I love getting to see some of the top books that are coming out, as well as a list of the top authors from all the publishers.
Being a book blogger of YA books can get a little complicated at times and having this book with previews makes my choice on some books so much easier to make.

I am so excited to read Sky in the Deep still and several others as well that have already been released.

This offers a memorable glimpse into what's to come in publishing within the next few months!

This preview of 12 books coming out this Spring and Summer was a delight! I did skip a couple of the previews because they were sequels to books I have not yet read and I didn't want to ruin the first book.

Fawkes by Nadine Brandes: I have had this Young Adult book on my TBR since I first heard about it. I also just recieved the full ARC and can't wait to read it! This is the story of Guy Fawkes son, and magic. The magic system is based on colors and masks and after reading this excerpt I have a lot of questions! However, I am confident based on the quality writing that my questions will be answered in this book. The characters are intriguing and the quest that the main character begins seems like it will take us for a wild ride. Definitely worth looking into if you like magic mixed with family dynamics.

The Boy from Tomorrow by Camille DeAngelis: This middle grade book tells the story of two children living in the same home years apart. Connected through a magic "talking board" (think Oiuja board) the two children begin to communicate. From this sample, it seems that they are both going to struggle with difficult lives but it is not yet clear what their battles will be. I think that this book had a slow beginning, but has the potential to create a great story.

Brightly Burning by Alexa Donne: A loose retelling of Jane Eyre? I'm there! I'm not usually into science fiction, but this YA sci-fi intrigued me. The main character is on a spaceship above a frozen planet Earth, and that ship is failing fast. She is an engineer, but wishes to be a teacher and she is reaching out for jobs including one of a private ship The Rochester. I think I see where this is going! The writing was good and the situation was an imaginative one with class issues, romance issues, and the small issue of surviving life until the Earth can be inhabited again.

Unbreakable by Sara Ella: I didn't read this one because it was the third book and I haven't read the first two.

Legendary by Stephanie Garber: Yes! This is one of my most anticipated books of 2018 because I have just read Caraval and loved it! This second book in the duology is told from a different character than the first book. The sample of the book is a decidedly different voice, but still creating a rich imaginative world with imagery that draws the reader in and makes you want to follow the next adventure in the world of Caraval.

Chemistry Lesson by Meredith Goldstein: This Young Adult novel is a romance, with science... I wasn't sure this would be something I would enjoy. However, the idea of a girl with a breakup and a brain? That sounded good! The fact that it is set in Boston, a city close to my heart also helped. I am looking forward to reading the whole book and seeing if Maya and her MIT brain can solve the mystery of herself which will use much more heart than math.

Orphan Monster Spy by Matt Killeen: Another much anticipated book on my TBR! While the sample shows a devastated event in our main characters life, in the short bit that we read it also shows us a strong girl who is resourceful and willing to do what she needs to in order to survive. Surviving as a Jewish girl in 1939 Germany is not an easy task, but with her mother's voice to guide her she is going to take on a mission to save others like her. I will definitely be reading the whole book and think everyone should see how successful this mission is.

Furyborn by Claire Legrand: A majorly hyped book, and I haven't read enough to say it isn't worthy of the hype but I will say I wasn't super impressed. There was fire, and angels, and a baby? And travel by threads? This is definitely a complex world being created and there are two separate storylines so I'm sure things will pan out... however, I don't think this is one I will be picking up.

Twelve Steps to Normal by Farrah Penn: I have read a ton of mother/daughter stories but this is a story of a teenage girl and her alcoholic father. Well, former alcoholic father who is out of rehab and she is heading back home to live with him and not looking forward to it. She doubts his ability to stay sober, has lost her boyfriend while she was away living with an aunt, and doesn't have a great outlook on life. That is all I saw in the preview, but I would like to read more and see if her father can help her and if she receives any more mugs.

Frat Girl by Kiley Roache: Another book about a smart young girl? Yep! I like it. In order to win a scholarship to a prestigious school our main character must come up with a humanities project. Her idea is to join a frat that is on probation for being sexist and write an expose on how true that is. I can only imagine that things will not turn out the way she suspects and there will be a boy involved. The character was so likable and the premise interesting enough that I am eager to read the whole book.

Reclaiming Shilo Snow: a sequel to a book I hadn't read

Sky in the Deep by Adrienne Young: Vikings? Female vikings? She runs into her 'dead' brother on the battlefield? I mean, sure? I don't know... the sample was just a battle scene and it is hard to tell what the whole story will become from there. I don't recommend or not recommend, but if it sounds like your thing you should give it a chance!

Great list! Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to read many of these.

Thanks for letting me read this. I am not sure a link is appropriate for this type of book.

Excellent Young Adult titles in this edition of Buzz Books.

A great look at upcoming titles. I look forward to reading the Buzz Books selection every season!

I love Buzz Books. So many titles to look forward to and I'm very excited for the new Stephanie Garber book.

I love these books. I enjoy seeing what is upcoming in the book world!

A good selection of YA coming out in the Spring/Summer 2018 cannot wait to read Furyborn by Claire LeGrand

These guides are a great help to me but a detriment to my ever growing TBR. The info on books is a definitely help for me.

A good buzzy list of upcoming titles! I was glad to see Boy From Tomorrow. I've been seeing a lot of buzz and feel confident about recommending it to readers here. Perfect, fun-size bits spanning genres.

I love getting these - thank you! I always appreciate knowing what new books are getting the best buzz, and in particular which YA books are. Looking forward to a few!

So many great previews of some new releases coming out this summer. I'm especially anxious for Furyborn and Sky in the Deep. Viking fantasy? GIMME!

Totally loved this teaser of upcoming YA stories. I loved reading ORPHAN SPY MONSTER so much I ended up preordering a copy! And of course I want to read SKY IN THE DEEP. I've been hearing some amazing things about that book!

That you to Publishers Lunch and NetGalley for allowing us a preview of books coming soon. There are some great picks here to add to my tbr list!

A nice guide to the upcoming releases of the year. Some great ideas of the novels to come and what people are excited for.

I always make sure to grab these when they come out, because not only do you get to see what is coming out, but you get a sneak peek into the books. I feel they truly give you a good enough sample where by the end of it you know whether or not that is a book you want to invest your time and money into. If you usually don't get these, I highly recommend you start.

It seems my TBR is about to get even bigger! With titles such as Legend, Fawkes and Furyborn, among many others, spring/summer 2018 seems all set to be another great season for YA.

Loved this sampler and the great array of books it included. I especially loved Furyborn and Sky in the Deep, and will be adding them to my TBR.
