Buzz Books 2017: Fall/Winter

As always I'm forever thankful for the staffs who launched this e-galley.

Love the selections!! Great variety-I can't wait!!!

Little Fires Everything, We're Going to Need More Wine, Stay With Me. There is so much this has to offer. These excerpt are fantastic. Looking forward to reading the full versions!

Like opening a big present, there are so many amazing choices you simply know your reading list is growing by the minute as you read each preview! Thank you to NetGalley and Buzz Books for putting together such great new titles in one place. I'm especially excited about Sourdough by Robin Sloan, We're Going to Need More Wine by Gabrielle Union, Love is Not Enough by Mark Manson, Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng, The Immoralists by Chloe Benjamin, and The Last Suppers by Mandy Mikulencak.

Thanks for the sneak peek! I was completely unaware of every single one of these books, so there were a lot of pleasant surprises. I can't wait to read the full version of Celeste Ng's new book.

Helpful summaries and excerpts of books to look forward to.

So many great works coming up. The snippets are great for most and I look forward to digging into some of these titles soon

Great way to see what's coming in the next few months. I greatly prefer this format to the monthly. Thanks!

Great! Plenty of new authors to try as well as highlighting new ones by favourites such as Jeffrey Eugenides and Isabelle Allende.

Thank you to all the people who put this publication together!
It's a fabulous way to stay up-to-date on all things books; whether it be upcoming titles from authors I love or a little intro to some debut authors I can look forward to!

Super useful as always👍, I can't wait for these releases, most look so good❤

While I love the monthly Buzz Books, these seasonal glimpses into what is coming out are my favorite. Some were already on my radar (Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng, and Genuine Fraud by E. Lockhart), but some I hadn't heard of and am now eagerly anticipating (when can I request The Inner Lives of Animals?!?!?). It is clear that there is a lot to look forward to after summer!

Thanks again, Buzz Books, for introducing me to a whole new batch of books to covet until pub day! FUTURE HOME OF THE LIVING GOD by Louise Erdrich; THE IMMORTALISTS by Chloe Benjamin; I'LL STAY by Karen Day; THE CHILD FINDER by Rene Denfeld; THE TWELVE-MILE STRAIGHT by Eleanor Henderson; THE ROAD TO BITTERSWEET by Donna Everhart; HANNA WHO FELL FROM THE SKY by Christopher Meades - they all look so good!

Wow, wow, wow......there are so many awesome books coming out in fall and winter!! I ran to this Buzz Books as soon as I saw it was available!! I love the way you are exposed to a bit of a book you might not normally request or even pick up! I requested way too many and was delighted to see that many I had been invited to download. I am going to be very busy reading!!

Another great collection of forthcoming books to look forward to!!! As wonderful as ever to be gifted a glimpse into and knowledge of what sound like some tasty reads!!!

I love these Buzz Books previews! I discovered two books that I want to read, and realized that one book I had thought might be good was not one I wanted. Also, it gives me a chance to sample author's that I might never have read. Thanks Publishers Lunch, and Netgalley!

This is the first Buzz Books preview that I have requested and it will definitely not be the last! What a fantastic way to get readers excited about upcoming releases! I am already obsessed with a couple of titles after reading their excerpts, and can't wait to read them. The links at the end of the excerpt are also much appreciated. My TBR list went from insane to impossible and I couldn't be happier!

Great compilation of books that build interest and excitement in readers about what's coming up. It definitely reaches its goal of creating "buzz". I like that it's divided into the 3 categories and has excerpts of each book. I read excerpts that I wouldn't otherwise have an interest in.

My favorites are Sourdough and Little Fires Everywhere. I'm definitely putting these on my wish list.

I absolutely love these books because they give me a feel for upcoming books and my to read list always grows by a ton! There are so many books coming out that sound so good and are so beautifully written and I can't wait for the fall to get here to read these!

Keeps you up to date with forecoming books.
Gives you an insight into different variety of books for autumn and winter offering a variety of titles from different catogories of books.
Each book has an extract so youget the gist of what you will read throughtout the book offers a wide selection of books from adult general fiction to home cooking.

