I absolutely love these Buzz Books biannual reviews. The upcoming release summaries are broken down into Fiction, Debut, Nonfiction, and Young Adult. There is also a Publishing Preview that gives the publication dates for Fiction, Notables, Highly Anticipated, Emerging Voices, Debut, Commercial Fiction, Nonfiction, Essays, Criticism & More, Biography & Memoir, Politics & Current Events, Social Issues, History & Crime, Business, and Science & Technology. In other words, if you are curious about what is coming up, this summary is the place to find it!

Thanks to Publishers Lunch and NetGalley for my free copy in exchange for this review.

I really enjoyed Buzz Books 2023: Spring/Summer. It is always a great opportunity to add to my TBR and find new authors who I may not have otherwise. The young adult section is my favorite! I really enjoyed the sampler of Queen Bee (Amalie Howard) and Throwback (Maureen Goo). I also liked Lucha of the Night Forest (Tehlor Kay Mejia). I need to add all of them to my TBR! Thank you so much to Publishers Lunch Buzz Books and Netgalley for the opportunity to read the sampler in exchange for honest feedback.

Buzz Books always reveals the upcoming books to look out for.

Mastering the Art of French Murder by Colleen Cambridge, featuring a pre-famous Julia Child and a pal in 1949 Paris looks a treat. Hilary Leichter’s Terrace Story spins a fable that’s appears to be a cross between The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and The Time of Green Magic. Who could resist?

As to debuts, Alex Hay’s The Housekeepers features a brazen heist as an act of revenge in 1905 London. It definitely reminds me of Simon Brett’s Mrs. Pargeter series. Publisher Atria Books characterizes Jessa Maxwell’s debut, The Golden Spoon, as equal parts Only Murders in the Building and Nita Prose’s The Maid; however, it’s the premise that intrigued me: a locked-door murder mystery that takes place on a nationally televised TV cooking contest show (à la Top Chef or Chopped). This could really be a humorous read.

Thank you, Buzz Books, for letting me know what I need to request at NetGalley!

Always so privileged to get a preview of upcoming titles by authors familiar and unfamiliar to me. With limited reading time, being able to plan my reading, based on these previews, for the coming months is a real treat.

This was an interesting preview of the various books coming out! However I always want the whole thing after reading.

we are being FED in 2023!!!

so grateful for these little catalogues and the insight into a bunch of books both that I’m excited for and had never previously heard of! can’t wait to order the final copies of some of these titles!

I always look forward to the Buzz Books editions. I just finished this one and now have a list of books from favorite authors as well as some intriguing new titles for my TBR list. Looks like I am “booked” through the summer.

Finding the perfect book takes time, so how do booksellers manage it? They listen to editor panels to find out which books the editors are most excited about, for one thing. The great news is that this information is available to readers through the Buzz Books series. Buzz Books 2023: Spring/Summer is a sampler of fifty-five of the buzziest books slated for publication in the fiction, debut, nonfiction, and YA categories. It includes the book summary, sample chapters, book details, and author information. If for no other reason, this sampler is an enjoyable read with so many wonderful upcoming books to peruse. But it also serves a practical purpose: with this one-stop shop for help in picking books that match their interests, readers can prevent wasting their time and the financial investment on a mismatch.

Thanks to Publishers Lunch and NetGalley for this eARC.

I love these!!! I will read these every chance they are available! I love these so much! And my TBR pile grows so much because of them!

THANK YOU! My favorite seasonal catalog on here! As someone who is trying to share diverse titles with my community, this gives me the opportunity to preview the new and hidden titles coming in the future! I LOVE THIS so much :)

Thank you Publishers Launch and NetGalley, for the sampler of books coming out this year! I always look forward to these seasonal releases, as I'm able to get a feel for the books than I might be able to otherwise.It has raised my awareness, and put a few on my to-be-read list.

I love Buzz Books. I recommend everyone to obtain these books when they come out. They provide great information on upcoming book release dates along with a description of each. This book has helped me decide which books to keep an eye out for in the upcoming spring and summer dates.

Always a pleasure to get a peek at the upcoming releases for Spring/Summer.

This one was just full of good fiction and debuts. There are so many great reads coming and I have done a blog post on them as well.

Thanks for the early peek.

I love these buzzbooks with sample reads. It really helps me figure out which books I actually want to read, and which hyped books aren't for me. And of course, it introduces me to other books I haven't heard of yet.

I always look forward to the Buzz Books release. The opportunity to read extracts and chapter(s) from forthcoming books is much appreciated. It is great to add some books to my list which otherwise might have gone unnoticed. Thank you!

Buzz Books 2023 Spring/Summer is fantastic! I always look so forward to Buzz Books coming out and love reading about the books they have included - I always find books to be excited about that I would not have normally read. I can’t wait to read Family Lore and a debut by Kelsey James called The Woman in the Castello!
Thank you NetGalley!
