I love getting a glimpse at the upcoming titles each season, and this is a great way to add them to my TBR!

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley

This is a really comprehensive sampler of books from authors I know and love, authors I've heard of and never read, and authors I've never heard of before. It contains books for everyone with the following sections:
- Fiction
- Debut
- Non-Fiction
- Young Adult

As I went through this summary, I skipped through, focusing on authors and titles that interested me the most, but these quick excerpts are perfect for me to have anytime I have a few minutes of downtime to just take a glance at any book that sounds interesting, and get it added to my to-read list once it comes out.

Comprehensive catalog of new books being released in the next year. I enjoyed discovering the new books that will soon be available for purchase and reading.

Can not wait for all the amazing books coming out this fall/winter! I am most excited for The Winners by Fredrik Backman, Our Missing Hearts by Celeste Ng, Carrie Soto Is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid. My favorite excerpt was from The Enigma of Room 622. I can’t wait to read that one and found the cover pleasing and enticing.

I am so excited for so many of these books to release!! There were a handful that I already have on my list but I found myself adding so many more from reading summaries and excerpts. Can’t wait 😊

I LOVE The Buzz Books series from Publishers Lunch! Thank you so much for the inside scoop on what will be big in the coming season, and especially for the generous excerpts. The Buzz Books download always informs my purchasing decisions, reader’s advisory, and “TBR” list for the Pennsylvania Young Reader’s Choice Award Committee! I especially love to peruse the Buzz Books for potential crossover titles that will be popular with faculty members. This season I am especially excited to start reading Winterland by Rae Meadows, The Old Place by Bobby Finger (crunch, crunch), and The Davenports by Krystal Marquis! Many thanks, and I look forward to future Buzz Books Compilations!

This is a great guide to some of the most anticipated new releases along with some hidden gems and dazzling debuts. It is very helpful to be able to read an excerpt from each, to weed out the ones that caught your eye, but that you may not like and those who’s writing is just as good as you anticipated.

I find these Buzz books very useful for finding out about upcoming books, and for weeding out some books that I thought sounded interesting - until I read a sample. For the second time I decided to keep a record of what caught my attention so I can refer to it later.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher.

loved this kit ne NetGalley. Totally helped me find some new reads for next year. I found a few books that I loved the synopsis of and would definitely be reading them.

I look forward to each edition of Buzz Books with great anticipation! This is a brilliant way to build excitement about upcoming books by familiar authors AND introduce new authors who readers otherwise might not have learned about. The editors do a wonderful job of summarizing the books, and they include an incredibly thorough list of books coming out this fall. In this edition, I especially enjoyed The Fortunes of Jaded Women (read an ARC which was great), The Storyteller's Death, Daisy Darker, and Now is Not the Time to Panic. Huge thanks to NetGalley for providing this fantastic resource for booklovers.

A nice look ahead for what's coming in YA (that's the only real section I looked at); I found several good diverse reads.

A fantastic preview of upcoming titles for fall/winter 2022 that comes with excerpts.
I'll be adding quite a few of the novels featured in this to my already long TBR!
I wish I knew about Buzz Books before this.

If you read a lot, like me, you struggle with finding new books to read. The Buzz Books sample book gave me many new items to read, introduced me to great new authors, and was a thoroughly enjoyable experience!

This is a really cool handbook to what’s coming in the literary world. It’s helpful to read excerpts and get excited for upcoming releases.

The content is organized well and easy to skip around to what’s interesting to you.

“The day we got back from London they hired armed guards for our house because all these ex-pats over there kept telling them how dangerous Karachi is. Give me dangerous and keep your boiled cabbage, Londoners.”
From Best of Friends by Kamila Shamsie, (the author of Home Fire )

Shamsie’s book is just one of the titles that I’ll be keeping an eye out for.

At the beginning of these Publisher's Lunch samplers, they always list a lot of authors with new titles coming out but whose works aren’t promoted here. They include Kate Atkinson Elizabeth Strout, and Frederick Backman, among others.

There are four sections in the book: Fiction, Debut, Nonfiction. Young Adult. There are usually several paragraphs of description before each entry to help you decide whether to continue.

Sometimes, a page or two of the book is all I need, but now and then, I get so engrossed in a story that I feel rudely interrupted and cheated when I reach “You’ve just read an excerpt from…”

I’m sure many readers will be interested in Shamsie’s new book, quoted above, as well as The Last Chairliftby John Irving: Aspen, Colorado, skiing, unconventional family, ghosts.

