This was my first time reading a Buzz Books edition and I wasn't disappointed! What a great way to add books to your "to be read" list! I will be reading more of these in the future!

I always love seeing teasers for upcoming books. It's like going to the movies to watch the previews to new movie releases. I go through the Buzz Books and pick out the books I MUST add to my reading list.

Really useful for new releases - I love reading the excerpts especially from debut authors to get a sense of the writing style. My TBR list now includes a lot of books I wouldn't have known to include. Look forward to reading more.

Super excited to see what is upcoming in the fall. This helped me curate a list of what to keep my eyes peeled for. I also subscribe to Book of the Month and we are always trying to determine picks. I feel like this gives me an insider's look.

There are so many great authors whose books are releasing that your “To Be Read” booklist will take you to Christmas to complete. Sue Miller, Ken Follett, Alexandra Bracken, and more!

This is a great way to read excerpts from all the included authors and get ahead of the curve on the books causing all the buzz this year.

Read, build your list, and enjoy!

Rating: 5 stars

What’s not to love about a book-about-books? There are so many blockbuster, up-and-coming, and debut author’s works excerpted in this book. The choices have gone a long way to filling my reading dance card for a good portion of this fall and winter. I started reading the excerpts provided in this compendium, and now I'm having a hard time waiting until their publication dates so I can finish the books!

Some up-coming favorites:
The Notables
John Banville – Snow 10/6
Alice Hoffman – Magic Lessons (prequel to Practical Magic) 10/6
Jane Smiley – Perestroika in Paris 12/1

Highly Anticipated
Yaa Gyasi – Transcendent Kingdom 9/8
Rumaan Alam – Leave the World Behind 10/6
Sue Miller – Monogamy 9/8

I love this resource to plan my upcoming reads. So much fun to read the snippets of the books and see what is my style or what I think I'll pass on. This is so helpful to know what's coming soon.

The perfect way to find new books and authors! Reading this excerpts, I found at least a half dozen books to download to Net Galley. It was very convenient that they had the links at the end of each excerpt.

Perfect for creating my wishlist for the end of the year, as always. My favourite way to find new authors and who is releasing something I might want. Loved the mix of excerpts as well

I was able to read Buzz Books 2020: Fall/Winterby Publishers Lunch Buzz Books  for free from Netgalley for providing me with an advanced ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a stellar look into the books we can expect from Adult publishing this Fall/Winter season. Particular favorites were LORE by Alexandra Bracken, as I have never read any book by her before, and THE WITCH HUNTER by Max Seeck. I was glad to be given the opportunity to read the samplers of these books.
