I love these comprehensive guides to new releases. They have the best insight and teasers for upcoming titles and are so incredibly helpful in building my TBR list. I always look forward to these!

I always love any information coming out about new books.
What a great way to introduce new titles covers and info about authors.
But be careful it’s easy to over request when you see all the wonderful content coming out.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for providing access to Buzz Books 2021: Spring/Summer.

As I made my way through the excerpts, I started to jot down a list of the books that piqued my interest, but then realized that I was basically just rewriting the Table of Contents. There were a few Summaries that initially had me thinking, "okay, maybe I'll borrow it from the library", but after reading the excerpt, "MUST READ".

The Notables:
Klara and the Sun - I finished this book last week and loved it.


A few quick thoughts:

With Teeth - Left me feeling uneasy and intrigued
The Personal Librarian - A historical fiction that I'm looking forward to reading
Northern Spy - I don't think I've read any suspense novel involving the IRA yet.
Libertie - I want to read more about Libertie and Lenore's life.
Morningside Heights - Sounds like it's going to bring on the tears
When Stars Rain Down - I'm so excited this is coming out in about 2 weeks!
Caul Baby - Beautifully written, CW: infertility
The Plot - I can't wait to get my hands on this one.
After Francesco - This is going to be a difficult, but worthwhile read, isn't it.
The Letter Keeper - I want to read The Water Keeper now in time for The Letter Keeper's pub day.
If the Shoe Fits - I always enjoy Julie Murphy's books.
The Committed - Already on my TBR

To be continued...

This was a great compilation of future book reads. Helped me know what to keep my eye on over the next 6 months. Thank you!

This is a first for me with Buzz Books and it was wonderful! It was a tempting teaser that add a few more books to my TBR list.

Thank you to Netgallwy for the pleasure of reviewing.

I always look forward to these collections of new releases. There are books I am already anticipating as well as many new titles. I especially enjoy the excerpts that are from unexpected authors or topics. It seems that these collections always broaden my scope of choices in a positive way. This maybe a debut author or a new premise for a story. Sometimes it is a nonfiction book that I didn’t know I was interested in reading until reading the excerpt. It seems that this list is well curated and brings a diverse selection. Well done.

A formidable list of the books we will see in early 2021. There are recommended books and excerpts of many of the featured books. Love the list and look forward to post on my insta.

This collection of excerpts from forthcoming books was a great addition to my usual book hunting tools on the internet. .
It contains samples from 45 books premiering in 2021. There is a special emphasis on debut authors as well as well known and best selling authors. Samples found on
Kindle and Libby are generally not available until after publication so avid readers of new releases will appreciate this.
It confirmed my intention to read Northern Spy by Flynn Berry and In the Country of Others by Leila Slimani. I got my first taste of The Last Apothecary by Sarah Penner, The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz, and Last Call by Elon Green.

I always love the Buzz Books because I love to read about the upcoming releases. Thank you so much!

A great mix of extracts of upcoming books that really gives a flavour for some of the most exciting books coming out in 2021.

These are always the BEST way to see what's coming up in publishing and which ones to prioritize to request + read!

Terrific view of what's coming up for spring and summer of 2021. In addition to descriptions of each recommended book, there are excerpts of many.

When I was a kid, I eagerly anticipated the arrival of the Sears “Wishbook” Christmas catalog. My brother and I would pore over the pages of toys, dog-earring the items we hoped to find under the tree. Each new issue of Buzz Books hearkens me back to that childhood ritual.

I begin with the Season Preview and read the entire list of upcoming releases. Then I go to the TOC and select the excerpts I want to read. Excitement builds as I write titles in my TBR and plan library holds and purchases. Just seeing the cover art increases my pulse rate. I was thrilled to receive an ARC for one of my selected titles from NetGalley. Perusing Buzz Books is always a delight, but especially during Covid restrictions. Thank you, Publishers Lunch, for assembling Buzz Books each season.

I love these books, it gives you the perfect opportunity to plan out your "to be read list"
Giving you just enough of a book to know if it's for you.
Unfortunately I did not find too many books that peaked my interest. But there are a few promising releases.

This is like a reader’s bible, you’re never really finished reading it, it’s more like a reference book you keep by your side.
There are literally, lists and lists and lists of books that will be published in 2021 by author,
Title,
Publisher, and
Publish Date.
By Genre, and by Big Authors and Debut authors.
It also contains excerpts from certain books with links to request galleys.
There are 19 excerpts for Fiction, 15 for Debuts, 9 for Nonfiction, and 3 for Young Adult.
You really can’t beat that!
I found 4-5 books in that group, including, The Lost Apothecary!’
Go get it now, on Netgalley!

This is my first time reading a Buzz Books and it looks like I have been missing out! I can't wait to read many of the books featured in the Spring/Summer 2021 edition. Thank you so much for the opportunity to read about them.

I love all books like this. It gave me lots to look forward to. I found new books coming from my favorite authors as well as introducing me to many more that I haven’t read yet.

Thorough list of upcoming titles! I appreciate the organization by genre and inclusion of excerpts. Thanks!

Where has this book been all my life! If your fed up of buying new books that you don't like this is the book for you. Filled to the brim with all up and coming pre release excepts of the next 2 seasons books. You can see if you like the book before you purchase them. I now have a list of 12 must read books including a YA book which I dont normally read I will be looking out for this books next issue 😉
I have already reviewed this on goodreads and all my book groups

Phenomenal compilation of upcoming 2021 Spring/Summer book releases. Buzz Books is a book enthusiast Dream. This publication typically comes out twice a year and I have a love/hate relationship with it. LOVE learning and getting excited about the latest new book releases——HATE growing my TBR list by 15 books every time I devour a copy.

Buzz Books offers a detailed list of new publications, typically includes notes from authors, book descriptions and several preview chapters, so if you weren’t already hooked by the description, you find you can’t resist delving into the chapters. Now you’re consumed and find yourself feverishly reading and hopelessly adding books to your “Want To Read” List.

I look forward to this every publication every Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter. I’m a Buzz Book Groupie!
Many thanks to Publishers Lunch and Netgalley for my ARC.
