Even though these previews are from 2024, I enjoyed reading the samples of some of the books that I was on the fence about.

I can always appreciate being able to preview a bunch of books at once! I’ve just borrowed one from my library as a result.

It was very interesting to see the genre breakdowns in this guide. I look forward to a 2025 edition.

These Buzz Books excerpt compilations for upcoming releases are such a boon. So glad I can use this to look back on a few of the romance releases I might have missed last year. And this is an amazing tool that allows you to have a little window into new authors and genres with shortened excerpts from upcoming titles!

So happy these are on NetGalley and a way to easily have a little overview of some of 2024s great romantic works. Thank you so much, Publishers Lunch, for putting together this NetGalley specific edition!

I'm so excited to have this! It's a great way to get a taste of some of the romance books I may have missed out on last year before I really got back into reading. I'll be sure to check out the ones that grab my attention!

They make it so easy to request right through NetGalley after reading the excerpt. Thanks Publishers Lunch for putting together a NetGalley specific edition!

I know this is from 2024 but I just discovered the 2025 buzzbooks and was so excited to see a 2024 list as well. These lists are so organized and easy to maneuver and have given me so many new books to request and/or look into if they are already published at this time! Will definitely be keeping an eye out for upcoming buzz books opportunities!

Thank you to Publishers Lunch, NetGalley, and the authors/publishers included inside for the opportunity to read excerpts from some romance picks of 2024. Even though it's 2025 and I'm late to some of these, I'm excited to get into a few after reading the excerpt. I have read a couple since this came out - like First-Time Caller - and loved it. I've added a few to my list! Thanks so much. Excited to see what these authors have to share.

Romance offers a fun tasting menu for romance fans, featuring 21 sneak peeks from a wide range of romance sub-genres.

The format is user friendly, letting you jump straight to your favorite styles or dip into something unexpected. Each excerpt gives you just enough story to get a sense of the tone and characters without diving in too deep. It’s a smart, low-commitment way to see what might earn a spot on your TBR list. I ended up finding a few surprising ones!

Particularly remarkable in this compilation is B.K. Borison and her terrific writing in the romance genre, that both respects and uplifts the form for new and seasoned readers.

Buzz Books 2024: Romance is basically a sampler platter for romance readers. It features 21 excerpts across all kinds of subgenres, from contemporary to paranormal to sports and beyond!

The layout makes it easy to skip to what you like (or explore something new), and the excerpts are just long enough to get a feel for the vibe without overcommitting. It’s a great way to test the waters before adding anything to your TBR. I had a lot of fun discovering a few books I wasn’t expecting to like.

If you’re curious and want to try out new books before committing, it’s definitely worth flipping through!

I love this preview collection! I was a little late for some of the releases, I'll definitely be on the lookout for the next one.

The perfect mixture of sub-genres, stories, and themes. Each story was intriguing and creative in its own way. I got to sample stories that I normally wouldn’t have read on my own. The carefully curated balance of sub-genres introduced me to authors I’d never encountered as well as some I’ve enjoyed reading in the past. This is a great tool for whetting your appetite for content that challenges your creativity and expands your literary palette.

Thank you to Net Galley and Publishers Lunch for this e-copy!

I find this guide extremely reader-friendly, with the contents broken down into the various categories of Romances you can find inside, as well as links to download or request the book. The excerpts included in each section are detailed and give a good indication of if this book is one to put on your to-be-read list. I also love the info and photo of each author provided. Buzz Books 2024: Romance is so helpful (even in 2025!) in finding new romances to check out, I recommend giving it a read if you're unsure of what to pick up next and enjoy the Romance genre.

Good buzz books promo. Interested in seeing the roll out for the titles mentioned. Need more packages like this on NG.

Romance fans will adore this edition of Buzz Books, with excerpts from 21 romance novels they'll want to add to their TBRS. Enjoy!

Thank you to NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for this collection of excerpts for various titles. It is always helpful to read excerpts to find new authors and titles I might not have heard of before.

So many great excerpts! I've opted to request several of the full galleys from this list. I enjoyed that everything was broken into subgenres.

I love the concept of this and enjoyed the snippets I read. Unfortunately, I was very late to party (Aug 24 pub date to March 25) and missed the window for several of the full books I was interested in. This made me then skip reading sections unless they were not archived.
