Buzz Books are so helpful! It's a great way to get an idea of what some of the hit new titles are going to be, and when they'll be published. As a librarian this helps me make purchasing decisions.

It is so fun to see what we have to look forward for books on deck to be released in the Spring & Summer of 2019! I am thrilled to be a member of NetGalley who gives us such an excellent sneak peek at upcoming titles of various genres! Excerpts from fiction, fiction debut, and nonfiction genres…and great ones to boot! Lots of great reading to come!

I love the Buzz.. it gives me enough insight into titles to hand sell them or search for the ARC and make them my staff picks. This is one of my favorite sales tools!

This compilation was extensive and well designed. I found more than enough books to add to my wish list, and am now anticipating even more upcoming releases as we head into spring. If you're always wondering where to find out about new books, this is a great resource.

Buzz Books 2019 is a list of Adult books that will be released in the Spring and Summer of 2019. There is a separate book for YA titles. The sections break down Fiction books, Debut novels and also Non-Fiction. Beware, this book will be dangerous to your TBR list! You will find a picture of the book cover, a synopsis of the book then a sample of the book to read, and lastly it provides details about the author and release information. Highly recommended for anyone who loves books and wants to be the first to know what they have to look forward to in the upcoming seasons.

I've really enjoyed perusing this, and adding more books to be To Be Read list. I appreciate the opportunity to dive into the books further before either requesting them as ARCs, or just putting them on my Hold list at the library.

I've heard excellent things about the Buzz Books Collection. This is the first time I've viewed one for myself and it definitely lives up to the hype! An outstanding collection of excerpts that will give you a substantial peek at so many upcoming books. I will be requesting the Buzz Books Collection whenever I see one available!

Warning: this collection will not help reduce your TBR stack!! Proceed with caution unless you want to add multiple books to your TBR!

I love looking through the Buzzbook. It is a good way to find books that you wouldn't normally consider reading. It's nice to consider different genres of books. A real help in deciding which books you will definitely read!

I requested this Spring’s Buzz Books in order to facilitate my work with a book festival. But, as a blogger, I may pick these up in the future to help screen my requests.

Buzz Books is the best compilation of upcoming books for both fiction and nonfiction. It represents a wide variety of publishers. Lots of great titles coming this spring and summer, especially in the nonfiction arena. Buzz Books is also really helpful for identifying overall trends in the book market. For example, there are a lot of strong female voices in this edition.

Can't wait for Spring Break! Summer beach trips will be great as well. So many exciting books coming out in the next few months that reading will be a priority. So excited to FINALLY see J. Ryan Stradal coming out with his new book. It's going to be a great mid-2019.

I love it when a new Buzz Books issues comes out! Previewing the new books to be published tells me what to request to read on Netgalley and what to look for in the bookstore. I like have lists of all the books coming out and then excerpts of some of the highlight. I have read some of the books already, but I still found quite a few to request from Netgalley. I have some on my shelf ready to be read. It looks like it's going to be a good book season!

Thanks to Publishers Lunch BUZZ BOOKS through Netgalley for a copy. As always, I will look forward to the next issue.
