A great cross section of upcoming works from all genres.  Very helpful in planning fall reading and finding books that appeal.

This book was very helpful in discovering new authors and titles to introduce to my bookclubs.  It is divided into categories and most books have a summary and excerpts.

I think I look forward to the Buzz Books release almost as much as I look forward to some book releases. As always, a pleasure to read and discover debut authors, new releases and get a feel for what my TBR list might look like later this year. Some of the selections, especially the "Most Anticipated" ones look REALLY good and I have already put in requests for them. I am also very fond of some of the releases in Science and Technology. There are a lot of up-and-coming books on climate change that I have been eager to read.

It's great to see what new books are on the horizon for this fall. I really enjoyed this overview and marked a few books to look for on netgalley. I'm most excited about the new book by Matt Haig, I'm hoping I'll get to read it early on here.

Always great to get a look at upcoming books for next season. Will reference it throughout the summer for new titles.

It's always great to see a Buzz Books because it can help you know what's coming out and plan your requests.  My feedback rate is terrible because when I first started requesting books, I thought, "Wow, this is awesome, I'm going to get all the books!" and was never able to read everything.  With the Buzz Books, I can see which authors I"ll want to request so I don't get overloaded.

What a treat to read the Buzz Books 2020:Fall/Winter edition. I devoured it in one sitting. Requested several ARC's I would otherwise have never known about.  Thank you NetGalley.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Publisher’s Lunch for an ARC in exchange for an honest book review. All thoughts and opinions are 100% my own and independent of receiving an advance copy.


Publishing has been in a bit of a funk lately (like everything else) because of COVID. Book releases have been delayed and even though there have been new releases, there hasn’t been the huge spring/summer influx that we have seen in previous years. 

This has been a shot in the arm that I needed to get excited about the new books coming out in the fall/winter season. Of course, my TBR list took a bit hit. It had been looking pretty sparse lately, not that I was complaining, but it was nice to get excited about upcoming new releases. There are a couple of advantages that Buzz Books offers. One, it is a one stop shopping catalogue, if you enjoy going through the long list. The list is divided up into sections, making it easy to pick what you like. For example, if you aren’t into nonfiction, politics, then you can easily skip that section. 

I waded through the first few categories which are basically all fiction, it is just split up into things like Debut authors, Highly Anticipated, Emerging Voices. For me, that is all one big category. The other thing I love about Buzz Books is that it has Commercial Fiction, which helps me stay up-to-date on all of my series that have new books coming out. This season there is John Grisham, Michael Connelly, Jeffrey Archer, Sandra Brown, Janet Evanovich, Vince Flynn, Robert Galbraith, Ken Follett, Danielle Steel, Elin Hilderbrand, Mary Higgins Clark, and Lisa Jewell just to name a few. 

There was a nice selection of excerpts from upcoming releases that you can read a few chapters from and get a sense of whether or not you would like to add it to your list. These are lesser known authors but ones that have a lot of positive buzz around their releases. If you are a member of NetGalley you can click through and request an ARC for those you are interested in. Sometimes, if you are lucky, the link will allow you to read it rather than make a request. 

This fall there might not be the plethora of books they usually release, but there is still an abundance of great books in every genre. I really am excited for the upcoming season because if we are under quarantine again, at least I will have some new books to keep me company.

A few good ones in the debut section, can’t say l like most of the books. Some of the young adults writers had promise but a lot of the fiction writers were a bit old formula for there beginnings. Most where hard to get into.

This was my first time reading one of these and I couldn't read it fast enough. So many more books for my TBR pile. Love the summaries and snippets of upcoming books. 

Thanks so much to Netgalley for my ebook copy.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading through the samples of the books that will be published in fall/winter of this year. I am looking forward to many of these titles and cannot wait to read the entire books once published!

Love reading buzz books. Has all the new releases in one area and easy for me to access and review. Especially looking forward to the new Ken Follet this fall. I read Pillars of the Earth and we have several patrons excited for the prequel.
