I love the issues of the Buzz Books. It is very helpful to read an excerpt of a book before requesting it on Net Galley. There are always good books by known authors and authors previously unknown to me.
Thank you, Publishers Lunch and Net Galley for this latest issue of Buzz Books.

I love having these preview books to find some titles that might slip under the radar or indie authors I might not have picked up. Plus there's a couple snippets from books I'm already anticipating. Thanks to Netgalley for the arc.

always love these buzz books to see what's on the horizon and to keep an eye out for at the bookstores and libraries.

This is a great way to preview books with chapters to read rather reading a blurb. I have found some new authors and some that I have read in the past. This will be helpful when there are so many choices in the market and having a need to prioritize.

I love this format and this idea. I wish I had nine lives to read all the books I want to read. Now including Mai Tsai's MEMORY HUNTERS and Fishers the NEXT CONVERSATION.

Nice Preview! Appreciate the embedded access to arcs. The list at the front is very comprehensive and the sampling of buzzworthy upcoming books is really nice for readers to get a feel of what to expect in the next reading season. It's always nice in this day and age of so many books to purchase, to get more info on selections beyond a summary/blurb.

I always look forward to the Buzz Books edition. Great set of books coming up! I can see myself picking up quite a few of these. Thanks Netgalley and publishers

A great list of up and coming books to at the the TBR list.
A lot of great excerpts from new authors and buzz books for the next season.

An interesting assortment of titles. I added some to our library's to-purchase list and requested some of the ARCs.

This didn’t appear to be a product meant for receiving actual feedback. I wish thee was an option to review without the review option impacting my profile rating.

Thank you to Publishers Lunch for providing this guide to the forthcoming Spring/Summer titles of which there are so many I'm looking forward to. I'm grateful for the opportunity to see the excerpts and jot down the books I'm looking forward to reading, especially the following in no specific order.
Most anticipated 2025 spring/summer releases:
・Happy Land by Dolen Perkins-Valdez
・Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab
・The Memory Hunters by Mia Tsai
・A Girl Within a Girl Within a Girl by Nanda Reddy
・Blood Slaves by Markus Redmond
・The Faceless Thing We Adore
・My Other Heart by Emma Nanami Strenner
Plus so many, many more!

I wasn't positive if this was meant to be reviewed, but wow am I glad that I read it. I wish all publishers released something like this twice a year too. Majorly helpful in deciding if you want to read a book. I have a slight issue with confusing (to me) writing styles and this really would have been helpful with a few books that I requested but just could not push through. Found so many books I can't wait to read.

What an incredible lineup of upcoming books!! This is an outstanding resource for readers and reviewers. I am eager to read excerpts of books that I’m interested in.
This is a delicious collection that will help me to organize my virtual bookshelves. Thanks so much, Netgalley, for providing this wealth of information that will make our book selections more precise.

Super helpful look at upcoming books. Not really reviewable, for the purposes of NetGalley, but useful as a book club organizer. Thank you!

I'm glad I can read the excerpt before requesting arc. Sometimes the writing style isn't my cup of tea so I'm glad I can read what I really like and vibe with.

I spent an evening reading through this guide to upcoming releases. I loved being able to read a substantial excerpt before committing to requesting a book. I requested a few books, scored a Read Now I’m really excited for, bookmarked some others to go back to if I find extra time for reviews, and added some books to my TBR outside of NG for later. Really glad I gave this a try!

I like the Buzz Books previews. I like to know what books are coming out. The best part of this is having the opportunity to read a chapter from the books. I really look forward to these and they never disappoint.
Thank you NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for providing me with an ARC.

This was extremely helpful!
I appreciated the previews, and the option to directly be linked to request/read the titles.
It was extremely organized, and a great resource!

I absolutely love this! It's super helpful to have a place to start when looking for upcoming titles to feature. It's certainly not 100%, but I still think it's kinda awesome. Thanks for sending it to me.
