A good array of excerpts from different genres. I hadn't heard about The Inmortalists by Cloe Benjamin before, but will likely be seeking it out sometime in 2018 despite it not being something I would normally read - the excerpt was intriging and I find myself wanting to know more. I had heard some chatter about Everless by Sara Holland and enjoyed the except. Before I Let Go looks like an emotional read, and a very atmospheric one for winter reading being set in dark, snowy Alaska, but I am still unsure as to whether I will read it or not, simply because I don't necessarily want to read about a dead teenage girl (or the implications that she was murdered).

Another excellent edition of Buzz Books with excerpts from some fabulous upcoming books. I never miss an edition of this catalogue, and you shouldn't either!

To all netgalley reviewers this monthly buzz book was an eye opener. The trouble is if you love books there is a real danger you’ll like and want all the books previewed and introduced here.
I already had one book chosen and the passage I read only whetted my appitite further and I can not wait.

I love Buzz Books. I think it is a great way for book lovers to find new books to read, discover new authors.
The monthly version was a lot of lists. Still interesting, but honestly I ended up skipping the last couple. Too many lists for me. I would have preferred less of them, but more details and summaries to the books.
I love the excerpt section, as always. And there are several books that I am anticipating to read now.
I personally might prefer the seasonal buzz- then again so many good books, so probably going to check out the February BB or other monthly issues as well.

A great selection of excerpts and a worthy list of Buzzing reads. I'm SO excited for The Woman in the Window.

These selections are always great, but I feel like this one stood out even from the other Buzz Books I've read - I didn't have many books for next year that I was excited about yet, but now I definitely do! The option to request/read straight from the excerpt is always appreciated, too.

Oh, yes, this was good. Individual thoughts on each chapter below:

The Immortalists— this one has been on my list forever and sounds supremely exciting. loved the writing and nostalgic tone.

The Black Painting— I feel as if I should've liked this more than I did. A full read-through would definitely give me firmer opinions, but I honestly don't think I'll bother; I'm super picky with my adult thrillers.

The Woman in the Window— first of all, what. and second of all, where can I buy this? that was such a well-written first chapter and I'm adding to my list immediately.

The Girlfriend— this one could be good, but honestly, nothing about this opening really grabbed me. Feels more domestic drama than thriller, somehow, although perhaps I'm wrong.

Everything Here is Beautiful— this was definitely intriguing, although I'm unsure if it's something I plan on picking up myself.

Before I Let Go— I actually skipped this one as I've already read it. While I adored Nijkamp's debut, this book was a big disappointment and felt very emotionally manipulative.

Everless— Made me even more excited for the release than I was before. Damn, this read so well.

January's collection puts forward a varied and stellar collection of excerpts. I will be personally keeping an excited eye out both The Immortalists and Before I Let Go, which I found particularly intriguing.

I always love when this pops up in the books to request. I always find some great things in these. My only issue is that my Want to Read shelf on Goodreads is going to explode.

Once again a great lineup of forthcoming books. Some wonderful new Authors with interesting plots to get your teeth into.

These are such a good resource for finding books I wouldn't normally reach for on my own.

So many great books to look forward to in 2018. I’m especially looking forward to The Woman In The Window by A J Finn. Sounds intriguing.

Brilliant way to find new books and authors. Also sampling the first chapter helps to decide what books to request.
