This is a great compilation of upcoming releases and a great way to preview works from authors with whom you may not be familiar.

I was initially drawn to it because one of my favorite authors, Tia Williams, is featured in the book. I was very excited when I found out that she was working on a new book and to read an excerpt well before the release was a pleasure. Much like her prior works, I was drawn to A Love Song for Ricki Wilde immediately and look forward to reading it in its entirety as soon as I can get my hands on it!

Flipping Boxcars was another excellent excerpt that immediately drew me in. I was not sure what to expect as this is the debut for Cedric the Entertainer but the setting and dialogue felt much like a movie.

Myisha Cherry's Failures of Forgiveness was also very interesting as it addresses our one-size-fits-all approach to how we view and give forgiveness.

There are a lot of great stories in this compilation and I am sure my TBR will grow extensively because of it.

This a great (and very extensive) collection of excerpts from upcoming fall and winter books. It’s a wonderful treat for reviewers to be able to see samples before making decisions about which books to request. Thank you, Publishers Lunch and NetGalley!

The star rating feels a bit unnecessary here because this is just a catalog, so don't focus too much on it. I am glad to have this catalog as it was very well put together and as a reviewer it is a very useful tool for preparing to request arcs and create reviews for the rest of the year.

Thank you to Publisher's lunch for making this available to me via net galley

This book contains a pretty extensive list of upcoming new releases and then first chapters of quite a few books by recognizable authors.
As a book list lover, I enjoyed perusing the fiction and nonfiction lists, and I even enjoyed the brief summaries. However, this is not the kind of book I would ever read in full. If I read the first chapter, then I'm immediately, if intrigued, going to want to keep reading. I thought the whole book would be lists with short summaries, but it is much more. I know there are many people who enjoy reading only the first chapters to see if they want to continue on, but I am not one of those people.

Buzz Books 2023: Fall/Winter is a detailed exploration of the upcoming books on Netgalley. I love that the guide goes into detail with excerpts from books however I would have liked to see more books under the non-fiction category. Perhaps self-help, spiritual, or creative for example. Overall this is a great guide for those searching for a new book.
