So many amazing books that I am now going to check out. Love the different sections. A lot of new to me authors that I will be checking out.

Buzz Books 2025: Spring/Summer edition is a collection that offers readers an exclusive preview of nearly fifty of the seasons most anticipated releases, curated to showcase both established authors and emerging debuts. Readers will discover new works from beloved bestselling authors including Emma Donoghue, Georgia Hunter, Louis Sachar, V.E. Schwab, Mia Sosa, and Maggie Stiefvater. The collection also includes compelling releases from acclaimed literary voices who continue to push boundaries in contemporary fiction. This edition introduces several remarkable debuts such as Salvadorean-American author Darrow Farr’s The Bombshell draws partial inspiration from Patty Hearst’s kidnapping and radicalization to create a thought-provoking narrative. In nonfiction powerful new releases explore the depths of human experience. The young adult section showcases Kaya Morgan’s Crowning Achievement which weaves themes of grief and identity into a Renaissance Faire setting. Watch for Buzz Books 2025: Fall/Winter, arriving in May, to discover next season’s literary conversations in the making!

Oh man my TBR just got so much longer. I love these previews to help me decide what I have to read. Not that I ever have a small TBR, so maybe it’s not such a great plan to get pulled into new books.

Always a good way to find new releases. Really appreciate the excerpts, they help me make my mind on which ones I actually want to read. A couple caught my attention and I can't wait for them to come out.

If you’re looking for a fantastic way to fill your TBR list, this book is perfect! It not only provides the synopses of the most anticipated books of 2025 but also includes sample chapters. You’re bound to discover your next favorite read.
Also included are publishing dates for all books ,separated by genre.

This book was fantastic and incredibly enlightening about the upcoming spring and summer releases. I learned about favorite author's new upcoming books that I wasn't aware of and I discovered numerous authors I hadn't encountered before and am eager to explore their works.

This book was great and extremely informative of all the new and upcoming books of this spring and summer. I found out about a lot of authors that I had not read before and am excited to read in the future. Along with a lot of titles from authors I may have read before and didn't know were coming out with new works.

It is always such a treat to read an issue of Buzz books with excerpts from interesting and exciting new books. I only wish there was a UK equivalent
Thank you to netgalley and publisher's lunch for an advance copy of this book

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.

The Buzz Books series are phenomenal! I love getting to do a preview of so many upcoming titles.

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.
