Wow! If this Buzz Books edition is any indication, there are a number of GREAT books coming this fall/winter! There’s bound to be something for everyone within these pages. I know my bookshelf is going to be sagging with all of the new editions I'm planning on adding. Of the 40 excerpts (yes, you read that right . . . 40!), these 12 caught my eye:

Fiction:
I’ll Stay - Karen Day
The Child Finder - Rene Denfeld
Lie to Me - J.T. Ellison
Hannah We Fell From The Sky - Christopher Meades
Little Fires Everywhere - Celeste Ng
The Black Painting - Neil Olson

Debut Fiction:
The Dark Lake - Sarah Bailey
Second Acts - Teri Emory
The Woman in the Window - A.J. Finn: I CAN’T WAIT! This might just be one of my most anticipated reads of the Fall!!
The Girlfriend - Michelle Frances
Good Me, Bad Me - by Ali Land

Nonfiction
Life Detonated - Kathleen Murray Moran

A little too heavy on commercial fiction for my tastes, though I'm very interested to check out Little Fires Everywhere and Sourdough (speaking of tastes).

Thanks for putting this together. Great compilation of upcoming books. I always appreciate these. I love that you include excerpts of a selections of books. I'm very excited for "Stay With Me" to come out!

I love getting Buzz Books and keeping up with new novels and books coming out during that season. A librarian's delight for reader's advisories and book clubs.

This book is a great preview of future books. With excerpts from the books, the reader can get an idea not only about the plot of the books but the writing style of the author's. This should be a great help to select books to read in full. Thanks NetGalley for the copy.

Fantastic roundup of all the autumn books. It was a great taster of things to come.

Not really sure this needs a review since it's just a run down of books that were coming out.

So many different books coming soon! Buzz Books is simply the best. Thank you, Publishers Lunch for making it easy for me.

I love getting to preview a lot of upcoming titles -- both to talk about them with library patrons and to decide what I want to read myself! As a librarian, I don't have time to read every new release but patrons like to talk to me about them anyway, and these samplers make me more conversant on a number of different titles.

What a great idea this is. Not all books I wanted to try were available for my country but still a great quick way to find something new to try.

Find time to sit down and read the 40 excerpts of fiction and nonfiction. I was excited about the book on Norway as it is not something I've seen. In fact this title is first of a trilogy! I also was fascinated about the nonfiction book titled Radium women. It's about an expose of working women who were posioned by radium paint in the 1920s. I could go on about each book but will leave it for you to discover titles you will want to read!

This is my favorite book that tells me about books that I might not know about. My reading list keeps getting longer as does my pile of books I have to read! I just can't stop reading Buzz books -- it even helps me to recommend books to friends and the book club I belong to.

I really love these samplers--usually--because it's a great way to find not only new books by authors I already like, but to find new books I might have otherwise not heard of.

This one was kind of a let down for me, though. I normally come out of reading one of these with anywhere from 5-15 books I've added to my TBR, or have made a note to look up after release. Of those, I buy a few (or, sometimes, almost all of them), and check out the rest from the library.

But with this one, I only came out of it with one book I definitely want to read (We're Going to Need More Wine: Stories That Are Funny, Complicated, and True by Gabrielle Union), and seven that I might be interested in, but almost certainly won't buy unless I find them used or on sale.

The others I'll probably look for at the library and such were Fever by Deon Meyer, Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng (this one I'll definitely keep an eye out for), The Black Painting by Neil Olsen, Sourdough by Robin Sloan, Stay with Me by Ayobami Adebayo, Seven Days of Us by Francesca Hornak, and The Inner Life of Animals: Love, Grief, and Compassion - Surprising Observations of a Hidden World by Peter Wohlleben. A few of those were on my radar before I read the excerpt, and I was hoping to be more excited by them, but I'm still on the fence.

So, I think these samplers are always very useful, and I love them in general, but this particular one didn't really have many books I'm interested in, and only one I'm looking forward to reading.

Great way to learn what books are on the horizon and to plan your reading list accordingly.

Thanks for the opportunity to check out some books that are coming out later this year.

Really like getting extracts of new books - often you can already decide after the first chapter if it is a book you are likely to like or not.
