What a great collection of YA titles coming this Spring/Summer. I already have added notes and titles to my TBR that I am most excited to read. I am wanting to reach out more to YA this year so this was a very helpful tool to have to plan accordingly. I look forward to reading some of these.
Thank you for the opportunity to see some of the most exciting upcoming YA novels. I've downloaded a few amazing looking galleys and have also added a few books to my TBR read for this spring!
In my attempt to be more adventurous this year I requested to read this book on Netgalley and Buzz Books did not disappoint. There are YA books sampled in this collection which are to be released this Spring and into Summer. My absolute favorite were: Romanov (this is one I have to read- wish I'd get an ARC just so I can boast about it), Descendant of the Crane, Bloodleaf, Once & Future (who doesn't love a retell of the legend of King Arthur with a kickass girl?) and The Mirror Visitor.
I would also take a chance on Operatic because it's more a visual read and well, it had me at Opera.
Oh my goodness, I think I ended up adding more than half of these to my TBR list. Great to have excerpts! Can’t wait to read these books.
As always, very useful to get all the new titles and their release dates, as well as some excerpts and first chapters to get a taste of how the books will be.
So far I have read two of the excerpts in this book. I have read from Romanov which is the first excerpt in the book. I have also read the second excerpt of the James Patterson Presents Ari book about a take on the King Arthur legend. I am writing this review by choice and because I voluntarily signed up to review. The options in this brief review of excerpts are my own opinions. I have enjoyed these excerpts and this book so far. I am looking forward to reading more from all the authors in this book, particularly the two first excerpts I have read so far. I am fascinated with books about the Romanovs and takes on the Arthurian Tale. I felt that both books will be a great escape and will prompt me to educate myself about the subjects presented in the books.
So many good ones coming out this year! I love the extended excerpts- particularly with YA titles, because I love reading that genre, but I find a lot of them to be hit or miss for me lately- so the sample chapters are a grwat way to decipher which ones will be a better fit for my reading taste.
I loved Buzz Books 2019: Young Adult Spring/Summer! It provides an excellent list of must read titles coming up. I was particularly happy about the inclusion of non-fiction titles. I also enjoyed reading many of the excerpts that were provided. My to be read list has multiplied!
Most of these books are not my style. However, one did stand out and I think I will be adding it to my tbr as a light fun read.
So many good book for 2019! I love YA and can't wait to read some of these. Love that there are charter excerpts!
These Buzz Books are always such a help for my purchasing and readers' advisory-- it lets me get a taste of lots of upcoming books and helps me discover new authors!
Great way to know which books to add to my TBR list! Lots to look forward to reading. Thank you Buzz Books and NetGalley.
I am looking forward to many of these releases and am grateful for the excerpts to help guide me. This will help me in choosing the books I want to purchase and read in 2019.
It is a wonderful resource to have a list of upcoming Young Adult releases. I really enjoyed the first chapter of Romanov.
Thanks for the opportunity to preview all of these books! These are some awesome previews for upcoming spring books, a few of which I am dying to read! Thanks for the sneak peak!
I wasn't as impressed with the current Buzz Books YA sampler as I was with last years. I'm still very grateful for Netgalley giving us the opportunity to read it but there were so many other titles they could have chosen. The one thing I actually did like was there seemed to be more of a variety of genres this time around. Here's to a year full of lots of amazing books! 💖💞📚
While I have missed Buzz Books and was worried it was gone for good (phew!), I hate to admit this particular installment wasn't as intriguing as the Adult Spring/Summer installment. Simply not as many YA books highlighted, and only a few that appealed. That said, I got Bloodleaf as a result and I'm thoroughly excited about it, so still well worth a look.
Thank you once again for making BUZZ BOOKS available via NetGalley. This is the tenth version of Buzz Books Young Adult and it continues to be a valuable source of ideas for collection development. This edition lists several pages of recommendations and features excerpts from a dozen titles. Here is the publisher’s page:

I love many of the covers, including TO BEST THE BOYS by Mary Weber. Another favorite? Ian Doescher’s MUCH ADO ABOUT MEAN GIRLS – told in iambic pentameter and set in Evanston, Illinois. And don’t forget inspiring authors like Mitali Perkins (FORWARD ME BACK TO YOU is coming in April) or Stephanie Garber with the latest Caravale novel (titled FINALE). Smaller publishers (like Page Street Kids’ STRONGER THAN A BRONZE DRAGON by Mary Fan) and debut authors are included, too.
There were some titles in this I didn't even know I needed to read, as well as some (Romanov, in particular) that I'm super excited about but haven't yet had a chance to read an excerpt of, so that was grand. Thanks!
Another amazing sneak preview of what's to come! I've latched onto several books that I can't wait to get my hands on when they are released, and I've submitted several NetGalley queries as well.
