This was pretty cool I can't believe how many books are coming out and we got a few samplers to read along with it. I am so interested in reading 2 of them for sure Coral was great and I am sad I have to wait to read it but I added it and The Last True Poets of the Sea to my Calendar and will be purchasing them both on their release dates!!
Thanks again for the sampler

These used to be so good. They let you sample some of your most anticipated reads of the year but it seems like the choices get worse with each edition. I wasn't personally interested in a single one of the excerpts. I hope others like them. They just weren't for me. I do thank Netgalley and the publishers for still offering the bind up. 📚💕

This was another great Buzz Book! I love the way that these books are organized and I have found them very useful when planning out my reading schedule and blog coverage. I will definitely be taking a closer look at several of the books featured in this collection.

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.

I use these Buzz Books from Publisher's Lunch to build my TBR list. Some of my TBR list books from the 2018 Fall Winter are actually being talked about now, especially The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi.



This time the excerpts seemed rather sparse, but here is what seems to have potential:





You might ask the obvious question: What do I, a seventeen-year-old Haitian American from Miami with way too little life experience, have to say about anything?

Actually, a lot.

Thanks to “the incident” (don’t ask), I’m spending the next two months doing what my school is calling a “spring volunteer immersion project.” It’s definitely no vacation. I’m toiling away under the ever-watchful eyes of Tati Estelle at her new nonprofit. And my lean-in queen of a mother is even here to make sure I do things right. Or she might just be lying low to dodge the media sharks after a much more public incident of her own…and to hide a rather devastating secret.

All things considered, there are some pretty nice perks…like flirting with Tati’s distractingly cute intern, getting actual face time with my mom and experiencing Haiti for the first time. I’m even exploring my family’s history—which happens to be loaded with betrayals, superstitions and possibly even a family curse.

You know, typical drama. But it’s nothing I can’t handle.







Lena and Campbell aren't friends.

Lena has her killer style, her awesome boyfriend, and a plan. She knows she's going to make it big. Campbell, on the other hand, is just trying to keep her head down and get through the year at her new school.

When both girls attend the Friday-night football game, what neither expects is for everything to descend into sudden mass chaos. Chaos born from violence and hate. Chaos that unexpectedly throws them together.

They aren't friends. They hardly understand the other's point of view. But none of that matters when the city is up in flames, and they only have each other to rely on if they're going to survive the night.




The Larkin family isn't just lucky-they persevere. At least that's what Violet and her younger brother, Sam, were always told. When the Lyric sank off the coast of Maine, their great-great-great-grandmother didn't drown like the rest of the passengers. No, Fidelia swam to shore, fell in love, and founded Lyric, Maine, the town Violet and Sam returned to every summer.

But wrecks seem to run in the family: Tall, funny, musical Violet can't stop partying with the wrong people. And, one beautiful summer day, brilliant, sensitive Sam attempts to take his own life.

Shipped back to Lyric while Sam is in treatment, Violet is haunted by her family's missing piece-the lost shipwreck she and Sam dreamed of discovering when they were children. Desperate to make amends, Violet embarks on a wildly ambitious mission: locate the Lyric, lain hidden in a watery grave for over a century.

She finds a fellow wreck hunter in Liv Stone, an amateur local historian whose sparkling intelligence and guarded gray eyes make Violet ache in an exhilarating new way. Whether or not they find the Lyric, the journey Violet takes-and the bridges she builds along the way-may be the start of something like survival.

Although I have not received an answer from these requests, I will keep an eye out for them.

Happy reading!

Very informative and a good way to get the buzz out on upcoming releases with the sample readings. It'll be a great tool to get more people to add these new titles to their tbr's.

It looks like an outstanding group of Young Adult books are on the horizon for Fall/Winter 2019. As always, the Buzz Books listing provides a helpful resource in the upcoming releases. Several of these look unique and timely for today's society.

I look forward to this release twice a year with the season's upcoming books and their descriptions. It helps to form a game plan for reviewing purposes.

Thank you again for making this publication available - it is quite useful!

Picking Out My Fall/Winter Reads!

Great summary of the Young Adult genre books to be released this Fall/Winter. I'm eager to read 'I'm Not Dying With You Tonight' about two teenage girls, one black and one, trying to survive one chaotic night. I think it will be one of THE books of the season.

