This is such a great resource for all of the new books coming out. It was beneficial for me to read some excerpts and get interested in some books that I might not have otherwise. I’m excited for many of these releases! Thank you to Publishers Lunch Buzz Books and NetGalley for this!!!

This is such a fantastic resource and a great way to get to know authors I’m unfamiliar with. I especially like the section on debut authors as it always encourages me to buy a book or two that may not have been on my radar. Thank you NetGalley!

Wow! What a selection of excerpts! Great samples and several books have me intrigued to read more. I always appreciate the chance to preview these buzzy titles.

I look forward to reading this publication each time it is posted. It is the best resource available! Thank you, NetGalley.

I love lists of books and this compilation is very helpful. I liked how the books are separated into different categories. I noted many books I am interested in reading this coming fall and winter, and I will refer back to it as needed. Thanks to NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for the eARC.

Buzz Books is such a great way to get an idea of what new books I would like to read. I like that the excerpt give a taste of an author's writing style.

Also such a great way to sample an authors writing style to see what books would be right for me now. I love love love this and will be reading from now on! Debit authors, retuning favorites and ya, this compilation has it all. Essential reading !!

This is my first time downloading and using a preview document. I thought it was incredibly helpful to see so many various genres and works represented and access sneak peaks of interesting titles from a number of publishers. The formatting made it easy to navigate and it was great to have releases dates next to titles.
I especially appreciate the inclusion of emerging authors providing exposure to those I may not have heard of our missed.

I love to see what books are up and coming. This list does a great job of showing that! I always look forward to the new Buzz Books.

I absolutely love the Buzz Books samplers! They’ve completely changed the way I discover new authors. Being able to preview a variety of upcoming releases has helped me find so many “new-to-me” writers whose work I might have otherwise overlooked. What I especially appreciate is the opportunity to get a genuine feel for each author’s writing style, voice, and storytelling approach before committing to a full-length novel. It’s like going on a first date with a book—you get a sense of whether it’s a good match without any pressure. These samplers have become an essential tool in shaping my reading list, and I always look forward to exploring the next one!

o many good books coming this fall—I'm seriously excited. This preview is awesome, and getting little sneak peeks at what’s dropping soon? Obsessed. My TBR cannot handle it! <3

I never knew that there was such a book that loaded release
dates, summaries and excerpts of new books! Where has this been my whole life!

This had some great previews. The snippet of Girl Dinner and And the River Drags Her Down were both really captivating, and I'm looking forward to more books from this!
