I always enjoy reading the new Book Buzz excerpts. It helps me to choose not only which Netgalley books to request but also which books I will be looking for for regular purchase. Thanks for this opportunity.

Great opportunity to read excerpts from upcoming titles. I enjoyed the opportunity to get a preview and also lists of all the anticipated new books for the upcoming seasons.

I am in love with this Buzz!! I have already dowloaded several titles, and added others to my wishlist!

Once again there are some amazing titles coming out....looks like its going to be a full on reading year :)

First time reading one of these buzz books but certainly won't be my last. Great to have a head's up on so many promising books to come. Was able to also earmark a few new ones from some of my favorite authors. Definitely recommend!

These collections never disappoint - 2018 looks like it's going to be another great year for books, and I love being able to request right from the sample.

As always, I love these catalogs! There are so many here that I'm excited about! Can't wait for these books to hit the shelf!

The best place to find the most exciting books to read in coming months.

As always, the spring/summer edition is a great introduction to upcoming fiction, debut fiction and nonfiction. I look forward to the Buzz guides to help me plan my next reading frenzy. Thank you for making this tool available to reviewers.

Always, always love receiving these previews of upcoming books. Another welcome chance to add to my reading list for the months ahead.

A wonderful collection of excerpts. I can not wait to read a bunch of these amazing books.

Fantastic resource of information, excerpts, and links for some amazing Spring/Summer titles from some fantastic authors! (Donlea, Higgins, Swanson, Williams). Thanks Publishers Lunch!

Lots of great books coming out soon! Thanks for the excerpts!

Always love these Buzz Books each year...I get so many recommendations. Great job!

I find the compilation of excerpts of upcoming books to be released from buzz books extremely helpful and informative.

This collection of 2018 Spring/Summer Buzz Books is THE.BEST.EVER. It has many captivating, interesting excerpts and a wide variety of books for every kind of audience and genre. The editors have a special knack for knowing what will be the next buzzy books of the season! I am especially looking forward to Our House by Louise Candlish, Good Luck with That by Kristan Higgins, How Hard Can it Be by Allison Pearson, All the Beautiful Lies by Peter Swanson, Sometimes I Lie by Alice Feeney, and The Perfect Mother by Aimee Molloy. I also LOVE the Spring/Summer 2018 Publishing Preview list. You can pretty much build your 2018 TBR list from these books – the best books are all there!

Thanks very much for making these Buzz Books guides available! This edition (like the others) has a great selection of titles to sample, and I'm looking forward to reading the full books. I also appreciate the NetGalley links at the end of the samples as well as the publicists' contact information.

Always great to look at these books. Of course, lots of fabulous reading ahead. I am especially looking forward to some of my favorites, like the new Beatriz Williams.

For those of you not familiar with Buzz Books, this collection gives you a glimpse of what will be on the shelves in the coming months. Some include a “sneak peek” type preview of the story, a “sample.” Others include just enough information to add it to your shelves. There is a separate book for each of the two annual books (Spring / Summer and Fall / Winter), as well as a separate book for those looking for Young Adult books.

Debut books include 11 “promising” debuts, including one debut fiction by a bestselling non-fiction writer, Aimee Molloy The Perfect Mother., a novel that has already been optioned for film by Kerry Washington (in case you’re interested, GoodReads is currently having a giveaway for this.) Featured debut authors include Luke Allnutt, Alice Feeney, Jane Rosenberg LaForget, and Zoje Stage.
Best-selling authors with new fiction include Kristan Higgins, Chris Offutt, Ottessa Moshfegh, and lots and lots of others.

In non-fiction, there are several memoirs, one about fighting in the Yemeni Civil War (Mohammed Al Samawi’s ”The Fox Hunt”), another about running away to the circus (Tessa Fontaine’s ”The Electric Woman”), one by Boston Globe’s ‘Love Letters’ columnist (Meredith Goldstein’s ”Can’t Help Myself”), another by a neuroscientist (Barbara Lipska, ”The Neuroscientist Who Lost Her Mind”), and yet another which is about a recently divorced, heartbroken veterinarian who connects with an orphaned baby hedgehog – a “life-affirming story of a man and his hedgehog” (Massimo Vacchetta’s - with Antonella Tomaselli – ”A Handful of Happiness”

This includes far too many others to go into, so I’d recommend you check it out yourself, but ones I’m hoping for a chance to read, or am curious about the ones that follow.

Julian Barnes, ”The only Story”
Lauren Groff, ”Florida”
Otessa Moshfegh, ”My Year of Rest and Relaxation”
Anna Quindlen, ”Alternate Side”
Curtis Sittenfeld, ”You think It, I’ll Say It”
Meg Wolitzer, ”The Female Persuasion”