One that appeals to me is The Light Pirate by Lily Brooks-Dalton: Florida, hurricane, trust-me-know-it-all husband, extremely pregnant wife.

Best-selling author Alice Feeney’s new one is Daisy Darker, about a family gathered for an 80th birthday celebration in an old house on a tidal island. While the island is cut off from the mainland, Nana is found dead, and then another person dies, and so it goes. The promotional material says:

“With a wicked wink to Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None, Daisy Darker’s unforgettable twists will leave readers reeling.”

Sound good? Then there’s Such a Pretty Girl by T. Greenwood, which sounds very contemporary, judging by this description from the promotional material.

“A controversial photo of her as a pre-teen has been found in the possession of a wealthy investor recently revealed as a pedophile and a sex trafficker—with an inscription to him from Ryan’s mother on the back.”

A debut that sounds excellent is Onyi Nwabineli's Someday, Maybe. I think the author’s background alone suggests an interesting outlook.

“ABOUT THE AUTHOR Born in Benin, Nigeria, Onyi Nwabineli grew up in Glasgow, the Isle of Man, Newcastle, and now lives in London.”

This prologue is enough to make me want to read more:

“Around the time my husband was dying, I was chipping ice from the freezer in search of the ice cube tray wedged in the back. But only because I was taking a break from filling his voice mail with recriminations about his failure to communicate his whereabouts. The memory of this along with countless other things would weave together the tapestry of blame I laid upon myself in the days and weeks after his death.

Therefore, in the spirit of continued honesty, here are three things you should know about my husband:
“ 1. He was the great love of my life despite his penchant for going incommunicado,

2. He was, as far as I and everyone else could tell, perfectly happy. Which is significant because…

3. On New Year’s Eve, he committed suicide.

And here is one thing you should know about me:

1. I found him.

Bonus fact: No. I am not okay.”

The last one I’ll mention, Windfall: The Prairie Woman Who Lost Her Way and the Great-Granddaughter Who Found Her by Erika Bolstad is a nonfiction that deals with an interesting contemporary issue - Who owns what? This is from the publisher’s promotion, not an excerpt from the book.

“Author Erika Bolstad was shocked to learn she had inherited mineral rights in North Dakota in the throes of an oil bonanza.
. . .
Windfall is a fascinating cultural examination that explores the entitled mentality that has long defined white settlers in the American West and its consequences on the landscape and its original inhabitants. Told in dual narratives, the story of a remarkable historical woman with the modern-day journey of her great-granddaughter seeking to uncover her family’s history. In addition, timely themes related to environmentalism and climate change driven by the oil business are at the center of this story.”

These free sampler books are always good value. You don’t have to be a NetGalley reviewer or run a blog or anything to download them from Publisher’s Lunch.

I did get mine from NetGalley, so thanks to them and to Publisher’s Lunch for these books. There are separate samplers for Romance and other genres. Go forth and enjoy!

Brilliant catalogue for upcoming books. I’ve managed to compile a huge list to add to my already never ending TBR!

Hello Buzz Books, my favorite old friend! Of course, you are now providing new excerpts to new books that will be published in the fall and winter. I am just going to say this first. I was so excited to see Alice Feeney on the cover, and before I read the Introduction or the Publishing Preview, I went right to Daisy Darker. BTW, it was amazing and I would most likely donate more blood than usual to my local drive to get my hands on a copy.

Okay, back to the book. There were so many outstanding choices, and I am just going to mention a few( besides Daisy) that went to the top of my list. Such A Pretty Girl, The Deluge, The Lost Girls of Willowbrook, and The Old Place. I know quite a few readers who don't like to read excerpts, and if that is you, it is still worth having just for the titles, publisher details, and oh yeah, some of them contain a direct link to request on NetGalley. Win-win in my opinion. I hope these books publish forever!

Another great collection of upcoming titles! I love getting a look at all the buzzed about new releases in one place and I always find some great books that are just up my alley and this edition wasn't any different. Thanks for continuing to publish these previews!

Such an exciting preview of the new titles coming towards the end of the year. I am loving the length of the excerpts and I am making a list to add to my TBR. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves to read. Thanks to NetGalley for the advanced copy.

Amazing collection of Fall/Winter books. Some were already on my radar and downloaded and I found a few new ones to add to my already huge TBR list. I'll be sure to review future Buzz Books collections. I am so annoyed at myself that I hadn't check these out in the past.
