So much literary buzz! From nonfiction to novels, these samplers provide essential sneak peeks to guide my reading list for longer reviews . Thank you for the early access to diverse voices from debut authors to old favorites. It's all about discovery.

I always enjoy Buzz Books.
The upcoming releases that really stuck out to me from this particular edition are:

Brit Bennett’s The Vanishing Half - This book has been EVERYWHERE. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that even non readers have caught some of the buzz surrounding this book.
Sue Mon Kidd’s The Book of Longings - There were a few things here that caught my attention. First and foremost - a new Sue Monk Kidd book! Second, the first line of the book is “I am Ana. I was the wife of Jesus.” If that doesn’t catch your attention, I don’t know what will.
David Nicholls’ Sweet Sorrow - I loved his book One Day, which means anything he writes, I will at least give a chance.

Any book that ends up listed in one of these Buzz Books are worth your time. Those are just a few of the big name new books.

Was anticipating this to all be kidlit, but there's only a little bit of kidlit in here. Some interesting titles; definitely took notes!

I love this selection of books and have added a lot to my TBR.

I have read Libertie and Seven Days in June and enjoyed both (I loved the latter).

Had I not read this Buzz Book, I would not have added:
When Stars Rain Down, A Time for Monsters, The Lowering Days, Girl in the Walls, The Lamplighter, The First Day of Spring, The Ugly Cry, and Have You Seen Me.

So many books I can't wait to read coming out soon! Too many to even list... I'm looking forward to requesting the next seasonal one of these

This is such a good collection and so very useful!
Besides the fact that has probably all the books that are published in that season, the fact that it includes the synopsis, the sample chapter and the info about the author is just so useful.
So many books, so little time! So this is very helpful in deciding if a book is for me, If I'd like to request an ARC, review it or buy it.
Checking this one out before requesting an ARC I think will help me a lot to choose books that will suite me.

This was my first time reading a compilation like this, as a relatively new book “influencer.” So much fun! Only problem is, I found even more wonderful books I want to read than I had before. Basically I need to become a full-time reader. This whole job thing is getting in the way of my passion. Thanks for putting this great resource together!

I love having a resource, like this one, to learn a bit about books coming out in order to make my list of what I would like to learn more about and/or purchase. The perfect amount of information is provided. Thank you!

Thanks for the sneak preview of books I will want to read in the future. Buzz Books help me see if favourite authors will be publishing but also let me read some new to me authors; I appreciate the chapters I get to review.

As a book reviewer, I absolutely love when Publishers Lunch puts of these seasonal books because you get to see some of the new books that are coming out in that season. Plus you get to read snippets from the books. During the pandemic, I haven't been to any bookstores so getting to read snippets of books online is limited so being able to read this has made a huge impact on my book buying. Great new releases plus quite a few hidden gems I didn't know about. Excited to pick up and read many of these books.

Buzz books 2021
New books and new ideas that bring the stories to the forefront. Looking not only at science fiction but fiction that opens our eyes to human nature. Great tease for the new publications
