Thank you for the Buzz Books 2020 Spring/Summer edition! This is the first time I’ve had access to a preview of upcoming books, and now I’m hooked! I’m greatly anticipating many books I read sample chapters of, and I have a slew of recommendations for my book club. Can’t wait to read these books! |
I loved this book, I could search all my favourite authors and genres and see what was coming out this year. It was such a delight to discover what will be available to customers and me in the coming months |
I can't wait for the Buzz Books every season. I love reading the excerpts of all the new books that will be arriving in the Spring and Summer of 2020! Now all I need is some nice weather, a lounge chair and a beach umbrella and I'm set for some new books. Thank you NetGalley! |
It's been a while since I caught up with Buzz Books. I'm in the UK so sometimes the books featured have already been published here but often it is the other way round and they are published here at a later date. The Spring/Summer 2020 had a few titles that caught my eye. To be honest I haven't read all the excerpts but of the ones I have read, there are two I've noted. The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett and The Last Flight (to be titled The Flight in the UK I believe) by Julie Clark. I think they'll both be available here in the UK in June this year they are definitely ones I'll be looking out for. It's great being able to read an extract and frustrating when you get to the end of an extract and want to know what happens next! Thank you. |
Just love how Buzz Books offers a peak at what is coming up. Buzz is the correct title as it gets me excited for upcoming releases and also the excerpts help me decide which books I want to pre order. Thank you for this copy |
As soon as I saw Brit Bennett’s name I squealed! I loved The Mothers and am so excited to read her upcoming release! I’m also looking forward to The Voting Booth after reading the excerpt here. And, of course, Anne Tyler. I’m so anticipating these upcoming titles! |
Where would we all be without the Buzz Books forward planners? Thanks again to Publishers Weekly! |
I love checking these out every year to find new books and authors to add to my tbr but I wish the samples were broken down into separate genres/ages of books instead of all lumped together. Thank you for putting it together. |

Thanks for the sneak peek of some awesome books that are coming out soon. . Put many on my tbr list for the release dates. |
Ahhhhhhhh! So many amazing books coming out this Spring and Summer! Cannot wait to read ALL of them!! Thanks for the sneak peak!! |
Buzz Books provides a great glimpse into some of the books being released later this year. It introduced me to some new authors and titles I hadn't previously heard of, there are many I'm excited to read in the coming months. |
This year we have 44 soon to be released new books. The categories are fiction, debut, non fiction and Young adults. The excerpts are lengthy enough to get a feeling for the book and allows a good insight into the literary world. I always look forward to the Buzzbook edition and cant read the excerpts fast enough. |
really enjoy these previews because it helps me discover books i might have missed otherwise. i'm really excited for several of these books! |
Good previews, always enjoy these types of previews. Found quite a few new books that I will want to read. |

This is always a pleasure to browse through to get the inside scoop on upcoming titles for consideration. |
Thanks so much for another wonderful sampler of coming attractions! I'm in love with Buzz Books -- they have introduced me to so many amazing authors that I might not have tried otherwise. I'm already looking forward to next season's offerings. |

I love Buzz Books! The only problem is that my virtual "To Read"stack gets higher than my head for the upcoming several seasons. |

Thank you so much for all the sneak peaks! There looks to be some very interesting books coming out soon, and I cannot wait. While I probably won’t read most of the books sampled, I find this one of the most helpful things I can get each season as a bookseller. |
If you’re new to these Buzz Book samplers I highly recommend you give it a try. I discovered them last year and it’s a really fun way to check out new books. I found a couple I loved last year that surprised me by being out of my normal reading genres. I found a couple in this sampler that also seemed promising and immediately went to request them. This sampler will give you a great opportunity to check out different books and see what might appeal to you. We all know some books can sound great but not end up being our style of book so with this sampler you can check out the author’s writing style to see if it’s a good fit. It’s like the book version of a variety of trailers. I did find this sampler to be more political than I’d prefer but it’s super easy to skip through books that don’t appeal to you. On my kindle I can go to the table of contents and easily skip a book so you do not have to page through a book that’s not for you. This is a really great way to check out a variety of authors and styles to see if there’s something that might surprise you. |
This was a very informative book and gave me some really good ideas and was easy to go through. I do feel this book was well written and was good for any one from a beginning reader to an advanced reader and gave an array of suggestions. I would recommend this book to anyone who is lost as to what to read or find next. |
