I look forward to these publications twice a year to bring me current on the latest up and coming books arriving in the near future. Convenient links to request advanced readers copies of the books is a very nice option. I always end up with a minimum of ten new books added to my TBR list with each publication. This is a much valued publication keep it coming!!

Always a great preview of things to come and an excellent starting point for your TBR list for the year! For me, the most anticipated highlight was Jean Hanff Korelitz's follow-up to The Plot, The Sequel, and it did not disappoint! I also discovered some great literary offerings from other unexpected and unknown (to me) authors that I will now request in NetGalley. I look forward to this edition every year!

A great resource for publishing and entertainment professionals. Very excited to read these books! Special shoutout to Alli Dyer and STRANGE FOLK.

While I love that it introduces me multiple books and new authors I may not have come across otherwise, this book is lacking categories with each excerpt, and only lumps together books together by main categories (see TOC list below) that provide no insight into the genre, theme or trope.
TOC groups books by fiction, debut, non-fiction and young adult. After the TOC, is a list (without links) groups books by:
- Fiction: Notables, Highly Anticipated, Emerging
- Debut
- Commercial
- Non-fiction: Essays, Criticism and more; Biography & Memoir; Politics and Current Events; Social Issues; History & Crime; Business, Science & Technology.

Great collection of incoming books to look out for. Very well curated with so many interesting reads, especially of debut authors.

This is such a god-sent gift to readers! By providing excerpts, it helps the reader know if a particular book/ author's writing style is to their liking. The option to immediately request/wish for the book from NetGalley is the cherry on the top. Will be looking forward to Buzz Book every year.

SO Helpful! I've already read one book from this guide and it was 5 stars! And, it was a debut I'd never heard of before. I'll be using this to prepare my quarterly book preview podcast episodes.

I am extremely excited about BUZZ BOOKS, and the title could not be more fitting! For anyone who loves to stay abreast of what new books will be publishing, this is for you. If you are a picky reader who has a strong preference for a certain genre or two, the handy categorized lists - by genre- will make BUZZ BOOKS a definite hit. This is the opportunity to have - all in one place- succinct but meaningful summaries, enough sample pages to read in order to know if you want to pre-order this book for yourself or a gift, along with forthcoming publication dates and authors' names/ previous books (if not a debut.) I quickly found 2 novels that I know are not-to-be-missed books for me as well as potential book club recommendations! Then, making this publication buzz worthy in and of itself is more than just the chance to read a few pages when a book catches one's eye but also to immediately request the book from NetGalley.. I have made a note to look for the next edition Of BUZZ BOOKS in January 2025.

Really enjoyed this roundup of upcoming titles as well! This is extremely helpful and a great way to get an idea of what to keep an eye out for in the future. I look forward to issues of this in the future.

Thanks to NetGalley for this selection of upcoming books. I look forward to reading quite a few of them.

This was a diverse collection of excerpts from multiple genres, publishers, and authors. There were definitely some that I'm looking forward to reading. It's easy to request a book if you're interested, there's a link at the end of every excerpt along with information about the publisher and other pertinent information.

Thank you Net Galley for this stellar collection of upcoming releases! Can't wait to read some of these amazing novels.

Buzz Books 2024 is a fantastic way to "try out" a book and see if it is something that will keep your interest. It offers a wide variety of genres, allowing you to explore different them and discover something new. I especially loved being exposed to genres that I don’t normally read. However, I wish there had been more non-fiction books on the list than there were. I loved that you can skip around or come back to the ones you skipped. The selections provide just enough to give you a taste of the author’s writing style
Thank you to the publisher Publishers Lunch for providing an advance reader copy via NetGalley

I always look forward to the Buzz Books guides. They never fail to highlight the books that end up being my most anticipated reads. Books that span genres of taste, there is truly something for any mood / reader. The Coles notes of books to read !

First of all, thank you NetGalley for adding to my already teetering stack of TBRs. I really loved the way this was organized, especially the debut section where I might have otherwise missed these new authors. I also was able to scan through the coming soon titles to find my favorite authors like Anne Tyler, Fiona Davis, Janet Evanovich, Richard Osmand, Louise Penny, and more.
I loved seeing Susan Rieger's new book listed as I just finished it thanks to NetGalley, and I loved it.
This will take quite some time to go through more thoroughly, but it is a great resource for keeping track of the things I want to read in the future. I imagine it is a great tool for booksellers as well!

Another great preview of upcoming publications from Buzz Books! I love these previews . . . which make my TBR list longer and longer!

This catalogue contains covers, blurbs and extracts from nearly fifty books coming out in Fall/Winter 2024. I liked that for each book we get an excerpt of the first chapter which is a good way to get a feel for the writing style and characters if you found the blurb intriguing. This document is very easy to navigate as the contents page contains hyperlinks to each book and each book has a link to the NetGalley page for that book so you can request/download the book. I thought it was great that the sampler was split into four distinct parts: Fiction, Debut, Non-Fiction and Young Adult which added to the accessibility of this document and made it very easy to find books you are interested in.
Overall this was great way to discover some new releases this Fall/Winter and I will definitely be adding some of these books to my TBR pile!

Great guide! Mostly interested in Fiction and it is nice to have publicity managers on hand
Anticipated reads:
The Stolen Queen by Fiona Davis
Sylvia Doe and the 100-Year Flood by Robert Beatty
Divine Mortals by Amanda M Helander
The Dividing Sky by Jill Tew

these are always very useful in assisting me with collection development at the public library that I work at. I love using these! Will definitely being using more in the future!

Yet another great collection of upcoming books. I am very excited for some of them, and I even added a few on my wishlist. I've been excited to get the Buzz Books collection for years now and it never disappoints. Cannot wait for the next one.
