As always the Buzz Books collection is full of books I cannot wait to read. Great selection of upcoming books. I can't wait for the next one.

Helped me put together an end of 2023 TBR. Some of these were not on my radar which was helpful for me to find books that aren't plastered all over Instagram or Tiktok.

Always full of intriguing reads. Adds to my tumbling to be read books! A great compilation of wonderful authors and wonderful titles!

Such a helpful & thorough resource! Sometimes keeping up with new releases in publishing reminds me of trying to stay in the loop when I was young & childless & still trying to remain on the social circuit in the punk scene. You miss one weekend & you don't know where the next weekend's shows or parties are & pretty soon you're wearing a sweater from the Gap, eating quiche, & wondering what the fuck happened. Consider this something of a particularly well-resourced bulletin board at everyone's favorite record store, but for publishing.
Apart from the excerpts (which includes fiction, non-fiction, & young adult), there's also a list of notable titles being published in the upcoming season, & I especially appreciate that debut authors are given their own category (because I love to support incredible debut authors!). I also love that a huge variety of publishers are included, from big guys like Simon & Schuster or MCD to indies to academic presses. I can't wait until the spring/summer 2024 release!

I love Buzz Books! Thank you, NetGalley for giving me a preview of some of the most anticipated releases of this coming fall and winter! I added a lot of books to my to read list.

I love these buzz books snapshots of upcoming titles and excerpts from some of the titles. It’s an excellent way to lure me like the easy book prey I am.

Thank you for the reviews of upcoming book releases for the Fall and Winter 2023! Looking forward to lots of great reads!

I found some interesting titles from the excerpts that I read. There are many more titles that I will be exploring.

Really great to get to read so many samples of buzzy upcoming books. I'm grateful to the publisher for sharing them.

This sampler is incredible and I can't wait to read so many of these books. Please continue this. Thank you!

I really enjoy reading these that have little excerpts of novels that are releasing soon so I could add them onto my TBR pile.

A great wrap up of a great many books releasing in 2023. Lengthy samples from each book. I wasn't able to get to all 1250 Kindle pages, but perused the offerings in between reading the actual books! Thanks NetGalley for a preview of Buzz Books 2023!

I really enjoy these previews of upcoming book releases even though I already have way too many books on my shelves. Oddly, and probably a good thing in my case, there aren't too many in the 2023 Fall/ Winter edition by authors I recognized but I did shelve a few by authors new to me and a couple of debuts as well. I read some excerpts and that helped me decide whether or not to add them. I can't believe the 2024 Spring/Summer version will probably be available before we know it! Thanks to Publishers Lunch and Netgalley for continuing to produce this helpful publication.

Good selection, good excerpts, definitively a helper when I need to decide what to request in terms of ARCs.

I always look forward to when Buzz Books comes out to see what books are coming soon! So many great titles are coming this fall and I can't wait to read many of them. Thanks NetGalley for the opportunity to get a little sneak peak.

I love going through Buzz Books so that I can add more books to my never ending TBR!
Thank you Publishers Lunch.

Even though I have hundreds of books on my Goodreads 'want to read' shelf as well as on my physical shelves at home, I'm always on the lookout for a new title and BuzzBooks never disappoints!
As always, the titles included in this volume (Fall/Winter 2023) were all good but a few stood out for me and I will be adding them to my TBR shelf.

I always enjoy when the new Buzz Books comes out to see what books are coming soon! So many great titles are coming this fall and I can't wait to read many of them. Thanks NetGalley for the opportunity to get a little sneak peak.

Some books in here by perennial faves like Lauren Groff and Sigrid Nunez, plus some exciting discoveries. I hadn't read anything by Nnedi Okorafor, but was quite swept up by the voice of her excerpt. Also was quite taken with the passage from Alice Carrière's memoir--the porousness of the house she describes having grown up in seems to waft into the prose itself, which is pervaded by a dreamlike gauziness punctuated by sharp bursts of observation and insight, as though we are somnambulating into them, absorbing their lucidity, then returning to the trance. Pretty thrilled about C Pam Zhang's novel excerpt--as with most great food writing, there's a sumptuousness here, but there's also a sense of scarcity and want, and language wielded like cutlery and cutting board.
Thanks to NetGalley for providing an ARC of this book.
