Thank you so much for putting this together. It greatly helped me in building my TBR list. There are so many good books out there. It is hard to pick my next read.

An useful too for everyone who wants to stay updated on future releases, and discover books with juicy previous.

Once again, so many wonderful extracts.

I do like a good debut and I've already purchased One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot although I haven't read it yet.   I also like the sound of The Music of Bees.

The other titles I'm going to keep in mind are The Personal Librarian, Libertie and In the Country of Others.  I'm in the UK and the publication dates aren't always the same.  I think Libertie is available (but quite expensive at the moment) and I believe the other two will be published later this year.

It's been a strange year. I seem to have had a kind of lockdown brain fog and haven't had the concentration to stay focused and have read fewer books, but I have now read a few of the titles featured in Buzz Books Spring/Summer 2020 and Fall/Winter 2020.

Thank you for providing some interesting and intriguing extracts.

Although I only found a couple books in this one that truly interested me, it's always great to have the chance to consider the options!

I always find the Buzz books very handy when I am looking for something different and out of my comfort zone. They have a wide selection of books that they highlight and it gives me a wonderful opportunity to try and read and if I am not accepted for a NetGalley selection then I wait and purchase. I have over 2;809 books in my Kindle because I am a bookworm!

I definitely would recommend people take a look at the Buzz Books for a chance at some different authors.

I received a free advanced copy from NetGalley and these are my willingly given thoughts and opinions.

Thank you to Publishers Lunch and NetGalley for the ARC of this book.

Excellent for learning of upcoming books and excerpts of them! Great way to review upcoming books!

What a fabulous all-in-one-place resource! For any person who loves good book recommendations and particularly enjoys being familiar with books that everyone is sure to be talking about, this is the item to peruse! Sometimes author names are familiar and sometimes this resource introduces you to authors that you will be glad you are now know. Educational and interesting and fun. Thank you to Net Galley for being my source for learning about Buzz Books!

This is great for planning my TBR list. I am really looking forward to so many of the upcoming books, as well as the list for Fall/Winter.

I found this book to be a very useful collection development tool. It is well-organized, easy to use and is helpful for readers advisory. I was able to locate several titles that I will be recommending for purchase. I also used it to suggest forthcoming titles to my library users and book clubs..

I always enjoy reading these books. I think it's a great way for readers to know what is upcoming so we can get our pre-orders ready :)

So many new titles!

I enjoyed the YA thriller, “Have You Seen Me?” by Alexandrea Weis the best, along with Lisa Scottoline’s upcoming release. Quite the collection!

Always LOVE Buzz Books! I get so excited to read about all the upcoming releases that are coming out. I just wish there was a way to actually subscribe to this and have it mailed. I'd love to have a print copy!

This is an easy way of seeing upcoming books and creating a to-read list. I definitely got a lot of good ideas of what I want to be reading this year!

This was great to give a peek of the hot books coming out this year! Thanks for the opportunity to read this.

Overall I think this book has way too many historical fiction and Romance genre dominated story's. And that's why I can't give it a higher rating it just didn't feel that diverse.

1- Northern Spy by Flynn Berry (the writing is not difficult to read but the story is difficult to understand. Time feels like it skips very quickly) I could somewhat see myself buying it.

2- When Stars Rain Down by Angela Jackson - Brown (The author's note at the beginning was heart felt and it helps to showcase their intent with the book which makes it feel real though it's not non fiction. I can total feel the characters exhaustion when it comes to heat of an early summer. It's described very well. It probably wasn't a good idea to be hungry while reading this. So much delicious foods).

3- The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz (the concept is intriguing but the writing is difficult to get into)

4- After Francesco by Brian Malloy (the opening excerpt quote by Vito Russo was a great note to start on. I immediately felt swelling in my heart while reading it. The tone was understandably very angry but it was also very rapid. Some things were hard to understand. Was Live Eddy being used to refer to him when he was alive because they also use dead Eddy?)

5- If The Shoe Fits by Julie Murphy (First I can't believe she has another new book coming out already. Based off the synopsis it makes the story seem like it's going to be more about feeling confident and empowered rather than have a heavy focus on a romance, but the cover showcase two figures and although it could always be platonic It's causing confusion right off the bat. Though I love the concept I don't really like the overly sarcastic dialogue. It feels wrong considering the Cinderella stories are all very serious and dark.)

6- A Time For Monsters by Gareth Worthington (The writing is extremely simplistic. It feels weird. Even small details are made out to be simple like complex design of a chair.)

7- The First Day Of Spring by Nancy Tucker (the concept is actually somewhat interesting. I love the writing. It's flowery but not too confusing. "His face was the color of milk Jelly." It's a very beautiful way of saying the boy was white, his skin dull. And mushy since his muscles are relaxing.) This is the one book I am definitely buying.

I love that publishers and authors have this way of giving readers a snapshot of what is coming up. I think its a brilliant way to give us a taste for what might be on the way and get us excited for it. That being said, not all the samples in the batch were for me, some I enjoyed and others not so much. But that doesn't mean I still wouldn't recommend this collection to anyone looking for the next thing to pick up and isn't sure what to go for. I think these lots are also really handy for when you're in a reading slump and just can't get into a full on novel.

Thank you for the advanced copy! It was extremely helpful for me to see upcoming books that I am excited to read! I will be posting my review on social media, to include Instagram, Amazon, Goodreads, and Storygraph!

I have been reading these collections since I created my NetGalley account, they never fail to get me excited for books to come. This one was slightly disappointing however. I found myself uninterested in most books and the NetGalley links just took me to wish. I miss the days where the book would be immediately available after reading the excerpt.

2021 is looking like an exciting year for book lovers. My TBR grows every day. Definitely enjoyed the snippets in this Buzz Books guide. I'm keeping an eye on quite a few of the titles from this guide.

Absolutely great list and summaries whether you are looking for your next great read, brushing up on contemporary publications, or just killing and hour. Loved the organization and thoroughness of each section!
