Time for a new BuzzBooks Monthly! The shortest month has a long list of new books coming out. 7 books are listed under "Extra Attention" as well as lists for literary favorites and emerging talents, debut fiction, commercial fiction and non-fiction. Titles are also arranged in week by week release lists. Also included are 3 excerpts originally published in earlier BuzzBooks: The Kings of Big Spring by Bryan Mealer, Rosie Colored Glasses by Brianna Wolfson and Your One & Only by Adrianne Finlay. There is also a bonus excerpt of The Sea Beast Takes a Lover: Stories by Michael Andreasen. As usual, this guide is a must for avid readers of all types.

Love seeing Buzz Books Monthly. I wasn't particularly drawn to any of the titles in this month's, but I do love seeing what's upcoming and new for the month!

This is a great collection of excerpts of upcoming books for the month of February 2018.

It contains an introduction followed by a section with a list of "Literary Favorites and Emerging Talents", debut fiction, commercial fiction, and nonfiction titles. Then it has a section of "Week by Week" title releases and at the end some book excerpts that were originally published in Buzz Books 2017: Fall/Winter and Buzz Books 2017: Young Adult Fall/Winter. I particularly enjoyed the excerpt for ROSIE COLORED GLASSES by Brianna Wolfson.

Overall, a great list of buzzing titles for the month of February 2018.

I will most definitely read some of the books in this list. However, I'd have chosen other samples for the end, if I had full reign over all the contents, e.g. Ali Smith's book. However, this is not the case, and as such, I will be happy for all I can get.

Once again some great new books to delve into. I love how I can read an excerpt and gauge whether any of these books will appeal to me for review. Thanks Netgalley.

Only four books in this monthly addition but still an awesome way for readers to be exposed to books they normally wouldn't read. I'm so excited to read Rosie Colored Glasses.

**I enjoy reading these 'Buzz Books' titles very much. It helps me get a feel for the next month's new releases, purchase or request any books I am interested in but do not already have, and create my TBR list for that month. Very useful tool for readers and reviewers.

This is a really great resource! It has exact release dates and pretty chunky book excerpts (not just 1 chapter. They are at least two). I will definitely get future editions.

This is a great resource of what is being released in February. I wish it had short synopses after each title rather than just a list. The excerpts are a nice offering as well.

Though I say it every time, it bears repeating: Buzz Books Monthly is something I look forward to every month. It is so useful in so many ways, starting with helping me prioritize the galleys I already have, and bringing other books to my attention that I somehow missed.

I love Buzz Books Monthly, and the February 2018 is no exception. I love getting a sense of what books are going to be released next month, including two excerpts that sound particularly fascinating: Brianna Wolfson's Rosie Colored Glasses and a bonus excerpt of Michael Andreasen's The Sea Beast Takes a Lover: Stories. Also featured is Bryan Mealer's nonfiction The Kings of Big Spring: God, Oil, and One Family's Search for the American Dream as well as Adrianne Finlay's YA Sci-Fi Dystopian Your One & Only.
