Some really exciting new titles that I’m looking forward to reading in full. In particular the Vaster Wilds.

Good overall look at the upcoming releases for the fall and winter season. Really excited for the new Lauren Groff and the new Naomi Alderman.

Always a favorite of mine. Lovely opportunity! I always enjoy seeing what I can look forward to this coming fall and winter.

Thank you Netgalley for this preview.

What a fun way to get a little taste test of upcoming books! Like a Costco sample tray. I never like to read synopsis’ because I find sometimes too much of the plot gets spoiled - so this is just the best alternative ever in order to get a feel for if I will like the book!

I was already excited for a couple of these releases, and ended up adding even more of the fiction ones to my wishlist.

Thanks Buzz Books! I will be on the lookout for the Romance version.

I love when this comes out, so many new reads!
Thanks to author, publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.

This was a great option to help me get excited for some of the upcoming books and even start a “wish list.” Thank you!

I always love copies of the upcoming Buzz.Books. It is valuable for book club leaders and book influencers. The only challenge this year is that some of the summaries were hard to read because the print was offset by the book covers.

Thank you Net Galley for this great resource!

It's always a joy to receive the latest Buzz Books offering, but boy is this a lot of sample reading to get through, covering as it does various genres, including fiction, YA and non-fiction! As a result, part of my response was a groan, with such a huge collection with so much that appeals and must read authors, this is going to place heavy pressure on which I prioritise in making my netgalley selections. I already have some to read such as the latest Zadie Smith, and look forward, pending approvals, to reading a number of others. A stellar collection of book samples and authors for readers in the Fall and Winter of this year. Many thanks.

Oh, be still my racing heart! I love it when the new Buzz Books comes out. It's like Christmas for book lovers no matter what month it is. The Fall/Winter edition has 1250 (!) pages and is available through NetGalley or Amazon for free.

There is exciting new fiction from Kate Atkinson, Mona Awad, Paul Auster, Teju Cole, Michael Cunningham, Lauren Groff, Claire Keegan, Louise Kennedy, Stephen King, Jhumpa Lahiri, Alice McDermott, Sigrid Nunez, Tim O'Brien, Zadie Smith, and Jesmyn Ward to name a few. Lots of mystery/thrillers, nonfiction. fantasy, sci-fi and YA from authors you know and love, plus more than three dozen debut selections. My favorite part is getting to read so many extended excerpts which keeps me from buying books I won't enjoy or missing out on ones I would have skipped over.

I was going to list some of my favorites but there are more than twenty so just get it and decide for yourself. Happy reading!

I’m looking forward to so many of these books, especially the new Kiley Reid and Ashley Winstead titles. Thank you for the excerpts.
The format of this was a little difficult to navigate, though.

Between Buzz Books seasonal previews and NetGalley's new list feature, I am finding it easier this year to compile lists for review-planning. Also for leisure-read planning. I always look forward to pouring through Buzz Books sampler series, and this edition has not disappointed. I'm particularly excited for novels by Donna Hemans, Claire Oshetsky, and C Pam Zhang; the debut novel by Jazmina Barrera; memoirs by Patty Lin and Briittany Means; and YA by Soyoung Park.

Very excited to finish reading Naoise Dolan's book The Happy Couple and Mona Awad's Rouge. I currently have an ARC of Rouge and cannot wait to dig into it!

Thanks!! Buzz Books 2023: Fall/Winter offers excerpts from an impressive collection of new books where you can get a good sense of your interest level. This is a lengthy grouping of books, which is great. The books are grouped by genre: Fiction, Debut, Nonfiction, and Young Adult. Looks like some real winners here.

Jackpot! There are too many excerpts in this sampler to count! There are many new releases from four different categories represented: Fiction, Debut, Nonfiction and Young Adult. I'm excited to get the full release of several of these.
