I love these Buzz Books and I always read them each season. I can usually get at least three or four new requests from the excerpts. This time I only got two but still adored the excerpts of each book.

This is a really clever idea and I look forward to reading these sample books. Ebook samples is an excellent way to have a taster of books you might like before committing to buying them. The beauty of the Buzz Books samplers is that these are books you may never ever come across. I’ve heard of some of the authors but 95% are new to me.

The non fiction includes an excellent opener about winter and, reading it during a summer heatwave, it still made me feel the snow and the biting wind. The Marie Curie biography is well worth reading, but no surprise given it’s written by Dava Sobel. There is fiction by debutant authors as well as more established writers and the joy is discovering something you’d never know to pick up but that instantly hooks you.

Certainly reading these compilations always adds a few books to my TBR pile.

I was given a copy of this book by NetGalley

Buzz Books 2024: Fall/Winter edition serves as a great resource for books. This was my first time reading it but definitely won't be my last.

Another great list of books to tempt me! After choosing no fewer than fourteen to read, i requested, so far, three, trying to keep in mind that my list is very long already, Reading the buzz books summaries makes me excited for literature... so many wonderful books to choose from. I truly appreciate the summaries and book comps as I'd like to get ahead of my book club recommendations for the year, and our rule is that books must be read by the person recommending before they bring it to the club. Very excited about Anna Montague, as the book club loved Shelby Van Pelts Remarkably Bright Creatures. I suspect they will love all 14 of the ones I've flagged.
Thank you NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for this great service.

This is the 25th installment highlighting about 50 titles that publisher relict will generate a lot of buzz. It features fiction, debut titles, nonfiction, and young adult. Each has a summary and an excerpt. This is an invaluable tool for librarians and book reviewers to sample titles without committing to downloading the full book and risk having the burden to finish it.

Excellent resource for this public librarian to see upcoming books at a glance for the fall and winter season. I especially appreciate being able to read a snippet of each book to see if this is something that would be a suitable purchase for our patron base. Thank you for including nonfiction!

I always look forward to Buzz Books every season and can't wait to see what's in store for the Fall/Winter season this year!

Another interesting selection of books to read excerpts from. Great way of deciding if you'd really like to read the advanced reader copy. Especially useful if it's an author new to you and you're not sure if you will like their writing style.
Definitely helps to prevent requesting books you may not end up reading after the first few pages.

The Buzz Books for Fall/Winter of 2024 are not helping my TBR list. I want to read at least 90% of them! I am probably most excited about the new Fiona Davis novel!

Thank you for this compilation of upcoming releases.

Buzz Books is an invaluable resource for all bibliophiles trying to keep abreast of upcoming titles. By highlighting the most talented, exciting and diverse debut authors, it is possible to more effectively focus on titles that are most likely to be sought after. Both the comprehensive and the more select excerpts are helpful for everyone interested in the world of reading and publishing.,

Thank you for Netgalley and to Publishers Lunch for the ARC in exchange for this review.

Great sampler of upcoming titles. I thoroughly enjoyed the selections and will be requesting some for future review, as well as a few to purchase just for myself. Thanks for doing these!
