I enjoyed this sampler. Most of the samples of the books caught my interest. There were only a couple that I didn't care for. I am most excited to read the full version of Geekerella by Ashley Poston. I was also excited to see that one of my favorite indie authors, Elizabeth Briggs, has a traditionally published book coming out. I enjoyed the sample of her book, future Threat, quite a lot.

I really appreciate these collections! They are super helpful.

Overall, I thought the majority of these were 4 star reads.

I really do love seeing these samplers go up every couple of months so I can get a taste for what's coming out soon/what I can currently request on NetGalley.

I'm so glad that I decided to read this. Some of the books I had heard of and put on my tbr and some other I hadn't but now want to read. I hope to find one with 2018 books. This has really gotten me so excited to read a lot of books.

So many books I'm excited for in 2018 sadly most of them didn't make it into this booklet.
I'm excited for:
February Release
Rebels Like Us by Liz Reinhardt
April Release
Defintions of Indefinable Things by Whitney Taylor
Gem & Dixie by Sara Zarr
May release
The One Memory of Flora Banks by Emily Barr
March Release
Piper Parish by Kayla Cargan
Love the Diary format of this one.
June Release
Aftercare Instructions by Bonnie Pipkin
I really like reading realistic fiction right now and this one seems like a very important read.

This collection always offers some great excerpts - some from high-profile novels like The Flame In The Mist and Dividing Eden, and some from books I've never heard of but am now interested in!

Great sampler, I definitely added to my wishlist after reading some of this! Thank you!

Ooooh, I need to find one of these for next year's books. I loved this!
Basically, this is a compilation of forthcoming titles (although I read this at the END of 2017, so they aren't forthcoming anymore) that are anticipated to have a lot of good buzz.
Plus it includes SAMPLES! I love this. It really helps me decide whether or not I want to commit to spending time reading the entire book.
*I received a free digital copy of this book via NetGalley and Publishers Lunch in exchange for an honest review.*

I mean what can you say about samplers and excerpts, it did it's job and got me interested.

Nice light hearted easy going weekend read I enjoyed reading it before bed.

When I first received a copy of this book I started reading at random but unfortunately nothing really captured my attention. Consequently, it sat unfinished on my shelf. Just recently I revisited my shelf and again started flicking through it. Naturally this time everything I started reading captured my attention and I didn't want to stop at the excerpt. My loss. By now, these books are no longer available for request so I'll be adding a number of them to my TBR. Either way, I'm so glad I found these titles. My lesson is clear. If I ever happen to be fortunate enough to obtain another Buzz Books I'll read the blurb for each excerpt and instead of reading at random I'll begin with those that appeal the most. It's a great concept and I'm disappointed with myself for dashing my chances first time around.

This was one of my favorite editions so far because it included several books that I am looking forward to reading. Some I have but haven't read and others I will be looking for. These are the books included in this edition:
"Flame in the Mist" Renee Ahdieh
"The One Memory of Flora Banks" Emily Barr
"Dream Me" Kathryn Berla
"Future Threat" Elizabeth Briggs
"Piper Perish" Kayla Cagan
"Roar" Cora Carmack
"This is Really Happening" Erin Chack
"Dividing Eden" Joelle Charbonneau
"Spirit Quest" Jennifer Frick-Ruppert
"The Black Witch" Laurie Ann Forest
"How to be a Supervillan" Michael Fry
"The End of Our Story" Meg Haston
"Laugh Out Loud" James Patterson & Chris Grabenstein
"Aftercare Instructions" Bonnie Pipkin
"Geekerella" Ashley Poston
"Rebels Like Us" Liz Reinhardt
"Definitions of Indefinable Things" Whitney Taylor
"Gem & Dixie" Sara Zarr

A tiny assortment of many 2017 publications. "Flame in the Mist" and "The one memory of Flora Banks" are surely among my favorites ♥ I can not wait to read them!

Although Young Adult books are not my most favoured genre, I have been slowly getting into them more of late. At the moment I tend to enjoy the sound of some but others just don't sound like they're for me. I do want to get more into reading them though as I do enjoy the ones I do read. That's where this redource comes in - by reading the excerpts I can know almost for certain that I will be able to read it in full and have a positive reaction. As always, a great selection and an unrivalled sampler.

I looked through the offering and enjoyed the snippets from the upcoming releasese

The books which this catalogue, if you can call it that, were amazing. From the authors to the stories itselves, I personally enjoyed every little thing about these. Definitely keeping an eye out on some of them! There was a lot of variety, and options to choose from. Regardless, some of the books I didn’t really care about. I thought either the description wasn’t good or it was flat out uninteresting. Overall, the books talked about were pretty interesting and I’ll see if I can give my students some of them.

Looking forward to reading more than just the preview for some of these

I enjoyed reading the previews of the YA Spring/Summer collection. I definitely added some books to my TBR list & sent some requests on NetGalley.
Thank you to NetGalley for my copy.

Buzz Books previews are always amazing for getting you hooked on a book and leaves you frothing at the mouth wanting more.
