These kinds of samplers are so helpful and useful, and I always like getting them. Thanks so much to Publishers Lunch for doing these.

It was great reading excerpts from new books that are about to be released. Since they are now released, I was able to request the ones that I want to read and some that I think certain patrons will want to read as well.

This was the first time I had requested the romance version of Buzz Books. Romance is not always the genre for me, but this helped me find some really good romance new releases to check out

Buzz Books is always a great preview of upcoming titles. I'm glad that they have one just for romance.

Samplers like these are super helpful when checking out upcoming releases, especially in a genre I wouldn't gravitate towards normally, I have found quite a few more titles to add to my TBR and look forward to seeing more from the authors.

I know these books are all out already, but I still love the chance to read excerpts and add a bunch to my TBR!

Such a great selection of romance books. I enjoyed reading these stories and will read most of them to finish. I also look forward to reading more by these authors.

I'm now obsessed with these Buzz Book collections!!

I think they're perfect to get a little taste of books and to see if you want the WHOLE platter, or if they aren't your cup of tea before you request them or purchase them. The FIRST thing I do with any book I hear about that has a lot of hype is to 'look inside' or read an excerpt, because realistically- not every book will be for everyone. There are writing styles that aren't suited to me as a reader but that other readers seek out. Being able to check out some of the newest books (catered towards a specific genre too!) is truly helpful!!

Thank you for providing these, I will be itching for the newest releases of this because....of course I need more books to add to my TBR (#lies!).

I always loving reading the Book Buzz to get MANY books to add to my must-read list! I appreciate the excerpts from selected books to give me a feel for the writing.

Because my year has been so crazy, I got to the 2021 galley a week or so before it archived and was replaced by the 2022 version. When it comes to books, I have an almost uncontrollable fear of missing out. Therefore, I have to at least skim the 2021 galley to ensure that I haven’t missed anything noteworthy.

A quick glance at the alphabetically arranged table of contents informed me that I had already finished one of the ten highlighted books. A Letter to Three Witches by Elizabeth Bass was an audiobook that I started and finished on a trip in February 2022. A third of the remaining titles were released to a lot of buzz, while the remainder seemed to fly under the radar. New to this year were two romance books by male LGBTQIA authors.

I read eight entries, skipping the one I had already read as well as the romantic suspense entry. Of those eight, Lockdown on London Lane is the only one that appealed to me. Although Buzz Books only gives you the first chapter, I thought I might appreciate the concept of multiple different stories about different apartments being locked down for a week.

I love these previews!! Looking forward to reading some great romance books later this year, and then recommending them to friends.

Even though this Book Buzz has a 2021 date, I only just saw it on NetGalley. This is another in a series that includes generous excerpts. This one is just for romance titles so perfect for those who enjoy the genre. Each entry includes a description of the title, information on the author and more. Everyone is here from the most popular authors to those who are making their debuts. And, of course, this title is free. So, how could romance fans go wrong? Download it now from your e retailer.

Many thanks to NetGalley for this title. All opinions are my own.

This is a huge list of novels coming out in the next few months. There are quite a few authors I've never heard of that I want to check out. I've added a lot of books to my TBR. Great list!

So enjoy reading excepts from these romance novels. Gives a great overview of a cross-section of stories from different point of view. Particularly enjoyed reading a story from a Jewish author and being transparent about her own struggle with illness.

Romance is my favorite genre so I was excited to see this Buzz Books 2021: Romance book preview! I didn't realize when I requested it that it was for 2021 and I've actually already read several of these books - The Love Hypothesis was probably my favorite book of 2021! It was fun to see other romances that weren't on my radar that I can now check out. My only complaint is that I wish they had included more books on here. 2021 had so many great romances!

Most, if not all, of these books have already been published but it was wonderful to be able to preview the first chapters and see which ones caught my eye. This is such a brilliant collection of romances and I particularly loved all the diverse books they included, and all the witchy ones too! A definite must read and one I'm hoping they'll continue in the future!

I just love these Buzz Books samplers. This romance edition has several titles worth looking into. The Love Hypothesis has me intrigued.

As a lover of romance books, this is like a bible! I was away from bookstagram—where I keep track of book releases and trends and discover new stories to read—for most of last year, so having this resource to look back on the releases I missed in 2021 is amazing!
