Some fun ones in here- I always want more from these short stories, but I guess that’s the point! Jasmines might have been my favorite but a fun summer roundup across the board.

Each of these stories was fantastic! A great collaboration of stories that work well together and have all the best tropes.

It's nice to get a preview of upcoming books. This was so helpful for choosing what to request or put on my TBR.

As always, these samplers are great for getting new titles on my radar. Not sure if they're so great for my unending TBR though lol

An excellent resource for romance fans wanting to know about upcoming reads with sample chapters.

Beware your TBR!

Romance sampler
Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to checkout this romance sampler. Like a box of chocolates we get a taste of new release and upcoming romances.
I like the fact that this includes a blurb about each book as well as a chapter or so of each book and a link to request the book from NetGalley.
Unfortunately most of these books don’t appeal to me although I appreciate the inclusion of Bipoc authors and queer literature. The few books that have already been released as of this review (11/13/24) that I have read have all been various forms of disappointment so I don’t have much hope for the other included.

Buzz Books 2024: Romance is a great way to sample some of the upcoming romance books!

I love the concept of this and appreciate that it’s organized by genre. I will say I would much prefer the link to request the arc be at the beginning of each title! It was also a slight bummer that a few more of these didn't include a read now link!

I desperately wish that all NetGalley titles came with a small sample of the first few pages that was available before requesting because it was so great to get a chance to read a bit before deciding to request! I was able to weed out a few I had on my radar thanks to this kit but also added a few to my request list as well!

Twenty-one titles with excerpts sorted by target age and categories such as Contemporary and SciFi. Excellent chance to peek into the publishing future. I am particularly looking forward to January and the release of I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I’m Trapped in a Rom-Com by Kimberly Lemming. Multiple aliens in this one. Even our heroine Dorothy would be one when she and her lion bestie Toto are dropped onto a new planet that comes complete with dinosaurs.

As always, the Buzz Books previews of upcoming titles is an excellent tool to assess what books are coming and what books I would like to request. Even if I am not able to get my hands on an ARC that is included, I find the summaries and the excerpts to be plenty for determining if I would like to pre-order books as well! This time around I enjoyed exploring some of the romance sub-genres I don't necessarily gravitate too, and got an ARC for Kristy Boyce's upcoming YA rom-com 'Dating and Dragons'!

Thanks to Netgalley and Publishers Lunch for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Always glad to have a chance to get a peak at new books before they come out. Didn’t see any I wanted to request this time, but I appreciate the opportunity. Thanks!

This is my first time checking out the Buzz book series, and I loved it, both in concept and how many new releases I'm now excited to read more of.

I'm most excited about (and immediately requested ARCs for):
- First-Time Caller
- Shomance
- Love and Lattes
- Passion Project

If you can't tell, I have a type haha

Buzz Books is an excellent way to learn about future releases. There is details about each book including a brief synopsis to help decide if it’s right for you. If a title really piques your interest, you can dive into the first chapter! A perfect opportunity for the bookish community!

A lot of amazing books on the way! Very excited to read the full version of so many of these.
Especially excited to dive into the First-Time Caller that I have the opportunity to read as well very soon.

This is a wonderful guide to upcoming book releases! The guide is well organized, making it easy to read and easy to find what you are looking for! This is an excellent resource. I added a lot of these books to my TBR!

I found the compilation of upcoming romance reads in *Buzz Books 2024: Romance* to be incredibly helpful! This edition is the most extensive yet, featuring excerpts from 21 forthcoming titles that made it easy to decide which books to add to my Goodreads.

The variety is impressive, showcasing both debut and established authors across diverse characters, relationships, and genres. It includes single and multiple POVs and highlights inclusive themes like BIPOC and LGBTQ+. Plus, I appreciate that it offers both series and stand-alone options, clearly tagging target audiences and spice levels (perfect for those steamy reads!).

The excerpts are organized by subgenres, providing a clearer understanding of each title, with categories ranging from Contemporary and Dark Romance to Rom-Com and Sci-Fi.

For fellow book lovers, you can grab your copy of *Buzz Books 2024: Romance* at buzz.publishersmarketplace.com, which also offers another version of this type of book (Buzz Books 2024: Fall/Winter) with a broader range of fiction previews.

This guide has introduced me to several exciting titles I wasn't aware of—just what I needed to expand my TBR! A big thank you to NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for this advanced copy. While the ARC is a gift, my reviews are solely based on my own opinions, and I’m under no obligation to any company or individual to post. #NetGalley #BuzzBooks2024Romance #BuzzBooks2024
