Oh my gosh! So many awesome books coming out! Thanks to Buzz Books I requested way too many. The ones I didn't or couldn't request I wrote down to look for later. I look being exposed to books I wouldn't normally check out. It's so cool that you can read a portion of the book to see how you are going to like the writing before you request it.

A great collection of excerpts from upcoming 2017 Spring/Summer releases.

It's divided into three categories: Fiction, Debut Fiction, and Nonfiction. Each book section includes a cover or author photo, a book summary, a lengthy excerpt, a short author bio, important publication details, as well as links to the book on Netgalley when available. Buzz Books made it so easy to figure out what books to add to my list. The excerpts are long enough to give a good sense of writing style. There are many books I'm not adding to my list, but it's nice to be aware of them so I can recommend them to people who'd be interested.

The main reason I wanted to read this collection is because of the excerpt from American War by Omar Al Akkad. I was already looking forward to this book’s release and now I’m even more anxious to read it. I love how the author seamlessly slipped into the minds of different characters!

I’m also excited about many of the non-fiction releases:
Memory’s Last Breath: Field Notes on my Dementia by Gerda Saunders (At the top of my must-read list now!)
Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body by Roxane Gay
The Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America’s Shining Women by Kate Moore

I recommend Buzz Books for anyone who wants to stay up-to-date on upcoming releases.
