Buzz Books 2017: Young Adult Spring/ Summer

Thanks for the awesome previews! It is always great to know of forthcoming books so that I know what books I should buy and when.

THANK YOU! This book w/ the previews was such a great help!

I've since added to my TBR:

Dividing Eden
How to be a Supervillain
The End of Our Story
Geekerella
Definitions of Indefinable Things

SO EXCITED! Without the previews, I may not have taken a chance on a few of these! Now I can't wait to read them all!

So many great books coming out! Can't wait for Flame in the Mist and The One Memory of Flora Banks!

As always, these Buzz Books are super helpful in finding some shining star books when there are an overwhelming number of new titles coming out. Covers (when available, book summaries, and excerpts help librarians, booksellers, and readers choose what's best suited for them.

I love reading my Buzz Books! It's such a great way to sample a bunch of titles that I might never have had the chance to even pick up. I know right away if I like a book or not, but they make sure to give you enough of the story to really set the hook! I wish I could read every one sometimes. Love this sneak peek.

As usual, a great intro into what's coming. This always makes my book wish list grow in leaps and bounds!

This was a wonderful collection of short stories! It was definitely a teaser for upcoming books!

ARC provided by Publisher's Lunch via Netgally, but does not influence my review in any way.

Great teaser book for upcoming YA novels. Your TBR will grow exponentially with this book. Filled with stories from authors like Renee Ahdieh, Joelle Charbonneau, James Patterson, and so many more.

I love compilations like this, as I get toe experience the first part of the story to see if it's worth purchasing. I have now added Roar by Cora Carmack, Flame in the Mist by Renée Ahdieh, and The Black Witch by Laurie Ann Forest to my TBR.

Absolutely love Buzz Books. I look forward to every publication as it is a great introduction to books and authors I would not normally see.

Thanks to this book, I crossed one YA off my list and got infinitely more excited about another! :)

Thank you for the opportunity to read excepts from upcoming books.

I can't tell if it's just me, or if a number of these stories are really bleak, verging on dystopian, even those in a modern, our-world setting. I kind of needed a hug, even after just the excerpts for some of these.

A must have guide for any library, book blogger or booktube. This showcases upcoming new titles for the spring/ summer season. A must have guide

I love these previews, and the opportunities to read advanced copies. I look forward to these each quarter!

This is an incredibly useful tool for collection development. It put a few titles on both my personal reading list, and my library purchasing list, and confirmed a few others.

I write monthly previews for new releases because I can't always get my hands on certain books, so this is super helpful in cutting down my time in bookshops perusing the first few chapters of many new publications! I look forward to seeing more of these in the future!

I'm very glad that there's a YAfiction edition of this series. I love the monthly outputs as well but tend to search for the YA titles much more closely.

I was very impressed by the premise of "Dividing Eden" and will be putting that on my to be read list. I was also thrilled to see an excerpt of Renee Ahdieh's latest novel!

This is actually fantastic. I wish I had discovered these earlier. This is not only perfect for book reviewers, but also for book lovers. It's great publicity for authors who deserve it, with perfect size excerpts, and all the information you'd ever need about the book. Absolutely brilliant.

My only complaint is that this is a look at the Spring/Summer book releases, but there's only a handful of books featured. For a period that covers an entire 6 months, I feel like a lot of people were left out of being featured in this.
