Wow! This is a great resource. There are lists of books across genres. Then photos, summaries and excerpts and author bios. Incredibly, helpful for readers and reviewers.

I loved reading the Buzz Books for 2025. I appreciated that there were several pages for each book so I could really decide if book and author's writing style would be of interest to me. Now I have a long list of books that I can't wait to read!
Thank you to NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for the opportunity to read the Buzz Books.

Thank you for the chance to read preview chapters of a lot of books I am excited about! How can I ever manage my TBR when I keep finding new and exciting reads?
I really liked the format of this preview as well, a whole section on debut authors as I am often interested in reading new voices and finding a new favorite author,

This was a very helpful guide to upcoming books for the spring/summer season! I especially liked the excerpts where I could get a sense of the story and the author's voice. My TBR list has definitely grown!

Incredibly valuable resource for plotting and planning out the books I'm interested in journeying through over the coming months. A comprehensive collection, but still very easily navigable. I'll certainly be looking out for more of these in the future.

This preview is well organized into genre sections and gives a good overview of some upcoming books for Spring - Summer 2025.
A lot of the books mentioned I had not heard of, there are excerpts from a variety of genres including from debut authors.
Many of the excerpts were from genres out of my comfort zone, so there is something for every reader.
I'll be on the lookout for the preview for next season.

Thanks to NetGalley for the experience of getting a snapshot of so many upcoming books! I can't say I read this whole thing, but I read every description and got to check out so many books I'm excited about. What a treat!

This was a great preview of upcoming books from established writers and debut authors. I liked that they gave you a pretty full list of books coming out in Spring/Summer 2025. They also gave you a pretty nice list of excerpts to read from the more anticipated writers. I wish they would have included author bios and photos, so we could see how diverse this list was. Other than not knowing if this was a diverse list in the material, I would have had to a lot of research because of the amount of authors with excerpts, not including the very large list at the beginning. This would have gotten more stars if there was explicit diversity.

Loved this edition of BuzzBooks. Added a bunch of great upcoming books to my TBR and ARC requests. It expanded my reading to surprising new genres. A great way to find out about new releases and promising debuts!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this copy.

have been reading these books that give a preview of upcoming books for many years. They make it simple to build a list of books I want to read and read an excerpt.
I recommend them highly. Flag what looks good to you personally and build a collection of what you like to read.
Thank you to the publisher and authors for providing me with a copy of this book. You make my life easier and more organized.
All opinions are my own.

Great compilation of new books coming online for 2025! I have added a few books to my TBR now based on the excerpts. Thanks netgalley for putting this together and making it available.

Great way to expand my TBR! I wish I heard about this sooner and now I want to read more from Publishers Lunch.

Every time Netgalley releases a "book buzz" edition I get giddy. Not only does it list the books coming out along with publication dates and publisher information, but it also gives excerpts so you can "try it out" before requesting it! Brilliant! Each genre is represented and I love looking at the upcoming selections of nonfiction when that's not something that I often turn to. I have found so many good books that way! Thanks to the publisher for access to this wonderful book!

Unable to read due to LCP DRM. Sadly, that's not compatible with my Kobo. A pity that Netgalley didn't consult its users before changing its content protection provider.

As always, great collection of books. A few are now on my tbr and I can't wait to read them. One of the things I love is that I always discover new authors to try out, so I am excited for the books to be out.

Always love reading these because they give me an idea of some of the books that I may be interested in that will be coming out soon. This also lets me read a little of the book before I decide.

i love that we have a list of a lot of upcoming book available and a great variety of authors! also just discovered a few books that seems interesting

As always, “Buzz Books” is a useful preview of the most noteworthy titles coming to Netgalley. Apart from excerpts, I appreciate the long list of planned publications.

great to learn more about the upcoming releases in this year and to discover books that you might’ve never thought about

I love these kinds of samples. There's definitely some books from this sampler that I am interested in checking out.
