Another excellent cross section of books due this Autumn and as per usual, I found enough samples of interest to seek out the books.

I always enjoy skimming through this to see what books are coming soon and if my favorite authors have anything coming out soon

Difficult to give feedback on a catalogue but interesting read! Good to see what books are coming out in the autumn/winter.

I love when I can get my hands on a Buzz Books compilation. I realise the books are intended for a US market but I still enjoy reading the excerpts. I am never disappointed. I always find a couple of titles that interest me and I look out for availability. Sometimes I have to wait and sometimes a title has already been published in the UK.

A couple of titles interest me this time. Hold My Girl (Charlene Carr) and The Happy Couple (Naoise Dolan). I also like the sound of The Busy Body (Kemper Donovan).

It's always good to come across an unfamiliar author (established or new) whose writing captures your imagination.

I love these buzz books collections and there are so many great books featured here that I can't wait for! I'm particularly excited for more from Tia Williams as well as Anise Vance's debut.

One of my favorite samplers! I am so excited about several fall titles, especially those by C Pam Zhang and Bryan Washington. What a fantastic way to build anticipation for new novels.

I always look forward to the newest edition of Buzz Books. It's my go-to source for discovering debut authors, upcoming releases from my favorite writers, and both fiction and non-fiction books I'm excited to add to my ever-growing TBR list. Buzz Books is a must-have resource for any reader looking for the latest and greatest in literature.

so many great titles. as per usual i found the way that these upcoming releases are divided somewhat confusing, as some of the titles are listed in a rather arbitrary way. anyhow, great to have an overview of upcomig releases

Great compilation! I found several books I want to read and enjoyed the overview. How lucky we are to have Netgalley and get the lead on exciting new books!

These Publisher’s Lunch Buzz Book titles have become my go to book reference tool! As a “80% and staying there” reviewer, the lists help me hone in on thoughtful and well curated NetGalley requests. No more give it a go for me - I am super selective about the titles I request and when I venture out of my trusted genre lane these previews become even more important. I currently have a positive reviews only pledge on my Instagram page @bookshelfbybeckwith, making my selection process even more important.

I especially love the debut author selection and appreciate having comprehensive summaries of new books before I commit to reading. There is simply nothing better than finding a new voice in a highly competitive publishing field and Buzz Books information helps me find just the right titles.

Thank you for continuing to publish these fabulous reference tools!

I enjoyed reading this and sampling upcoming releases. Discovered a lot of new titles through this collection and I'm looking forward to the Fall/Winter 2023 season!

I always enjoy reading book samplers since I can try out the book excerpts before getting copies of the books. I am going to read some of these books, but not all of them. It was nice to get this book sampler for free.

Great sampler of a selection of books coming out in the next few months. I've requested galleys of quite a few. Others I didn't feel fit my blog's vibe but I'm personally interested in them and have added them to my TBR. It is quite long, though (almost 900 pages!), so if there was an option for future samplers to renew the time to read the download, I could spend more time reading and considering each sample rather than racing through.

I love these collections. What's not to like? Excerpted samples from major authors, many of them favorites of mine. I was lucky enough to read Naomi Alderman's latest, The Future, also courtesy also of @NetGalley, but am thrilled to have snippets of what is to come from Etaf Rum and Lauren Geoff, in particular, and be turned on to some new authors. Please keep these coming!

This Buzz Books presents readers with more than sixty of the buzziest books due out this season—there should be something for everyone, whether you want a bestselling author, a literary great, nonfiction or young adult. Buzz Books also highlights debut authors as well.

The Buzz Books volumes are essential resources for serious readers. The 2023 Fall/Winter volume is no exception. With the summaries and excerpts, it’s easy to find the perfect book. And with the range of authors, including debuts, writing fiction, nonfiction, and YA, there is something for everyone!
