Romance sampler
Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to checkout this romance sampler. Like a box of chocolates we get a taste of new release and upcoming romances.
I like the fact that this includes a blurb about each book as well as a chapter or so of each book and a link to request the book from NetGalley.
Unfortunately most of these books don’t appeal to me although I appreciate the inclusion of Bipoc authors and queer literature. The few books that have already been released as of this review (11/13/24) that I have read have all been various forms of disappointment so I don’t have much hope for the other included.

Buzz Books 2024: Romance is a great way to sample some of the upcoming romance books!

I love the concept of this and appreciate that it’s organized by genre. I will say I would much prefer the link to request the arc be at the beginning of each title! It was also a slight bummer that a few more of these didn't include a read now link!

I desperately wish that all NetGalley titles came with a small sample of the first few pages that was available before requesting because it was so great to get a chance to read a bit before deciding to request! I was able to weed out a few I had on my radar thanks to this kit but also added a few to my request list as well!

Twenty-one titles with excerpts sorted by target age and categories such as Contemporary and SciFi. Excellent chance to peek into the publishing future. I am particularly looking forward to January and the release of I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I’m Trapped in a Rom-Com by Kimberly Lemming. Multiple aliens in this one. Even our heroine Dorothy would be one when she and her lion bestie Toto are dropped onto a new planet that comes complete with dinosaurs.

As always, the Buzz Books previews of upcoming titles is an excellent tool to assess what books are coming and what books I would like to request. Even if I am not able to get my hands on an ARC that is included, I find the summaries and the excerpts to be plenty for determining if I would like to pre-order books as well! This time around I enjoyed exploring some of the romance sub-genres I don't necessarily gravitate too, and got an ARC for Kristy Boyce's upcoming YA rom-com 'Dating and Dragons'!

Thanks to Netgalley and Publishers Lunch for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Always glad to have a chance to get a peak at new books before they come out. Didn’t see any I wanted to request this time, but I appreciate the opportunity. Thanks!

This is my first time checking out the Buzz book series, and I loved it, both in concept and how many new releases I'm now excited to read more of.

I'm most excited about (and immediately requested ARCs for):
- First-Time Caller
- Shomance
- Love and Lattes
- Passion Project

If you can't tell, I have a type haha

The Buzz Books samplers are my favorite way to learn about upcoming titles. Huge appreciation for putting these samplers together.

I love getting a preview of all these wonderful books! Thank you so much NetGalley for putting this together!

Buzz Books is an excellent way to learn about future releases. There is details about each book including a brief synopsis to help decide if it’s right for you. If a title really piques your interest, you can dive into the first chapter! A perfect opportunity for the bookish community!

A lot of amazing books on the way! Very excited to read the full version of so many of these.
Especially excited to dive into the First-Time Caller that I have the opportunity to read as well very soon.

Thank you again for preparing these books - very helpfu and interesting to know what’s on the horizon

This is a wonderful guide to upcoming book releases! The guide is well organized, making it easy to read and easy to find what you are looking for! This is an excellent resource. I added a lot of these books to my TBR!

I found the compilation of upcoming romance reads in *Buzz Books 2024: Romance* to be incredibly helpful! This edition is the most extensive yet, featuring excerpts from 21 forthcoming titles that made it easy to decide which books to add to my Goodreads.

The variety is impressive, showcasing both debut and established authors across diverse characters, relationships, and genres. It includes single and multiple POVs and highlights inclusive themes like BIPOC and LGBTQ+. Plus, I appreciate that it offers both series and stand-alone options, clearly tagging target audiences and spice levels (perfect for those steamy reads!).

The excerpts are organized by subgenres, providing a clearer understanding of each title, with categories ranging from Contemporary and Dark Romance to Rom-Com and Sci-Fi.

For fellow book lovers, you can grab your copy of *Buzz Books 2024: Romance* at buzz.publishersmarketplace.com, which also offers another version of this type of book (Buzz Books 2024: Fall/Winter) with a broader range of fiction previews.

This guide has introduced me to several exciting titles I wasn't aware of—just what I needed to expand my TBR! A big thank you to NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for this advanced copy. While the ARC is a gift, my reviews are solely based on my own opinions, and I’m under no obligation to any company or individual to post. #NetGalley #BuzzBooks2024Romance #BuzzBooks2024

Thank you to Publishers Lunch and NetGalley for sharing Buzz Books 2024 Romance edition. I personally find the Buzz Books guides extremely helpful when looking for new authors, titles, genres, that I wouldn’t have otherwise seen. I do read most if not all of the included book excerpts. This time I was surprised by My Funny Demon Valentine, it’s not a genre I would usually go for but loved the excerpt and requested the ARC for review. These guides have helped me discover many different types of books!

Fantastic resource for booksellers and book bloggers to see what’s upcoming - already added the majority to my wish list!

I really enjoyed these little sneak peeks. This was an easy way to discover new authors and decide if you like their reading style enough to want to read more. I will definitely be checking out more by some of these authors.

This was my first time reading a sample book set up like this. The idea of it is excellent as you’re able to read a few chapters of each book before buying it. It introduced me to some new authors as well. Many of the books weren’t my style though as I’m not into Romantasy or paranormal. My favorite was the one by Jasmine Gullory as I’m familiar with her work. I’m looking forward to that one. Thank you NetGalley, the publisher & of course the author for gifting me this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Great and helpful preview of the Romance books coming up for this fall and winter. I picked at least 20 books out that I'll keep an eye on. I like the exceprts and descriptions included.

Great introduction! This is a very insightful book and I would suggest it to anyone. Helps to learn of what books may be of interest to you in searching for the books to come out or recently released.

Thanks to NetGalley and api publishers Lunch Buzz books for this advanced readers copy and this is my honest opinion.

I really appreciate the summaries of new books that are in Buzz Books. I like that you can link to netgalley as well. There are a lot of books to choose from and this really helps narrow the list of want to reads!
