Very informative for Book lovers. Some of the books I was already anticipating and were new to me. Already made a list to add to my TBR. I'm glad to get this preview on new releases. Wonderful, extensive publication.

Reading Buzz Books gave me insight into new books coming out soon. It was great to get to read a few pages from each book just to get a hint of the writing style of each author. Now I have a list of books on NetGalley to request in the future. Thanks so much for putting this together and sharing so we can look forward to future books.

This guide is a helpful overview of potential purchases for our library. We will not be purchasing this book but it does inform us, which I think is the point.

Thank you to Publisher's Lunch for a thrilling preview of upcoming books! The excerpts were phenomenal. I am looking forward to several titles - especially The Librarianist by Patrick Dewitt.

Always love when a new Buzz Books is released! It gives me something to look forward to as a reader, and the chance to read extracts earlier gives a taste for the authors writing style - particularly helpful when it comes to debut writers.

Thank you to netgalley and Publishers Lunch for a chance to read this catalogue of upcoming books!

As always this helps me pick books that I want to read for the new year. I always search out the Buzz books for those I may not have come across otherwise.

This is the first time I have seen this type of collection and I am really enjoying it. The lists of forthcoming books were so interesting to review and I have added quite a few upcoming titles to my notes for future reading. Thank you for releasing this compendium.

I always look forward to when a new Buzz Book is available. There are excerpts of upcoming books to discover not only new debut writers, but some familiar favorite authors that are coming out with new books as well.

I always enjoy the Buzz Books sampler to get a feel of new releases. This one was once again very enjoyable. There are a number of books I plan to read. I especially look forward to reading "The great reclamation" by Rachel Heng.

I always look forward to Buzz Books coming out! It's a great resource for anyone who wants to know what books are on the horizon.

Buzz Books offers a list of soon-to-be-published titles along with their authors, publishers, and planned publication dates. (I love looking up those whose titles catch my eye -- and learning of new books from familiar authors!) There also are excerpts from forthcoming books; these are categorized into fiction, debut, nonfiction, and young adult. (There is a linked table of contents, so one can go directly to a particular excerpt without needing to page through.)

There are so many books I'm excited about this spring/summer, I can't even list them all here. But, I'm grateful to Buzz Books specifically for putting several of them on my radar!

Buzz Books is available free from any major e-bookstore.

Always look forward to reading this publication. In a world with so many choices, thank you #NetGalley for narrowing down what might likely be appealing to me. I’ve put many on my request list already!

A fun sampler but I couldn't use it for teaching--too fragmented and the pieces were too brief. Nonetheless it was enjoyable to read.,

Thank you to NetGalley for this advance copy of BuzzBooks 2023 Spring/ Summer23 in exchange for a honest review.I really liked this ok which had a list of the most anticipated books of this spring and summer.Each book is listed by genre then each book listed has the picture of the book and a chapter excerpt. It is perfect for bibliophiles like me who are looking for their next book.

Thank you to Net Galley for providing Buzz Books 2023 Spring/Summer

I opened The Buzz Books Spring/Summer edition as soon as it arrived on my Kindle. I appreciate the breakdown of books, particularly The Notables as bookstore patrons are always asking when "such and such" a book is coming out or when a favorite author will have a new book published.

The excerpts of emerging/new writers are also of great value. I have already read two excerpts and requested two galleys from Net Galley.

Thank you again for making is possible for me to meet the needs of the reading public.

Wow! What a great resource. It’s exciting to get an eye into all that’s coming out and be able to read excerpts. At the same time it’s almost depressing that I know I won’t have time to read all the wonderful books out there. If only there were 100 more hours a day I could spend reading! Highly recommend this read to all.
