I always look forward to this list because it gives you amazing recommendations at a glance. It also gets you excited about the new and upcoming anticipated reads. With this list, I can plug in the dates into my planner, so I don't miss release dates.

As always, Buzz Books is chock-a-block full of fantastic reads from valued veterans, newbie debuts, and writers who for one reason or another haven't quite been on my radar. So many gems included in this collection, including a favorite writer of mine, T.C. Boyle.

Wonderfully helpful, as usual, in providing a sense of upcoming publications worthy of ‘buzz.’ There’s a new organization and look to this edition and it is quite nice. Regardless of how closely I track publishers information, Buzz Books really provide the inside track. I remain a huge fan.

I have many ways to find new books, but Buzz Books is the BEST of them all. When a new publication comes out, I always put everything on hold to devour them.

The 2019 Spring/Summer Preview makes me so excited for this year'. There are many books that I want to read, but I'm especially excited for The Escape Room by Megan Goldin, Carnegie Hill by Jonathan Vatner, The Better Sister by Alafair Burke, The Favorite Daughter by Kaira Rouda, and The Night Before by Wendy Walker. The excerpts are wonderful, and the summaries give a good context for what I am about to read. I just finished the excerpt for How Not To Die Alone by Richard Roper and it's now on my TBR.

Thank you Publishers Lunch for kicking off 2019 with this fabulous edition!

Another Book Buzz with a great collection of upcoming books! This issue listed several ARC’s that I have (waiting TBR), several more I’ve added to my TBR list and one that I was sadly declined for.

I’d love to see more book covers and excerpts! Mesmerized by the gorgeous cover of “Whisper Man”! Now I can’t wait to get my hands on it.

Thank you to NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for this digital ARC, in exchange for my honest review!

Oh my goodness! There are so many awesome books coming out this year! It's very hard not to hit the request link at the end of each snippet! Okay so I did request a few and wrote quite a few down to look for later on! This is a great way to get exposed to books you normally wouldn't read. This way you get a taste of the way the author writes and if you like it or not.

Another great selection of excerpts in this Spring/Summer Buzz Books 2019. There are so many that i hope to read in due course and i would, if i had my way, read the majority of them. The books that i would love to add to my shelf would be 'The Guest Book, The Last Time I saw You, A Nearly Normal Family, The Snakes, Deep River The Confessions of Frannie Langton and The Long Flight Home. There are others that i would also love to read, but all depends on whether i could squeeze another few books on to my ever growing pile of books.

Excerpts from fiction, fiction debut, and nonfiction titles for books coming out through the Spring/early, early part of Summer 2019. Lots of great titles to look forward to!

Ahh, welcome back Buzz Books! I really missed these issues over the winter period and wondered where they'd gone, so I'm happy they're back with a bang. Once again there is a strong selection of books here, and the excerpts certainly whet your appetite. You can never have too many books in your TBR pile so pick this up for guaranteed additions to your already wildly out of control mountain in the corner!

Many thanks to Publishers Lunch/Buzz Books for my copy.

Wonderful selections! I was already looking forward to Little Darlings and The Long Flight Home but now I have several more books to add to my TBR!

Love the wonderful suggestions from this NetGalley publication.
I wish there were more of them. Love adding to my tbr.

I'm not gonna lie, I've been wondering where the latest Buzz Books was hiding. It feels like eons since the last one came out, and I was starting to worry that there would be no more. But worry no more, the latest Buzz Books is here and it is huge. HUGE. So full of goodies, it feels like Christmas. There were several books that I requested because of the excerpts and even more that I put on lists because...no request link. :( That would be my singular complaint. It felt like there were quite a few that aren't currently requestable. But, I imagine they will be eventually, and now I know to keep my eye out.

As always, I consider Buzz Books a fantastic tool to help carve out my reading plans for the upcoming months. Hopefully the next issue won't be so far off!

Do not read this or any of the excerpts of so many exciting new titles due imminently for publication if you do not want to add as many as I have to my ‘to read’ list.

Some titles previously bypassed by me have been given a second glance and now been added to my reading pile..

Such an excellent little publication to help booksellers and book lovers to decide what fantastic books are out there on the radar.

I am excited about the newest Buzz Books! These collections of excerpts are such a great tool for me when planning which books to add to my tbr and feature on my blog. Some of the books featured in this collection were already on my radar such as The Guest Book, Little Darlings, and How Not to Die Alone. I am also now looking at several additional books such as The Girl He Used to Know. It looks like there are some great books hitting the shelves soon.

A fantastic way of taking a look at what’s new for the spring and summer . I always enjoy these as it’s a great way to make choices with being able to read excerpts, while I have some of the galleys, it was good to see the ones I missed. I also appreciate being able to request a title at the end of the excerpt.
Thanks so much for makthexs available.
