I always get so excited to sample books via Buzz Books and add them to my TBR! This was no exception, especially sampling the Sav R Miller book.

SO Excited for this list of books to drop! Cannot WAIT to read these; especially Jasmine Guillory and Mia Sheridan but some of the debut author books look amazing as well!

It was helpful that there was a Table of Contents specifically for age group, but last year's version didn't include so much YA, which I personally preferred— it's entirely personal preference, but I don't read YA romance at all, and so I didn't get as much out of this preview as I may have otherwise.
My most-anticipated out of all the previews are:
-Of course, Jasmine Guillory's FLIRTING LESSONS, because I've loved everything she's ever written.
-My Funny Demon Valentine by Aurora Ascher— creating something completely ridiculous and hilarious out of demons and the supernatural is a skill I especially appreciate.

Love to know what publishing updates I need to keep an eye out for! Looking forward to updates from Amanda Weaver, Sav R Miller, Mia Sheridan, BK Borison and more!

What an interesting way to find new authors, stay updated with upcoming titles, and browse book covers. This excerpt collection was divided by age category. I hadn't known that Publishers Lunch created this list of Buzz Books, and quite honestly, I love this because I'm able to explore more categories of romance besides my go-to contemporary options. I also enjoyed reading the author bios and promotional information at the end of each excerpt. Thank you Publishers Lunch for hosting an incredible Buzz Books Romance Panel this year. Thank you also to Net Galley for letting me read this.

love this series - The Buzz books! It's great, it gives you a bunch of intros/first first chapters of a bunch of new releases! It's a great way to have a list of new releases to get excited about and it lets you start the stories and get excited!

I loved so many of these stories! I'm really excited to read:

Heart of the Sun - I love that it's set in the midst of an apocalyptic event - a massive solar flare!
First-Time Caller had a cozy and sweet vibe, and says it's inspired by Sleepless in Seattle!
Dating and Dragons - is just too sweet and cute and I'm so here for this!
and While We're Young had me at "inspried by Ferris Bueller's Day off" - so cute!
and OMG Sneak Peek for The Nightmare Before Kissmas will be the perfect Holiday read! I can't wait!

I'm so sad I've been missing Kimberly Lemming and I want to catch up before I tackled the newest read (I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I'm Trapped in a Rom-Com) but, honestly, these have the BEST titles!

I'm so excited for these!

I always find Buzz Books incredibly useful for finding out what is coming up and whether I might like a particular book. This issue was especially useful because it separated out the upcoming releases by sub genres.

I love checking out upcoming titles to recommend and add to my TBR. I usually don't read romance, but I found a few books that caught my interest."

I LOVE The Buzz Books series from Publishers Lunch! Thank you so much for the inside scoop on what will be big in the world of romance during the coming season, and especially for the generous excerpts. The Buzz Books download always informs my purchasing decisions, reader’s advisory, and “TBR” list for the Pennsylvania Young Reader’s Choice Award Committee! I especially love to peruse the Buzz Books for potential crossover titles that will be popular with faculty members. This season I am especially excited to start reading Flirting by Jasmine Guillory and Midnights with You by Clare Osongco! Many thanks, and I look forward to future Buzz Books Compilations!

This is a must have reference for folks who recommend romance reads or for those who love the genre and want to explore beyond their comfort zone. Publisher’s Lunch has produced a thorough and buzzworthy guide.

This sort of compilation was new to me.

I enjoyed this sneak peek of upcoming books. Here are a few I look forward to reading:

1. Promises & Pomegranates by Sav R. Miller -- Dark romance isn't my thing, but in an attempt to expand my reading boundaries, this is on my list.

2. My Funny Demon Valentine by Aurora Ascher -- Paranormal RomCom? Yes, please. Great description and great excerpt. I'll absolutely read this.

3. Hazardous to a Duke's Heart by Sabrina Jeffries -- I love historicals. Loved the description.

4. Showmance by Chad Beguelin -- Theater. Take my money.

5. First-Time Caller by B.K. Borison -- Loved the first chapter: the setting, the writing

6. Passion Project by London Sperry -- Intriguing excerpts. I want Bennet to find her passion.

An ARC is a gift, but views and reviews are subjective. Thank you @NetGalley for providing an ARC edition. These are my thoughts and impressions and I'm under no obligation to any company or individual.

This was a very interesting set of books! I think I will definitely be exploring further into quite a few of them!

What a great idea.
I’m not normally a romance reader so this is perfect for me as I could go through and read the samples to see if anything grabbed my attention and having the link to request the titles immediately is a great addition, also the titles being split into genre is such a great idea and it made it so easy to know what type of book it is e.g Contemporary, Romantasy, Sport .
Thank you Net Galley.
