As always, the Buzz Books excerpt anthology always has me requesting book after book. This edition wasn’t any different. I look forward to these editions every year. Love them!

It was nice to have a little more info to choose books. I plan to download these whenever possible. I wish I had gotten it earlier. I missed some books I would have really loved and it is taking so long to get books delivered physically now.

This is a collection of excerpts from upcoming books. Lots of fun to read and added a lot of titles to my TBR pile.

Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

Thank you to NetGalley for a free copy of this book to review. The Buzz Books catalogs give the reader an sneak peek at new books to be release for each season. This catalog always makes my TBR list grow by leaps and bounds. I love how it is broken down into sections for Fiction; Debut authors; Non-Fiction; and Young Adult. It gives a glimpse of the cover art, a synopsis of the book and then an excerpt to read, along with a blurb about the author and then publishing information. I am always trying to plan ahead for new books and this is the absolutely perfect way to do it. I think this book is extremely helpful, not only to the average reader, but also to bookstores and libraries. I can't say enough good things about the Buzz Books previews.

This is a really good chance to get to know those titles who are not that known/hype around the reader's community. Thank you for the opportunity to read and get to know more titles coming out this year.

This is terrible. As if I haven't already have too much books on my to read list! This is a great sampler (44 exerpts!) that has something to offer for everyone. Whether you're on the lookout for debuts, fiction or non-fiction, this is a great start to get excited by authors or novels that aren't on your list per se. Thanks you Netgalley!

I enjoyed this selection of new books coming out this year. In the past, however, these Buzz Book catalogs seemed to be easier to navigate. This one didn’t really have any table of contents so it was tricky seeing all the excerpts included at a glance. But bottom line is that this includes a great selection of new and upcoming books.

Always a helpful resource for bookaholics like myself. Seems too much time leads to binge reading! When budgets are tight and you don’t want to buy books you’ll end up hating or using as coasters then start here for tips and insights to what’s new and upcoming.

I love these catalogues with extracts and information about highly anticipated book releases. So informative and nice when I plan what to read and talk about.

Thank you! As ways these are very helpful. As always I appreciate Met Galley and learning about new books.

This sneak peak at upcoming books is an easy way to broaden your knowledge and be aware so that you can recommend new titles to others.

I love this series which gives you a sneak peek of upcoming book. It's nice to see Mike Birbiglia's one-man show about becoming a father has been adapted into a book. Very funny. Speaking of funny, David Nicholls has a new novel "Sweet Sorrow" about teen romance that is both hilarious and poignant. I can't recommend it highly enough. The other standout for me was Kate Reed Petty's "True Story." The excerpt is awesome. I can't wait to see what the novel is like.

Great stuff from Buzz Books!

Love these short chapters of new books to add unknown books to my radar. These help me either confirm or rule out purchasing a book vs. borrowing from my library.

I am really late, but this is my second Buzz Books preview and I love being able to look at what is coming up and to get excited about new books that I have not heard about.

So many good books I can't wait to read! I look forward to these previews each season. I hate how corona virus has screwed with these authors' publicity schedules and sales so I make an extra effort to read from new books these days.

Great book, it's very good and useful for checking out the upcoming titles of great books. Definitely should try it.

Get ready for a variety of new fiction, popular authors, non-fiction, up and coming authors, and young adult titles. Highlights include LGBTQ adult fiction, historical fiction, eels, friendship, and more. This sampler brings readers something for everyone. This is a mix of early looks that you won’t want to miss. Recommended for book lovers who like to get a sneak peek.

Please note: This was a complementary review copy from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. No financial compensation was received.

This is a great reference for reviewers to see upcoming titles. Shouldn't be your only resource, but certainly helpful.
