I am pleasantly surprised by the content in this book. The lists and excerpts make it easy to find new authors and jump directly to categories of interest. This will definitely be my go-to resource for narrowing down my TBR this fall/winter. Thank you NetGalley for the digital copy.

LOVE THIS! Since BookCon is canceled, I will use this almost exclusively to find upcoming book club suggestions.

This is my first time reading one of the Buzz Books, and I am pretty much hooked. The Fall/Winter 2020 Publishing Preview provided an expanded list of books coming out, categorized as The Notables, Highly Anticipated, Emerging Voices, Debut, Commercial Fiction, and Nonfiction including Political & Current Events, Social Issues, Science & Technology, History & Crime, Essay, Criticism & More, and Biography & Memoir. Although there was very little information provided for these upcoming titles - basically author, title, publisher and publication date - going through the list definitely got me excited about new books coming out!

The Buzz Books Fall/Winter 2020 collection includes excerpts from books in a number of categories including Fiction (15), Debut (9), Nonfiction (3), and Young Adult (3) Most of the book profiles include a short summary, followed by an excerpt - usually a chapter or two, and concluding with an about the author section and contact information.

I found a number of books I'm interesting in reading and reviewing among the Fall/Winter 2020 offerings. The nice thing is, I can usually tell if I will enjoy the book within the first few chapters, so this format was perfect for me. I was able to get a bit of the story while also familiarizing myself with the voice and the writer's take on storytelling, characterization and plotting.

I'll be adding Buzz Books to my list of resources for locating new books to read and review. It's a valuable tool, and one that offers me the chance to learn more about a wide range of books coming out.

I love these Buzz samplers! Who doesn’t love a book version of trailers? I found a few gems I loved in last year’s editions which were my first so I was excited to see what was in this year’s edition. As before there are a wide variety of books in this version. If you are worried about how easy they are to page through, which was my concern before I tried, they are super easy to navigate on a Kindle. Each sample is a chapter heading so you can very easily skip the ones that do not interest you. I love the variety of stories to be found inside so I highly recommend checking it out and seeing which ones you cannot wait to read.

I'm still pretty new to netgalley, but I keep seeing this as a book to request and finally decided why not?? Which was a brilliant idea! This book gives a great look into what's to come in the book world and has added more titles to my TBR. On this one I actually found some books for my most anticipated and others I'm quite looking forward to.

This is so great. Thank you!

Great Idea. Forewarned is forearmed. Nothing better than being in the know. Seldom are readers proved with an opportunity to read text from books that will be published in the future. Lets face in promo pieces are what they sat they are. Reading actual text makes a decision about acquiring a book much easier for sure.

I always look forward to these quarterly because they are a great way to find new reads. A lot of these are already available on Netgalley so it's another way to learn even more about titles you may be interested in requesting. There were a few titles in here I was thinking about requesting so this helped me make my decision. I highly recommend all Netgalley users download this and use it as a tool for finding new reads.

I can't wait to hold some of these titles in my hands. I've added a few to my TBR list. I don't want to wish summer away, but I will be waiting impatiently for this fall/winter collection to hit the shelves.

I'm excited to receive this catalog and can hardly wait to read and review some of the books inside! Many thanks to Buzz Books and NetGalley for the opportunity!

As usual, this collection of previews is full of exciting new releases. The four big stand outs for me that will be immediate must buys are;
In the Garden of Spite by Camilla Bruce (this book looks like a terrifying read - I can hardly wait)
The Midnight Library by Matt Haig (HOW DREAMY!!)
Black Widows by Cate Quinn (The polygamy spite conspiracy wives murder husband story we’ve all been waiting for!!)
We Were Restless Things (this one just seems utterly haunting)

This is an excellent list to keep track of upcoming releases! Will be looking forward to the next edition. Thank you.

It’s great having access to these excerpts and getting the opportunity to put things on my wishlist for later in the year, including titles I wouldn’t otherwise have considered. A lot of variety presented so something for everyone.

Plenty of diversity here. Excerpts key to getting a sense of author’s voice. Most excited about Sue Miller’s Monogamy. Haven’t read her in a long time; her insight reminds me of Ann Patchett’s who I have kept up with, mostly recently with her exceptional The Dutch House. Also looking forward to The Chanel Sisters by Judith Little. Have read two beautifully written books about Chanel, but didn’t know she had a sister. Third is Cher Ami and Major Whittlesy by Kathleen Rooney.. Great way to learn about upcoming titles to consider reviewing. Thanks.
