I am always a huge fan of these preview compilations! I love to see what's new in the coming months, & I love the spotlight section on debut authors. I always find really exciting new reads this way. The curation is excellent.
Always enjoy these compilations to give me many ideas of what's coming. Thanks for allowing me to review.
Great way of finding out what comes out in the Fall/Winter of 2024. I try to get each one of these every time they are made available on NetGalley.
Buzz Books is terrific! A thorough review of the upcoming publications puts books on my radar that might disappear in the noise of new announcements. I particularly appreciate the advance notice of emerging and debut voices. Although the books don't always grab my attention, they are always worth noting and considering for my ever growing Read Soon and Recommend piles.
Once again, I loved the opportunity to preview so many great titles coming out this winter. The ones I was most interested in were, Rental House by Weike Wang and Penitence by Kristin Koval, which was a stunning debut novel.
Thank you, NetGalley, for the opportunity to preview so many titles in one publication so that I can decide which ones to pursue!
I always appreciate these Buzz Books Samplers - they give me a great way to taste some upcoming releases, without the time commitment of reading a whole book!
I always appreciate these previews, which I check out regularly every season - they help me stay informed about upcoming books, especially those which I may want to select for review. Thanks for offering them!
We all know that this is not actually a book but a list of titles that are going to be coming out or have already come out. It helps to know what are the books that are going to be popular or that we suspect are going to be popular as the library wants to make sure that we have enough copies of books to provide to the public.
I understand how frustrating it can be to read small sections and ultimately feel overwhelmed, leading to giving up on a book midway. This format is not for me.
This was a nice guide to what will be available. I did not know that there would be a review for this catalog so I apologize if this is vague.
Thank you Publishers Lunch and NetGalley.
I'd like how you're giving different ideas on these books and then you can download it if you wanted to read it more This thing because you get to see the r The writers before you download a book. There's some really good ones coming out. I like you also You include young adults because it's so important for them to read. Their books are very interesting because they have a different way of looking at life. I like the title too. Because it's like they're getting excited. To make you want to read these books
a good sampling of what was coming out soon. I like these samplers so I know what releases to keep my eye on.
I don't usually get these books from NetGalley because they tend to blow up my to-read pile, and yes, this was no exception. I was happy to see so many terrific books on the horizon—some out now, others into the new year. I am looking forward to some new Fiction, especially Entitlement, A Reason to See You Again, The Fabled Earth, Tartufo, Homeseeking, The Sequel, Harlem Rhapsody, This is a Love Story, Rental House, and Every Moment Since, among others. (and this is just the fiction section, you can see why this is a problem for my budget and my toppling piles :) I added The Resurrectionist, The Teller of Small Fortunes, The Stone Witch of Florence, and The UnderCurrent from Debuts, and The Harder I Fight, the More I Love from Non-Fiction.
Honestly, writing this out like this just reminds me how books like these do all they can to hinder me from chipping away at my to-read list. :)
Happy New Year, folks, 2025 is looking promising, for readers, at least.
Another good sampler of upcoming titles. Always helpful and useful! I look forward to when these come out and getting familiar with titles for the upcoming season.
As always this collection of books is full of tempting previews. Recommend for introductions to new authors. Thanks for the opportunity to read it NetGalley!
This is a good resource for anyone who is in charge of making book group selections and would like a preview of potential picks.
For the chosen titles, descriptions and sample pages are generous. Will look forward to the next Buzz Books!
Thank you so much to Publishers Lunch, the authors featured in this guide, and NetGalley for the opportunity to take a look at Buzz Books 2024: Fall/Winter. This collection is awesome! This guide has a list and exerpts from new books in all kinds of genres being released, as well as the covers of the books and links to read/request the galley from NetGalley. This is super helpful to discover new books and be able to see if those books and the writing style interests you. Sometimes, a summary is not quite enough to decide whether a book will be for you. If you are a bit indecisive or want to be particular with your time and energy when it comes to discovering new reads, this guide is a great way to test out books to find the ones you'd like to request or later purchase. I've already found a few books that I would like to request and I'm sure the more time I spend with this guide, my TBR will grow even further. Thank you again!
Always love to see these samplers because I'm pretty deep into my own niche, so there's always tons of titles I wouldn't have heard of otherwise!
As always, a great collection is coming in this fall.
I have always loved these previews and excerpts that help us decide which books to read/review/request.
Tartufo sounds interesting, The Book of George sounds fun, and Shred Sisters had one of the strongest openings I've ever read!
Brightly Shining seems like a heartwarming Christmas read too. Rental House gave me Wellness vibes.
Among the debuts,
Libby Lost and found has the most compelling plot. I have been seeing a lot of I'll get Back to You over my bookstagram.
