Great for teen/YA librarians to learn what's going to be big; great reader's advisory tool for professional development.

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!

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 like being able to see the upcoming books and help guide decisions of what I will read.

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
