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.

This does the job, I'm glad these previews are a thing!

I found a few books to request/keep my eye on and a few more that I'll probably avoid. I look forward to the 2026 Spring/Summer edition!

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.

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.

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.
