I downloaded this to read the preview of Sadie! I'm so excited for the release of this book! There has been so much buzz around it, the cover is beautiful, and I've heard great things about her past works. I will definitely be picking it up when it comes out.

I love being able to read the first chapters of upcoming books! Especially looking forward to The Gilded Wolves, Ignite the Stars, Girls of Paper and Fire, Shadow of a Fox and Mammoth. Keep the Buzz Books coming!

The stories in this collection are extraordinary in their own right. The short narratives that are offered leave you wanting more! Buzz Books does a fantastic job curating the titles and short excerpts, just enough to peak your interest.
The topics range from living in a time of communism in East Germany to artifacts forged by God and used by men. They are told from first person and third person perspectives. Some stories use the technology of our time and others use technology which has never been seen in human history, except for in the imagination of the author.
Frankly, if you want a taste of some amazing books, this is what you want! It also lists some of the more noteworthy books that are coming out in young adult titles, both fiction and nonfiction, along with the publication dates.
This is an amazing reader's tool to help decide what to read next!

I'm super pumped for almost all of these books; these excerpts just intensified this feeling. This was super handy because now I get to decide which books I want to read right as they release!

I was trying to write a post about the books I'm most excited for that come out in the second half of 2018 and I was stuck until I read this. These Buzz Books are a great way to keep up with all the books I need to put on my TBR!

This is an especially nice collection with a little bit of everything and some intriguing off-the-beaten path entries. Worth checking out.

This book is absolutely amazing! I have found so many books to read this year, and I was able to use the contact details to request some copies to review! I love the idea of a superproof like this!

I'm seeing a lot of titles here that I'm really looking forward to (and a few that I hadn't heard of yet, which always really exciting!) Mammoth sounded interesting based on the synopsis but, on reading the excerpt, I suspect it won't be my thing. The Gilded Wolves sounds intriguing, the style feels a little different from Roshani Chokshi's earlier books. The Similars has kind of caught my attention with the excerpt in a way it didn't with the synopsis alone, so that might be something I wind up checking out. I've been hit-and-miss with Julie Kagawa's work in the past but Shadow of the Fox has me more intrigued than I was expecting. A Spark of White Fire is a title new to me and it does sound interesting. Retellings in space are a trend I can seriously get behind, if it is, in fact, becoming a trend (The Lunar Chronicles, Heart of Iron...) Ignite the Stars honestly had me at the first sentence of the synopsis... I'm always intrigued y criminal masterminds. I'm of two minds about Girls of Paper and Fire... I think it might be a library read at some point...

I really liked getting a chance to peak at these! It sounds like it's going to be an interesting rest of 2018.

I really like that Buzz Books allows you to read excerpts from upcoming novels as it gives you a taste of the authors writing style, the fictional world it's set in, and more importantly the characters. This is the first time I've read a catalogue like this, and I'll definitely be looking for the next release by Publishers Lunch.

I really loved being able to get sneak peaks of some of my most anticipated reads of the year! It's good to get this early look at certain books so that you know what to request here on NetGalley and also what to buy for yourself.

I enjoy reading this every time it is published. I use the list in the front to search upcoming titles, and then I read the samples for the ones that sound good on Goodreads. Three caught my eye this time: When Elephants Fly, House With a Thousand Eyes, and Julie Kawaga (so?)’s new one.

A good insight into the upcoming Young Adult books coming out in the remainder of the year. I am personally looking forward to the Kody Keplinger one and the Courtney Summers one, plus the one titled Mammoth.

This is a great book to see what YA titles are being release soon. It included a lot of great titles. You'll definitely be adding to your TBR pile!

These excerpts were excellent reads and made me even more excited for all the upcoming books for the rest of the year!

Great collection of upcoming YA novels - looking especially forward to That's Not What Happened, The Similars and Gilded Wolves.

Buzz Books is great because I can preview some of my most anticipated YA releases, as well as learn about some new titles I hadn't heard of yet. As a blogger/review with limited time, a compiled list of books like this is a huge help when determining what books I should pay attention to in the upcoming months!

Quite a useful collection of excerpts, I love the idea of the seasonal Buzz Books. I skipped a few chapters as I was not even remotely interested in some of the more supernatural/fantasy ones. The book I will definitely read as soon as possible is White as Silence, Red as Song. I am also interested in The Similars and When Elephants Fly.

A nice, succinct summary. I wish that the Kindle edition had book covers (not sure if the official version does or not?) - it would help to separate out all of the text and better see what is being released.
