Excellent as always. Love the portions of all the books! It was great to be able to read portions of books before requesting an ARC. I was able to tell right away whether I wanted to send a request or not.

Buzz Books give a nice overview of what will be published in the next month. That is great to know, it also allows you to directly request the books from Netgalley at the end of each excerpts. I always enjoy going through these books.

Thank you for sharing this sampler. I found several stories that I am interested in. I will definitely be reading several of these novels!

The Buzz Books publication is always a great way to add titles to my "to-read" pile & get inspired to read more new releases. I didn't know most authors in this edition and some I only knew by name. Kind of refreshing to find all new authors instead of new books by the authors I already know.

I'm rather behind the times with my review of this preview of last year's books, but I always appreciate these Buzz Books' roundups by Publishers Lunch, and this one was no exception, with diverse selections from YA contemporary, romance, and fantasy/sci-fi.

There are some books that expected to love because they're in my wheelhouse of YA fantasy (Dividing Eden, Roar), and others that I didn't think I would connect with but I did in spite of myself (Piper Perish, Geekerella, Aftercare Instructions, This is Really Happening). There were also others that I really hoped to like, such as The Black Witch, but I didn't much care for.

I have many more books to read now!

Such a great collection for 2017! This really helped me narrow down choices for what we should focus on buying and promoting to the library population we serve.

There are plenty of books that I realized were being published after reading these samples. Many of which have made it into my TBR list.

This is the first time that I read excerpts of up coming books. It really is a tantalizing preview of some amazing books to come. I have a list of books for my own kids to read thanks to this preview.

Great opportunity to see what books are out there! Not all were to my liking, which is why it was so great to read a part of the books rather that the whole thing. Great idea.

This was a helpful snapshot of the YA books to lookout for in 2017. I am hoping to germs few of these.

Siiiiiiince this is only a preview I just wish to say thank you again. It was nice to get a small peak into what some of my most anticipated look like, as well as some I didn't know about!

Despite being a backdated copy of books released last year....it was still helpful for reminding me of the books i missed out on reading.
Thank you

These Buzz Books are one of my favorite ways to build my "To Read" pile.
This particular edition was no exception. I found myself enchanted immediately by almost all of the covers, but in particular: Dream Me, Roar, and Future Threat.

There were several story lines that led me to seek out my own copy of the book immediately.

Emily Barr's The One Memory of Flora Banks is the preview that most captivated me. The story of a girl who goes on a grand adventure in spite of only being able to retain one memory. I can hardly wait to get my hands on a copy.

The other book that most grabbed my attention was Definitions of Indefinable things. I was hooked by the end of the previews first line. "Nothing made me want to get hit by a bus more than Tuesday night happy pill (see: Zoloft) runs."

I am excited to start tackling the titles from this Buzz Book!
