This is such a helpful book! I will be coming back to it when I’m looking for my next read. It includes a cover, summary, and excerpt for each book. The books are divided into four categories: fiction, debut, nonfiction, and YA.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC!

A terrific reference for publications in 2025, will definitely use as a reading guide for the entire year, and beyond. Thank you Netgalley.

This is a must read when it comes out! It is nicely organized and has so many new books I now want to read.

This is brilliant! I'm so glad I stumbled on this. I just flipped through so far but I love that when i'm not sure what to read I can go right to this reference to choose something AND even request the galley right here on NG!

This is SO cool and I don't know why I didn't pull the trigger on it earlier.
I highly, highly recommend this to anyone who likes to stay up to date on what's coming soon. Esp if, like me, you get overwhelmed and nervous you'll request the wrong galleys.

{Thank you bunches to Publisher's Lunch, all of the authors & publishers included and NetGalley for this DRC in exchange for my honest review!}

This was such a helpful guide! I appreciated the organization of the genres and the excerpts were wonderful in helping narrow my interests so I can be selective about my requests on NetGalley.

I enjoy these Net Galley compilation books. It’s a great chance to find new authors and keep on top of upcoming releases. I have added several books to my list to read/request. Thank you Net Galley!

A nice collection of samples for up and coming books. Some definitely piqued my interest and I'm looking forward to requesting and hopefully getting the opportunity to read them early, if not, I have increased my 'to buy' list. Definitely a book to grab if you're interested in seeing what books might be of interest to you or if you're looking to give a new genre a try. I read this ebook through NetGalley.

Exactly what I need to choose my books for this year's reading challenge! There are a lot of options these days and having a guide is very helpful.

I am loving the fact that it provides small sneak peeks about the gist of the book and what to expect. Although all the books may not have covers, you know what to expect when they come out from prices, ISBN, and the expected date to drop in the year. This also made me realize what books I am drawn to once actually reading the synopsis.

Very helpful, I'm looking forward to quite a few of these titles. What a great resource! I will have to make a point to seek these out in the future.

I love Buzz Books' books because they introduce me to new authors and upcoming books that I'm excited about. I've already pre-ordered a few.

This selection offers a variety of options by genre and age level, so the odds are in the readers' favor of finding something to be excited about.

I also appreciate how the book was laid out, with summaries, publishing information (including date), and media information for me to be able to follow the authors/publisher.

This is a wonderfully informative help to plan purchases, reviews, book club selections, and steer promotional campaigns for the next few months!

An almost overwhelming look at books that are to be published in the first part of 2025. There is a giant list of books of various genres and then the summary and first few chapters of almost 50 books, including some of the biggest names this year. I was really excited to see the section highlighting notable debut novels, as it is harder for me to find new authors ahead of time and this really helps me keep an eye open for coming books. I definitely will be reading some of the books when they come out and be requesting others early!

This was lovely and a great way to preview books to sample them before requesting or reading them. Thank you for putting this together and making it available to us. There are several in here that I can't wait to read.

Buzz Books Spring/Summer 2025 sampler series is an amazing way to find your next reads for the season ahead. I found the listings for upcoming books by genre extremely helpful and a great source to start my reading list for the year. The selection of samples is vast and the exerts are long enough to get a sense of the story and writing. I'm looking forward to reading several of the books presented and excited for the Fall release later this Spring.

I always love the Buzz Books samplers! This collection offers a huge number of excerpts from books releasing in the first half of 2025 from a range of publishers. They give me a great chance to figure out what I want to request and read and introduce me to novels I wouldn't have heard of otherwise.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ebook. All thoughts are my own.

A great collection of very generously sized excerpts that left my TBR packed! There's something for every taste here.
