I love when these come out. There are quite a few books in this one that I have been waiting for release dates on. I'm particularly looking forward to Eric Braeden's book, I used to watch "The Young and the Restless" and can't wait to read his bio.

I really love reading these samplers and this month was no different. I love that the editions are now monthly, instead of bi-annually and the February one has some really exciting releases, even better than the January one. I can't wait to dive into some of these books and some of them I've pre-ordered because the sample made me want to read them so badly! Thank you again.

I have been reading these Buzz book summaries for several years and am excited to see that they will now be coming out monthly. Each preview collection is a helpful mixture of excerpts, summaries and lists of forthcoming titles. The February edition highlights new works by Elan Mastai, Pam Jenoff, Christina Baker Kline, Jeff Giles and Kristin Higgins. I am looking forward to a snowy day and a chance to start reading AND recommending.

I love these Book Buzz ebooks. I am so happy to see them coming monthly now instead of just twice a year. That wait was too long! I love get a piece of a story that I normally wouldn't pick up to read and then after reading the excerpt, realizing I want to read more. It is so easy to request it too because the link is included.at the end of the excerpt..

This is my first 'book' of this sort and I have to say it's very good at finding out new reads for the following months. Will continue with reading these when I have a chance.

This is a great way to get a sneak peek of upcoming books. If you think your TBR lists is too much - think again! This book will have readers adding more books to that never-ending list.

I have been reading these seasonal Buzz book summaries for a few years and love them. I appreciate the variety and sneak peek into upcoming titles so that I can get my orders in before patrons begin requesting titles. I hope that this monthly format does not replace the seasonal buzz preview, though. I make collection decision for our middle graders and teens; in the monthly pub those titles are buried among the adult titles, when they are covered at all. The monthly collections are more manageable, definitely, but I'd love to continue to see separate publications for the young adult titles.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me this book in exchange for an honest review....

I really enjoyed looking through the pages of this monthly publication and seeing all the amazing books that are scheduled for release in February. I especially loved the summary and preview of The Edge of Everything by Jeff Giles. I cannot wait to read this book. It sounds absolutely amazing and thrilling. It is definitely going to the top of my TBR list for 2017.

Happy Reading!

This edition of the Buzz Books Monthly (February) was similar in structure to previous offerings. As such, it featured samples of several upcoming books. I love that this book is available because it is a great way to read the starts of several anticipated releases without having to do the footwork of finding samples and early reviews on your own. February looks to be very promising, as does much of 2017! Usually with these volumes I find at least one book that I feel is a must have, and clearly that is the point. If you are suffering from a book hangover, or just don't know where to start, I highly recommend following Buzz Books in all different genres to find the right book for you.

I love these "almanacs" which give you flavour of what is coming in the month ahead. Also lets you sample writers you may not have heard of and allows access to non fiction subjects, you might not have ordinarily come across.
