Exciting to see all the wonderful books coming out this fall/winter!! Very cool to get to see the Patricia Lockwood excerpt especially.

Thank you NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review. Buzz Books 2025: Fall/Winter sampler includes 37 excerpts from fiction, debut fiction, nonfiction, and young adult titles. I’m excited to read many of the full versions of the included titles. My to read pile has grown quite a bit! These samplers are a great way to get exposure to titles, authors, and genres you may otherwise miss.

I always enjoy being able to look throught this selection of upcoming books and get a taste for each one without having to download the full book. I'm very much a mood reader so it's very helpful! I also love that the links to request are included with each excerpt. So many great books coming out this year!

Nice to have the excerpts although it was a little long and cumbersome to navigate through. Overall good

Love getting these each quarter. I loke having the new books, summary and request link all in one easy to find spot.

Thank you so much for putting together this list of upcoming reads for fall and winter. I loved browsing the new releases and am excited to read some of them once they come out (or if I get ARCs).

Always a delight and special treat to read excerpts of new books, and request the best!
Thank you to netgalley and publisher's lunch for an advance copy of this book.

There’s something magical about getting a glimpse of the stories headed our way, and Buzz Books 2025: Fall/Winter delivers that bookish thrill in spades. It’s a thoughtfully curated sampler full of exciting voices—some familiar, some brand new—and now I’ve got a whole stack of upcoming releases I can’t wait to dive into. If you love the feeling of discovering your next favorite read before it hits the shelves, this one’s a treat.

A great selection of interesting reads that I would miss otherwise. The books are divided into categories of fiction, debut, nonfiction and ya which makes navigation easier. This collection might help people to get the outline prediction of what would be the next hot read

Thank you Publishers Lunch for the opportunity to preview a wide variety of books that we have to look forward to this Fall and Winter!

Other than being excited about the array of books debuting in fall/winter I don't think there is any other feedback I can provide. Unfortunately, when I chose not to give feedback I got docked for it.

I really appreciated this guide, especially that upcoming releases are listed by genre. It makes it very easy to find titles of interest! I also really appreciated the inclusion of excerpts of some of the featured books because they exposed me to authors I might not have known about. Thank you for making this guide. Very much looking forward to Fall/Winter releases.

How to discover your next great read
We all know that we shouldn't judge a book by its cover...but in a world where so many new books are dangled before us, how else can we discover which ones to try? That's where Buzz Books can prove helpful, from the listings at the beginning of the book of notable upcoming releases (both from established, tried and true favorite authors and those from new or lesser known writers) to the real gem...excerpts from dozens of upcoming books, a sampler of fiction, non-fiction, YA and debut authors. You have the opportunity, in the comfort of your own home or favored reading spot, to leaf through books that might be of interest to see if the writing lives up to the cover. I discovered Buzz Books several years ago, and have been sure to grab it each season (it comes out twice a year, a Spring/Summer and a Fall/Winter edition) ever since. Each time I find at least half a dozen titles that I would not necessarily have discovered on my own to enjoy, and this latest release is no different. Featuring excerpts from 37 different books slated for release in Fall/Winter 2025, I found myself intrigued across genres by several books, a couple from authors whom I have read and enjoyed in the past and others from new (or at least new to me) writers. I highly recommend giving the Buzz Books series a try! My thanks to NetGalley and Publishers Launch/Buzz Books for allowing me access to this latest installment of an incredibly helpful series in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you a preview up the upcoming books. These are always so helpful. I really enjoyed reading previews of the upcoming new releases.

I love the Buzz Books for two reasons--first, it's great to see the list of what books are upcoming so I can put them on my radar (and request from NetGalley!). I also love being exposed to new authors--there were several in this edition that looked really good, including Scavengers, The Sunshine Man, Family of Spies, and Guilty by Definition.

Thank you to Net Galley for providing Buzz Books 2025 Fall/Winter for booksellers and librarians
Once again, Buzz Books has given me the opportunity to look ahead to publications later this year with exhaustive lists in fiction and non-fiction along with excerpts from some very exciting writing including debut novels.
The commercial fiction list of upcoming books is also very helpful as customers at the bookshop ask for the latest from their favorite authors.
I will be requesting early copies of many suggested titles.
Thank you again.

Fun way to see some books that will be published in the coming months. Each book has an excerpt and all the information you might need. I have already written down some titles to add to the books in the bookshop I work at.

Highly interesting and helpful look into late 2025 new releases, very greatful to Netgalley for giving readers the opportunity to access this.

Another great preview of many upcoming and exciting books. Complete with the links to request them if you want to read more. I always find several reads here that are unexpectedly great that I would not have picked up otherwise. Can't wait to read the books I found here!

Awesome sneak peek of new releases! Love being able to read several chapters to decide to request or not. Thank you Netgalley!!
