Excellent titles. Adding several of these to my TBR.

I love when I see a new Buzz Bucks is available! I get so excited! I get exposed to stories that I wouldn't normally pick up. I love that!! Anyway, I requested way too many, wrote quite a few down to look for, and I am happy happy happy.

A great look at some upcoming books. I requested The One Memory of Flora Banks because it looks really good. It's fun seeing the wide range of books getting released because I might not have known about them otherwise.

There are some amazing new YA books coming out this spring and summer, and this was an amazing look at whats to come. The excerpts published are so intriguing I cannot wait to get my hands on almost all of these books. This spring/summer will have some amazing new bestsellers.

These books sounded great and I can't wait to read them!

I am always so excited to dive into a new BuzzBooks to learn about upcoming releases and this one certainly didn't disappoint

This book has a great selection of excerpts. I plan to add several of these books to my TBR and feature others on my blog.

Great selections! Nice variety- looking forward to many of the titles!

I always look forward to this book and preorder several upcoming novels.

I always jump on these as soon as they are here. I always find something I have overlooked . Don't miss out on these because your next favorite book is waiting!

Spring and Summer 2017 is going to be an amazing season of books that will be coming out. I can't wait to pick up a majority of these titles to read either by the pool or on vacation. So many great titles that I didn't know about and a few hidden gems. I love being able to get a sneak peek at the upcoming titles and there was many I didn't know about as well and many I was shocked that I actually end up liking. This is the perfect sampler to read because as a reader/blogger I need to know what is new and exciting and all these titles are just that.

So many of these look so good! I'll be requesting a bunch - thanks for the preview!

This is a really great collection of books, very interesting.

This included a ton of books I hadn't heard of yet, so getting to sample those was very helpful. I've added a lot to my TBR list now.

A wonderful selection to think about! Cannot wait to tell my granddaughter, who I know will be eager to read several of the books mentioned in this Buzz Book.

Great excerpts with a fantastic mix of genres and themes! Can;t wait to see these titles on the shelves particularly, ROAR and Dividing Eden!

I love the Buzz Books collection from Publishers Lunch – there is always a wonderfully diverse collection of upcoming releases, in this instance for the young adult and middle grade market. Although this particular collection didn’t hold as many books that piqued my interest as the previous two collections I’ve read, I know that many people will benefit from getting a sneak peek at some forthcoming novels.

My can’t wait for books:

1. Flame in the Mist by Renee Ahdieh

2. Piper Perish by Kayla Cagan

3. Roar by Cora Carmack. This could be wonderful or terrible, I’m hoping for the former.

4. The Black Witch by Laurie Forest

5. Definitions of Indefinable Things by Whitney Taylor

Read: January 15th 2017

3/5 stars

I love these Buzz Books samplers. I was excited to see there was a new one. I thought some of the samples in this one were shorter than usual. But I was glad to see several popular, highly anticipated upcoming books included as well as some I hadn't heard about yet. My TBR list kept growing as I worked my way through the book.

I love getting the heads-up about upcoming YA books from Buzz Books

I love them gems! They show me reads I probably would never have known of.

My favourite release as it lets you sample all the upcoming books and decide what you actually want to read. After I read an extract from a book I'd previously overlooked I immediately requested it on NetGalley.
Great tool!

Very informative. I love having the descriptions for all the newest books in one place.

So many amazing books are being released this year. I'm most excited about THE FLAME IN THE MIST by Renee Ahdieh and THE BLACK WITCH by Laurie Forest.

I really liked Buzz Books 2017: Young Adult. I do not usually read a lot of YA-genred books, but there were quite a few in this compilation that looked interesting:

-Flame in the Mist by Renee Ahdieh
-Roar by Cora Carmack
-Dividing Eden by Joelle Charbonneau
-Geekerella by Ashley Poston

I will definitely be keeping an eye out for these upcoming releases. Thank you NetGalley for the heads up!

These excerpts are amazing. Which one of these books am I most excited for? I have no idea. I can't wait for them to be published.

Wonderful choices!
I really enjoy getting the samples from the books, giving me a chance to get a bit of an understanding what books i want to pick up right away and which one might not be for me after all because the sample was not as i wanted it to be (or the opposite made me so curious about the book that i can not WAIT to be able to pick it up and read it!)

As nicely done as always!

Buzz Books 2017: Young Adult Spring/Summer selection once again does not disappoint. Filled with a broad range of pre-publication excerpts there's really something for any YA reader to discover genre wise and new authors to meet. I a fan of MG titles, so it was nice to their inclusion here as well. A great addition to any librarian's and reviewer's repertoire.

Buzz Books 2017: Young Adult Spring/Summer is the latest in the preview collection filled with a dozen and a half excerpts from authors representing a variety of publishers (Albert Whitman, Amberjack, Chronicle, Hachette, Harlequin, HarperCollins, Houghton Harcourt Mifflin, Macmillan, Penguin Random House and Quirk Books). For my high school students, I am most interested in seeing a copy of Sara Zarr's new GEM & DIXIE, about two sisters and their dysfunctional family (starred review from Booklist), and am intrigued by Emily Barr's young adult debut, THE ONE MEMORY OF FLORA BANKS.

Another interesting list of books. This time YA ones. I have to say that it has quite a few interesting titles which I can recommend to people.

I just loved to read various excerpts of new upcoming books. Specially the ones that I knew almost or nothing about.
It gives you, this book, a really good expectation for what is to come and what we should order.
I still haven't posted this comment in anywhere eslse but here, but I will do on Goodreads and probably on Twitter.

