This was a really comprehensive collection of new books coming out in the next year. I’ve already found some great new books from Buzz Books and I can’t wait to read them!

This is a fantastic resource for planning one's 2025 TBR. Including fiction, nonfiction and debut excerpts was a great way to sample upcoming titles. My TBR has greatly expanded.

I love these Buzz Books previews. I always find a few books to request that I would not otherwise have found. Thank you Publishers Lunch for putting these together.

This collection is a great way to preview some exciting upcoming releases and currently available eGalleys. The formatting makes it really easy to jump around to books that interest you more than others. My only critique is I wish the genre was specified for each book, beyond it being categorized as fiction or nonfiction.

Lots of great looking books coming this Spring/Summer 2025!

Such a useful collection of so many samplers of both fiction, non-fiction and debut novels, Each includes the book’s cover, a little summary, the excerpt and some information about the author and where you could get the book (including release date, price or Netgalley ARC link). I have already read some of them and added them to my Netgalley wishlist or TBR.

This is such a cool resource to use to get a taste of what’s coming out. This is my first time finding this but I’m so thrilled that I did! This is so useful when deciding what might be a good read!

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I'm always so excited to see Buzz Books as a title that can be requested. Twice a year, my nerdy little heart speeds up just a bit, and I develop a bit more of a "skip" in my everyday walk. Of course, because I work at a bookstore, I am often aware of upcoming books before others, but I don't always get to read excerpts, so that is a treat. Not only that, I love that excerpts included are oftentimes books that I would never think to read on my own- but end up trying and falling in love with. That, to me, is the beauty of not only Buzz Books, but to NetGalley as a whole. As long as I have this job, and as long as Buzz Books is available to me, I will forever read these titles!

Always a good resource for new books. Love that it includes excerpts from upcoming books so that you get a chance to understand the vibe and writing style.

Always one of my favorites to get from Netgalley, I use this to temper my expectations and grab some books for next year. Its always what I knew I'd like and then of course a bunch of books I've never heard of before. I grabbed at least 3 that I plan on adding this year. The excerpts are also t he perfect lenght

This compilation is a real treat. It covers fiction, nonfiction, YA and biographies from established and debut authors. I would like to see excerpts from the notable authors listed, however, I appreciate the list of what is to come this year. Overall, some interesting books with my best pick being Great Black Hope by Rob Franklin. I will be definitely checking these compilations in the future.

What a delightful little sampler platter of all there is to come for literature in 2025. So grateful to have an opportunity to look behind publishings curtain and get excited for crowd favorites and debuts alike!! Already seeking ARCs from this list and immediately saving titles from Libby holds. Thank you, publishers lunch!!

As always, this is a really helpful guide for books to look out for at the start of 2025.
I would love to see more fantasy books and I always appreciate horror recs- but those are personal preferences.
This is quite the tome so definitely skip around to whatever catches your eye plus the debut authors section and then get to requesting. I've already got a couple on my shelf!

This list was very helpful in providing me ideas of books I'd like to request, books I'll be calling up at the library, and books I will recommend to my friends and followers.
