I'm going to rate these excerpts as a I read them so I don't forget!

Girl Dinner by Olivie Blake: 5 stars - I hadn't previously been considering this book for my TBR, but this excerpt gripped me immediately and now I definitely plan to read it! I love the quick-witted writing and I'm so intrigued to see where the story goes.

This is a fun way to find new boos! I just wish it was easier to preview without going through all 600 pages.

This was such a helpful guide! I found it useful for planning my TBR. I will definitely be referring to it multiple times over the course of the year

Such a nice and well put together guide on upcoming releases.
It’s exciting to see all the great books coming out this year and having the opportunity to read some excerpts.

Thank you NetGalley for this amazing resource and making it easy to see what books are coming out later his year. I've already added a bunch of books to my TBR list and I can't wait for some of these reads!

Thank you to Publishers Lunch BUZZ BOOKS for providing me with this arc of samples.

I really enjoyed the few I read from this and I can't wait to hopefully read the full ones either when I get full arcs or when they release. I love these samplers as they introduce me to new books coming out soon.

This is awesome! I am new to NetGalley and had not seen something like this before!

I love how it’s grouped and how the table of contents includes the publisher.

My TBR hates to see this though 😂

What a great way to keep up with the upcoming releases for this year. I’m glad that I can have this little comprehensive guide - and that it’s also a way to stay on top of releases outside of the genres I usually read.

I really enjoy the pleasing way this was formatted. I’ll definitely use this as something I’ll regularly check as the year progresses, so I can keep book releases fresh in mind.

I get so excited every time I see a new Buzz Books!! I immediately download and dive in and it always blows up my TBR - in all the best ways!! So many books to be excited about, some as far out as January 2026!!

This was fantastic!

I’ve never grabbed a buzz book sampler before, and I don’t know why! You get a comprehensive list of upcoming new releases as well as cover reveals and excerpts from a select number of books.

Like I need my NetGalley TBR to be longer 🙈 😂

Thank you NetGalley and publishers for putting this together!

An amazing preview of upcoming books! I didn't know this was a thing until yesterday. So excited for new releases from Patricia Lockwood, Catherine Newman, and Gabriel Tallent. Also, DANDELION IS DEAD sounds like a fab debut!

This makes me so excited to read the new books coming out this fall and winter! This introduced me to books that I would not normally read but super excited to read!

I always look forward to the Buzz Books editions! There are a lot of great books coming out over the next several months! I requested 2 of them and already downloaded another. Can't wait to read it! Thanks to NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for putting this together for us!

Very convenient. Thanks to Publishers Lunch for this great 2025 Fall/Winter overview.

It's very good to have a look at the cover, part of the story. Loads of interesting reads incoming.

It's Great! I love sneaking books like this. There are four categories: fiction, debut, young adult, and non-fiction from various publishers.

We have a summary of each book, 20 pages of story, along with their beautiful covers. The advantage of having 20 pages is that I can personally assess whether I like the writing style, which is a significant help in choosing books. We don’t usually have this option when buying books.

At the end, there is a link to NetGalley to request copies.

Fantasy, please!

I always look forward to the Buzz Books preview and welcome the opportunity to read the first chapters of forthcoming books. Lots of potential reads added to the list of books I would like to add to my library.

This latest edition of Buzz Books was quite the bee's knees. What a selection! I discovered several new books that had not been on my radar, so many thanks. I also attended the Buzz Books Authors & Editors Panel, a great companion to this Fall/Winter edition. It was an excellent format.
