Love these type of books because then you can see all the ones that are up and coming. I’m a huge fan of YA so these are perfect

There were only two titles in this collection that appealed to me. I enjoyed those teasers and will be watching for those books in the future. The rest of the titles were just not of personal interest.

This is a great and varied list of titles and I am super excited about each of them. I will definitely be telling people about these titles!

This is a great sampler of some really cool books that are coming out later this year. I know that YA is not meant for me, but these books look really good and I'm so thankful that kids/teens are getting access to such
well-thought out and well-written books.

I am so exited for this and am looking forward to many of these titles. I can't wait to hype them up even more with my patrons.

Very helpful list of upcoming releases that I will certainly be using for requesting review copies and ordering for my library.

First time reading the YA Book Buzz excerpts. Thank you! These were interesting selections that I normally wouldn’t have tried.

My rating: 4/5

It was a tad disappointing with how few excerpts were in this buzz ARC as I’m trying to range out of my comfort zone genre wise.

The range of choices in this ARC were pretty good, though. Although I’m not typically a fan of YA, I did find one book that I did want to pick up: Julia Drake’s The Last True Poets Of The Sea. I really enjoyed her writing, as it made me feel like a teen again going through the uncomfortable “finding yourself” stage in life without glamorizing or romanticizing that awkward time. I want to read more!

This was a great way to sample a diverse number of YA books!

I didn't read the Spring/Summer edition so I don't know if it's the new norm but it felt like there were fewer extracts that previously in this edition. That said all the extracts were from books that were completely off my radar and three of them really excited me and have gone straight on my to buy list!

I was excited to read this collection but found the selection a little less exciting than in previous months and was also disappointed that it wasn't possible to instantly read either the entire novel or a longer excerpt for those I was interested in reading. I found last time around this really helped to build up the buzz around those titles

The collection of excerpts is a great mix of YA genres, and some subgenres I didn’t know of! I’m most excited for “coral”. I always enjoying reading these excerpts to know which books that are coming out that I may or may not enjoy.

Thank you so much NetGalley for this opportunity. It is always heartwarming to read about literature and new releases.

Some interesting books here! Most weren’t my cup of tea but I really enjoyed the first and last extracts (by Julia Drake and Alex Wheatle).

An excellent collection of YA Fall/Winter 2019 books! I've been excited for a lot of these releases, but this sampler got me interested in some of the backlist books as well such as Dear Haiti, Love Alaine and The Last True Poets of the Sea.

Great selection of excerpts, perfect for planning on additions to the teen library. I'm especially appreciative of the variety, with mermaids and Haitian culture standing out in particular.

Great selection of upcoming titles! I already have an ARC for Scars Like Wings, but I've been hearing a bit about Coral and was excited to check it out. Last True Poets wasn't on my radar, though, but it certainly is now. Thanks--this sampler is so useful for planning blogging and reviews.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me a digital copy of this book. I wasn’t interested in any of the books except “Coral” by Sara Ella. I am a sucker for a book about mermaids and sirens. This book is very well written and I enjoyed the bit I read. I will probably be purchasing this book for the library.

This collection wasn't really for me. The only standout sample for me was "Dear Haiti, Love Alaine" and "Scars Like Wings." Those are titles that had great samples and I will recommend those for my library to purchase. The other selections didn't speak to me or made me interested to read them when they release. But I still love checking out these samplers and will continue to recommend people to try them on here.

I love browsing through Buzz Books.

Here are a few I'm looking forward to from this edition:

Dear Haiti, Love Alaine by Maika Moulite and Maritza Moulite

Home Girl by Alex Wheatle

Throw Like a Girl by Sarah Henning

Love having these digests available! There are always so many releases to keep track of that this helps provide a coherent list to remind me of what I'm looking out for next. My to-read list has a few new additions to it.
