So many great titles in here! Looking forward to reading them in full, especially the ones based off Greek Mythology!

Once again a great resource to use for acquisition purposes. Thanks to,Netgalley for putting this together.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing this amazing book resource!! Filling up my TBR with some of the most anticipated reads of the 2023 spring/summer season.

I never know what to choose on the previous questions. I always look for this Buzz Book preview every season. I love knowing about upcoming titles, especially titles I would not normally read. Besides expanding my horizons, I think it also makes me better at my job. Please always put these out!

I read this ARC for an honest review
All thoughts and opinions are mine

I love these
Being able to see whats going to be published is a real luxury and helps me plan my future reading

I really enjoy getting an overview of upcoming releases in one place. I tend to note down new releases from authors I like and look through the summaries of the featured books to see if they might be for me. I don't read the long excerpts as it feels like a waste of time if I'm not going to read the book, but I can see how they may be useful for other readers.
Thanks, NetGalley and Publisher's Lunch for making this available!

This release provides a great way to preview upcoming releases. It gave insight into the books I would be interested in, as well as a way to determine the upcoming releases of my favorite authors.

Thank you, NetGalley for this collection of excerpts. They really helped me with choosing new books to read.

Thank you for doing this, NetGalley! I love the ability to read excerpts - one of my favorite (and most reliable) ways of getting excited about a book.

What a great treat!

50ish buzz books where you can read a preview and get a great idea of books coming up.

For all of you who are planning staycations this summer, please know that Buzz Books is here to help you find books that will transport you to other worlds. Buzz Books highlights a great line-up of books set around the world. There are also a number of non-fiction books that look like they will make you laugh, cry and think. Thank you NetGalley.

This was my first time going over Buzz Books and I was so excited while reading through all the wonderful books featured for this year. Reviewing the Buzz Books helped me narrow down titles that would interest our patrons and the excerpts were great and allowed me to narrow down different books to read and recommend.

Some interesting books to look forward to. This is a useful service provided by NetGalley so readers can preview some forthcoming publications.

Thank you so much to Net Galley, the publisher, and author for providing this amazing resource for my review. I love getting to read about new and upcoming books for 2023. There are so many debuts, fiction, nonfiction, and young adult books coming that I can’t wait to get my hands on. This resource allowed me to read excerpts and plan my TBR for the spring and summer of 2023. I have added so many of these titles to my TBR. Thank you again so much for this wonderful resource.

An excellent selection of upcoming books. I’ve found quite a few I want to read. I’m looking forward to the next one.

I always love when the Buzz Books is published for different seasons. I enjoy seeing what new fiction books are coming out and getting a preview of the books. I also enjoy how they include debut authors on the list so I can be on the lookout for new writers. This Spring/Summer preview has a few that I was really excited to check out so I enjoyed reading this.

This included a great compilation of debut authors!! While I enjoy the star-studded authors, it is always refreshing to read the first published book by authors as they often incorporate new concepts and fun ideas. I have requested at least a dozen books from this list, and would do more if I wasn’t so worried about all of them getting approved at once haha. Loved the diverse representation of authors as well, and I definitely requested lots of BIPOC authors on NetGalley!

Browsing publishers catalogues and getting excited for all the new releases of the season is one of my favourite things to do. Spring/Summer 2023 promises to be a good year for fiction all together, with some especially exciting (debut) releases on the horizon.
Here’s my personal top 8 from this catalogue:

- Family Lore by Elizabeth Acevedo
The adult-debut by beloved YA-author Acevedo is a generational story a Dominican American family, told through the eyes of three generations of its women. When the family matriarch, known for her almost supernatural ability in predicting a family-members death, gathers the family to celebrate her own “living wake”, secrets emerge and bonds are tested.
- Sisters of the Lost Nation by Nick Medina
A debut supernatural mystery in which 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.
- The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese
Described as an epic of love, faith, and medicine, set in Kerala and following three generations of a family haunted by a peculiar affliction: in every generation, at least one person dies by drowning. Multigenerational, medicine + faith, themes of water: sign me up please.
- Burst by Mary Otis
literary fiction with dynamic lyrical writing and motifs of dance, exploring a complex mother-daughter relationship. I was already intrigued by the blurb and stunning cover, but the sample drew me in with the stunning writing. This is on my close-watch list!
- The Golden Spoon by Jessa Maxwell
Not my usual genre, but a closed-room murder-mystery set against the background of a baking competition sounds like such a wildly fun ride that I can’t wait to check this out.
- We are a Haunting by Tyriek White
Southern gothic meets magical realism in a debut about systemic racism, poverty, violence, grief, loss and more, following three generations of a black family in New York.
- The Great Reclamation by Rachel Heng
A historical epic with hints of magical realism following a boy with extraordinary gifts against the backdrop of World War II Singapore.
- Lucha of the Night Forest by Tehlor Kay Mejia
although I barely read any YA anymore, I have to keep an eye out for this one thanks to the stunning cover, the authors fantastic track-record and a story about queer love, sisterhood and Latinx mythology.

I absolutely love this opportunity to take a look at which titles will be published during this spring and summer. I am so excited for even more titles now. Thank you NetGalley, for giving this opportunity of a little sneak peak!

Good mix of new and established fiction authors together with wide ranging non-fiction. Always a help in choosing what to read in future.
