I loved receiving this Buzz Book 2016 - it really helped me decide what titles needed to be on my TBR list and it helped me inform my audience about many exciting new releases. My audience is always thrilled to see what new books are coming out.
The Buzz Books editions are a great way to read book excerpts and also get excited about upcoming books!
Very useful to get a glimpse at what's coming up! I never thought of reviewing before it but I noticed it was still on my "give feedback" shelf... So I'm obviously late to the party, but I always enjoy those pre-publication excerpts!
This title was helpful in examining titles and making selections for our library. We appreciated the overviews; the short sampling and the variety of titles offered.
An exciting and valuable look at the books publishers were excited about in 2016. I always enjoy seeing these offered and find them useful in finding out which books will be pushed by publishers and will garner attention from readers.
Wonderful! Great chance to try out some new stories and find new authors. These books full of excerpts are one of the best things about NetGalley!
The Buzz Books publication is always a great way to add titles to my "to-read" pile & get inspired to read more new releases. I am always more focused on the YA titles and every year I try to read more adult & non-fiction works. I usually end up picking up new YA releases. The Buzz Books collection always helps me with finding some adult titles to read and get inspired to do so.
An excellent way of finding new books for the college ... especially the staff
Well, after I downloaded a couple of these sampler-fiction books, I realized quickly that I don't like to read little samples of books! Whoops!
A preview sampler of upcoming reads, so not a lot to review here!
It is always nice to get an idea of what is coming up but very hard to write a review on a bunch of samples!
Honestly these samplers shouldn't count against you percentage on netgalley!
This is a great way to see what is coming soon. I love getting this book every season
I don't know if I was in a weird mood while reading these samples or what, but I didn't care for most of them. Usually I love these samplers, but this season just didn't do it for me. The only book in this that I would even consider continuing is My Best Friend's Excorsism. I did find the sample of that intriguing, even though it had a slow start.
The Buzz Books are great for seeing what's coming up! I hope there will be one for 2018.
This is a compilation of buzz for upcoming books, not really able to review.
There are so many great books soon-to-be-published that I'd better start fundraising now.
Great excerpts in this one! I am especially excited to read the Karma Brown and Kathleen Grissom ones when released!
These Buzz Book collections are an absolutely brilliant way to help readers discover the must read titles for the coming year or season, and are a brilliant resource for reviewers.
Sometimes a book sounds amazing, but upon open the book, the reader discovers it isn't for them. This does, of course, happen in the opposite direction, too, and a reader might stumble upon their next favourite read thanks to these collections.
I don't think I will ever not love the Buzz Books collections!
