Discovered some fantastic new reads from this little book! I love to read through these. :)

These collections are always so hit and miss. I like samplers and extracts for their ability to give one an insight into upcoming reads, but found there was little in this particular publication that really captured my attention.

A really handy book to get an overview of new titles and pick the next book club read!

This ya preview book really didn't preview anything I want to or was looking forward to reading unfortunately. Hoping the Fall 2017 has more ya titles I'm interested in!!

A great selection of samples - looking forward to reading them in full!

A very intriguing experts from anticipated releases! Lots of new books on my TBR

I just viewing the upcoming titles so I can make massive lists of the books I want to add to my TBR list - which is growing WAY too long!!

These are very good excerpts! I enjoyed reading them. Very diversified which is pretty important.

Another great edition of Buzz Books. I don't read many YA novels, but I am looking forward to the release of The One Memory of Flora Banks and The End of Our Story.

I love these previews! After reading this season's previews I immediately requested three of the books from my local library. I'm especially excited for Flame in the Mist by Reneé Ahdieh.

I found some new books that I would like to read and I went ahead and added them on Goodreads. I can't wait to get to them all.

This compilation on YA upcoming novels was amazing. I can't wait to read many of them. Specifically, I am extremely excited for Flame in the Mist and The One Memory of Flora Banks. The Buzz Books have become an amazing resource for new releases to look forward to. The summaries provide a great foundation for the forthcoming hottest reads of the season and give me a great way of prioritizing which novels should be first on my TBR list. Thank you for always providing an amazing selection.

I liked some of the excerpts in this book. Wish I could've read more

There is one major reason I’m not a frequent YA reader; I struggle a bit with suspending disbelief, meaning fantasy and I don’t get along very well. While it seems most of the popular YA books are in the fantasy realm lately, I still decided to peruse this compilation to see if there was anything that might grab my attention. Something I might consider stepping outside of the box for. The only book, of the numerous excerpts, that interested me in any capacity, was Aftercare Instructions by Bonnie Pipkin. With that said, I’m not sure about a portion of the story being delivered in a play-like format.

I didn’t walk away with any must-reads, but I kind of expected that going in. This would be a great way for a YA reader to narrow down selections though.

One of the best ways to find out about new exciting releases! My go-to catalogue every month.

A good preview of YA for netgalley reviewers which includes an excerpt and the publishing details like agent and editor etc. I focused on realistic contemporary YA. Below are the YA I liked best from the excerpts:

This is Really Happening by Erin Chack: a Millennial memoir about surviving cancer as a teen into early adulthood.

The End of Our Story by Meg Haston: a contemporary YA set in Florida

Aftercare Instructions by Bonnie Pipkin: a girl is abandoned by her boyfriend while getting an abortion. I love the narrative, but I'm not sure about the dramatized flashbacks that are written like a theatrical skit.

*Geekerella by Ashley Poston: a contemporary retelling of Cinderella set in the sci fi fandom world. I can't wait to read this book - strong voice and original concept!

Rebels Like Us by Liz Reinhardt: a biracial romance challenges the southern tradition of separate black and white proms. I love the premise and that the black MC defies stereotype by coming from an affluent NYC background, not the hood, before moving to the south, but there has been criticism by black reviewers about how the white author handles race.

*Gem & Dixie by Sara Zara: a contemporary YA about two low income sisters struggling with hunger and social issues. This felt fresh and meaningful. Sara Zarr writes beautifully.

I plan to read my starred excerpts, although I'm late for requesting galleys. The others are maybes.

I love the way this book is set up. You get to see the cover, a summary, an excerpter and get to know about the author of each upcoming book. I didn't know what to expect when I requested this but it really does help me know what books I would want to get as soon as they are available.

OMG so much to read, so little time! Buzz Books 2017 gives a great foretaste of this spring's/summer's publications. I'm most excited about Renee Ahdieh's Flame in the Mist, set in medieval Japan. Sign me up for this big adventure. Other titles that appealed to me are Dream Me by Kathryn Berla (sci-fi), Roar by Cora Carmack (fantasy), Laugh Out Loud by James Patterson and Chris Grabenstein (about a kid whose biggest dream it is to be a book publisher ❤) and Geekerella by Ashley Poston (the title says it all 😃 ). Also Rebels Like Us by Liz Reinhardt could become an important book, especially these days. I already look forward to devouring all these new YA titles!

Good starting point if you are looking for ideas on what to read. You will need to have plenty of time as you are likely to end up with a long to read pile.

Some of my favorite authors are present in this sampler edition. I am so excited to read the full books.
