Member Reviews

There are going to be a lot of good releases this upcoming fall/winter 2018, in the realm of both fiction and nonfiction. I am especially excited for several, including Hiro Arikawa's The Travelling Cat Chronicles (which looks to be both sweet and heartbreaking), Sarah Bird's Daughter of a Daughter of a Queen (which was already on my TBR list), Stuart Turton's The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle (which looks to be thrilling and exciting). Can't wait to read these titles - and more!

Thank you for making this available. It's a great resource when trying to decide which galleys to download for the coming months.

Wow. Lots of reading here. I've been reading most of the afternoon and though I got through quite a few of the excerpts (the ones I thought would appeal to me), I'm not even halfway through!

Being in the UK some of them might not be available to me (at an affordable cost) when they are published but there are a few I will look out for.

I've enjoyed a few Diane Chamberlain books in the past and I'm sure The Dream Daughter will be on my list.

I was intrigued by Daughter of a Daughter of a Queen but I'm not sure when or if that will be published in the UK. I do hope it will be. I think I would also like to read The Boy at the Keyhole. I'll need to look out for news of that one.

I don't often read short stories but there was something about the Friday Black excerpt that made me want to read more despite the fact it is a kind of horrific tale.of consumerism at it's worst.

No doubt over the next week I'll find many more titles to look out for. Thank you.

Thank you so much for posting these to look through. It introduces me to books I may not pick up before and gives me a chance to get a taste for what's to come later this year. It gets me so excited! I wouldn't have known about these otherwise.

Another release full of great excepts and information. You honestly cannot go wrong giving this a read. I love being able to use the excerpts to decide whether to pursue a book in the future as you don't always know from the synopsis alone. Genuinely, a resource I would miss were it to stop!

Thank you for an ARC of this Buzz Book in return for my honest review .

I have been trying not to add anything else to my reading wish list on NetGalley but this Buzzbook just ruined that notion entirely! I highly recommend this read as a great sampler of soon to be realised books covering a number of genres. I am very excited by a number of the excerpts and very grateful for the samples of each book provided . I can’t wait to start reading some of these and to see the next seasons Buzzboosks.

Buzz Books 2018 has 2 components - each of which make it invaluable, perhaps for different audiences, but I'm sure the Venn diagram of readers interested in both shows a significant cross-section of readers. The first component of Buzz Books 2018 is a fall-winter publishing preview, with release dates, of: (a) certain literary fiction, with sublists for "highly anticipated" and emerging voices, (b) debut fiction, (c) commercial fiction, and (d) certain nonfiction, with sublists for politics & current events, social issues, science and technology, history and crime, essays criticism and more, As someone who follows most anticipated lists closely, I still augmented my TBR by at least ten titles I hadn't known were scheduled for 2018 release, thanks to this publication. No, it's not a comprehensive list of all pubs, but it is broad and deep, nonetheless.

Second, Buzz Books 2018 (Fall & Winter) includes excerpts from a range of anticipated publications, including the following: Arikawa's The Travelling Cat Chronicles, Deveraux's A Willing Murder, Kingsolver's Unsheltered (my favorite), Mosley's John Woman, Adjei-Brenyah's Friday Black, Kochai's 99 Nights in Logar, and Carter's Invisible: The Forgotten Story of the Black, Woman Lawyer Who Took Down America's Most Powerful Mobster. Read what interests you; skip those that don't. In any event, Buzz Books 2018 (Fall and Winter) is worth perusing for all readers interested in upcoming releases.

For some of the books to be published in the Fall / Winter of 2018, there are brief excerpts included – similar to what you would get if you had a kindle “sample” of a book.

For the full list and to read these excerpts - you can download the free edition of this book from all major ebookstores or from

I could not get over the amount of books previewed in this book. So many great books to look forward to reading! Definitely helping me get my TBR titles together! I highly recommend!

This was quite a comprehensive preview of many amazing novels that I look forward to researching, sharing, and reading. If you are an avid reader, this guide will help you select many diverse new books to add to your reading list.

I love the Buzz Books previews since they give me a great idea of books I may want to review, or have reviewed, in a later season. It's great to have fairly lengthy excerpts of a few chapters to get an idea of the author's writing style and what the book is about. Thanks for listing the publicist's name and email at the end of each. As a librarian who selects popular materials, I'm also appreciative of the opportunity to preview the books our patrons will be asking about in the fall.

This is my first buzz book and I like all the peeks at different books coming out! I am excited to check out Lies by TM Logan and Sarah Pinborough's upcoming book!

Was this review helpful?

Great selection of books! I enjoy finding about the debut authors especially as they can sometimes get lost in the midst of new releases. Nice length for the excepts too, not so long that you feel like you’ve read the whole book but long enough to decide if you would like to know more.

This is a whopping-size, great collection of excerpts of upcoming and highly-anticipated books for the Fall/Winter of 2018.

The publication contains an introduction followed by a section with a list of fiction books noted "The Notables", "Highly Anticipated", "Emerging Voices", "Debut Fiction", "Commercial Fiction", and Nonfiction. After that there is a section with the book excerpts. Each book excerpt contains the book cover, a brief summary of the book, the excerpt, and information about the author.

I particularly enjoyed the excerpts for DAUGHTER OF A DAUGHTER OF A QUEEN by Sarah Bird. There are other excerpts and I wish I could print the one I'm interested in but that feature is not available for this publication.

Overall, this is an excellent list of buzzing titles for the Fall/Winter season of 2018.

So many great titles coming out. Clear my schedule! I've added the 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle and The Dinner List to the top of my list.

As always, thank you for allowing me to glimpse the books for next fall/winter.

I always appreciate seeing what my favorite authors are writing and the new authors to watch for.

I've spent my evening going through the most recent Buzz Books, and this one in particular blew my reading stack to oblivion. At this point, I'll never dig my way out, but if you're going to be buried, under a pile of books seems most desirable, am I right? Without this edition, I might not know about Eli Weisel's biography coming out! Now I have it to read, and I couldn't be more thrilled (Eli Weisel, people!!!). And as usual, the excerpts were so helpful in guiding me towards the books that would be a good fit for me. Thanks again, Buzz Books!

Holy cow!! Fall and winter can't get here fast enough! There are so many awesome books coming out then! I requested way too many from here and then wrote the rest down to look for later! What a great way to get a taste of what is coming up in books! Run and grab this wonderful collection of new books you are going to want to request just like me!
