Enjoyed looking over the options of books to consider for request during the 2019 year. Thanks for a great selection!

Due to a sudden, unexpected passing in the family a few years ago and another more recently and my subsequent (mental) health issues stemming from that, I was unable to download this book in time to review it before it was archived as I did not visit this site for several years after the bereavements. This meant I didn't read or venture onto netgalley for years as not only did it remind me of that person as they shared my passion for reading, but I also struggled to maintain interest in anything due to overwhelming depression. I was therefore unable to download this title in time and so I couldn't give a review as it wasn't successfully acquired before it was archived. The second issue that has happened with some of my other books is that I had them downloaded to one particular device and said device is now defunct, so I have no access to those books anymore, sadly.

This means I can't leave an accurate reflection of my feelings towards the book as I am unable to read it now and so I am leaving a message of explanation instead. I am now back to reading and reviewing full time as once considerable time had passed I have found that books have been helping me significantly in terms of my mindset and mental health - this was after having no interest in anything for quite a number of years after the passings. Anything requested and approved will be read and a review written and posted to Amazon (where I am a Hall of Famer & Top Reviewer), Goodreads (where I have several thousand friends and the same amount who follow my reviews) and Waterstones (or Barnes & Noble if the publisher is American based). Thank you for the opportunity and apologies for the inconvenience.

This is a great resource for finding new books or authors. It's terrible for your TBR though, I always find myself adding more books even though I have plenty to read already.

I decided to try this one out because of JoJo Moyes and Jeanette Winterson, and my expectations were met in that this whet my appetite to read the full versions. I do enjoy these buzz book titles for the very reason that I get to test out an author or book to determine if I like it and not end up with a DNF if I decide not to keep going. Kind of like the fiction that Hello magazine was doing (although I think they may have stopped) which prompted me to borrow or buy a bunch of titles. Always a good way to lure me in.

A must read for new books! Bible of new books coming soon. I always read book buzz to set my calendar for new reads based on this publication.

Not a book that I would read cover to cover but one that is good to occasionally go thru when looking for what to read next.

Buzz Books is a fantastic resource to go through while looking for books in the upcoming seasons.

I was able to find many books that I was interested in for my Mother/Daughter book club.

This was a fun sampler to browse and gave me enough of a taste of several titles to be able to recommend relevant ones to patrons.

I never have anything bad to say about these books because it gives you a sneak peek into upcoming releases. There is always a good mix of authors being featured along with release dates. Being able to read excepts definitely gives it another element because there have been books I wasn't sure about buying and then having those few chapters ended up selling me on the book.

I love these because most of the time I discover a book coming out that I didn't know about at first or some hidden gems. It's a great resource to keep you updated on upcoming books.

This really got me excited for 2019 books! My review is belated but that's only because I wasn't familiar with the way netgalley works. I'm happy to be here!

Great magazine that highlights upcoming releases. I wish they would put out magazines like this for each month.

Buzz Books are a real treasure. I try to read them all because they are a bunch of little diamonds that sparkle and lure me into reading books I never would have given my time to, and am so glad I did. The anticipation of getting to the next chapter of books I cannot get my hands on immediately is thrilling. Last year I was able to pick up several at ALA and it felt like Christmas and birthday all at once. I don't get excited about much these days. but waiting for a chance to finish one of these gems is truly exhilarating!.

I love the opportunity to read about upcoming book titles! I like how the catalogue is organized! It’s easy to read and has all the information in one compilation.

I really enjoy reading the excerpts from all the upcoming books for the fall/winter. I will definitely grab another Buzz Book in the future.
