember which novels I want to look for. For those who enjoy this type of compilation, it's very well done; it's simply not how I prefer to find new books to read.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This Buzz Books sampler is a very large selection of sneak peeks of the upcoming releases and it's a great bunch of books to read some of and add to your reading list. After reading this, I found myself adding quite a few books to my list and requesting a few. This is a very thorough and good choice to help plan what books to read and find out about new books and authors. Thanks so much to NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for letting me read and review this sampler. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was super helpful for me to see spring releases and to plan out my bookstagram content for the season! Thanks!

Not sure exactly how to review this, but the Buzz Books from Publisher's Lunch was a great way to get a bead on books I was most interested in going into spring and summer. I have gotten more selective about what ARCs I request and these previews let me hone in on the books I was most excited for (and cut down on things being sent to me that I'm less likely to pick up). I didn't read every preview--some I knew weren't for me off the bat--but did peruse a mix of those from authors whose books I was already excited for (Sloane Crosley, Karen Joy Fowler, Jasmine Guillory) and forthcoming books from new or new-to-me authors (Emma Straub, Elaine Hsieh Chou, Sopan Deb).

Great review of upcoming books in the spring and summer, enjoyed seeing the nonfiction selections. I can't wait for the Fall/Winter issue.

I always find plenty of books to add to my TBR in this guide. This is going to be an exciting spring and summer for new releases.

This is a list of upcoming releases for the spring and summer of 2022 with excerpts of most contributions, divided up by genre. I appreciate getting to read a little clip of these books and am looking forward to reading many of them later this year. *Thanks to NetGalley and Publishers Launch for providing this wonderful resource!

Buzz Books is divided into sections to easily navigate: Fiction, Debuts, Non-Fiction, Young Adult

I also loved that each book included an excerpt (in addition to a synopsis and other title info), perfect to grow accustomed to upcoming releases

I very much enjoyed this sampler. It has taken me a while to get through but there are many titles that I have already had the pleasure of reading including, Remarkably Bright Creatures which was wonderful. I will absolutely be requesting more of these titles.

I don't really write a review on the Buzz Books as I'm not sure that it is for purchase???

Thank you for giving me a taste of the great books ahead!!

I love these Buzz Books! I love how the upcoming books are provided both in an index form so you can find your favorite authors and in a preview form. Each book preview included a description of the upcoming book, a brief preview, a sample of the book and then the marketing plans that include publishing dates.

If you are looking for ARC's or just looking for the upcoming new releases, this is the book for you.

Always a big fan of these Buzz Books! Such a great way to read about what is coming soon. Looks like I will have a busy Spring/Summer!

This is a great compilation of all the books to look forward to this season. It's well-organized by genre and full descriptions make it easy to decide which books to add to your reading list. I definitely appreciate this resource and will refer to it often. Looking forward to future editions, as well.

A nice compilation of new authors to explore. I hope to enjoy some of the books described in this collection.

Such a great way to get a taste of the buzzy new reads! If I’m not reading, I’m reading about reading and this was a perfect text to fuel my excitement for upcoming books. I wrote down lots of upcoming titles that I can’t wait to check out and the blurbs convinced me to try some reads that I wouldn’t normally pick up.

Surely it is hard to rate this selection.
I mean we have to rate selection, which Is 4 stars for me, some are pretty exciting, and some of these works present themselves as mediocre at best.
