I love Buzz Books! This is a wonderful resource to review new books and determine what you want to read in the future. Love, love this book!

Normally, I rave about Buzz Books. More often than not, there is more "for" me than not. Sadly, not this time around. As always, Buzz Books layout, including excerpts, is excellent. However, there was very little in terms of actual offerings that appealed to me this time around. Better luck in 2020, I suppose.

Some very interesting titles that had previously escaped my radar in this one - thank you for correcting that, and as always, thank you for the previews!

There was a few books that I didn't know anything about that I'm now interested in and some books that I'm no longer looking forward to that much. This is such a great way to find new books and see how you get along with an authors writing.

I loved this collection of excerpts! It honestly gives me a chance to see what books I should keep on my list and ones I should pass. Not all the chapters appealed to me, but I’m a weird reader who knows what I like. Thank you Netgalley for offering this as a direct read!

Before this Buzz Book, I had skipped over reading all other Buzz Books before and now I"m a little disappointed in myself. This book was a great combination of samplers of future books and while not all of the books appealed to me, it did help me find a few books that I would have overlooked had I not read a sneak peek in this book. I also loved the fact that it had a pretty extensive list of books that would be coming out this fall/winter to look farther into and know the current expected publication date.

Thanks to whomever took the time to put this book together. It was a very helpful read.

I do appreciate the preview of upcoming titles, many of which I'm very excited about and have put them on my purchase list.

Great selections for fall and winter 2019, and I will be adding a lot of these to my TBR pile! I think I'm most excited for Children of Virtue & Vengeance, Kingdom of Souls, Queen of Nothing, and Chain of Gold!

Buzz Books for 2019 is an excellent reference for Young Adult book lovers who are interested in what's next in those YA worlds. Books I added to my TBR list include some of my favorite authors, like "The Beautiful" by Renee Ahdieh, "Children of Virtue and Vengeance" by Tomi Adeyemi (the sequel to "Children of Blood and Bone," and "The Toll" by Neal Shusterman (the final book in the Arc of the Scythe series).

I've been following Madeline Miller, who wrote "Circe," on Twitter, and she promoted Julia Drake's new novel "The Last True Poets of the Sea," one of the books excerpted in this Buzz Books issue, Drake's novel weaves the past to the present, and books that do that well are often amazing. I'm looking forward to reading that one in October.

Overall, the list and the excerpts are well worth the time, especially if you want to keep up with the upcoming YA selections, and as a teacher, I like to know what I can recommend to my students. I'll definitely keep reading the buzz sheet in the future.

What a wonderful collection of excerpts. From lush fantasy to heartwarming contemporary, I cannot wait to read all of them.

I love getting to see what is coming out ahead of time so I can look forward to exciting books. There are a few good ones in here and I had no idea Kobe Bryant was going to be a part of/writing another book. Thanks for the opportunity to get ahead.

Thanks for the fall/winter preview. I'm looking forward to the books, and some of those books have been added to my To Be Read list.

So excited for some of these to come out! I'm particularly excited to read The Last Poets of The Sea once it's out.

Love this list and I have put a lot of titles on my "to buy" list.

I love these lists as they help me to discover authors, titles and subject matters that I would not otherwise even know about.

Now, to get to buying all of these great titles.

Thanks for the great read. I enjoyed reading parts of some of the new novels coming out. It will help me guide some students in their never ending quest to read everything they can manage to obtain...

A really useful review of books to look out for. Also a bit frustrating because I just wanna read more! Scars like Wings is one I’ll definitely be seeking out in the future

Great introduction to some new YA titles coming out! I particularly enjoyed the excerpt of Dear Haiti, Love Alaine by Maika and Maritza Moulite.

I found a few choices here I would love to read. A few of the choices were not for me. I wish there were more excerpts included.

There are so many fun releases this fall/winter season. The excerpts I read intrigued me, I'm excited to get my hands on these books.

Thank you net galley for the showcase examples of YA books to come. I would have liked even more sneak peek chapters in this but was grateful for the two that were provided.
