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.

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.

This was a great preview of upcoming releases for Spring/Summer 2025! So many interesting titles in fiction and non-fiction are included, from well-known to debut authors. My TBR just grew drastically!

I love these book previews not only to get a sense of what books are coming out, but to get a chance to read a few chapters of a selection to know which ones I really want to prioritize reading!

These books are great to get an idea of books you're looking forward too before they release. For me there weren't any books that caught my attention, but i'm sure there will be some for some people .

Great overview of a ton of upcoming releases. I've read many of these guides before and this one feels very in depth. They listed books from different genres: fiction, nonfiction, YA, and also a collection of debut authors. It also includes a large group of publishing houses. I found some new authors and titles that I will explore in the future! The comparisons to other well-known books/series were helpful (if you liked this, try this). I also liked that there are direct links to request egalleys on NetGalley. This definitely exposed me to books that I would not have known about otherwise. I love these overviews and will look for them in the future.

This was a wonderful preview of upcoming book releases for this spring and summer!

There was great variety among genres and topics covered in the books. There are mostly excerpts of fiction books but there are some nonfiction as well, I was really happy to see that there was a section dedicated to debut authors. I thought there could have been a few more YA titles included but otherwise there was a good range of books. A few excerpts captured my attention and I added them to my seemingly endless TBR.

I recommend this to anyone looking for upcoming releases they may be interested in. The excerpts included here are a good way to get introduced to new authors and stories.

This helpful overview of upcoming titles offered engaging teasers that covered multiple genres in fiction and non-fiction from familiar bestselling authors and promising newcomers. A much longer TBR list was the result.

There are some really exciting previews here! I love to get a sneak peak of these new titles before they're released. One I am especially excited about is The Magician of Tiger Castle by Louis Sachar. His Sideways Stories from Wayside School was one of my favorite books from childhood, and now he's finally written a novel for adults. He has such an incredible imagination.


The Paris Express by Emma Donoghue also sounds interesting.

I'm excited for some of these debuts, as well. It's thrilling to be among the first to read a promising new author. The Seven O'clock Club by Amelia Ireland has piqued my interest.

Thank you to NetGalley and the various publishers for early access to these excerpts.

I always love researching which books are coming up later in the year, and Buzz Books editions help provide a jumping-off point for where to start finding them. I'm especially excited for Louis Sachar's upcoming adult debut, The Magician of Tiger Castle. Thanks NetGalley, for the wonderful resource.

I don’t plan on reading any of these books, but it’s a great reminder of my “no dragons, no interest” rule.
