Interesting list of fall and winter books. Would have preferred more YA picks and a more comprehensive list overall.

Great way to have a taster of new books and select some as next reads. Thank you to #netgalley and the publisher for an ARC.

I always enjoy and appreciate these Buzz Books write ups! I take note of so many great upcoming reads and this time was no different. I hope Publishers Lunch continues to assemble and provide these to readers. My only suggestion would be to further segment the books by genre, further than just fiction - non-fiction - debut - YA. Even if it meant replacing the publisher in the parentheses of the title with the genre, that way I'm not missing out on any new books from my favorite genres.

Very useful as usual, having the samples and being able to read them is so helpful when deciding what to add to my TBR.

This is my second Buzz Books, and I love reading through it! Always great to see titles I wouldn't have found on my own.

After scrolling through these 37 stories and reading some of the first chapters, I added quite a few to my TBR. I can’t wait to read more!

As usual the buzz books delivers and of course it’s always informative and helps me to build my TBR list. This is a very valuable publication and I eagerly look forward to it every season . Never stop!

Loved having this resource as a way to read snippets of upcoming books! This has a mix of different genres and authors that will help you find new reads. Thank you to NetGalley!

Love having this little preview!! Honestly a little dangerous for my TBR, but I really think this should be done for every season/quarter. Super helpful to know what's coming

I love getting a taste of a book's writing style! I wish you could read a little snippet of all NetGalley titles before requesting them.

That said, this sampler is very heavy on more literary leaning titles with pretty heavy and serious subject matters. Women were not having a good time in most these excerpts! I'd prefer it if there was a bit more genre fiction and also a few more lighthearted titles included.

I look forward to Buzz Books releases. I love reviewing the upcoming releases and adding books to my TBR. Thank you for another great edition.

I loved getting a sneak peek at some of the upcoming books for fall and winter. There are some excerpts of upcoming books to sample and links to request some of the titles as well. I found and requested The Last Extinction, a title I would not have thought to look for otherwise. I do wish that the Table of Contents had the genre listed, as it would be easier to find titles of interest to me.

Thanks to Publishers Lunch for access to this on NetGalley.

This collection has me thinking of how many books are released each season and this Fall/Winter has some titles to watch out for across fiction,non-fiction, young adult, debut titles.
I had to request to read Jihyun Yun's - And the river drags her down because it centers around sisterhood,to have a sister use ancestral magic to resurrect her sister-that I would love to read.
Alejandro Varela's Middle Spoon also caught my attention because it's in letter format, and I would like to know what Ben has to say because the preview only had letters addressed to him- sadly,I wished for this, hope the publisher grants my request. And then I learned something about personal utility when it comes to addressing the structural,biological and systemic challenges and constraints women face.
Having such a collection introduces readers to writers and to books they would normally overlook and that's a good thing.
Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.

I miss the days when Buzz Books put out separate editions for different genres. Back then, I used to have a number of pre-orders and books to add to my wish list. This time I found none that I liked enough to order, likely due to having fewer samples.

This book is my bible for the reading months ahead. Invaluable. So many different genres. So rewarding to find authors I know who have books arriving soon.

I couldn't wait to take a peek at the Buzz Books 2025: Fall/Winter. It's always intrigued me, and when I saw an author I've been wondering about, I dove in. I didn't finish the sneak peeks but will be flipping through them to see what else may appeal to me. You can finish this in one sitting or spread it out until the autumnal equinox. I will say that I wish there were a few more authors that I already know in this review.

I appreciated the opportunity to take a peek at some of the new releases coming out this fall and winter. I was happy to see a lot of diversity in the releases and am interested to read about enslaved people taking revenge on their masters and another about forgiveness on a flower farm. My fall and winter will be busy.

A list of great recommendations across various genres to arrive this year. I’ve added many of these to my TBR. I cannot wait to start them.
