I love the Buzz Books that Publishers Lunch releases every season. I always discover great titles that I have either heard of or am just discovering for the first time. It's a great resource to use.

I loved the chance to read these books. I have to say I mainly wanted Shelly Laurenston’s book but a few others peaked my interest. I loved Laurenston’s so much I hoped I got picked to read it early and thank goodness I got picked, I enjoyed Jane Feather’s book too. It’s been a while since I’ve read her but she’s a master of historical romance. I liked Say your sorry too. Very suspenseful and a page turner of epic proportions! The rest I couldn’t quite finish though. .

no comments on any of the specific picks proposed in this collection. It is a good idea to provide this compilation so keep doing it.

I love these sneak peek looks at books and teasers for what is to come. I am so stoked to see Judith McNaught is releasing a new book! I can only hope it is put up on NetGalley and when I request it I am honored with an approval. There are more treats in this compilation of teasers I never would have looked at twice but now am intrigued enough to give a second look at.

A great chance to read excerpts of upcoming books. There’s something for everyone in the group! I found some new authors and reconnected with a few old ones.

Nice little peek into upcoming books, but not every link works to request the titles. Maybe those titles will show up on Net galley at a later date.

I requested this because of the Shelly Laurenston excerpt, and now I’m banging my head against the table with frustration.

I don’t know why I would do something as stupid as reading an excerpt, when the release date is more than 7 months away.

Shelly Laurenston has this skill when it comes to writing funny violence with a dash of sarcasm. This excerpt had everything one would expect from one of her books, and I’m not afraid to admit that I sobbed a bit when the excerpt ended.

I can’t wait for Stevie’s story and March can’t come fast enough.

Appreciated the introduction by the authors and thoughtful collection of excerpts to review upcoming titles for fall 2018. Helpful in culling through various genres of romance books our readers may enjoy.

I liked. The way it was laid out. It was informative and easy to follow. I picked up an excerpt for Shelly Laurenston*s new book, In a Badger Way from Kensington. I absolutely love Shelly Laurenston/G. A. Aiken. I have read all of her books except one. After reading the excerpt, I decided to read and review, The Rancher by Kate Pearce from Zebra and I requested an Arc of Solace Island by Meg Tilly from Berkley. I look forward to reading and reviewing it if I am approved. Overall, Buzz Books 2018 had a wealth of information. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a new book.

This is great if you love contemporaries or suspense/romance. Kind of slim-pickings for us historical romance fans, though.

Awesome resource. I primarily read romance and this is a good way to get a feel for a new to me author's writing style and if the story is going to call to me. Love these Buzz Books.

This is an excellent idea. Trailers for more that one author’s newest releases! Gives you an idea regarding each new book and whether a person would enjoy reading.

My favorite was the snippet of "In a Badger Way". Stevie is one of my favorite book characters and When is so cute. I am really looking forward yo the full book.

Cute idea.. My favorite was the chapter or snippets of Intercepted b Alexa Martin. Definitely smart for readers who want a little more on upcoming books.

This continues to be a great tool for selecting new books. Three titles have been ordered for our library.

Great collection of teasers for upcoming romance titles. Loved the notes about each author. Added a few titles to my TBR list, so many books so little time...
