Enough to make your mouth water ^^ A number of titles have also joined my personal wish list. All that's missing is time to read them all

It's really nice to have a not only a list of the most hyped books for the fall and winter, but also a collection of samples to try out! I'm someone who likes to plan ahead, so I appreciate the option to use the NetGalley Reader with direct links to request books that I find interesting.

What a great way to learn about books coming out. The excerpts are phenomenal but just reading the listing of upcoming titles was exciting and informative.

This was my first time reading a compilation of book excerpts and I can’t believe I waited so long. I added way too many books to my TBR and have a bunch of new pending request. Mostly from books I wouldn’t have normally requested. What a great way to find new titles

This is a really helpful guide to see what books are coming out in 2025. This is extremely helpful for me to get a sense of what to recommend to others to read this year! I loved how each book gave a picture of the cover (if available), a summary, and an excerpt which was usually a prologue or chapter. This helped me get a sense of each book in the catalogue, which is excellent for planning purposes as an educator.

While I appreciate the premise of the Buzz Books 2025: Fall/Winter, there were many authors I didn't know and the books selected didn't appeal to me. However, it would be a great resource for those seeking these genres of books.

Thank you for the opportunity.

I loved the idea and I found a lot of interesting books on it. The previews were especially helpful, as they offered more than just the cover and synopsis, making it easier to decide whether or not the book truly interested us

Thank you so much for offering this collection of book samples. This is very useful and makes me curious about books I would never have picked up otherwise.

This is such a fantastic resource and a great way to get to know authors I’m unfamiliar with. I especially like the section on debut authors as it always encourages me to buy a book or two that may not have been on my radar. Thank you NetGalley!

I love lists of books and this compilation is very helpful. I liked how the books are separated into different categories. I noted many books I am interested in reading this coming fall and winter, and I will refer back to it as needed. Thanks to NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for the eARC.
