I'm a big Young Adult (YA) fan. I never know what books are coming up and I'm always having problems saving the funds for a book I have to have. This is great for those who want to plan ahead. You get a snippet of the book and you get to see the prices. If the book wasn't what you were hoping, you don't feel upset after purchasing the book. Great to have.

I love this edition of buzz books! It has several titles that I know, I will need to read because the excerpts were so intriguing.

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 (especially teens!) like to talk to me about them anyway, and these samplers make me more conversant on a number of different titles.

I always love to read literature about upcoming, not-to-missed titles, whether it's from the publisher, peer journals, email, etc. in order to provide an important aspect of customer service.

So many exciting titles to look forward to. It is always a joy to get the latest installment of Buzz Books to see whats coming out. I am particularly looking forward to the Jen Lancaster book and also some of the Sci-fi books were interesting despite it not being a genre I go for much. I guess that's the whole point of Buzz books.

Really great taster of the novels to come in the future

This is a good book that gives you some samples of books to come. After reading the samples, though, there was no books I wanted. I'm not saying it's a bad book, it's just not for me.

Highly informative! I was lucky enough to get my hands on an advanced copy of Girls Made of Snow and Glass and let me tell you, it is the best fairy tale retelling ever. Fight me on it! Lol.
Seriously, read it. It was beautiful.
As for the others I look forward to the Gatekeepers, and All Rights Reserved the most. As a huge book nerd and lover of all arts and entertainment, honestly I will read them all and feel lucky for having had the privilege to do so. Thanks again NetGalley for the opportunity to get a glimpse of things to come.

Requested Buzz Books to see what new titles are emerging in the YA market. Although a book written in poetic verse is not something I would normally be drawn to, Kwame Alexander's Solo both intrigued and lured me in to the story of Blade Morrison, the 17 year old main character. The excerpt available introduced you to his addiction riddled father Rutherford, girlfriend, and worries for his Mom, in a way that made you skip through the pages without realising & Solo is a title I will certainly be looking out for.
In a totally different vein, Melissa Bashardoust's Girls Made Of Snow And Glass is described as a feminist retelling of The Snow White fairytale, but is by no means predictable. You are first introduced to Lynet, a young princess living in a castle, observing co.ings and goings and avoiding her music lessons like children are want to do, before Mina, a magician's daughter who goes on to be Lynet's stepmother enters the story. Her heart of glass was an unexpected twist to the description of her father Gregory's laboratory and made me seek to purchase the full book.
Unusually for me, The House at 758 by Kathryn Berla was something I just could not engage with. The early desceiption building up to Krista's attempts to deal with her father moving his new girlfriend in just weren't drawing me in.

Always a great guide to upcoming new releases! My only complain is that most books in this are kinda hyped, I wish there was more diversity.
