Great selection as always, though as usual I wish some excerpts were from the beginning of the book. Feels a bit confusing otherwise.

Another amazing sampler. I absolutely love seeing these and what they have for future releases. This gives you just the right amount of content to decide if you really want to support the author and content provided!

Wonderful little cheat sheet of upcoming titles and buzz worthy reads, but wish there were more than three YA titles.

I always look forward to the release of the Buzz Books collections, they're such a great way to get a taste of all the amazing books that are coming up. I love being able to get more of an idea of what a book is like before requesting a galley. I've recently been really getting into nonfiction so I was particularly interested in the nonfiction section this time, which I honestly haven't paid that much attention to before.

Almost everything here was new to me, and I've added so many to my TBR. There are so many great books coming out!

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for putting this together!

I anxiously await each Buzz Books edition! I always find lots of great reads, many by authors I wasn't familiar with. And I also appreciate the opportunity to find out when all the new books are coming out. These are wonderful!

Thank you, Netgalley for giving me access to the latest edition of Buzz Books! I love getting to see and read excerpts from some of the buzziest upcoming titles! A lot of the books in this edition looked intriguing and I can't wait until they're published!

What a fun preview of upcoming spring/summer books! Each year I create a comprehensive summer reading guide and the Buzz Books 2023 was incredibly helpful to see which books I might like to request on NetGalley to include in my summer reading guide. I appreciated the samples of the books to get an idea for an author's writing style, especially for debut authors I was not familiar with. What a great resource for early readers!

So many incredible books coming out soon! This got me to request a bunch of new books I had never heard of: Prophet, House of Cotton, Medusas' Sisters. Plus the Mastering the Art of French Murder which has been on my radar. Here's to another great couple of seasons of reading!

Buzz Books does it again! Once again, I was treated to both a list of and samples from new books being published this spring and summer. And, once again, my TBR list has become overloaded! Twice a year I look forward to Buzz Books' latest, and this newest one surely did not disappoint. I am looking forward to reading many great books mentioned here, and I especially enjoyed the samples from Mastering the Art of French Murder, The Dog of the North, and Homecoming (another Kate Morton!). Thanks to the publisher and to NetGalley for providing me with this.

It was great to see the selection of upcoming Spring and Summer books! I always enjoy discovering the kinds of stories authors are coming out with.
I'm particularly excited about the book, Sisters of the Lost Nation by Nick Medina. The premise sounds amazing: "A young Native girl's hunt for answers about the women mysteriously disappearing from her tribe's reservation lead her to delve into the myths and stories of her people, all while being haunted herself, in this atmospheric and stunningly poignant debut."
Another one that sounds interesting is, The Woman in the Castello by Kelsey James, a midcentury gothic set in 1960s Italy. It's about an American actress and single mother who "snags a starring role in a mysterious horror movie shooting on location in a crumbling medieval castle outside Rome."
Can't wait to get my hands on these two! There were also many excerpts with gorgeous writing. I especially loved the writing in The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese.
Thanks to NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for an advance reader copy!

I honestly thought there would be more books in here that piqued my interest. But hey, maybe one will surprise me!

I always look forward to new installments from Buzz Books and this did not disappoint! These are always helpful in discovering upcoming books and I enjoy the excerpts from books that were already on my radar as well as ones I hadn't yet heard of.

Another sampler selection of books that are coming up.
Theres some pretty book covers but nothing really caught my attention that I really wanted to add to my want to Reed list.

As always great way of helping to prevent bloggers/reviewers such as myself from requesting books we may not enjoy reading. A sample gives a chance to see if you like the writing style and feel of the book before requesting the full galley

As always, there are a ton of interesting samples included in this edition of Buzz Books (Spring/Summer 2023), especially the fiction, which accounts for most of the books that I read.
