Wow! So many amazing books to add to my TBR List. I love how the genes are separated.,that made It easy to get to my favorites quickly.,I don’t know what I’d do without these Buzz Books?

Buzz Books 2021 is a compilation of new books coming out this Fall and Winter. It has a wonderful list of books from fiction to non-fiction and is broken down by categories such as: adult fiction, YA Fiction and Debut authors. For each book, this catalog provides a summary of the book as well as a sample from each, along with all the details you need to know about the book such as publisher and release date. This is my go-to book each year to find out what new books are on the horizon and which ones I absolutely need to add to my TBR. It also allows me to pre-order the ones I really want in order to support the authors. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in upcoming books as it is comprehensive and informative. Love reading these catalogs and look forward to the next season's offering.

My first go at a Buzz Books collection - and I’m so glad I took on the challenge! Initially I was drawn to the familiar - authors, themes - but as I kept reading I discovered so many new ones that have now landed on my ever-growing to-read list. This is a fantastic initiative and a great way to expand your boundaries and get excited about a new season’s releases.

Love these book buzzes - exciting to dive into so many of these titles, and this helps put them on my radar!

A great selection of upcoming Fall and Winter releases of 2021.

This selection includes excerpts from upcoming debut authors as well as non fiction titles as well as highly anticipated YA titles.

The Buzz Books collections are always one of my go-to collections for each season and this one is no exception. These collections give a list of the anticipated release dates and publications by type of book and genre for the following season of reading. They always highlight some works, either stellar debuts or well known authors with a new work being published. This edition has some great options for everyone. They also have a link after each excerpt for requesting the eARC for that particular work.
This is always a treat! Thank you NetGalley and publishers for the chance to peruse the upcoming titles.

Many thanks for the ARC provided by Buzz Books

Excellent summary of fall winter books. I appreciate the summaries before the excerpt very much. I wish the pub dates were listed near the top of each listing. But I did discover some books I'm interested in reading, including Matrix, Small Things Like These, Perpetual West, The Book of Form and Emptiness, Monster in the Middle, and Olga Dies Dreaming. I'd only heard about one of these books (Matrix) before reading Buzz Books 2021: Fall/Winter.

This is a lifesaver book. At the beginning of the year, I was so confused of where to start. There are so many books that are being published all the time. So having this book is actually amazing where I can get all the books that would create a buzz in this winter and fall.


Thanks a ton NetGalley for this one.

I always welcome these Buzz Books! They give wonderful enticing samples of current books to be read. These selections are ones I am still waiting to read but am glad they are here to help me chose which on should be next

I love being able to read excerpts of upcoming books before requesting them! I try not to go overboard in my requesting, so reading an excerpt in advance helps me decide which ones I should actually request.. I usually find some gems in these, and I find myself widening my scope of genres: win-win!

Informative and useful as always! Thanks for always putting together such an amazing comprehensive list of up and coming titles!

These compilations are always helpful to see what’s coming out soon and what requires further reading.

What a great preview of the upcoming new releases! I imensely enjoied sampling these books and added a few on preorder. We can expect this Fall to be the most exciting bookish seasons in the past couple of years.
Thank you for providing this catalogue!

Great to see this preview of the fall books! I'm especially hoping to read the new Lauren Goff novel. She is one of my favorite authors.

WOW!!! Fall/winter 2021 has a lot of great sounding books coming up.
Must read excerpts for me from Lauren Groff, Noah Harley,Kimberly McCreight and Richard Osman.
There is a great list of expected releases which includes too many repeat authors for me, in addition to the above : Anthony Doerr, Jonathan Franzen, David Gutterson,Sally Rooney,Elizabeth Strout,Miriam Toews, Colton Whitehead, Jon Mc Gregor, Amor Towles, Nelson DeMille, Paula Hawkins, Anthony Horowitz, Jo Nesbo, Sarah Winman and Liane Moriarity. I am also intrigued by debut by Louise Nealon.

If you love books and I do, this is like getting a gift wrapped in a big bow. I may have a couple hundred books I already want to read, but when Buzz Books arrives I get so excited to see the new up and coming books!

I like the layout of Buzz Books and the best is the selection of new books that I can view and read a sample of. I think Buzz Books by far is the best way to find out about the latest books coming out in the next few months. It is so much easier then clicking on so many different websites to try and view new books. It also is comprehensive. I like that there is a long Non-Fiction and Biography/Memoir Section.

So, thank you so much for sending this to me. I already picked out at least a dozen books that look great for the Fall and Winter. This will make for Happy Reading!

Thank you NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for sending a copy of this guide. I really appreciate it.

Buzz Books are packed with lots of books coming out this fall and winter. I enjoy flipping through this catalog every week to get a peek on what is in store the second half of the year. I would not have these books on my radar if I did not have this catalog. It’s very useful!

Not my favorite of the Buzz Books releases. For me, there just weren’t a lot of picks that I connected with. I felt that way for the majority of the list though. Normally I have a long list of books I am eager to read thanks to this, but I found my list this time to be under 20 titles. I also felt there were less titles but maybe that was just how it seemed.

Regardless, I look forward to the Buzz Books release every season and I will, undoubtedly, be on the prowl for the next one. It’s a valuable and valued resource for libraries, reviewers, and readers alike.
