I love seeing these pop up because it gives me a chance to add to my TBR lists, which seem to keep getting longer and longer!  From this edition, I am definitely looking forward to Diane Chamberlain’s “Dream Daughter,” especially after reading the excerpt. St. Martin’s Press has become one of my favorite publishers.  “The Witch Elm” by Tana French also looks very intriguing.  I’ve been fortunate to receive a few others (including J.R. Ward’s “Consumed”) as ARCs, so I’ll look forward to being able to recommend them to friends.  In nonfiction, Michael Caine’s book is definitely one I want on my list; I like just about everything he’s ever appeared in.  I also appreciated the “week by week” release list so I can budget my purchases  :-)   Thank you to NetGalley for a digital copy in exchange for an honest review.

Really enjoyed this group of excerpts.  Especially appreciate The Winters by Lisa Gabriele which is reminiscent of Daphne duMaurier’s Rebecca.  Thank you for publishing Book Buzz!

I really enjoy these monthly excerpts of new books coming out. It’s made me add many books to my TBR shelf that I may not have added otherwise.

Thank you to Publishes Lunch and NetGalley for providing a digital copy in exchange for an honest review.

This is an amazing resource for all book bloggers, librarians, booksellers,  and teachers alike. I ensure I grab this everytime the new edition is released. It helps me to see what books anticipated and even has some wonderful excerpts. Do not let this fantastic resource pass you by. Make sure you grab it while you can, be prepared for what will grace our bookish world next!

As always Buzz Books Monthly is a fantastic way to discover what's next in publishing. Lisa Gabriele's "The Winters" had slipped my radar, but when I saw that it is a reimagining of "Rebecca", I am extremely interested!

Not a review of a book but this is an excellent summary of upcoming buzzy books for the month of October, 2018.

This is the first time I've used the Buzz books monthly but I will be using it again, very handy for letting us know what's coming and I've requested a book that I read an excerpt of, that I maybe wouldn't have requested before. 
Thank you for putting these out there

How come I’ve never heard of this type of books before?!  This is absolute genius!! I’m getting this every month like a magazine subscription.  It has a list of all those wonderful books ready to be published for October.  Imagine my delight when I recognized some of the books and read some also!  There are some excerpts from about 5 or 6 books to give you an idea what the books are like.  All of them are great!  This is should be a monthly bible every month for hardcore readers out there who’s afraid of missing any book coming out like me.  I wonder if there’s a word for that?😉. I know I love it and will start getting it them every single month!!

Bridge of Clay by Markus Zusak as The Book Thief is one of my all time favourite novels.

Dream Daughter by Diane Chamberlain 

The Rain Watcher by Tatiana de Rosnay 

Winter in Paradise by Elin Hilderbrand

A Spark of Light by Jodi Picoult

The Clockmaker’s Daughter by Kate Morton

I love these monthly Buzz Books!  This is such a great tool to use when deciding which books to feature on my blog.  I usually find a book or two to add to my personal tbr pile as well.  I do want to read Virgil Wander by Leif Enger after reading the excerpt.

I always look forward to the day when the next Buzz Books Monthly is published! There is no better way to learn about the books that I will want to read. October’s issue includes excerpts from The Traveling Cat Chronicles along with new books by Diane Chamberlain and Leif Enger. There is also an excerpt from The Winters and yes, it is Rebecca based and also excerpts from new novels by Barbara Kingsolver and Sarah Perry, author of The Essex Serpent. And…if that’s not enough, there are also listings of books to be published. I will be looking for new books by Elly Griffiths, Elin Hiderbrand, Jan Karon and Kate Morton, among others. Brene Brown also has a new release. It is going to be a great reading season! Thanks for keeping me up to date Book Buzz.

This comprehensive list of books coming out in October is a great way to find your next read or make selections for a book club. As usual, my TBR list has been increased! 

I love reading excerpts from books I wouldn’t normally pay attention to—and I usually end up reading several—such as The Dream Daughter.  

Thank you NetGalley, for these wonderful previews!

This is extremely enticing and helpful for seeing what is being released come October. It helped me build anticipation and the desire to want to find some of these books and read them.

I always devour these Buzz Books as soon as they are available.  What an awesome way to get exposed to books you wouldn't normally look at.  I requested one and wrote the rest down in my notebook to get later on.  I love this idea of reading snippets of stories to see if you like the writing and the book.

The Buzz Books monthly is an invaluable resource, with excerpts of upcoming books to tempt us with. I'm especially looking forward to "The Dream Daughter" by Diane Chamberlain and "The Travelling Cat Chronicles" by Hiro Arikawa, previews of which are included in this mouthwatering selection. Can't wait!

My thanks to NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for a  copy to read and review.
