I requested this on a whim and it did not disappoint! There were so many amazing excerpts from different books of all genres and there were a ton of books that are now on my radar that weren’t before reading this! There’s a ton of books I’ll be looking forward to reading this coming fall and winter, and I’m glad there were widgets inside the book for me to read some of my favorites right away! I’m excited to be reading some of these and sharing my thoughts and recommending these books to my Goodreads audience.

Excited for these! I'm leaving feedback because I have to. I don't think this book is going to be reviewed by anyone since it is just a preview?

Although the weather is just finally getting warmer, I’m a fall girl at heart, and I’m already looking ahead to the books coming out later this year and into 2026. The newest Buzz Books sampler, this time focused on the Fall/Winter seasons, is here to get us all excited about what’s to come.

Buzz Books: Fall/Winter provides an extensive list of titles to add to your TBR, from established bestsellers, emerging voices, and debut authors alike. There are hundreds of books across a range of genres, and over 20 of these come with longer excerpts of a few chapters each.

Some of the books excerpted here that I’m most excited to read in full include:
Burn Down Master’s House by Clay Cane;
Guilty by Definition by Susie Dent;
Women of a Promiscuous Nature by Donna Everhart;
Slashed Beauties by A. Rushby;
The Hunger We Pass Down by Jen Sookfong Lee;
If the Dead Belong Here by Carson Faust;
The Book of Autumn by Molly O’Sullivan;
The Vanishing Place by Zoë Rankin;
Black-Owned by Char Adams; and
Having it All by Corinne Low, PhD

Buzz Books 2025: Fall/Winter is a necessary resource for avid readers, book influencers, librarians, and booksellers. I love seeing the whole spectrum of books here, with a variety of settings, types of characters, and themes to appeal to a wide range of readers. Resources like this help me keep my reading diverse and fresh. This sampler has, as always, heightened my excitement for the books coming out in the coming months.

The Fall/Winter version of Buzz Books 2025 is a very useful and important compilation of excerpts from a variety of books coming out in the next several months.

Reading through it got me very excited about some books that were already on my radar and it introduced me to titles that I was completely unaware of. I truly appreciate the variety and breadth of this and that it includes several genres and categories.

I will continue to seek out future editions as they become available because this is a valuable resource.

Thank you to Publisher's Lunch for making it available for review.

I always look forward to the buzz on books. This Fall/Winter sampling was fantastic. I cannot wait to delve deeper into some of the titles. I am already compiling my TBR list. Thanks!

This is a great collection of samples of upcoming book releases. There are many books included, some I've heard of before, and some new to me. I like reading these collections to discover new books.

I love reading these! It's so great to get short summaries and even sneak peeks of upcoming books, to know which ones I want to prioritize.

These samplers are awesome! The excerpts are great, I am looking forward to read a few in full. Thank you to the publisher.

I'm so excited to have previews of some of the upcoming books for the rest of the year! This is a brilliant way to whet any bookworm's appetite. It's greatly appreciated!

So many new books on the horizon. It's no surprise, much like everyone else I am SUPER excited for Girl Dinner by Olivie Blake!!! But honestly there are more than I could have imagined coming out in just a short period of time. I love that this "sneak peek" is available, and really thankful so many excerpts are included! What a treat!

Love this! So many great books to plan to request/read in the months to come! I'm really looking forward to new books by Ann Packer and M.J. Rios!

SUCH a helpful tool to discover upcoming new works! I was already pretty excited for Girl Dinner by Olivie Blake, so I was happy to be able to read an excerpt from it in this. I am also very much looking forward to reading/requesting Some Bright Nowhere, Best Offer Wins, and The Vanishing Place.

This is my first time downloading a Buzz Books sampler, and I am enthralled. This is SUCH a useful tool for deciding what to request. I've jumped around quite a bit already, and it's incredibly helpful to get a sense of what books are the right fits for me to review.

Great excerpts from books coming out this autumn/winter. I found many I want to read some by known authors, but even more by debut authors.

This is such a great resource to check out upcoming titles! Thank you to Publisher's Lunch for the file to read and review.

thank you netgalley for all the previews of the upcoming books! this was so helpful to narrow down which of these i would like to pick up this fall and winter. we are in for a treat this year!

This was super helpful in getting my eyes on new titles coming out this year. One of my big challenges to myself was to read more debut authors and more books in genres out of my comfort zone, and this is a tremendous resource for those goals. Thank you very much to Publishers Lunch for providing this service and highlighting these authors.

This is an amazing resource! Just read some excerpts from books I had no prior knowledge of, but now i cannot wait to read. Girl Dinner and Haven’t Killed In Years have just been added to my tbr. Cannot wait for the next version of this resource ◡̈

Thank you for the preview these are so exciting! One of my favorite ways to find out about new upcoming books.

Thank you to Netgalley and publishers for the ARC!

This was a great way to get a lot of different books under my belt, but funnily, I've already read a lot of these books so it wasn't as effective! I think it's fantastic that Publishers Lunch is doing this now, it's especially helpful for librarians and purchasers. Thank you !
