It's a great idea to have a taster of books before choosing the ones you would like to read. I enjoyed reading the different stories and the different writing styles were more noticeable when reading other authors' extracts.
I did choose a few to read and look forward to writing my review.

In this collection, a few noteworthy titles are highlighted, samples of what is to come of new books in Fall/Winter 2024. There are 4 sections: Fiction, Debut, Non-Fiction, and Young Adult. Each section contains several very interesting titles which I cannot review all here but what follows is a miniscule sentence on a book from each section previously mentioned. Part 1-Fiction, we have Entitlement by Rumaan Alam, a novel about money and morality and Old Soul by Susan Barker, part horror, part Western, part thriller. Part 2-Debut, you’ll find the speculative novel, Sky Full of Elephants, by Cebo Campbell, about a world where white people no longer exist. In Part 3-Non-fiction, we have a memoir of a dirt-poor singer-song writer, Neko Case, The Harder I Fight the More I Love You: a Memoir. There is the story of Kari Leibowitz, How to Winter, who suffered from a circadian rhythm disorder. In Part 4-Young Adult fiction, thirteen-year-old Sylvia Doe has lived nearly her whole life as an orphan and one day discovers strange and wondrous things floating in the river, Sylvia Doe and the 100-year Flood by Robert Beatty. Lastly, Kwame Mbalia writes a magic school fantasy, Jax Freeman and the Phantom Shriek. I have not really done justice to this collection where you will find titles by authors such as Haruki Murakami, Louise Erdrich, V.C. Andrews, David Baldacci, Robin Cook, Fiona Davis, Orhan Pamuk, Deepak Chopra, Dava Sobel, and so many, many, more.

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 Old Soul by Susan Barker and Old Wounds by Logan-Ashley Kisner. Many thanks, and I look forward to future Buzz Books Compilations!

Thank you for making these available to us! I love looking through these collections for my next read.

Always helpful and appreciated! Love the book samples and great summaries! Thanks so much! Keep up the great work and keep the Buzz Books coming!

What a great idea, this gives you a taster of lots of different authors some known to me some brand new and it’s the perfect way to sample someone’s writing style and get an idea of if you want to then read the book or more from the author.
Highly recommended for everyone to have a look through, you just might find your next favourite book/author.
Thank you Net Galley

This is an excellent resource for getting to know what's coming out in the later half of the year. The excerpts are wonderful, I get excited knowing that some future favorites are coming out so soon. I love that it's easy to flip through as well.

Excellent resource for getting a sneak peak into upcoming titles . It is great getting a sample read. Looking forward to some ofcthe upcoming titles.

a great book to get some good looks into some of the new books coming! I liked how there is a description and then an excerpt from which you can tell a good amount about the book without it being to long or to foreshadowing about the whole story!

This is a great sampling of upcoming fall books. It’s laid out by genre and very easy to navigate. So many great things on the way and it’s helpful to have information about so many.

I discovered a few books I will be reading that I hadn’t heard of before. I added them to TBR.
Thanks to Netgalley and Publishers Lunch BUZZ BOOKS for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Love this compilation of new books! It's a great way to introduce yourself to new authors and titles. I like that it is broken up by genre. I enjoyed seeing these new books! Thank you netgalley for the arc!

I look forward to these publications twice a year to bring me current on the latest up and coming books arriving in the near future. Convenient links to request advanced readers copies of the books is a very nice option. I always end up with a minimum of ten new books added to my TBR list with each publication. This is a much valued publication keep it coming!!

Always a great preview of things to come and an excellent starting point for your TBR list for the year! For me, the most anticipated highlight was Jean Hanff Korelitz's follow-up to The Plot, The Sequel, and it did not disappoint! I also discovered some great literary offerings from other unexpected and unknown (to me) authors that I will now request in NetGalley. I look forward to this edition every year!

A great resource for publishing and entertainment professionals. Very excited to read these books! Special shoutout to Alli Dyer and STRANGE FOLK.

While I love that it introduces me multiple books and new authors I may not have come across otherwise, this book is lacking categories with each excerpt, and only lumps together books together by main categories (see TOC list below) that provide no insight into the genre, theme or trope.

TOC groups books by fiction, debut, non-fiction and young adult. After the TOC, is a list (without links) groups books by:
- Fiction: Notables, Highly Anticipated, Emerging
- Debut
- Commercial
- Non-fiction: Essays, Criticism and more; Biography & Memoir; Politics and Current Events; Social Issues; History & Crime; Business, Science & Technology.

Great collection of incoming books to look out for. Very well curated with so many interesting reads, especially of debut authors.

This is such a god-sent gift to readers! By providing excerpts, it helps the reader know if a particular book/ author's writing style is to their liking. The option to immediately request/wish for the book from NetGalley is the cherry on the top. Will be looking forward to Buzz Book every year.

SO Helpful! I've already read one book from this guide and it was 5 stars! And, it was a debut I'd never heard of before. I'll be using this to prepare my quarterly book preview podcast episodes.

I am extremely excited about BUZZ BOOKS, and the title could not be more fitting! For anyone who loves to stay abreast of what new books will be publishing, this is for you. If you are a picky reader who has a strong preference for a certain genre or two, the handy categorized lists - by genre- will make BUZZ BOOKS a definite hit. This is the opportunity to have - all in one place- succinct but meaningful summaries, enough sample pages to read in order to know if you want to pre-order this book for yourself or a gift, along with forthcoming publication dates and authors' names/ previous books (if not a debut.) I quickly found 2 novels that I know are not-to-be-missed books for me as well as potential book club recommendations! Then, making this publication buzz worthy in and of itself is more than just the chance to read a few pages when a book catches one's eye but also to immediately request the book from NetGalley.. I have made a note to look for the next edition Of BUZZ BOOKS in January 2025.
