Now that I have discovered all that Buzz Books has to offer, I will be keeping an eye out for the new ones. There were entirely too many intriguing titles in this edition that I might not have been aware of otherwise.

Reading Buzz Books is like looking forward to Christmas for me! Except the gifts are in the form of books, making it even better! This is the 2017 Spring/Summer edition.

If you've never read one, there are excerpts of up and coming books. This one in particular is fiction, debut fiction, and non fiction. You have the synopsis of book, a chapter except, and a link to request the ARC from NetGalley.

I definitely recommend Buzz Books when you are looking for something new to read. As always, there are some books that sound interesting that I've requested and look forward to reading this spring and summer!

* I received an ARC from the publisher and NetGalley. This is a voluntary review.

This was an absolutely addicting compilation of books from fiction, debut fiction, and non-fiction that are going to whet our literary taste buds this year. Buzz books are the essential guides for any devoted reader or reviewer..

This is a fantastic aid memoir to any booktube, blogger or library manager. It showcases books that are due publication in Spring/ summer 2017 and a hint of what will become bestsellers and/ or prizewinners.
I will use it to recommend new books to my booktube channel subscribers.

What exciting Spring and Summer literary seasons to behold. Looking forward to the beach so I can immerse myself in so many fascinating reads. I hope there is an Erin Brockovich type woman for the Radium Girls. Lisa See's new book will have me wrapped up in her characters like warm wontons for days and leave an indelible aftertaste long after I've finished. And Fredrik Backman...he who created Ove and Brit-Marie...has a fan in me for life.

Thank you. I usually find books that I am anxious to read through Buzz Books.

I love reading this condensed version on must reads! It is very helpful in getting just enough 'feel' for the story to be able to recommend it to the right patron, while at the same time letting me know right away if this is a story or character I want to invest in any further.

i really like the concept behind Buzz Books compilations. It's a collection of loads of samples from established authors, debut authors, and non-fiction. This edition has some big names in fiction with samples of Christopher Brookmyre, Dennis Lehane, Nora Roberts among others. The non-fiction section has a memoir by Roxanne Gay who wrote "Bad Feminist" and I want to read more of that plus "Radium Girls" by Kate Moore looks fascinating as a historical story of risks unknown but the surprise for me is "The Fact of a Body" by Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich described as a "a murder and a memoir". From the bit I've sampled I will definitely look out for this book and it is unlikely i would have come across it without the Buzz Book Anthology. I love these books!

There is another fantastic list of books coming up...my reading list continues to grow.

The first book that grabbed my attention was Soleri, New York Times calls it "Utterly Epic" which prompted me to look further. I was surprised that the genre was fantasy...it is not normally what I would read, but the book is inspired by history and I love historical fiction. I think this will be a must read.

Another that I thought sounded like a really good read is "The Women in the Castle" by Jessica Shattuck. It is compared to a lot of books that I have either read or are on my readers list so I know I am going to want to read it.

There are plenty of other great novels coming up to suit every type of reader, a mix of general fiction, fantasy, mystery and crime to name a few. In fact there are so many good titles coming up that my mind is spinning at how I am going to find to read them all.

What I was very excited about when looking at the novels is that someone that works in the same organisation as I , new book is mentioned. It was exciting to see her excerpt there and it looks like a deep and interesting read.

The Non Fiction section was also full of really good looking reads. I think the upcoming books for the year is going to keep many readers very happy.

Excellent variety of selections from upcoming titles, many of which were quite lengthy. Worth a read to get a more in-depth look at new titles than you may get just from reviews.

Buzz Books 2017: Spring/Summer, like previous books in the series, doesn't disappoint. These collections of excerpts from upcoming titles always leave me wanting to read more, and making a list of "must-reads." Highly recommended for serious readers--and for those who have less time to read, and want to find the very best selections.

I love these Buzz Book guides. They are packed full of books to keep your eye on. My one complaint is that I don't think the excerpts are necessary. There are so many great books listed that just a photo of the cover and a short description or review would be plenty to catch your interest. I wonder how many people actually read the excerpts? Personally I don't think they are long enough to stay with you anymore than a jacket description would. Overall, these keep me motivated to keep reading and increase my percentage to get more great books !