This YA Spring/Summer edition of Buzz Books shows that we have some great YA books to look forward to this year! I've already had the pleasure to read The One Memory by Emily Barr, which is in one word BRILLIANT. Other titles that stood out for me after reading the previews were Flame In The Mist by Renee Ahdieh, Future Threat by Elizabeth Briggs, Roar by Cora Carmack, This Is Really Happening by Erin Chack, How To Be A Supervillian by Michael Fry and Rebels Like Us by Liz Reinhardt. What a great selection of promising stories from a variety of different genres!

What a fantastic way to quickly and easily read sneak previews of up coming books! I will definitely be looking out for some of these books when they are released!

This is an awesome collection of upcoming releases! The previews definitely helped peak my interest in a bunch of the upcoming releases. Lets just say that I am definitely adding a lot of these books onto my TBR.

These samplers are the perfect way to cull your over the top TBR pile. You get a taste of what is coming and then can make a request to get more. I recommend this to any reader who has a bigger stack of books than they can get through.

It has good excerpts of upcoming books. Although some books I ended up not liking, the excerpts of it were still good

As usual, I love it! The synopsis are always very useful, and it's always a nice surprise to find the link to the full novel.

Buzz books are just like a box of chocolates, you open it and you can smell the wonderful aroma and they all look so good that you don't know which one to pick. My advice: pick them all. All the excerpts in this 2017 Young Adult Spring /Summer novel will appeal to many types of readers. There's fantasy, love, hatred, fights, and even comics.
If I had to choose one to start with, I would choose Rebels Like Us by Liz Reinhardt. In this novel the author deals with the unthinkable idea of a segregated prom in a rural community and a girl who has to face the fact that being half black is still a problem in some parts of her country.

Find incredible titles here! I highly recommend if you have doubts about your next reading :)

I really enjoy Buzz Books and look forward to each edition.

I love these Buzz Books because they let me know which books to be on the lookout for in the coming months. The summaries and excerpts allow the reader to get insight into which books they want to read.

The following books interest me and I will be trying to request the following titles: Flame in the Mist by Renée Ahdieh , The One Memory of Flora Banks by Emily Barr, Roar by Cora Carmack, Dividing Eden by Joelle Charbonneau, Laugh Out Loud by James Patterson & Chris Grabenstein, Geekerella by Ashley Poston, and Rebels Like Us by Liz Reinhardt.

Overall, this was a good edition and I really enjoyed learning more about all of the books featured.

I had never heard of or had read any of the Buzz Books before but was intrigued by the link on the main page of NetGalley and so took a look. The young adult titles in this volume were very a very diverse mix. I am glad to have picked up a copy. I particularly loved the formatting of blurbs, excerpts, and then more technical information. One of the best things about being a reader are all of the recommendations I receive from sources like NetGalley and Buzz Books. It definitely helps expand my reading horizons. Looking forward to reading more of these.

The Buzz Books 2017: Young Adult Spring/Summer was a great sampling of many books that are anticipated for release in the coming months. Each excerpt is approximately a chapter, with some being much longer. In particular, the excerpts I enjoyed the most included Roar by Cora Carmack, Spirit Quest by Jennifer Frick-Ruppert, Geekerella by Ashley Poston, The End of our Story by Meg Haston, and Flame in the Mist by Renee Ahdieh.

Renee Ahdieh is one of my favorite writers thanks to her duology The Wrath and the Dawn, so naturally I was incredibly excited to see her new book excerpt as the FIRST excerpt in the book. The Flame in the Mist is set in Japan and opens with a back story involving samurai, followed by a first chapter that highlights a journey of a young woman on her way to an arranged marriage. The setting is detailed, dark and atmospheric. I cannot wait to read the rest of it!

The second big winner for me is Roar by Cora Carmack. I have never read any of her numerous previous works, however I have heard her name several times before. I did not know what to expect, and far as I'm aware, this is her first fantasy genre book. Aside from the cover being absolutely stunning, the story itself engages you right away. We get a taste of the heaviness of Aurora's character, the crossroads that she is standing upon, the weight of her family duty, and the uniquely interesting world of magic and storms that threatens the lives of her people. If for only this sample, the whole Buzz Books 2017 was worth reading. I look forward to picking up several of these books this year!

I always enjoy the chance to read a Buzz Books book as it allows me to read excerpts of many books being published in the coming months, helping me to decide which ones I want to put on my reading list. As expected, this book of excerpts showed me several books that I'd like to read.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for enabling me to read this edition of Buzz Books!

This has made me very excited for the books coming out in 2017....Looking forward to the majority of them especially Flame in the Mist and Laugh Out Loud!

I'm excited for a lot of these! Great previews. I will definitely add these to my TBR list!

This is great, this was the first time I grabbed one of these books and I will be grabbing more. Has so many excerpts and has made me very excited about upcoming releases. This is great way to stay informed and find out what is going to come up next. Love this!

Very helpful for reviewers like myself to get a good idea of what's coming out in the next few months!

Thank you to NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for providing a digital copy in return for an honest and unbiased review.

This edition of Buzz Books gives samples of 18 upcoming spring/fall release YA books. Each sample contains a picture of the cover and a brief summary of the book. The sampling includes both established authors and debut. It would be nice if the samples were arranged more by genre, making it easier to dive right into your specific book interest. However, there are only 18 samples so it is not difficult to navigate to find titles that appeal to you. I highly recommend the Buzz Books 2017 YA edition, It's always fun to get a sneak peek at what is on the horizon.

Wonderful preview of upcoming books! I cannot wait.

This is a great reference! It gives enough of a sample of the books to truly get an understanding of what they're about and I appreciate the publishing information at the end
