A wonderful guide full of titles to add on to a book lovers to be read list! Many thanks to Net Galley for putting this together in a very helpful package. I love the details in both this and the other Fall/Winter Guide.

I loved this edition of Buzz Books and have added some of these to my "To Read" pile for the fall/winter! My favorites of the bunch were Legacy & The Queen, I'm Not Dying With You Tonight, The Last True Poets of the Sea, Coral and Scars Like Wings. I'm most excited to see the emphasis on mental health to help reduce stigma and spread information.

I really enjoy Buzz Books because they give previews to books which I might want to read. This one has a focus on Young Adult (YA) books that are expected to come out later this year. It seemed to be a bit shorter but had a wide array of options.

I was most intrigued by Maila Moulite and Maritza Moulite's book, "Dear Haiti, Love Alaine." It's a bit different from what I normally read but it looked really good.

These samplers are my favorite things on Netgalley because you get a glimpse of so many exciting new releases you may have not heard of otherwise. This installment is no different. I'm so excited to get started on my fall TBR.

When I see the newest Buzz Book being offered, I get immensely excited! What you'll gain from reading this: a larger to-be-read list!!! I have added with excitement and great anticipation.

It was the first time I downloaded the Buzz Books and I found it really interesting. Among the books available as extracts I really liked Coral by Sara Ella! Which I hope I will read soon. From now on I will download every possible time the buzz books!

Legacy, Coral and Dear Haiti, With Love are definitely on my radar. I love this edition's selection of snippets! Looking forward for a great season with great titles

A few great Fall YA books! I will say last years had many more books I was interested in but found a couple this time.

A wonderfully compiled resource for readers and reviewers to start planning their Fall/Winter reading. Invaluable!

LEGACY AND THE QUEEN by Annie Matthew & Kobe Bryant
available now, published in the US September 3rd
A Tennis fantasy!! Not only that, but a tennis fantasy co-written by one of the most successful and well-known sportspeople of my generation. This is the story of twelve-year-old Nova, her desire to compete in a prestigious tennis tournament and capture the attention of the Queen. I really enjoyed this extract, I didn't think I'd like it at all but I was hooked by a likeable main character and a good story.



THE LAST TRUE POETS OF THE SEA by Julia Drake
published October 1st
Inspired by Twelfth Night, this is a tale about a young woman trying to locate the shipwreck that brought her and her brother to the town their great-great-great-grandmother founded. I really, really loved this excerpt, I would definitely read this in its entirety.



CORAL by Sara Ella
published November 12th
Coral is a sixteen-year-old mermaid. She fears that she has been afflicted by the human-spread "Disease" - causing her to feel emotions, unlike her merfolk. When her world collides with seventeen-year-old Brooke, who lives on the surface, everything changes. I loved the writing in this one and really connected with Coral from the start. I would read this one in full.



I'M NOT DYING WITH YOU TONIGHT by Kimberly Jones & Gilly Segal
published August 6th
Lena and Campbell are from different backgrounds. When they are thrown together one night after chaos erupts at a football game, they need to figure out how to help each other. This excerpt was sharp, witty and engaging - another one to add to my ever-growing TBR pile.



DEAR HAITI, LOVE ALAINE by Maika Moulite & Maritza Moulite
published September 3rd
Following "the incident", seventeen-year-old Alaine finds herself shipped off to Haiti to participate in a Summer project. While she's there, she gets to explore her family's history for the first time. I had heard about this book before, and was granted access to an ARC, so I'm really looking forward to it - it's an epistolary novel (told through letters/e-mails and other forms of communication) which I love.



HARVEY COMES HOME by Colleen Nelson, Illustrations by Tara Anderson
published September 19th
A runaway West Highland Terrier named Harvey inspires many different people, including a young volunteer at a retirement home and a bitter resident struggling to cope with memory loss. I always feel like someone will slap me if I say I'm not keen on books featuring inspirational animals, but they're just not something I enjoy - clearly I have no soul because this sounds lovely, and people seem to be very excited about it going by Goodreads, it's just not for me.



SCARS LIKE WINGS by Erin Stewart
published October 1st
When Ava Lee survived a fire, she lost her family and home, and suffered horrific facial injuries. Now it's time to get back into some kind of normal routine, but she needs to figure out where she belongs in the world and how to cope with her losses. This is recommended for fans of Girl in Pieces which unfortunately I didn't enjoy. However, the writing style in this is exactly the kind of stuff that appeals to me - Ava is witty, snappy and she's really likeable from the get go. I care about her story and I would like to read it in full.



HOME GIRL by Alex Wheatle
available now, published in the US September 3rd
From a Children's Book Award winner comes the story of Naomi, a child who has grown up fast in the UK foster care system. Straight away I'm reminded of My Name is Leon by Kit de Waal, which almost broke me (totally worth it). I immediately loved Naomi and her spirited personality, and I want to read more, so I've just requested this from my local library.


There we go - eight fantastic upcoming YA novels for you to add to your reading list! The ones I'm most excited to read are:

Home Girl by Alex Wheatle
Coral by Sara Ella
Dear Haiti, Love Alaine by Maike & Maritza Moulite

Thank you for the opportunity to read snippets of upcoming books! This guide has been helpful and bow I have several books on my tbr list.

** Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with the digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review **

Para todos los que amamos la lectura, es una gran oportunidad poder leer los adelantos de los libros que se vienen. Ademas hay un listado completo por categorías que es muy útil. Esta disponible solo en ingles, pero si mas o menos manejan el idioma, y como es un adelanto, se puede leer perfectamente. Se vienen cosas muy interesantes, me encontré con sorpresas. No desaprovechen la oportunidad, hay libros muy interesantes, y creo que todos podemos encontrar al menos uno que nos guste. Ademas brinda la oportunidad de poder explorar libros de otras categorías que tal vez no leemos habitualmente. Como dije, es una gran oportunidad tener disponibles estos adelantos de las novedades de libros.

Helpful for finding new titles to read, this guide is complete with links and short descriptions. Only downside is that you can only open it on kindle or Adobe Digital Editions.

Great previews of some exciting titles! Cannot wait to add these to my school library. Really looking forward to "Scars Like Wings" and "The Last True Poets of the Sea."

This was a great way to get to know upcoming novels. There were a few that I hadn't heard of before. My most anticipated read is definitely Coral. Let's just hope Fall gets here soon.

This was a useful reference as both a reader and educator to see where the market is headed and what readers are interested in.

I’ve found two awesome books I otherwise would not have been interested in: coral and I’m not dying with you tonight.

Thanks for the excerpts!

Buzz Books is a great way to see what is coming out the following seasons. I love reading the excerpts and planning on which books to get the full ARC's for. Love it!

I'm not going to lie, I was a little bit disappointed in this edition. There wasn't a lot that sparked my interest in this volume. Usually I find at least one or two great new reads, but alas this time I did not. I know that there will be great books available this fall now to do more research and find them.

I am not really a fan of YA books, but that is why I like these samplers. After reading the samples, I am actually looking forward to a few YA books. From the samples I read, I am most looking forward to The Last True Poets of the Sea by Julia Drake. I am also might read I’m Not Dying With You Tonight by Filly Segal and Kimberly Jones, and Dear Haiti, Love Alaine by Maika Moulite and Maritza Moulite.
