I really enjoyed getting to read these excerpts of 49 books, it gave me a idea of what I was wanting to read and how the books worked in the genre. I appreciated getting to read about these books and thought it was a strong idea.

Great Collection, I read several and have a few more on my yet to read pile. Looking forward to reading and reviewing soon!

These are so helpful. Thank you for creating them - just the right amount of information. Looking forward to the next one

I love to read previews of upcoming books. Helps me decide what else I want to read. There are lots of great books coming soon.

Such a fun and exciting sneak peek at what’s coming in 2025! I always love flipping through Buzz Books, it’s a great way to discover new voices and add way too many titles to my TBR. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for this sampler!

Hard to give feedback as this was a collection of excerpts, but great overview of upcoming reads and helped me create my list of books to review and read for the season.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this lovely sampler of exciting new titles! A really varied selection, of which SO many have been added straight to my TBR.

Thank you @NetGalley!! My TBR is full once again! I love Buzz Books from NetGalley. I am so excited for the new Emma Donoghue novel.

Thank you, as always, for sharing the "buzz" on books being released! I'm not quite sure how to write a 100 character review about it though!

I loved this.. getting to get a glimpse of upcoming books was fantastic. Being able to read a bit of each book is a great was to determine if it is for you!
Thank you NetGalley!

Loved this. A nice it of insight into what’s coming up. Some new authors and titles added to my TBR list.

This is a great source for deciding what books to read next. I didn't realize this was portions of novels soon to come out. I didn't read as much of it as I probably should have but I was busy reading the books I'd already chosen to read. Thanks to NetGalley for offering this one to read.

Thank you a preview up the upcoming books. These are always so helpful. I really enjoyed reading previews of the upcoming new releases.

A book that I look forward to. I enjoyed reading the many author’s works in this ok. The only thing I don’t like is it always make my books to read list gets longer! It’s a great book to read if you are looking for a new book to read.

This was a really wonderful guide on upcoming books! I appreciated the different categories and info on release dates. It made me excited for new book releases!

This is the first time I've come across Buzz Books and I think it's a fantastic idea.
Whether it's fiction or non-fiction, a debut or a bestselling author, across 49 excerpts, there is a little something for everyone.
The short excerpts are a great way to sense if you'd want to read more, and you can easily jump between different stories you're interested in.
Some standouts from this edition include Emma Donoghue's The Paris Express and Georgia Hunter's One Good Thing, along with in the young adult section Graci Kim’s Dreamslinger and Swayer Lovett's Shampoo Unicorn.

Unfortunately I didn't find anything that caught my fancy. Which isn't really the fault of the publisher.

📚 If you're looking to get ahead on 2025’s most buzzworthy reads, this free sampler is a goldmine. *Buzz Books 2025: Spring/Summer* offers a curated collection of excerpts from nearly 50 upcoming titles—everything from big names like Emma Donoghue, V.E. Schwab, and Maggie Stiefvater to exciting debuts and standout nonfiction.
There’s something for everyone: historical fiction, fantasy, thrillers, heartfelt contemporary, YA, and even a few memoirs. Personal favorites from the sampler include *The Paris Express* and *Dreamslinger*, but honestly, the variety makes it easy to find a new author or genre to love.
It’s the perfect taster tray of what’s coming in the book world. Highly recommend downloading it if you want to fill up your TBR with confidence. 🌟📖
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) – An essential for any book lover or early reader!

I love to read these but I hate that they just hang around in my "give feedback" shelf section. More! More! More! Five stars! Nothing specific.

This catalog is fantastic! I was able to create lists of books to look out for, books to research, books to request, and books to add to my tbr. This is the best collation of 2025 releases that I’ve come across to this day. I do a lot of research into which books are being released and when, but it’s comforting to know I always have this resource available.
