I love every single Buzz Books release. These roundups offer so many resources. The sectioned upcoming release allow me to direct my focus and the option to read first chapters helps me make decisions for my TBR/request list.

A great way to sample what is coming next! I ended up requesting ARC for;

Girl Dinner
Burn Down Master’s House
Sheer
Women of a promiscuous nature
Haven’t killed in years

Should be a great publishing season!

These collections are always such a useful way to get a sense of what’s coming up, and I love being able to sample a bunch of titles in one place. BuzzBooks never fails to help me spot a few new favorites to watch for. And yes, it also helps my ratio, which is always a win.

Quite a few winners in this bunch that I’d love to read the full books! Thanks to netgalley and the publishers for this early sample

This was a fun list of books - I added way too many to my TBR! Thank you netgalley for recommending so many awesome books!

This was a really great comprehensive guide to new books for Fall/Winter of 2025. I appreciated how organized the information was, and the categories made it easy to read

I love all the upcoming releases 😍

I’m so excited for a few of them, hopefully I get some approved here 😊

This is a great collection of samples that allow one to have a glimpse into several books before committing to a specific one. I always enjoy reading samples of books I'm interested, and even those I am not. I've found several books I wouldn't have been likely to consider after reading an excerpt/sample of it.

Thank you for creating these samples of buzz worthy books in one convenient format. It contains a great variety of genres and styles, and I found several new requests or purchases in this collection!

Thank you to Publishers Lunch and NetGalley for providing the opportunity to learn about upcoming book releases.

Twice a year the Publishers Lunch releases Buzz Books, previewing anticipated book releases of established and emerging authors in four categories: Fiction, Debut, Nonfiction, and Young Adult. The sampler series includes a summary, excerpt, author and book details for each of the featured upcoming releases. As a reader or industry professional, you won’t want to miss it.

It is always great to have these previews. They help me make decisions about stocking and buying for personal reasons. I also use them with my students to help them chose books for their in class reading.

I think this was very helpful to get a sneak peek of some buzzy books from fall/winter and to find new releases I hadn't heard of before.

Downloaded this because I was dying to know which books were "buzzy" for Fall/Winter. Loved seeing what Publisher's Lunch is excited about.

I’m thankful to have gotten a preview of the upcoming releases but the format was hard to use with my kindle.

I LOVE each Buzz books and make excel spreadsheets of what to read and request based on them. Sometimes they are an awful idea as I'll get realllly excited for a book after being able to read a preview but them having to wait monthsss for the full book. the fault of Publisher's Lunch, mine for getting too excited. :)

Uhm... Did my TBR need more books on it? Clearly not. Did I totally add a bunch of them because of this book? Of course.

In all seriousness, it was a great way to "trial run" some books that I wasn't sure about or discover new authors altogether. I'm so happy I could get my hands on it!

A nice overview of upcoming books. Thanks to the publishers and NetGalley for the look at them! I wish it had also included younger children's books, but the books it did include were very nice.

This well-organized list of upcoming books makes it easier for me to decide what to add to my TBR. The bonus previews are a great help, too.

I really enjoyed seeing what upcoming books are getting some hype. Some of these books I hadn't even heard of. The excerpts were great. I've now added a couple books to my fall want to read list because they would have otherwise not been on my radar.
