I always live reading the excerpts from future bestsellers! I usually just go to one genre and read those but it is nice to have options!
Thanks Netgalley!

This book was the perfect resource for upcoming reads. I have never had a book that highlighted all the nuggets for me; this is gold!

I would recommend this to any bookworm. It was wonderful and I will definitely use this as a reference throughout the year of books to request and look forward to.

What a gift to readers! BUZZ BOOKS offers readers the opportunity to be “ an industry insider” . . . Offering access to summaries and “ snippets” of dozens of upcoming titles. It is an unparalleled way to obtain a sneak peek at the most anticipated titles in fiction and non- fiction. I just love having access to these titles and authors.

I always love when the Buzz Books comes out. It’s great getting a very early sneak peek at what is coming up. I find the way it is put together easy to navigate and I always add many books to my TBR

I love reading these Buzz Books compilations because I always find great books I might not otherwise have ever picked up. One of the highlights for me in this compilation was The Sympathizer - a beautifully written excerp which I hope to read in full soon on a topic I ordinarily don't read - espionage. I also enjoyed The Plot, about a writer who may have stolen a story, and the Perfect Ruin, which are both right up my usual thriller alley.

Other highlights for me were Ten Days in June, an unexpected and ribald sex positive Own Voices story, and The Very Nice Box, a quirky-seeming, fun book about a woman who finds love while designing Ikea-style furniture. The only thing I don't love about these previews is that they ALWAYS add to my growing TBR pile. This was a treat and had a widely varied and fun compilation of genres There are also some great non=fiction picks here like a memoir from a chef, a book about women changing the landscape during WWII, and Dr. Jen Gunter's new book on menopause.

A fun, diverse, and interesting grab bag of great new writing for the spring!

This was very helpful. I found several books that I have added to my TBR list and am super excited for their release.

Such a great collection of excerpts. I've definitely found more than a couple books to add to my TBR now.

As always, Buzz Books is so great to read! It's such a great way to get a taste of the upcoming biggest hits!

I added so many books to my TBR. 2021 looks like another great year for great books! I love seeing an increase in diversity, equality and inclusion in upcoming releases.

What an amazing book that shares all upcoming releases for the 2021 Spring/Summer seasons. I love how it is categorized and has a section for debut authors! I have noted some upcoming releases I am looking forward to and found some I probably would not have heard of if it weren't for this book. Thank you Netgalley!

HOW didn't I know these existed? Buzz Books provides a snapshot guide of all upcoming releases. I can easily make lists of the stories I want to request, download, or add to my wishlist. I will be on the lookout for this handy guide every single season!

I love "flipping" through this every time it comes out! A great way to keep tabs on what books are new and upcoming. Thanks NetGalley!

BuzzBooks is always a precious guide into the literary world!! Therefore, I'm looking forward to seeing what authors and books are included in it.

Buzz Books 2021 Spring/Summer
By Publisher’s Lunch

Buzz Books 2021 Spring/Summer gives the reader an inside look at the “buzziest books” of spring and summer 2021. The first few chapters are a tantalizing taste of what is to come in buzz worthy books soon available at your library and bookstores.

This literary preview has sections with the reader in mind. First and foremost is fiction, which is broken down to these categories: The Notables, Highly Anticipated, Emerging Voices, Debut and Commercial Fiction. Then we move on to Nonfiction, categorized as follows: Biography & Memoir, Business, Politics, and Current Events, Essays, Criticism & More, History and Crime, Science & Technology and finishes with Social Issues. As you can see there is something for everyone.

Each book has a few chapters available to read. It is like having a bookstore and/or a library with all of the latest books just waiting for you to crack the spine and dive in. Like most bibliophiles, I began reading immediately, keeping a careful list of the books I want to read. My list is lengthy, and full of authors both bestselling and novices.

A few on my list include:

A Perfect Ruin by Shanora Williams – publish date 6/29/21
Eternal by Lisa Scottoline – publish date 3/23/21
The Letter Keeper by Charles Martin – publish date 6/8/21
Morningside Heights by Joshua Henkin – publish date 6/15/21
The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz – publish date 5/4/21
Finding Freedom – by Erin French – publish date 4/6/21
Last Call by Elon Green publish date 3/9/11
The Last Fallen Star by Graci Kim – publish date 5/4/21

I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves to read. There is something from everyone’s favorite genre all packaged up neatly together. This smorgasbord of delights is a must read.

Nice to see all the books I need to keep an eye out for, especially for requesting on NetGalley. Also nice to see the debut novel section.

This is a great way to discover upcoming books and I always look forward to it's release. I have added quite a few of these books to my TBR and look forward to their releases!

Nice intro to new titles and authors. The excerpts were wonderful. It was a great exposure to new genres and books I might not have previously chosen. I appreciate the offering and look forward to the journey into these new titles

I always look forward to Buzz Books! Great way to see what books are coming soon so I can add more books to my ever-growing TBR!

No idea this existed. this was a great way to Discover new book releases by reading the first three chapters of the book before requesting. I found some real gems in there like music of the bees and the new Leila Slimani book. Now that I know about the buzz books I will certainly keep in mind for the autumn winter 2021 releases. Thank you NetGalley for providing me a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Great source for details and excerpts of upcoming book releases. Look forward to reading these every few months as they are published to add more books to my request lists.
