I read this ARC for an honest review
All thoughts and opinions are mine

I love these Buzz Books and really enjoy going through them
They list what's up and coming in the publishing world and whet's the appetite in letting you read excerpts and chapters so when the book comes up for advanced reading I usually can't wait to get stuck in

Would thoroughly recommend

Buzz Books are always great. I was a little disappointed to not have one for the first half of the year. Love this and highly recommend for anyone that is a reading enthusiast.

One of the Best Buzz Books for a Fall/Winter Collection of Fiction and NonFiction books for a year (2020), I have ever read! First, lists upon lists of ALL the books coming out this fall and winter, from our our BIG, BIG, Popular Authors, of course. PLUS, so many debut authors that are just so FANTASTIC this year you'll need to make time to read everyone.
I started reading the excerpts, so graciously provided by the publishers, authors, and Buzz Books, and couldn't stop reading! I want them all! NOW! I'm BREATHLESS, they are all so good.
This is the season to READ! Get your BUZZ BOOK 2020 for Fall/Winter now. You do NOT want to miss out!

A great collection of anticipated reads for the winter season, with links to netgalley requests. They're a great way to learn about upcoming titles and making access to them easier. And there are so many good books coming out later this year - I can't wait.

I'm glad I stumbled upon the Buzz Books Great Reads for Fall/Winter 2020. It contains books of interest that will be published later on in the year and includes excerpts of the books that they believe will do well. They have quite a selection to chose from and this is a great resource to see what's coming!!

Some great books on offer here - as usual the standard is extremely high. Unusually though, only one of the books I clicked through on was available to request - hopefully there's better luck next time.
Regardless of my bad luck with requestable books, I still look forward to these Buzz collections twice a year - they're not only a great sampler of upcoming releases, but a remarkably accurate market gauge.

So many interesting choices in this edition of Buzz Books 2020 Fall/Winter. Also some new authors to me. With some lengthy novels I am sure there is something for everyone to enjoy.

This reference text is at the top of my most helpful list. I appreciate NetGalley's generosity in sharing this collection of previews. I look for it every quarter. It is the best!

I always love seeing the new / next season’s release of Buzz Books and finding out which of my favourite authors have new books coming out, those new-to-me authors who I’ve been meaning to read, as well as getting a chance for a peek inside some of these books to be released in the coming season, Fall / Winter.

There are many, many more books listed, some with excerpts, although not the majority, but it helps me at least attempt to plan out the coming months of reading.

A very interesting publication. I liked the fact that there was a comprehensive list of all upcoming publications at the beginning. A lot of information to absorb about upcoming releases.
