This was a great way to learn which young adult titles to look out for in the upcoming months! I was able to create my own list of books to track down for myself and my library, including a whole bunch of titles that I know wouldn't have been on my radar otherwise.

I really look forward to Buzz Book's previews twice a year but unfortunately this selection did nothing for me. The only one I'm looking forward to from this bunch is "Dear Haiti, Love Alaine".

This was a great reference to find all of the upcoming Fall/Winter YA releases of 2019-2020. I was able to add so many awesome new titles to my TBR as well as rule out some others based on finding out more information.

I hope to see many more of these books for future seasons to help me keep my TBR long!

super helpful with finding out new books to check out that will be released soon. really appreciate having this and can't wait to see more.

Helpful and nice. I think I will start reading those for my next new releases hunt.
I had a good time discovering new releases I didn't know about and it was quick to read.
Coral by Sara Ella actually picked my interest and, well, we'll see if I'm going to read it or not.

I love this concept. Reading excerpts from anticipated books and then deciding if you're interested in reading the whole thing.
This book was much shorter than I anticipated and am definitely excited to ready some of the books included.

I love, love, love, Buzz Books

I always love having access to these previews of upcoming books. I'm most excited for The Last True Poets of the Sea by Julia Drake. I also love having a list at the beginning that has titles/authors/publish dates at the beginning for upcoming new releases. It's a great reference!

Did not review in the traditional sense. First reactions to each book is posted on my blog. I review cover, premise, and the excerpt and list whether or not I will be adding it to my TBR.

I love it when the Buzz Books become available! This is such a great way to get a taste of the great reads that are coming out soon. I always end up with a longer "to read" list after sampling the titles in Buzz Books.

Interesting upcoming books! I am partial to reading the one about the mermaid, in hopes that it delivers.

Unfortunately, this edition didn't contain anything that really caught my attention. A pity really, as there is usually a good selection of excerpts.

An interesting collection of Young Adult books coming out this Fall and Winter. There's lots of variety for every taste. I love the excerpts which always help me decide which books I really want to read - always wishing I had time to read all of them! The bibloiography in the front is really helpful too when perusing what will be available from my favorite authors and new authors to me.

Thanks to Publishers Lunch BUZZ BOOKS through Netgalley for another fine compilation!

Another season, another Buzz Books. Unfortunately, nothing in this edition wowed me or really stood out. There was a lot of realistic fiction included in this edition, which unfortunately, just isn't my thing.

Such a treat to get this pre-publishing taste of a variety of young adult offerings! Highly recommended!

Pub Date 14 May 2019.

Thanks to the authors, publisher and NetGalley for the review copy. Opinions are mine.

Great collection of new releases! I always enjoy looking through these, and have added quite some titles to my TBR.

I cannot wait to dive into these books. All the books I can read are in one convenient place. While they are all YA, they fall into smaller sub-categories to appeal to a variety of audiences. I really loved the samples of the books that are included.

This book was very short compared to past volumes. There were only 4 or 5 excerpts and of those, some didn't have a link to NetGalley at all.

I would like to thank the publisher for giving me a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I always enjoy reading snippets for upcoming books and this was no different. I added lots of titles in my goodreads shelves and I plan to request some titles myself as well! I wish we had more of these kind of books to feature themes perhaps like crime, humor, non fiction, etc. I always keep an eye on your blog and I really enjoy it!

Of all the books set to be released, I was not really impressed with the selected excerpts. The best part is the bibliography at the beginning. Valuable for creating my "to buy" list for collection development.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. My opinions are 100% my own and independent of receiving an advance copy.

Another great selection of Young Adult books coming out this fall. It truly is amazing to see the diversity, variety and inclusivity of this genre. Kobe Bryant is releasing another in his series of books that focus on young athletes and the challenges they face. This time it will be a young black girl who faces “The Queen” in a tennis match. There seemed to be a focus on young people overcoming odds. “I’m Not Dying With You Tonight” by Golly Segal and Kimberly Jones puts two young teens surviving a night on the streets after a violent outbreak. “Home Girl” by Alex Wheatle main character is a girl stuck in the foster system. “Scars Like Wings” by Erin Stewart is about a teen adjusting to life after a terrible accident that took her family and left her with scars on the inside and out. “Coral” by Sara Ella is a modern take on a Hans Christian Anderson tale that explores mental health issues. As an educator, I really like stories that focus on youth struggling and overcoming the odds. Everything in life is so big when you are a teen and, if done well, they relate to these stories where they can see themselves. The selection of excerpts did seem to be a bit small compared to other Buzz Books but I always appreciate someone doing the work for me and culling down the huge list of releases down to a few pages of what to watch out for.
