This is a great tool for providing reader's advisory. I can see libraries purchasing this and adding this title to the reference collection.
As always, Buzz Books are amazing to read! It's very helpful to be able to read samples of some of the top books that will be published soon!
After reading/skimming the latest Buzz Books, I requested ARCs of Chanel Sisters and Evening and the Morning (Historical Fiction), We Keep the Dead Close (True Crime), and We Keep the Dead Close (YA). A fifth I would have loved to review but it isn't (yet?) available. I swore I was done with YA novels, just too many mediocre reads in that genre lately, but We Keep the Dead Close hooked me hard and I simply couldn't pass it up.
Some samples were a pass because the subject didn't interest me, I didn't like the 'voice', or some other bias, but that's the beauty of Buzz Books. Check out a bunch of upcoming books in no time before you decide what to really dig into!
Highly recommend.

I loved reading Buzz Books because I can see both a quick summary of the novel and then dive into a longer excerpt of the book. This is a great way to test out the author and preview the writing before picking up the full book. It's also very helpful that the link to request the book on NetGalley and the publisher's contact information is available with each title. I'm adding so many of these books to my list!
I keep coming across Book Buzz here on NetGalley but have never actually read one. This was really helpful! I love all the samples it gives you, the direct links to the books for request and all the books from different genres it tells you about. I'll definitely be picking up another one of these.
As always, this magazine is very helpful in showcasing some of the buzzy books that are due to be published in the next six months. I always look forward to seeing this download.
Great catalog! Got me excited for the books to come this fall, can't wait to read them! I found the categories well organized and well separated, will definitely use it to make my fall/winter TBR
Thank you Buzz Books and NetGalley for the sneak peek into some great reads for fall and winter. I have already requested quite a few of them.
Informative newsletter. Thanks for putting these together for avid readers like myself. I always find new books to add to my To-Be-Read shelf.
I recently reviewed Buzz Books 2020: Romance and there I found good information but entirely not enough on the subject. Upon reviewing Buzz books 2020: Fall/Winter I have had the reverse issue because of the generic genre of Commercial Fiction. While it encompasses so much it would be really nice to find sub-headers to accompany what a reader is really looking for. I know it's a little nick picky but that is really my only issue. While I recognize names like James Patterson and Ken Follett, I don't really read those authors. However, if I could quickly see if there are notable books within the genres that I do read I might turn to Buzz Books again to make sure I haven't missed an important new arrival. Because there is much more variety I have up graded my rating to four stars.
Thank you for giving me a look at coming books. I look forward to the Buzz Books every season. I found some books and authors that I may have never come across.
This was a fun little spread of book teasers. I’ve added a few to my list of must-reads and more to my TBR pile.
Some pretty great books coming out soon. I look forward to reading them in full.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the advance copy. Thank you Netgalley for giving me a sneak peak. pretty great books coming out soon. Thank you Netgalley for giving me a sneak peak.
Thank you for the opportunity to preview these titles. There are lots to recommend to library patrons! I am especially looking forward to reading the rest of Matt Haig's The Midnight Library. Thank you again.
A very cool way to find out what's coming out!! I learned about so many books I didn't realize were coming out, and lengthened my tbr by about a dozen new reads. So excited to see these actually come out!
Great as usual. I find the Buzz Books an invaluable resource for my book tube channel. It includes a useful selection of and insight into future publications.
This will enable me to discuss upcoming publications to my subscribers which gives those interested in a particular book to pre order their copies.
It’s exciting to see books by incredible authors coming out soon! Most excited about books from Yaa Gyasi, Mariana Enriquez, and Nicole Krauss. A few of the exercpts were intriguing and I look forward to reading the more from authors I hadn’t read before this - like Camilla Bruce and Bryan Washington.
(There are some absolutely deplorable names in this list and whoever agreed to promote them in even a small way should be entirely ashamed of themselves and take a long look in the mirror. QTBIPOC authors deserve more promotion and pay than racist and abusive cis white men.)
This was my first time reading Buzz Books, and what a great way to get a preview of some must reads!
What a wonderful way of discovering new and upcoming authors and books! I adore adding titles to my endless TBR - thank you for enabling my massive book buying problem.
Excellent preview of upcoming books! Exciting to read about upcoming books from favorite and new authors!
