This was my first Buzz Books sampler, and I loved reading excerpts from so many books. This helps me zero in on what I know will be a good read. As a massive fan of The Power, I'm excited to read Naomi Alderman's latest book, The Future.

I really enjoyed Buzz Books 2023: Fall/Winter. 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 The Spirit Glass (Roshani Chokshi) and The God of High School Vol. I (Yongje Park). I also liked A Drop of Venom (Sajni Patel). I was intrigued by My Father, the Panda Killer (Jamie Jo Hoang). 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.

As always, I love getting the opportunity to read excerpts of books that may not normally appeal to me. Anything to expand the boundaries of readers is an amazing thing, so I will forever be a proud promoter of any and all Buzz Books amongst my fellow NetGalley-ians.

This fall/Winter version of Buzz books provides samples of numerous compelling new books. As always I appreciated getting a chance to see excerpts of upcoming books to add to my want to read list. Fall looks like a great reading season coming up!
Thanks to NetGalley for this peak inside.

I was thrilled to be able to read this sneak peak of some fantastic books coming up soon on Netgalley.
I was especially excited to read the excerpt from Kemper Donovan’s upcoming mystery debut - The Busy Body. As a huge fan of Kemper ‘s podcast ‘All About Agatha’, I’ve been desperately waiting for the chance to read this.
Hopefully I’ll get to read the whole book and share my excitement.

I love the ability to quickly capture more information about upcoming releases than just the book description and this is a perfect way do that. Buzz Books is set up to see excepts from four categories: Fiction, Debut Author, Nonfiction, and Young Adult.

I'm so excited to so many debut authors in the LGBTQIA+ and Romance genres! Can't wait for the Fall and Winter to curl up with many good books.

So many great books on the horizon! Can't wait to dig deeper into them, especially the YA titles. I took a class on Native Americans with Ned Blackhawk, so I am especially intrigued by his title.

I would have liked more LGBTQ+ books in there but otherwise a good mix of different geners. I look forward to these upcoming releases.

A great collection of excerpts from a variety of authors, some I'm familiar with (Yangsze Choo's The Fox Wife particularly caught my eye going in!) and some who are new to me. An exciting look at up coming titles!

A pleasure to get the chance to sample some of these upcoming novels! The novels, debuts, non-fiction and YA offerings are to die for.

Woohoo! I love this guide. I printed off the pages and highlighted my TBR for the rest of the year. I love the sections dividing up genres and I love the excerpts! Several times while going over the list, pen in hand, I gasped upon discovering a favorite author with an upcoming release that I didn't know was coming! HOW EXCITING! This is my guide for the rest of 2023 ! Thanks so much for the copy and for putting together such a comprehensive, thorough, well-organized guide. LOVE IT!

This was incredibly generous -- thank you Net Galley. My Fall/Winter TBR is officially full! I have already preordered at least three of these titles and received an ARC of Kiley Reid's newest book.

A wonderful collection of excerpts, of upcoming releases, some by authors with whom I am familiar but many more with whom I was not. I appreciate that I can not only read a summary of what the book is about, I can read a small bit of the book and experience the writer’s style. How a book reads can often be as important as, and sometimes more important than, the basic plot of the story. The assortment of titles is impressive, with selections of fiction, non-fiction, first time authors and young adult. I found quite a few titles that intrigued me enough that I have requested an ARC and added them to my Goodreads “Want to read” shelf. None of them are by authors whom I have read before. I read primarily fiction, with an emphasis on mysteries and thrillers, and while some of the titles I requested are indeed in the mystery/thriller genre, others are general fiction. There is a memoir and a YA book that are also standing out as possibilities.
If you haven’t taken advantage of these resource, I highly recommend that you give it a try. I have in the past discovered some real gems that I would likely never have stumbled across perusing my local indie bookstore’s shelves and tables. Thanks to NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for allowing me access to the advanced reader’s copy of Buzz Books 2023 Fall/Winter.

This book was a good reference to help me decide what ARC book to request. There are can be so many options it can feel overwhelming. Getting a sample of the work also helps me get a feel for the writing as well as story, and if I would like them.