I am grateful to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this compilation in exchange for an honest review.

I always anticipate the release of Buzz Books 2019: Young Adult because inside there are great book recommendations and all the upcoming releases. Every time I read it my tbr gets even bigger.

I didn't care much for this Buzz Book, none of the stories in there were my cup of tea. I was even hoping to find something new to read outside of my favorite genres and nothing pulled me in. I still plan on checking out future Buzz Books, just this one fell flat.

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. I find it especially helpful when recommending reading to the teens I work with. Thanks.

I was hoping to find some samples from the hot books coming the fall and winter. What I found was samples to like five books that only one of which I'd heard of and even then it didn't grab my attention. This one felt like they just grabbed some books that they felt were the under-underdogs of the upcoming publishing season and was trying to push them on booksellers and reviewers. This Buzz books was a major disappointment in comparison to previous ones.

I love reading the samplers, particularly the ones for YA and I was thrilled to see that this one included samples for books that I hadn't yet heard of. And a few of those books are ones that I wasn't sure if I wanted to read yet. This is always something I love to do since samples of a story can really help in making the decision for whether or not I want to read the novel. As for this group, I can definitely see myself reading some of these in the future, whereas a few others I wasn't as interested in.

If anyone were to ever get me to read a book about Tennis, it would be the authors of <i>Legacy and the Queen</i>, due to their melding it with some sort of magic in a world that appears to be very kingdom-esque.. I really enjoyed reading the sample for this book and would consider picking it up in the future.

<i>The Last True Poets of the Sea</i> was one of the books in this sampler that I definitely see myself reading, though from just the synopsis I probably never would have picked it up. It didn't sound especially interesting at the get-go, but when I started the story I found myself rather impressed with the writing. I enjoyed the narrator and definitely think this could be a book worth reading.

I just couldn't get past the writing style for <i>Coral</i>, which is good to know since I almost requested this book to read the whole thing. I think the premise sounds great, but I just didn't care for the writing. As for <i>I'm Not Dying With You Tonight</i>, I just didn't feel a connection with the story. It's not something that really sounds like a book I'd want to read, especially as I don't care for books with cheerleaders.

Honestly, I feel somewhat uncertain about <i>Dear Haiti, Love Alaine</i> because a part of me wants to read it and a part of me doesn't. Ultimately, the sample didn't really help me make a decision either way. For <i>Harvey Comes Home</i>, however, I just wasn't interested in the overall story and nothing about the sample really grabbed me enough to change my mind.

I was over the moon thrilled with the sample for <i>Scars Like Wings</i>. Not only did it begin with the most catching line I've read in a while. I'm really excited to pick this book up later and finish it. The premise sounds extremely fascinating and overall I was really impressed with the writing.

<i>Home Girl</i> just isn't the kind of book I see myself enjoying. I don't think there was anything exactly wrong with it, but I was turned off almost immediately by the harshness of the main character. I don't think I'll be continuing this book, but I do think others might enjoy it.

I wish this edition had included a wider variety of genres. I usually preorder several choices, but only found one that sparked my interest.

If you are looking for new YA to read this fall and winter, I think there are a lot of great stories in this booklet and you should check it out! Not all of the stories interested me but many did, and I found a lot of new upcoming released books to add to my TBR. And for those I already had on my TBR, I am even more excited about them than before.

This is a really good preview of the books that are coming out soon! I am particularly excited for The Last True Poets of the Sea.

I always devour these Buzz Books as soon as they are available. What an awesome way to get exposed to books you wouldn't normally look at. I requested one and wrote the rest down in my notebook to get later on. I love this idea of reading snippets of stories to see if you like the writing and the book.

These guides are so useful when I'm making my TBR. The excerpts included are really helpful to decide which books I want to read, and to find some new authors as well! Several of these are already on my list, and I plan on requesting some from this guide too!

A great guide to the upcoming titles to watch out for. I've requested several and will be crossing my fingers!

Thanks so much, Buzz Books and NetGalley for the opportunity to read these advance excerpts! Once again, the Young Adult listing provided plenty of exciting ideas to add to my TBR list.
