A great sampler of upcoming books, as always. I didn't get to finish it this time around due to more pressing ARC deadlines but I did add several titles to my list for future reviews.

One of my goals for 2025 was to stop requesting so many books on NetGalley but here I am adding and adding titles to be read. :-) I adore these samplers! I have added several titles to my lists and we'll see if I can resist requesting them or if the temptation will be too great...

Thank you to Net Galley for making this available for review, and to the authors.

This is a sampling of books being released in the Spring and Summer, and I requested it because I'm in a bit of a reading slump, and I wanted to find out what's out there that I might like. Overall, this is a great way to get a little sampling of new books coming out, and I found a few I added to my TBR. I do wish it was printed - just my preference!

I absolutely loved this sampler series! I wound up wanting to continue reading so many books that I had to make a list. Several were from genres I don't usually read from, but the samples hooked me in just a couple of chapters. Thanks so much, NetGalley, for this fantastic collection!

This was on NetGalley. There is a wide variety of stories. I had not looked at a Buzz Book in a couple of years. If you want to sample the stories coming up then this is a good way to do it. It tells you some of the story, the author's story the same as their books usually does and who publishes the story,

I always appreciate an opportunity to learn of upcoming titles through buzz books.
What a great concept, and great service to readers.

I've never read anything like this, but I love the book samples provided to get a feel. I added a few books to my TBR.

While This was a bit difficult to read in ebook format, there was lots of good information on upcoming books organized by book type. Thank you to Net Gally for providing this free preview opportunity.

I love the issues of the Buzz Books. It is very helpful to read an excerpt of a book before requesting it on Net Galley. There are always good books by known authors and authors previously unknown to me.
Thank you, Publishers Lunch and Net Galley for this latest issue of Buzz Books.

I love having these preview books to find some titles that might slip under the radar or indie authors I might not have picked up. Plus there's a couple snippets from books I'm already anticipating. Thanks to Netgalley for the arc.

always love these buzz books to see what's on the horizon and to keep an eye out for at the bookstores and libraries.

This is a great way to preview books with chapters to read rather reading a blurb. I have found some new authors and some that I have read in the past. This will be helpful when there are so many choices in the market and having a need to prioritize.

I love this format and this idea. I wish I had nine lives to read all the books I want to read. Now including Mai Tsai's MEMORY HUNTERS and Fishers the NEXT CONVERSATION.

Nice Preview! Appreciate the embedded access to arcs. The list at the front is very comprehensive and the sampling of buzzworthy upcoming books is really nice for readers to get a feel of what to expect in the next reading season. It's always nice in this day and age of so many books to purchase, to get more info on selections beyond a summary/blurb.

I always look forward to the Buzz Books edition. Great set of books coming up! I can see myself picking up quite a few of these. Thanks Netgalley and publishers

A great list of up and coming books to at the the TBR list.
A lot of great excerpts from new authors and buzz books for the next season.

An interesting assortment of titles. I added some to our library's to-purchase list and requested some of the ARCs.

This didn’t appear to be a product meant for receiving actual feedback. I wish thee was an option to review without the review option impacting my profile rating.

Thank you to Publishers Lunch for providing this guide to the forthcoming Spring/Summer titles of which there are so many I'm looking forward to. I'm grateful for the opportunity to see the excerpts and jot down the books I'm looking forward to reading, especially the following in no specific order.

Most anticipated 2025 spring/summer releases:

・Happy Land by Dolen Perkins-Valdez
・Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab
・The Memory Hunters by Mia Tsai
・A Girl Within a Girl Within a Girl by Nanda Reddy
・Blood Slaves by Markus Redmond
・The Faceless Thing We Adore
・My Other Heart by Emma Nanami Strenner

Plus so many, many more!

I wasn't positive if this was meant to be reviewed, but wow am I glad that I read it. I wish all publishers released something like this twice a year too. Majorly helpful in deciding if you want to read a book. I have a slight issue with confusing (to me) writing styles and this really would have been helpful with a few books that I requested but just could not push through. Found so many books I can't wait to read.
