Once again Buzz Books 2025: Spring/Summer is an addictive Biblio-Smorgasbord for book lovers. The format is perfect with a clear Introduction of what to expect in this issue of Buzz Books. The full Publishing Preview section is the larger selection of titles by category, with title/publisher/publishing date for each. There are always gems here. This time is no different. The Israeli writer Etgar Keret’s new book of stories comes out in May, and this is not to be missed. Colum McCann, William Dalrymple, and Ron Chernow also make my list. Then onto the selected books from that list with their excerpts. These excerpts whet the reader’s literary appetite with well-picked passages, some thankfully longer like the remarkable V. E. Schwab’s “Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil.”

Each new Buzz Books publication is something now I impatiently await. When it is published, I pour over the titles. Each time my “essential” and “possible” booklist grows as I delve into the summaries and excerpts. My biblio-possibilities this time range from an obit writer adrift (“I See You’ve Called in Dead”), to a ghostwriter entrapped to write about a murder possibly committed by her father (“The Ghostwriter”), and to a bookstore novel (“Storybook Ending”) - and more.

I am grateful to Publishers Lunch and NetGalley, as well as all the authors and publishers, for providing this amazing sampling of upcoming books. I eagerly look forward to the next Buzz Books publications.

This compilation of the buzziest books of Spring/Summer 2025 has me absolutely dying to fill my ereader with so so so many books!! Some of my favorite authors are included in Part One: VE Schwab, Julie Clark, Kristina McMorris. Part Two is devoted to Debut authors, which is wonderful. I can't always eager to find new favorites. NonFiction is covered in Part Three and Young Adult in Part Four. Highly recommend!

My Insight:

I enjoyed the Buzz book collection sample previews. I will find interesting reads from this list, and I look forward to reading them. It was wonderful to get the book cover and a summary of the novel.
Thank you, Publishers Lunch, for allowing me to preview many of these good reads.

Love these sampler books as easier to read what I want and also discover some new titles I might not get chance to read all of but can get a sense from the samples and recommend from that.

This was a really helpful resource. Looking forward to returning to it throughout the year. I appreciate having so much compiled in one place.

This is a great summary of new releases coming in spring and summer 2025. What I love about it are the excerpts that I can read to determine which ARCS to request. I knew about some of these books but not all and I’m really excited to read them.

Buzz Books is a superior sampling of books that are coming up in 2025. I always enjoy reading these. I can't wait to read some of these stories. I would love to see more middle grade included in these round ups

Always love these collections. I added several of these titles to my TBR and request list on Netgalley. I look forward to them every season!

Huge fan of these excerpt collections! This edition has a PLETHORA of excerpts including fiction, non-fiction, and YA. I found some new books to put on my radar.

Thank you Publishers Lunch!

Great guide that introduced me to books that I wouldn’t have thought of reading otherwise! I liked that I could click through and pick and choose which books I wanted to look at and that the books I was interested in gave a lengthy chunk of the book to read.

Great opportunity to get a taste of some of the new books launching this year and figure out which ones I want to preoder

Super helpful list and gave me lots of new reads to look forward to. Would definitely recommend others check out this list.

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!

Excellent resource to see what's coming down the pipeline and a good point of reference. Thank you Publishers Lunch for creating this.

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!

As always, Buzz Books provides an excellent preview of exciting titles, everything from favorite authors to newcomers or new to me authors. It's an excellent way to plan my TBR list.

I cannot express how excited I am for several of the books featured in this Buzz Books 2025! There are soem phenomenal books ocming out this year, and I am eager to read and review some of them on this site!

Wow, there's a lot of good looking books coming our way this spring. Thank you for the opportunity to preview them!
