I always love these samplers, as they introduce me to new authors and give a snippet of their work to see if I’m interested in further pursuing their upcoming releases. This one was unique as it is all debut authors.

I especially enjoyed The Dictionary of Lost Words (that cover is gorgeous) as I love historical fiction. Of all the books included, that is the one I’m most excited to get my hands on. I’ll definitely be ordering a copy once it releases! The Nine Lives of Rose Napolitano was also intriguing and I enjoyed the writing style a lot.

Thank you NetGalley and Penguin Random House for the sampler!

I absolutely love the opportunity to get a sneak peek at upcoming fiction. Being able to sample new to me authors helps me to determine my future TBR choices.

This (free) sampler includes excerpts from ten upcoming fiction titles. These books cover quite a range so there is sure to be something for everyone who enjoys reading. How about a book about a dictionary, a southern family, an elephant in Belfast, an “opium prince,” or chickens? The included titles are The Opium Prince, The Nine Lives of Rose Napolitano, The Music of Bees, Highway Blue, Things We Lost to the Water, Brood, Dial A for Aunties, The Sweet Taste of Muscadines, The Elephant of Belfast, and The Dictionary of Lost Words.Take a look. Decide on your next read. Highly recommended for those looking for new books.

I love looking through fiction samplers and reading the opening chapters of hot upcoming titles. This features books from debut authors coming in early 2021 and I'm so glad I got to read them. I look forward to reading more of a few of these books!
Many thanks to Penguin Random House Library Resources and NetGalley for the early look at these titles.
