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! |

Great overview - very useful in planning summer reading for my teen-aged daughters. |
It is always a pleasure to be able to read these excerpts and get a glimpse into the following season's releases. I love that you get more than a paragraph to get a feel of the book, and that information and links are given at the end of the excerpts. I love the quality and quantity of books given; as well as the variety of subjects covered in the Buzz Books releases. |
No review, but thanks again for giving us the opportunity to read excerpts and preview books. |
