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.

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!

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.

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!
