There are definitely some books I am very excited to read featured in here! The ones I am most interested in are probably The Kiss Countdown and The Last Days of Lilah Goodluck

I very much enjoyed the opportunity to read some X excerpts from new and upcoming books. I’ve requested a few from the catalog and I can’t wait. Looks like we have some really great stuff coming down the pipeline.

An excellent overview and appetiser of some of the romances that are coming to bookstores soon. There are quite a few titles in this that I can't wait to read in full as soon as I can.

I love being able to get a glimpse of the newest up and coming romance novels via these Buzz Books editions. This 2023 Romance edition has a lot of really great excerpts with a lot of diversity and should have something that appeals to everyone. All of the subgenres and tropes that romance readers have come to know and love are represented -- fake relationships, opposites attract, celebrity heroes, work rivals, supernatural romance, historical romance, forced proximity, forever flings, time travel... you name it! The book excerpts I enjoyed the most (although, they all were truly great!) are The Once and Future Fling by Leigh Heasley, My Roommate is a Vampire by Jenna Levine, Love of My Lives by Yamile Saied Méndez, Do Your Worst by Rosie Danan, and What Happens on Vacation by Jo Watson. I can't wait to see how they turn out!

Though I'm not a romance reader, there seems to be so much chatter around this genre, particularly spicy romance, that I thought maybe something here would entice me. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case, but I appreciate getting to go through the excerpts to look for something that might suit me. I still have faith there is a romance out there for me!

So excited for the upcoming romance books! It's my favorite genre since you're always guaranteed a happily-ever-after! Thanks for the preview Buzz Books and NetGalley!

I love this collection of different love stories and the chance to read excerpts!
They make you curious, you add the books to your TBR or even request them on NetGalley! I love it! ❤️
But it's also good to find out what you don't wanna read and that's absolutely okay too. ;)

Thank you so much to Publishers Lunch for this ebook via NetGalley.

This is a great way to find out about upcoming releases AND to get a feel for those that sound interesting. This was a great grouping and I’m looking forward to diving into several of the included titles.

This Buzz Book grouping is fantastic. Each book offers something different, but delivers the romance. I can't wait to read this list of love-centered reads.

Thank you to publishers Publisher's Lunch for avance digital copies of BUZZ BOOKS 2023: FALL/WINTER and BUZZ BOOKS 2023: ROMANCE.

I have to admit, the purpose of these Buzz Books was not readily apparent to me. After going back and taking a second look, I realizeed they are not mean to be read front to back. Rather, they are meant to be perused until the reader finds an entry of interest, which they can then explorre further.

I often like to go into a book blind, with just a cover and a title and maybe a tag line. So this was a little different, getting a chapter or two or five to help me decide if I wanted to read. I made most of my fiction decisions based almost solely on style!

I really adored the feature to link directly to NetGalley to request an arc. I asked for way too many, but at least they're for fall and winter, so my schedule is open!

I just finished reading the second Buzz Book an hour ago an I've already been approved for a few galleys, let's see which ones:

📚THE HOUSE OF PLAIN TRUTH by Donna Hemans

📚TIME'S MOUTH🎧
by Eden Lepucki

📚THE WIFE FOX by Yangsze Choo

📚JONATHAN ABERNATHY YOU ARE KIND by Molly McGhee

📚JOHN LEWIS: IN SEARCH OF THE BELOVED COMMUNITY by Raymond Arsenault

I don't expect I will get approved for all the books I requested, but a few I'm really hoping for are:

📚 STARS IN YOUR EYES by Kacen Callender

📚 THE FUTURE by Naomi Alderman

📚 BLACKOUTS by Justin Torres

📚 BIG LIARS by Christian L. Hart and Drew A. Curtis

📚 BROOKLYN CRIME NOVEL Jonathan Lethem

I read both the Buzz Books, Romance version and Great Reads version, and both were useful and entertaining.

Great overview of some upcoming romance releases. Some of these authors I was aware of and others I was not. I found some new authors/titles that I was unaware of and and will explore in the future! I love these overviews and will look for them in the future.

Great selection as always. I love the Netgalley links and the wide representation. A must read when deciding which books to add to my TBR.

A wonderful array of romance previews. Really appreciate the diverse range of upcoming titles it makes it easier to decide which review copies to request.

Thank you Net Galley for allowing me to receive this book for an honest review.

I enjoyed reading through Buzz Books. It gave me insight to upcoming books and new authors I may not have read.

It reminded me of Romantic Times magazine. I always like to try new authors and this definately put some new books on my TBR list.
