I love, love, love Buzz Books as it is fun and exciting to see the newest books coming out. I already have added several books to my TBR. How could I possibly resist? Love that there is a Large Debut Author Section, I always look at those closely. Great way to find new books.

Thank you NetGalley and Publisher’s Lunch for a copy of this collection.

This resource was incredibly helpful, and put so many interesting books on my radar. It made me much more excited for reading this spring and summer! I had only heard of two of these books previously. Some of the excerpts were so good that I wanted to read the rest of the book immediately. Can’t wait to read these books in the future.

Another case of so many books, so little time. Lots to look forward to in this sampler! Having the excerpts is very helpful.

I am so happy being getting back into reading again. This title couldn't come at a more perfect time. What a great collection of titles and samples of up and coming books. I am going to have to put my reading journal to good use for all of the books I want to read through spring/summer this year. My "want" list just keeps growing and growing.
This is definitely a book to get if you are interested in seeing which books will be your next picks.

Happy Choosing and Happy Reading!!!

I always look forward to the publishing of Buzz Books. It's SUCH a helpful tool for me as a reviewer because it helps me discover upcoming releases I haven't yet heard about, and allows me to sample books I'm interested both to help me decide whether or not to request them and to get a peek at whether it seems like something I'll want to put on my followers'/subscribers' radar. And this one had some GREAT titles that I'm looking forward to reading more of!

I love discovering new books to read from Buzz Books. I always find something that I want to continue reading.

This is such a great idea, and I look forward to reading some of these!

I would only wish that there were more teen books. Titling the section "Young Adult" was sort of misleading; Middle Grade would have been more suitable for all the books in that category, except one book (which is actually ya).

I look forward to the buzz books catalogs every season, I usually find a few more books to add to my TBR and request on Netgalley.

This was a great, informative read of many upcoming books for spring and summer 2025. I really liked how organized it was. It was organized by genre, then each book. Each book has multiple sections about it; starting with a brief summary and an excerpt. The summary is followed by a section about the author, and then book details, such as Price, Publication Date, etc. Finally, it has a section of promotional information, and bookseller blurbs.

This is a great tool for anyone looking for books to read this coming year.

As always, I love these so so much! I always add books on my tbr list thanks to them, they’re helpful and funny to read them! I love how they’re divided by the genre and I haven’t heard about some of these until now!

This was a great opportunity to discover future reads! I can't wait to request many of these. Definitely added some of this to my TBR.

I always look forward to these opportunities to read snippets of different books coming out in the coming months. As someone who reads around 200 books/year, this is an amazing resource. I do wish it was organized by genre so I could skip past things more easily that I know will not interest me.

A fantastic resource for book reviewers and book sellers. I only with it could be broken up into subgenres.

It’s packed with upcoming book releases with various genre! A perfect guide to finding and discovering future reads to determine books to be read this year!

What a great collection of anticipated releases. I'm so excited to add so many of these to my TBR and can't wait to request them when they're ready. I appreciate separating out debut authors because I'm always interested in them.

Oh man my TBR just got so much longer. I love these previews to help me decide what I have to read. Not that I ever have a small TBR, so maybe it’s not such a great plan to get pulled into new books.
