Look forwards to reading and review a couple of these books very soon

I really like these books that let you know what is coming out within the next 3-6 months or so. I do admit that I haven't read every single selection in its entirety. I do like that they also give a short summary of the book before the excerpt. So you can decide if you might be interested. I tried to read at least part of the excerpt, although there were a few I totally skipped due to the summary. I have added several books to my books that I want to look into reading when they come out. A couple I already requested on NetGalley, but know I may not get approved for. The one I most wanted The Marsh King's Daughter, I was already turned down for, but when it comes out in July or August, I'll start checking the local library and Overdrive. Even if you don't request ARCs through NetGalley or similar services, Edelweiss maybe, it is great to know what is coming and what they are thinking might be the next big, popular reads.

This is the first Buzz book I've read. It's made me more excited about some books I'd already heard about and wanted to read and opened my eyes to a few more that would never have been on my radar.

A great way of finding exciting new titles! Unfortunately there is distribution license restriction on most of the books and not accessible to reviewers outside of the peripheries. The fortunate masses have nothing to worry about, it is available for review on Netgalley to residence of the USA and Britain.

But thanks anyway for this glimpse into an exciting reading year!

A great selection of books to look forward to.

Always excited to read these excerpts! I've found some really good books and hope to find more !

A great selection of book samples that's left me eager to reader quite a few books. A fabulous way to see what's up-and-coming!

A lot of good samples from upcoming novels that make one curious. Or sort out what you don't like from the beginning :-)

I really enjoyed and look forward to:
Soleri by Michael Johnston
Ten Dead Comedians by Fred Van Lente
Finals Girls by Riley Sager

What a great way to peek into a great variety of upcoming releases. I so appreciate the Summary, Excerpt, and About the Author notes. Also am finding it easier to read in the e-kindle version than in the bulky, dictionary weight paperback edition.

There are some hidden gems here. I have already downloaded a few.

I have been reading the Buzz Book collection for several years and encourage any readers new to Net Galley to look at them since they provide a very helpful overview of upcoming new books. In addition to lengthy lists of authors and titles organized by publisher at the beginning, this collection features 40 excerpts arranged by genre: fiction (Anthony Horowitz, Nora Roberts, Graeme Simsion and many more on my to-read list); debut fiction (can't wait to meet some soon-to-be favorite authors!) and Nonfiction (including Roxane Gay, Richard Ford, Kate Moore and others).

Buzz Books 2017: Spring/Summer: Exclusive Excerpts from 40 Top New Titles, By Publishers Lunch

Buzz Books 2017 is an amazing menu of the new books that will be released this spring and summer. Take a look yourself: Publishers Lunch has made this gorgeous list available for free at any major ebookstore or at buzz.publishersmarketplace.com.

It would take weeks for me to synopsize the hundreds of great books listed and excerpted in this Buzz Books for Spring/Summer, so I will focus on a few of the forthcoming books that I am anxious to read and review.

The Marsh King’s Daughter, by Karen Dionne (G.P. Putnam’s Sons). The protagonist, Helena Pelletier, has a great family and a successful business, but all of that is at risk when she learns that her father has escaped from prison. This father abducted and raped her mother when she was a teenager, then kept both mother and child prisoner for many years. With echoes of the Jaycee Dugan story, this novel appears to have much to say.

Soleri, by Michael Johnston (Tor). Michael Johnston promises an elaborate, vast story that is based both on ancient Egyptian history and King Lear, and that involves "a world of ancient and elaborate rites, of unseen power and kingdoms ravaged by war, where victory comes with a price, and every truth conceals a deeper secret."

The Mystery Knight: A Graphic Novel,
by Ben Avery (Adapter), George R. R. Martin (Author), (Bantam). Billed as prequel to The Game of Thrones, this book is sure to be a bestseller.

Come Sundown, by Nora Roberts( St. Martin’s Press). Nora Roberts has written another blockbuster of a stand alone novel. An aunt, long considered dead, suddenly appears at her family's ranch in Montana. Her appearance resurrects old mysteries, and her dark past seems to be the reason murders are being committed.

The Road to Jonestown: Jim Jones and Peoples Temple, by Jeff Guinn, (Simon & Schuster). The same author who wrote about Charles Manson now takes on Jim Jones, the man responsible for the Jonestown Massacre, which is still considered the largest murder-suicide in American history. I think this is a book that will challenge what we know about Jim Jones and cults in general.

The Velveteen Daughter: A Novel
by Laurel Davis Huber (She Writes Press). This novel is about Margery Williams Bianco, the author of The Velveteen Rabbit, and her daughter Pamela. Although fictionalized, it is based on a true story.

The Radium Girls: They paid with their lives. Their final fight was for justice, by Kate Moore (Sourcebooks). Although they were assured that radium was safe, many women who thought they were helping America in the WWI effort, lost their health and their lives. This is a story that is long overdue.

I'd Die For You: And Other Lost Stories
by F. Scott Fitzgerald (Author), Anne Margaret Daniel (Editor) (Scribner). Apparently, F. Scott Fitzgerald was not finished with society, and these new stories echoing his take on his wife and the social mores of the 1920s and 1930s, just might have a greater impact today than if they were published 80 years ago.

Dragon Teeth: A Novel , by Michael Crichton (Harper). Yes, you read that correctly. A new Michael Crichton novel has been recently discovered and it is being published posthumously. And it is about the Old West in 1876, and "two monomaniacal paleontologists [who] pillage the Wild West, hunting for dinosaur fossils, while surveilling, deceiving and sabotaging each other in a rivalry that will come to be known as the Bone Wars." This novel is sure to spark the interest of the millions of viewers who loved HBO's remake of Crichton's "Westworld."

Fallout: A V.I. Warshawski Novel (V.I. Warshawski Novels), by Sara Paretsky (William Morrow). V.I. Warshawski is back with a new case that will lead her and her dog "from her native Chicago... and into Kansas, on the trail of a vanished film student and a faded Hollywood star."

The Painted Queen: A Novel,
by Elizabeth Peters (Author), Joan Hess (Author) (William Morrow)
This is the final book in the wonderful mystery series involving Amelia Peabody and her archeologist husband, Radcliffe Emerson. In this installment, we travel back to Egypt in 1912, to search for a stolen bust of Queen Nefertiti.

Always exciting to see what's coming out and to add to that TBR list - there's usually something unexpected where the blurb doesn't call to me but the writing style grabs immediately so fabulous to get decent extracts as tasters.

Buzz Books 2017: Spring/Summer is yet another gift for those of us who read and write about it. The book is an incredible resource and I thank all those who worked to produce such a great edition.

Fantastic mixture of different genres and authors and writing styles!
Great lengths of samples to get a feel for the story without there being too much or too little of it to really see if it is something worth picking up. Just enough to get excited about without being too much to get crazy waiting for it!

As always very nicely done!

A great look at future books, I found one or two I might request.

This is SUCH a helpful tool for librarians! Especially helpful since Midwinter is coming up - let's me know what to keep an eye out for.

I really liked the selections in the Buzz Books 2017: Spring/Summer. There are a lot of interesting reads, organized by Fiction, Debut Fiction, and Nonfiction, that I can't wait to add to my ever-growing to-read list. I also really like the inclusion of excerpts so the reader is able to get a taste of what is to come!

Really awesome compilation of the new books coming out. Great summaries and a lovely way to work out which book to get next!

Very informative. I love having the descriptions for all the newest books in one place
