Flame in the Mist

Roar

Dividing Eden

How to Be a SuperVillan - this one looks really cute!

Geekerella

Always great to take a look at the upcoming reads for the season. I appreciate getting these sneak peeks at what books I might like to review in the future. It helps narrow them down before I request anything. Hope these continue in the future.

This is a great collection of excerpts of upcoming YA books for Spring/Summer 2017.

It contains an introduction followed by a list of authors that appeared at Winter Institute (Kayla Cagan, Cora Carmack, Laurie Forest, Ashley Poston, and Liz Reinhardt). After that section there are excepts by publishers. I particularly enjoyed the excerpt for FLAME IN THE MIST by Renee Ahdie.

Overall, a great list of buzzing YA titles for Spring/Summer 2017.

Thank you for this fabulous compilation of new Young Adult literature.
I often find it hard to search out the good YA literature from all the fantasy novels and these Buzz YA issues are always a great help.

I love love love the young adult Buzz Books sampler! My favorite genre, and a season's worth of books to look forward to! Flame in the Mist sounds so incredible! The One Memory of Flora Banks sounds extremely interesting. Future Threat is right up my alley. Piper Perish has a darling cover! Roar sounds so awesome! And I adore the cover! Dividing Eden has the coolest cover, omg! I can't wait to read the entire book! Geekerella sounds so adorable! I don't usually go for those types of books, but I don't think that I can resist! All of the excerpts were compelling, even for the types of books that I don't normally read. I just love this sampler!

I always look forward to buzz books including the young adult edition. I find myself enjoying the excerpts even if I have read some of the authors before. I usually find myself enjoying the story excerpt while reading it and am sorry that it's an excerpt. I know I will find the majority if not all the titles to be books I want to read. Don't miss out on this one!

I've been using this book to inform a teenage book group. It had been really useful for me to get teenagers to engage in reading, not every book catches the imagination of every potential reader. but this gives the a good idea of what they may enjoy and encourages them to choose texts they wouldn't have otherwise tried.

Not my type of book, I tried to start it but just couldn't get into anything about this book!

A great and informative sampler of upcoming young adult books/novels. I recommend for fans of YA.

I cannot express how valuable the Buzz Book editions are. If you would like some ideas of some fabulous young adult books to read, then look no further.
These excerpts were a brilliant introduction to some exciting 2017 releases.
I absolutely loved delving into excerpts from these releases. The feeling of getting stuck into new fiction from a variety of different authors was very exciting.
18 book excerpts are provided - allowing a good amount of text per book - to give me a fantastic insight into what is to come. I enjoyed the range of young adult books provided: YA contemporary to YA fantasy and mystery.
I enjoyed the range that was provided to me: I had heard of a couple of authors in this edition of Buzz Books, but others I had the pleasure of meeting for the first time.
Overall a great read, to get yourself prepared and excited for what is to come.

This range of excerpts in this Buzz Books collection are just amazing! There's something for everybody from romance to intrigue, fantasy to science-fiction, to comedies and fun! The book I'm highly anticipating most out of these excerpts is definitely Flame in the Mist by Renee Ahdieh. I absolutely adored her Wrath and the Dawn duology (I was heartbroken that it was just two books!!) so I can't wait to get my hands on her new book. Another one I'm highly anticipating is Roar; it sounds like such an interesting premise that I'm really looking forward to immersing myself in the world! Rebels Like Us really piqued my interest and it's definitely one I'm interested in checking out! The One Memory of Flora Banks sounds so incredibly intriguing and both Geekerella and How to be a Supervillain sound like a lot of fun! I love getting these Buzz Books as they really open my eyes to new genres and new authors. This was definitely one of the best I've had in a long time!

Love reading these little snippets of novels coming out. Gives me so much more to look forward for in the upcoming year, as well as make my pre-order list just a tad bit longer.
