A great glimpse of soon to be published books. Few of these I've heard of either on goodreads or bookstagram, but others I had not and am excited to read once they are available!

The buzz books are great, as they always include books by familiar authors, as well as debut novelists. I am always happy when an excerpt is offered before I choose a book. Thank you!

I do love the whole concept of these Buzz Books. They have lists of titles being released in the month - very useful - but they also include excerpts of books due to be published. It works on the same principle as Kindle samples but you get a lucky dip. As you usually don't know of these writers, you wouldn't know to read their work so it works well to expose you to new authors. I'll be following up on a few of these. Recommended if you're looking for some new ideas.

I was given a copy of the book by Netgalley in return for an honest review.

I look forward to each edition of Buzz Books. This time, I was already familiar with two of the novels: "The 7/12 Lives of Evelyn Hardcastle" and "The Dinner Party." I had not yet heard about "John Woman" and based on the Buzz Books preview, I want to know more!

This is my second of these, and I am quickly becoming addicted to them. I love that I can get an advanced look at upcoming books so I can update my lists and be ready for their releases; and yes, I do get that organized with my booklists! I also like being able to read excerpts, because it’s a good way to be introduced to new authors, or authors that other people rave about (I like to find out for myself without having to commit to an entire book). I did find it extremely interesting that there were a number of political nonfiction books on this list, releasing just in time for the midterm elections. Timing is everything. Judging from this list, and from what I’ve read elsewhere, I’m looking forward to several books, including Rebecca Serle’s “The Dinner List” and Jo Jakeman’s “The Exes’ Revenge.” The excerpt from Stuart Turton’s “The 7 ½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle” was enough to put that one on my list as well. But the one I am most excited about is “Time’s Convert” by Deborah Harkness. Her All Souls trilogy is one of my all-time favorites, and I can’t wait to read her latest. My only wish for this list is that more of the titles had a one or two sentence blurb to give a better idea of what each book is about. Other Buzz Books have been more detailed than this one. Still, at least it’s all in one place to give people someplace to start looking for their next read. Thank you to NetGalley for a digital copy in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you for the nice samples! I was especially looking forward to the Mermaid and Mrs. Hancock, but it seems The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle is worth checking out as well.

A: great way to learn about new books and read first chapters. I am particularly interested in reading "The Mermaid and Mrs. Hancock" by Imogen Hermes Gowar. It appears to be different from my usual reading and the writing in the first chapter is very good.

I love Buzz books as it gives you an idea of what you might need to read next. It’s like a trailer for books. I now know what I want to read next. Thanks NetGalley.

Another good preview of upcoming books. These have been a definite help to me in choosing titles to add to my ever growing TBR lists.
