This is an extremely helpful guide with publication dates. I will be revisiting this as new titles become available to request on Netgalley over the next few months. Thank you so much!

So brilliant to be able to read samples of other authors' writing! A cracking year of reading ahead.

Can never pass up early samples to get you ready for the end of the year reads. Some make you wish they were already out and some make you delete things off your tbr.

As always, this is my holy grail when it comes to the bones of these quarters.
Thank you bunches, Publishers Lunch, for putting this together. & looking forward to seeing you all virtually later this evening!
(Thank you bunches to Publishers Lunch, NetGalley & all of the authors and publishers who allowed us this sneak peek!)

This came out at the perfect time, for me.... I've been feeling a little low about my upcoming reading prospects. I've read so many good things by great authors recently, that I figured I'd have to wait much longer for more interesting things to read.... and I'm happy to say that reading this, the excerpts of upcoming books, has restored my faith. I'm excited to have something to look forward to, again. So, like I said, perfect timing. . . . And I cannot WAIT to read a few of these new books!

Very excited for some of the upcoming reads this season.
Specifically:
- Girl Dinner, Olivie Blake
- The Book of Guilt, Catherine Chidgey
- Best Offer Wins, Marisha Kashino
The links to go to the book did not work in the NetGalley Reader.
Can't wait to see reviews for these titles

Great list of what's coming on the horizon. I found a few gems I will consider reading. I wish there were more offerings in the Teen, Emerging adult, YA & Childrens categories..

I LOVE The Buzz Books series from Publishers Lunch! Thank you so much for the inside scoop on what will be big in the coming season, and especially for the generous excerpts. The Buzz Books download always informs my purchasing decisions, reader’s advisory, and “TBR” list for the Pennsylvania Young Reader’s Choice Award Committee! I especially love to peruse the Buzz Books for potential crossover titles that will be popular with faculty members. This season I am especially excited to start reading Girl Dinner by Olivia Blake and And the River Drags Her Down by Jihyun Yun! Many thanks, and I look forward to future Buzz Books Compilations!

This is a collection of upcoming releases scheduled for fall and winter 2025. It’s very convenient for readers, as it features the first chapters of books by various authors—both well-known and debut. At the end of each excerpt, there’s information about the author, publisher, release date, and a link to request the title on NetGalley.
Some of the books caught my attention, especially Haven't Killed in Years by Amy K. Green, and I’ll definitely be submitting a request!
Thank you to Publishers Lunch and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This is a really nice way to get a trial sample of some of the most anticipated books! It lets me see if the writing style is up my alley for a lot new-to-me authors as well as some excerpts from some favorites. Some of the links aren't working but I'm assuming it's because they aren't yet available to request on NetGalley.
I love keeping up to date on the book world with Publishers Lunch, thanks for this sampler!

My fall is about to be BOOKED! I had the chance to dive into Buzz Books 2025: Fall/Winter, and it’s such a fantastic resource for anyone looking to stay ahead of the latest literary trends. This collection is a TBR booster for sure – my reading list has grown exponentially after flipping through these excerpts, and I can’t wait to see how these titles hold up when they’re fully published.

This is a great collection of upcoming releases. This put a few books on my radar that I wasn’t aware of but am now interested in learning more about.

Easy to navigate between books, the excerpts and chapters give you a brief but enticing view into upcoming novels. It’s just enough of a preview to spark your interest. Not only can you find new genres or authors, but also getting this preview helps prevent requesting books you won’t enjoy. Thanks for providing this!

Absolutely frothing at the mouth for the new Olivie Blake. Samplers are so useful and get me so excited for the reading year! They're such a good way to try out authors without committing to a whole book, and it helps you prioritize which releases to pick up and request. I like that buzzbooks links directly to the Netgalley request pages.

I always love these samplers. This one includes a bunch of books I was curious about, so I'm excited to check those out and see if I want to request them. Thank you NetGalley!

These are some of my favorites to see different samples from different genres of new and upcoming releases! I love that it separates by genre and talks about other books coming out even if those samples are not included.
It’s a good way to read multiple samples and decide what you want to read.

This is great! So useful! Will peruse with care and prepare a video for my channel with the top 10 I wish to read.

Thanks, Buzz Books, for letting me check out the books before I order them! I really like trying these samples to see if I vibe with the style and story. A few books caught my eye, and I actually have one of them already. I noticed the links aren’t working though. *May 13
Thanks to Publishers Lunch and NetGalley for the eARC!

I love that Buzz Books lets me sample titles before requesting—it's a great way to discover what truly resonates with me. The links don’t seem to be working right now (Read via NetGalley Reader).
Thank you to Publishers Lunch and NetGalley for providing this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thanks to #NetGalley for this publication. I always enjoy seeing these every season to find new authors, familiar authors, and new books forthcoming.
