Lots of great excerpts in here. Looking forward to reading quite a few! In particular, looking forward the Silent Patient.

This is my first time receiving Buzz Books. I’m so glad I have it! It makes it easier to choose what I want to read and now I can mark my calendar. It’s like having a personal secretary presenting me with books to read. All the research has been done for me.

I look forward to Buzz Books issues to give me an idea of books to anticipate in the coming season and to determine what I might want to read. This Fall/Winter issue is packed with intriguing reads and so much tlent. I can't wait! At first there is a listing of all Fiction and Non-Fiction books for the season - naturally the non-fiction is a small list compared to a huge listing of novels.

I already have copies of Dream Daughter by Diane Chamberlain, Melmoth by Sarah Perry, Virgil Wander by Leif Enger, and A Spark of Light by Jodi Picoult that I will be reading soon.

I have already read four great books for this season that I can recommend: Whiskey When We're Dry by John Larison, Ohio by Stephen Markley, The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton, and Lies by T. M. Logan. All are really good, but the last two are something special - I loved them both!

I see some favorite authors of mine have new offerings and I am anxious to read them all: Transcription by Kate Atkinson, Love Alive Twenty-Five by Janet Evanovich, The Witch Elm by Tana French, a new John Grisham and a new Liane Moriarty, Blood Communion by Anne Rice, and Elevation by Stephen King. I Cannot Wait!!

There were great excerpts of upcoming books that were all really very good. I found the excerpt from The Traveling Cat Chronicles by Hiro Arikawa absolutely charming and I have requested the full book. Becoming Mrs. Lewis by Patti Callahan looks really interesting and is based on C. S. Lewis' wife. Others I really think I would like are: Listen to the Marriage by John Jay Osborn, The Air You Breathe by Frances de Pontes Peebles, and John Woman by Walter Mosely.

Some debut novels I'd like to try from their excerpts are: Freefall by Jessica Barry, Family Trust by Kathy Wang, Alligator by Deb Spera, and The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides, and Little Comfort by Edwin Hill.
I'm so excited with this smorgasbord of great offerings!

Many thanks to Publishers Lunch BUZZ BOOKS through Netgalley for this great preview!

A great round up of upcoming releases, and a great way to keep track of buzzy new books! A book blogger must read.

I look forward to each Buzz Book installment; this is no exception.

I love seeing what will coming out in the future. I make my list. Added 22 new titles from this Buzz Book issue.
What I especially appreciate are the samples from titles I might not otherwise pick up. For example, "The Traveling Cat Chronicles". I read this excerpt one night when I couldn't sleep. It was just enough to captivate and hook me. Now that title is on my list for Fall.

Ditto for "Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and, a Mother's Will to Survive" I've got to read the rest of her story.

Thank you for these little appetizers of books to come. I'm ready for the main dish!

This was my first Buzz Books and what an amazing opportunity to read snippets of upcoming books for Fall/Winter 2018.
It is broken down into two sections. The first section of Buzz books is a preview that includes the release dates of Fiction and Non-Fiction works. Fictional works are broken down in the following categories; Highly Anticipated, Emerging Voices, Debut, and Commercial. Nonfiction works are dissected into the following categories; Politics and Current events, Social Issues, Science and Technology, History and Crime, Essays, Criticism and More, and Biography and Memoir.
Section two allows readers to read excerpts from a range of some of the most anticipated books of 2018. Featured excerpts include "The Travelling Cat Chronicles" by Hiro Arikawa, SarahBird's, "Daughter of a Daughter of a Queen", "Becoming Mrs. Lewis" by New York Times bestselling author Patti Callahan, Diane Chamberlain's, "the Dream Daughter", and Jude Deveraux's, "A Willing Murder."
Those are just the first five excerpts to read. The list continues with readings from authors, Lief Enger, Lisa Gabrielle, Stephen Giles, Lynne Hugo and best selling author, Barbara Kingsolver.
Sarah Perry's follow up to The Essex Serpent, "Melmoth", is debuted here giving us the feeling of a kid counting down the days until Christmas. Luckily we only have to wait until October for the entire book.
There are thrillers, historical fiction and just some really good books that don't need categorizing to wet our appetites.
Buzz Books is a blessing and a curse for some many of us bibliophiles. There are so many good books to read and so little time as our book list is growing all the time.
I received a copy of this from Netgalley. #Netgalley #BuzzBooks

Wow! Such a large variety of upcoming books that look very interesting. I’ve added quite a few to my GoodReads list and had friends and followers add them, as well!

My first Buzz Book...super great! Love all the excerpts in one place! Having the covers on hand grabs my attention (which I really dig) and Netzgalley direct is super handy & helpful.

Always such a big help in identifying books to keep an eye on! Really looking forward to some of these. I use this to help write some future blog post. I also try and keep my number at 80% so I think it's important to send feedback for everything.

Great recommendations! I really love to read the excerpts from BuzzBooks!! It's very helpful to have a list of books that will be published in the following months so I can decide which books to request on NetGalley.
