I always enjoy flipping through the Buzz Books to read excerpts of new fascinating book releases and my to-be-read list always grows! 2021 has some great books arriving!

I have such a love/hate relationship with the samplers and catalogs on NetGalley. They are such a fantastic resource for finding new books, and yet my TBR pile will now last me until I'm approximately 135 years old. Thank you so much to NetGalley and BuzzBooks for the opportunity to look at this sampler in return for my honest opinion, and for supporting my book addiction.

Buzz books provides an overview of upcoming publications and includes some extracts.
I love having a list of books being published, so I can plan my reading for the next few months. It's also useful to make sure I don't miss any upcoming books by my favourite authors and it's a great way to discover new authors.
Many thanks to Publishers Lunch and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed the Buzz books 2021! It's an awesome way to find out about the titles to watch this coming Spring/Summer, and it was great to read the excerpts of authors I might never have chosen to read otherwise. Great read and resource!

This selection seemed to be heavier than usual on black authors, not surprising these days.
I requested at least 6 novels after going through (most of) this edition. I really liked The Very Nice Box (something I wouldn't have even glanced at ordinarily), but found Seven Days in June to be a great disappointment.

Since BB is always free, it's a wonderful way to sample a wide variety of books without investing time and money in the full length versions.

My thanks to Publishers Lunch and netgalley.com for the ARC.

I absolutely LOVE Buzz Books and look forward to reading it every time it's published. In this edition, I'm excited about the new books from Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney, Lisa Scottoline, and Emma Stone.

Have always enjoyed these at conferences. These are great at giving me a heads up to what I should be reading or recommending.

So many great titles coming this year. My TBR for this year just got longer. I'm super excited for Home Is Not A Country. Love novels in verse.

I always appreciate these Buzz Books editions. I found lots in here that I added to my TBR list. I'm especially looking forward to Naima Coster's new book, as well as Gabriela Garcia's debut.

So many good books coming up .... most probably not enough time for them all. Looking forwards to the Lisa Scottoline and few others. Really enjoy the reading of the books excerpt.

Each time I enjoy reading the excerpts from Buzz books. It gives an excellent overview of the new publications and a wide variety of authors, styles, and topics. It makes it easier to decide what to buy and read in the future. Worth mentioning is the selection of new and first-time published authors which enables me to find new favorites or at least try out some of the newcomers.

Great coverage of upcoming books. A good look into what to expect from upcoming seasons, although I wish it included more YA books (does Pub Lunch still even release YA buzz books?).

This preview of upcoming releases gives you a sneak peek at highlighted titles, just enough to pique your interest and let you get a feel for the book and the author’s writing style. I’m especially interested in reading Northern Spy, Seven Days in June, Morningside Heights, The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot, The Lost Apothecary, The First Day of Spring, Facing the Mountain, The Menopause Manifesto and Home Is Not a Country.
