This is my second Buzz Book and I enjoyed checking it out. This is perfect and it keeps to know which all books to keep an eye out for. It helps best to see if a book is to your taste before committing to it fully.

I look forward to checking out the Buzz Books. It is perfect to check out new books and authors. Looking forward to the next one.

‘Welcome to Buzz Books 2025: Fall/Winter, the 27th edition of our celebrated sampler series.’
This is the first time I’ve picked up a Buzz Book from NG and the anticipation it stirred up was absolutely frenetic! I get it now!
Thank you Publishers Lunch BUZZ BOOKS for the opportunity!

This was a great way to read about some upcoming releases. I enjoyed reading the excerpts of a few books. Definitely adding some of these to my tbr list.

This is a wonderful glimpse into many of the 2025 fall/winter releases! Many have the option to request the title embedded. I really like how there is a summary of the book, and except, and then a writeup about the author at the end. There are several debut and YA titles that were of interest to me and I can’t wait to get my hands on them later this year!

I look forward to these every season. It's a great way to see a list of upcoming titles and to get a sample of some of them to see if I want to request. I've added a few titles to my TBR based on the list contained here.
Thanks to NetGalley and Publishers Lunch BUZZ BOOKS for compiling this.

Thanks for putting this together. I’m looking forward to reading the following based on their summaries and excerpts!
If The Dead Belong Here
The Book of Autumn
The Poet Empress
And The River Drags Her Down

I adore these excerpt collections! I requested several new books after reading their blurbs and excerpts! So many great upcoming books to look forward to!
Thank you Publishers Lunch!!

Awesome guide to the 2025 Fall& Winter upcoming publications! The guide made it very easy to read some of each book and decide what books I would like to try and request full galleys of.

I actually really love this. I discovered several books I really want to read that I may not have heard about otherwise. You get a peek at a book before you request and get a link directly to the request page. This is such a neat way to see what’s coming soon.

As always, the Book Buzz Series is very useful to those of us who love reading new releases . Having the opportunity to see what’s going to be published, read excerpts to he,p make the choice of requesting an advanced copy is fabulous .Thanks so much !

Great resource! I got to see a sneak peek from a few books I’ve been looking forward too. The complete lists at the beginning by subject are an awesome guide.

This is such a great resource! I really appreciated this insight into other genres and subgenres that I may not be as tuned into, I have more books to preorder for sure. Thank you Netgalley and Publishers Lunch for this file!

Lots of exciting reads to look forward to! Loved the guide, it gave “Sears Christmas Wishbook” vibes!

Reading the excerpts has me going feral for them! I love the links to directly request them, it's super helpful.

I so look forward to these book previews every half year or so. As usual, I have added many books to my TBR list.

I love these samplers! I was able to add three new titles to my shelf thanks to these excerpts: And the River Drags Her Down, Seven for a Secret, and
The Sacred & the Divine!

What an absolutely phenomenal line up we having coming for Sept - January!
This really is a great line up - from house selling to mysterious illnesses, from revenge killing to ghosts that haunt - we really have some exciting titles!
We have some really great debuts coming but also some return authors that we haven't heard from for a few years and their new stories sound amazing!
These are just a few of the covers of the stories I'm MOST excited to read!
Girl Dinner by Olivie Blake Burn Down Master's House A Novel by Clay Cane The Hunger We Pass Down by Jen Sookfong Lee Best Offer Wins by Marisa Kashino The Vanishing Place by Zoe Rankin The Book of Guilt by Catherine Chidgey Women of a Promiscuous Nature by Donna Everhart
Haven't Killed in Years by Amy K. Green The Sunshine Man A Novel by Emma Stonex Will There Ever Be Another You by Patricia Lockwood Sheer by Vanessa Lawrence If the Dead Belong Here by Carson Faust Scavengers A Novel by Kathleen Boland
I love learning about the books coming out next season! I'm so excited for these!

I found Buzz Books to be such a helpful guide in learning about upcoming books for this year. I thought there was good variety in type of stories being provided, so there is a good chance you might find a gem or your next read. The sampler is divided up into four parts: fiction, debut, nonfiction, and young adult. This made it easier to pick a section I was interested in and what kind of excerpts I wanted to try out. The summaries before the excerpts also gave me a feel of what the book was about before I dived right in.
I also liked how it highlighted some debut authors. I got to learn and get a feel for new and emerging voices. I found The Book of Autumn by Molly O' Sullivan, to be interesting! I liked the second-chance romance and found the character Max to be quite charismatic from the jump. For well known authors, I'm excited to be able to read more of the Girl Dinner by Olivia Blake.
Thank you to Publishers Lunch, for this sampler.

I am so, so excited for some of these stellar fall books. My TBR grew, and there’s such a great variety to look forward to this fall!
