It’s always helpful to get a jump on new and upcoming releases. Makes it less likely to be blindsided by a customer request or inquiry. I appreciate the buzz books listing.

I always love these samplers because I get the chance to sample books that I otherwise would never have seen! I am so glad that this version seemed to have more of a variety of options than in the past. I am absolutely dying to read A Marriage At Sea and The Ghostwriter! I do wish that the publisher of Julie Clark's books was kinder in approving ARCs!

This review was also published on Goodreads.

I wanted to scope out some YA and fiction from this season and see what was currently being released, especially from Disney/Hyperion.

Thanks Publishers Lunch for always providing such a great selection for these Buzz Books.

Thank you for a great look at all the spring and summer releases of 2025. I love getting a closer look at many books at a time. I can't wait to see what's coming up for fall and winter! Thank you.

I really should stop reading the Buzz Books compilations. Seriously, my to-be-read list always doubles on length AT LEAST every time I read one. Though I was a little late to the party on this one and many of the included books have already been released, I found many intriguing titles that will keep me entertained and reading for the next several months. I'm already looking forward to the 2025 Fall/Winter edition!

A treasure trove for any reader who loves to plan ahead!

Buzz Books Spring/Summer 2025 offers a smartly curated glimpse into some of the most anticipated titles of the season—across genres and voices. I especially appreciated the mix of debut and established authors, along with just enough of each excerpt to get a true feel for the story. It’s a great resource for book club planners, literary retreat organizers, or anyone looking to refresh their TBR list with intention and excitement.

As always, a great selection of books to read this spring and summer. I always appreciate the lengthy excerpts that help me decide which titles to add to may ever-growing Want-to-Read shelf.

A guide with short excerpts for new books coming out in spring/summer 2025.

It has a lot of info, like the cover, the publisher, the price, and a short summary of the book with an author bio. The excerpts cover about about the first three chapters, which was more than I expected, and there’s a variety of genres and authors, though it does seem to lean adult historical/upmarket. It’s separated into four sections with fiction, debut, nonfiction, and young adult. It had some books I’m excited for, like VE Schwab and Maggie Stiefvater. Recommended for readers who want to see and try out some of the new books coming out this year!

Thanks to Netgalley and Publishers Lunch for the eARC in exchange for an honest review!

Very informative. Found many books that interested me that I look forward to reading.. I hope to find some new favorite authors as .well as books.

Thank you Netgalley! This was so fun to read and helpful guide to what books to look out for. 5 stars from this reader!

Thank you, NetGalley for another wonderful edition of Buzz Books! I love getting to read snippets and learn about some of the hottest new reads coming out!

I LOVE THIS! Big thank you to all the authors included, Publishers Lunch, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read the excerpts within - ones I was looking forward to reading because I am very much anticipating the book release, and others I enjoyed even though I hadn't been aware of them yet. I found a few that I was excited to add to my TBR. I love being able to read a sample before reading the book, and being able to know at least if I like the writing style/dialogue style before committing. Thanks again!

A great book that had a list of all the different books coming out in the spring and summer of this year, I didn't get throw all of the books but definitely seemed like a good line up!

Plenty of books to sample in this book and see how much we like them before going about purchasing or checking the titles out from a library. Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for the opportunity.

Such a fun look at the upcoming books! The only downside is it leaves you wanting more and you have to wait for the actual titles to be available or the books to be published lol! Thanks for the look!

These are always helpful in finding new and upcoming books. I do miss how they used to be divided into genres so they weren't so massive.

Loved these excerpts and blurbs as I was working on my spring reading list! I put several books on my TBR and read a couple as well.

Buzz Books is an invaluable resource for all bibliophiles trying to keep abreast of upcoming titles. By highlighting the most talented, exciting and diverse debut authors, it is possible to more effectively focus on titles that are most likely to be sought after. Both the comprehensive and the more select excerpts are helpful for everyone interested in the world of reading and publishing.,

Thank you for Netgalley and to Publishers Lunch for the ARC in exchange for this review.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing the ability to discover new fiction and nonfiction excerpts in one space. This publication has introduced me to new authors and expanded my knowledge of available books. I look forward to reading the full texts of many of these current and upcoming works.

Great sampling of upcoming books! Have added so many to my request list. Fingers crossed for some approvals!!
