love this series - The Buzz books! It's great, it gives you a bunch of intros/first first chapters of a bunch of new releases! It's a great way to have a list of new releases to get excited about and it lets you start the stories and get excited!

I loved so many of these stories! I'm really excited to read:

Heart of the Sun - I love that it's set in the midst of an apocalyptic event - a massive solar flare!
First-Time Caller had a cozy and sweet vibe, and says it's inspired by Sleepless in Seattle!
Dating and Dragons - is just too sweet and cute and I'm so here for this!
and While We're Young had me at "inspried by Ferris Bueller's Day off" - so cute!
and OMG Sneak Peek for The Nightmare Before Kissmas will be the perfect Holiday read! I can't wait!

I'm so sad I've been missing Kimberly Lemming and I want to catch up before I tackled the newest read (I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I'm Trapped in a Rom-Com) but, honestly, these have the BEST titles!

I'm so excited for these!

I always find Buzz Books incredibly useful for finding out what is coming up and whether I might like a particular book. This issue was especially useful because it separated out the upcoming releases by sub genres.

I love checking out upcoming titles to recommend and add to my TBR. I usually don't read romance, but I found a few books that caught my interest."

I LOVE The Buzz Books series from Publishers Lunch! Thank you so much for the inside scoop on what will be big in the world of romance during 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 Flirting by Jasmine Guillory and Midnights with You by Clare Osongco! Many thanks, and I look forward to future Buzz Books Compilations!

This is a must have reference for folks who recommend romance reads or for those who love the genre and want to explore beyond their comfort zone. Publisher’s Lunch has produced a thorough and buzzworthy guide.

This sort of compilation was new to me.

I enjoyed this sneak peek of upcoming books. Here are a few I look forward to reading:

1. Promises & Pomegranates by Sav R. Miller -- Dark romance isn't my thing, but in an attempt to expand my reading boundaries, this is on my list.

2. My Funny Demon Valentine by Aurora Ascher -- Paranormal RomCom? Yes, please. Great description and great excerpt. I'll absolutely read this.

3. Hazardous to a Duke's Heart by Sabrina Jeffries -- I love historicals. Loved the description.

4. Showmance by Chad Beguelin -- Theater. Take my money.

5. First-Time Caller by B.K. Borison -- Loved the first chapter: the setting, the writing

6. Passion Project by London Sperry -- Intriguing excerpts. I want Bennet to find her passion.

An ARC is a gift, but views and reviews are subjective. Thank you @NetGalley for providing an ARC edition. These are my thoughts and impressions and I'm under no obligation to any company or individual.

This was a very interesting set of books! I think I will definitely be exploring further into quite a few of them!

What a great idea.
I’m not normally a romance reader so this is perfect for me as I could go through and read the samples to see if anything grabbed my attention and having the link to request the titles immediately is a great addition, also the titles being split into genre is such a great idea and it made it so easy to know what type of book it is e.g Contemporary, Romantasy, Sport .
Thank you Net Galley.

I love having a sneak peek of what is to come! I always look forward to the Buzz Book previews. It’s exciting to see what beloved authors have coming as well as new to me authors.

Thank you NetGalley for putting together the Buzz Books for us! I wouldn't know what to keep an eye out for without this! I look reading the samples for each book and this time having the link to request the titles immediately was super awesome!

Super excited for the books coming out this year (but im excited every year LOL). Thank you for providing this! Im loving the excerpt of all the books as well! :D

Was this review helpful?

Well, this year there's a really nice addition to this edition. 👏
All excerpts are subdivided in subgenres. For example: if you're only interested into YA? No problem. Just read the YA excerpts. 😊
I really like that!

Buzz Books 2024: Romance is always a great way to discover new stories and new authors, you can easily add to your TBR list or even request on NetGalley. 😉

Honestly I've to say that last year I added a lot more books to my list, than this year.
It's absolutely okay, but that's also the reason why I'd give this edition 3 stars.

Thank you so much to Publishers Lunch for this ARC via NetGalley Read Now.
This is my honest review in my own words.

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 cool to be able to see what romance books will be released. It certainly doesn't help my TBR but it makes me excited for what is to come.

This is so cool! I didn't know this was a thing. It is fun to be able to get samples of some of the romance books coming out. It helps to build my already over flowing TBR. I added a bunch from this one. There should be more like this! longer review coming soon! it will be a fun season for romance lovers!

I was excited to read the new Buzz Books for romance 2024. This book is a great idea to get the word out about upcoming titles, especially ones that you may not read originally. By giving us a chance to see what these amazing authors have written we find books that we can’t wait to try and can’t wait to tell others about.
I was excited to get a sneak peek at the new book by one of my favorite authors, Sabrina Jefferies. Her new book, Hazardous to A Duke’s Heart, looks like one I will have to buy for my collection. I also made new discoveries of books and authors I wanted to try like Aurora Ascher’s My Funny Demon and Sara Raasch The Night Before Kissmas. I even found one that I might not have tried from contemporary romance by Sav R Miller.
You never know what books you might find to add to your TBR! Thank you to NetGalley for letting me have the opportunity to read this.
