BUZZ BOOKS – These summaries are great resources and I hope that others are taking advantage of getting a sense of some of the wonderful titles which will be available this fall and winter. This is the "biggest BUZZ BOOKS ever" with "45 chances to find your next great reads." I like skimming through the long list of publishing previews, mentioning new books from authors like Margaret Atwood, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Amitav Ghosh, and Elizabeth Strout. Then there’s also new titles considered more commercial from writers like Jeffrey Archer, Attica Locke, Louise Penny, Martin Cruz Smith to again name just a few. And I will be anticipating some non-fiction work, particularly from Naomi Klein, Lawrence Lessig, and Bill Bryson. I appreciate having access to the short excerpts, too. As one example, Eoin Colfer offers HIGHFIRE. Some titles, like Jeanine Cummins' AMERICAN DIRT, have sparked my interest despite not yet being widely available on NetGalley and others, like Tracy Chevalier's A SINGLE THREAD, have a direct link to request a full preview copy. There is opportunity for many types of readers to generate "buzz" with quite a sampling from Jeff Lindsay (JUST WATCH ME) and Liz Moore (LONG BRIGHT RIVER) to JoJo Moyes (THE GIVER OF STARS) or Jeanette Winterson (FRANKISSSTEIN). Of course there's excerpts from debut works (e.g., ALL THAT'S BRIGHT AND GONE by Eliza Nellums or SUCH A FUN AGE by Kiley Reid or 142 OSTRICHES by April Davila with its really beautiful cover) as well as almost a dozen excerpts from non-fiction works. Enjoy!

I am always anxious to get my book loving hands on the latest Buzz Books, and 2019: Fall/Winter edition did not disappoint. I love to read excerpts, book descriptions are fine, but let me see the first few chapters of a book, and I am rarely wrong about my choices when I get an ARC or purchase a copy. A few that I am excited for: Imaginary Friend(Stephen Chbosky), Good Girls Lie(J.T. Ellison), How Quickly She Disappears(Raymond Fleischmann), Such a Fun Age(Kiley Reid), and Saint X(Alexis Schaitkin). I hope that Buzz Books continues to publish these guides, as I always find something to look forward to reading(ok, truth be told, I added over a dozen books to my Want to Read shelf on GoodReads).
I received a DRC from Publishers Lunch through NetGalley.

A seductive preview of the best of the new books for the season and it's FREE!

First introduced for the 2012 Book Expo America, the FREE digital Publishers Lunch Buzz Books has become the place for both industry professionals and book lovers in general to discover and read about the books expected to spark high demand BEFORE they are published!

There are 45 fall and winter books for adults in this edition of Buzz Books. A second volume handling the burgeoning young adult titles is available.

"Publishers usually release their most prominent literary titles in the fall.The Introduction gives an overview of the upcoming publishing season broken down by literary fiction, debut fiction, commercial fiction, and followed by non-fiction conversation starters, memoir, and biography".

What's really great is that after many selections in Buzz Books, you have the option to follow a link and request the complete galley copy from Net Galley if you qualify as a 'professional' reader.

The fiction titles that caught my eye included Elizabeth Berg's The Confession Club (Random House, November), a sequel to The Handmaid's Tale from Margaret Atwood titled The Testaments (Nan A. Talese, September), another sequel from Elizabeth Strout called Olive Again (Random House, October), and I have already received copies of T.M. Logan's 29 Seconds (St. Martin's, September) and Lisa Lutz's The Swallows (Ballantine, August).

Personal favorites Louise Penny and Linwood Barclay both have books coming out this fall: Penny's A Better Man (Minotaur, August) and Barclay's Elevator Pitch (William Morrow, September).

In non-fiction, I was interested in Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know About the People We Don't Know (Little, Brown, September), the latest offering from Malcolm Gladwell. Elton John's The Autobiography (Holt, October) and Patti Smith's Year of the Monkey (Knopf, September) both caught my eye too.

Many thanks for the ARC provided by Publishers Lunch BUZZ BOOKS

This is a very good preview of the adult books that are coming out! Notable: Eoin Colfer’s Highfire, which has all the charm of Artemis Fowl and also all the swearing. Good Girls Lie by JT Ellison, which had me utterly fascinated.

Looking forward to many of these interesting books and stories and I want to give a Thank You to the person/persons who put together all this great selection of books.

Buzz Books is such a valuable resource to me. As a baby book reviewer, I'm not always in the know - that's where Buzz Books comes in. For example, I knew to (eagerly) anticipate a sequel to the Handmaid's Tale and a new book from Lindy West this fall. But I had no idea what's coming out in the nonfiction market.

Ones that are particularly intriguing to me are The Geography of Risk: Epic Storms, Rising Seas, and the Cost of America’s Coasts (Gilbert M. Gaul), Things We Didn't Talk About When I Was a Girl (Jeannie Vanasco), and the Highway of Tears (Jessica McDiarmid). I also have high hopes for Lifespan: The Revolutionary Science of Why We Age––and Why We Don’t Have To (David Sinclair) and 999: The Extraordinary Young Women of the First Official Jewish Transport to Auschwitz (Heather Dune Macadam). Big thanks to Buzz Books for putting all these on my radar!

Did not really enjoy this edition as much as previously. Found the books to be a little boring and predictable, nothing exciting or noteworthy for me.

This was really helpful. I like reading excerpts. There were a lot of great books .I added few books to my tbr list too.

This is another great Buzz Book. I find that these books are very useful tools when planning future blog coverage. There is a great selection of excerpts that allow the reader to sample a variety of writing styles and topics.

This is such a fantastic resource for a bookstagrammer. I look forward to reading through this every time it comes out.. I added at least a dozen books to my TBR and love that it has publisher contact information. I think I’m most excited for The Great Pretender by Susannah Cahalan. I loved Brain on Fire and this sounds fantastic.

Such a useful insight into what is coming up this year! Invaluable tool for readers and publishers. Would reccomend

Once again some great new titles and authors and am loving the excerpts, a wonderful introduction to some of the books on offer.

Thanks NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this title.

This is so cool!! I love seeing the listing of upcoming of releases so I can get my list together and get HYPED!!

As always, a fantastic way to get to know about all the goodness coming in from my favourites, and a great way to find new voices. Can’t wait for the new releases!

It's always great to preview upcoming titles. I hope to find some of them at Book Expo this year. Even the list of books that didn't have excerpts was fun to read.

Buzz Books 2019 Fall/Winter.
I really enjoy these books that give some of the upcoming books coming out with excerpts and info about the books. It gives you a sample of each and you get to check out new authors and see any upcoming ones you might want to read.

As always, Buzz Books present a varied selection of samples that includes fiction, debut authors, and nonfiction. I was thrilled to get so many choices; this issue is packed! There were recognizable names (Jojo Moyes, Meg Waite Clayton, Tracy Chevalier), as well as an impressive array of less known and debut authors. I had requested Frankissstein by Jeanette Winterson and Saint X by Alexis Schaitkin to start with, but I be sure to come back to guide for more!

A wonderful selection in Buzz Books 2019: Fall/Winter and it will be so difficult to choose what to add to my tbr pile. I can see myself ending up reading the vast majority of these books, especially the historical fiction, sagas and thrillers.

The Buzz Books Fall/Winter 2019 catalog holds a veritable treasure trove of books. I anticipate reviewing these each season. It is user friendly and provides a brief synopsis of many of the up and coming new releases along with convenient links to request the books from NetGalley.

I have already requested a few of these new releases and have them on my shelf to read. After reviewing this, there are a few others that I have noted for potential review as well.

Thank you again for providing this compilation of Fall and Winter releases for review.
