Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for an eARC of this book.
It is such a joy to receive Buzz Books. Gives a great overview of upcoming books.

Excellent selection of extracts from upcoming fiction, debut and non-fiction titles.
There is much to be enjoyed here, but a few personal highlights were:
The Divers Game by Jesse Ball. This came across as a thought experiment wrapped around social commentary on exclusion and racism. The omniscient point of view kept the reader from engaging with the characters.
A Single Thread. Tracy Chevalier. Set in 1932, this novel opens with a dense with interesting exposition which perfectly sets up the Cathedral setting and lifestyle of our older main character, Violet, and her typing work in Winchester.
HighFire. Eoin Colfer. It was interesting that this extract is from chapter 4 of this novel. Fine character building and excellent description of the setting hooks the reader from the first paragraph. Adult contemporary language.
American Dirt by J. Cummins, is an powerful and emotionally charged description of the aftermath of criticising the drug cartels in Acapulco.
Takes one to know one. Susan Issacs. The first person voice takes you straight inside the head of a great female lead. Intelligent, aware and naturally intuitive, Corie Geller is a former FBI agent and now stepmother.
And most intriguing of all - Just Watch Me by Jeff Lindsay. One I will certainly be looking out for!

As usual these Buzz books are so helpful to those of us who love to read or just understand more about current literature. It helps to discover what to look out for without committing to reading or buying the full books. Thanks.

When ever I see a new Buzz Books is available I run to it!! I love the idea of getting exposed to a book I normally wouldn't pick up. I have found wonderful new to me authors this way and it's so easy to request an ARC with the link at the end of each excerpt. I requested a few of them and wrote a bunch down to check out further! Thank you so much for doing this!! Keep up the good work!!

Such a brilliant idea, a sneak peak at some of the books coming out this autumn and winter. A great way to sit in the sun and plan what to read snuggled up against the cold.

There are 44 different offerings including 12 debut novels, 11 factual books, and the rest are from established fiction writers.

I couldn't read this as an entire book but am enjoying dipping into it and it will definitely help me organise some of my future reading.

I was able to read a copy of this book thanks to Netgalley and the publishers in exchange for an unbiased review and would recommend it to anyone who likes to try before you buy or look for new authors to enhance their libraries.

It is a truly exciting day when Publisher's Lunch releases their latest edition of Buzz Books. It makes me so happy! I drop everything and binge read this from cover to cover, several times. Each time I find something new and notable.

In fiction, I am looking forward to reading JT Ellison's Good Girls Lie, Lisa Jewell's The Family Upstairs, TM Logan's 29 Seconds, Kira Peikoff's Mother Knows Best, and Catherine Steadman's Mr. Nobody.

In nonfiction, I want to read the books by Malcolm Gladwell, Alicia Keys, and Hoda Kotb.

Thank you Publisher's Lunch for an extensive compilation of up and coming books and compelling excerpts that pique my interest in what's publishing this fall and winter.

I look forward to each new edition of Buzz Books! It is an AMAZING resource of upcoming releases. I find it so helpful for planning my TBR, ARC requests, and content for my bookstagram account. The excerpts are a great length to get a feel for the author and their writing. I will request this resource every time it is published!

A fun way to take a quick look at the upcoming season! I always look forward to these- a chance to read excerpts and place requests for galleys all in one.

Another fabulous lineup of books to come - fiction, new authors, nonfiction, and more. Read excerpts of some of the books, and request the full galley on Netgalley using the direct link. I have been reading Buzz Books for a number of years now and highly recommend. I always look forward to Buzz Books as a way to plan my next reads.

I always look forward to these lists from Buzz Books because there's always a few surprises for me. I see several of my must reads on this list. Most notably: Imaginary Friend and Mother Knows Best. I did not know about Cold Storage prior to this list. I loved the excerpt from Cold Storage, and I will definitely be adding that one to my must read list.

Thank you again!
