Another great collection of samples from up coming releases.
A fantastic way to sample a lot of books quickly
Great way of trying a smaller amount of the book to see if its writing style and content fit you as a reader before requesting the full arc

This book is a huge collection of new releases to sample before requesting them on Net Galley. I like that this sampler includes many titles from authors unknown to me. Thank you, Publishers Lunch and Net Galley for helping me find books for my fall and winter TBR list.

I adore Buzz Books. The Fall/Winter 2023 is no exception. My To Be Read List always grows much bigger when I am reading this guide. I love that there are sample reading and at the end you can directly link to NetGallery. I think I selected 5 books to put in for. I will go back and put in for more I am certain. My favorite section is debut authors as I love to find new books I have not heard of or read the writing style before. Excellent! Definitely, get this for yourself. You need more books to read, right? 💗💗💗

I don't really know how to review a book like this that was just chapters of other books? I'm choosing a star rating pretty randomly.

The Fall/Winter version of Buzz Books is once again a sensation It is nice to check out and read the first chapter or two of new books coming out in the fall or winter. There are new writers to check out and our favorite writers as well. I'm not sure where to start to make my list of books to read - have to take another look to make sure I'm not missing a good one You should check this out too You won't be disappointed.

I love getting these. Book Buzz is a collection of titles to look for and excerpts. There were a lot of authors I hadn't heard of before! As much as I love summer reading... bring on the Fall.

Always informative fall catalog of new books. In the know full of concise descriptions by publishers lunch.
I always get too many ideas to add to my TBR pile.

There were so many good options in this preview of upcoming books. Organized by genre, with a section specifically for debut authors, which was great. I requested quite a few from NetGalley, so my tbr just keeps getting bigger. Every book includes a short description along with an excerpt, which definitely helps to decide whether you want to read it or not.

Wonderful way to preview an ARC. These short intro to new books paved the way for me to choose novels by author or sublect, and definitely by writing, that I am more likely to read and review.

Long time reader, first time reviewer. What I really enjoyed about Buzz Book 2023 was the opportunity to experience so many books prior to publishing. For my purpose as a member of a Literary Society, to be able to study the author to ascertain if they are the right fit for our audience was so helpful. What a perfect tool to guide me on how I should spend my hours reading. I highly recommend Buzz Books and can’t wait to enjoy some of the titles I found within this book.

I always look forward to these Buzz Books issues, they help me find books coming out I want to share with my audience, and allow me a chance to sample some so I can get a sense of which ones I want to request and read ahead of time. This was no exception and was full of so many exciting fall and winter book releases.