Thanks for this sampler, I always enjoy checking out the newest "hot" books for the upcoming season. Thanks for the opportunity :)

Such an exciting collection of soon-to-be published titles. A little bit for everybody and definitely some titles I'm very excited about now!

Buzz Books 2017: Fall/Winter

35138828

Without Buzz Books, I wouldn’t know of all these glorious titles heading our way! Get your lists fired up friends!

What a list of forthcoming books. How I didn’t know Amy Tan has a memoir out on October 17, 2017 is beyond me. I am highly anticipating it!

34043618.jpg

Janet Fitch, author of White Oleander has a new novel coming out, and I say Finally! I have been waiting and am excited. The Revolution of Marina M.

34523120

For fans of Isabel Allende, a moving love story will be out October 31, 2017 In The Midst Of Winter

34623118

It’s an exciting fall/winter with the best authors! Louise Erdich’s novel Future Home of the Living God will be out November 14, 2017

34217599.jpg

The Ninth Hour by Alice McDermott is forthcoming September 19, 2017

33931059.jpg

Of course Alice Hoffman’s prequel to her beloved Practical Magic is out October and I have already read the arc, giving it full stars. I felt down coming towards the ending, I didn’t want to leave The Owens’ family, I had so missed the magic! A picture of the cover can’t do it justice, it is one of the prettiest I’ve seen in years. Much cover love. I will post my review closer to the release date per the publisher’s request.

34037113

Chloe Benjamin, the author of The Anatomy of Dreams has The Immortalists out January 9, 2018- I have been waiting somewhat impatiently for approval for this arc. The few people who’ve read it raved about the forthcoming story of siblings that are privy, early on, to the date of their deaths. Intriguing.

cover110765-medium.png

Jennifer Egan’s Manhatten Beach takes the reader to Brooklyn during the Great Depression. I am currently reviewing an arc and it’s moving, beautifully atmospheric and I know it will be enjoyed by many. It is certainly haunting and another novel I won’t be posting for awhile. I feel like a hoarder when I am able to get my book wormy hands on such wonderful fiction before others, because damn if I don’t love to gush about the good books and share the love.

34467031.jpg

I adored The Education of Dixie Dupree by Donna Everhart, and I am so excited that she has written a new novel that sounds just as beautiful. The Road to Bittersweet will be out December 26, 2017. This is another arc on my highly anticipating list. With sweet covers and lovely titles it always seems as though the reading would be light, but not a chance. Don’t be fooled into thinking pretty covers mean breezy reads.

34853146.jpg

My curiosity is piqued about The Lost Girls of Camp Forevermore by Kim Fu. Young girls at a sleep-away camp stranded without adults, help, guidance and what happens in the years that follow?

33413874.jpg

Pulitzer Prize winning author Jeffrey Eugenides, yes I am a fan, will have his first collection of short fiction coming out October 3, 2017. Those few people who already read it- I’m so jealous! Though this book is towards the end of my list, he needs no promoting from me, so I think I’m forgiven.

33844793.jpg

One that is sure to cause some discomfort, and yet I know so many of my fellow readers have already added to their list is All We Shall Know by Donal Ryan. ‘Martin Toppy is the son of a famous Traveller and the father of my unborn child. He’s seventeen, I’m thirty-three. I was his teacher. I’d have killed myself by now if I was brave enough. I don’t think it would hurt the baby. His little heart would stop with mine. He wouldn’t feel himself leaving one world of darkness for another, his spirit untangling itself from me.’ That shared from Goodreads, oh my!

29752909.jpg



Is it just me or are covers getting so much more beautiful. Ode to physical books, because regardless of the ebooks I get, I somehow always hunt down physical copies. I can’t resist. I may die buried in a pile of dusty books one day, but I will have a smile on my face.

It’s going to be a great year in reading. I love the sneaky peaks Buzz Books gives us!

Great resource as always for the budding reader! I'm looking forward to the Fall/Winter reading season to check out these books! I'm very hyped.

A really exciting collection - it's done nothing good for my ever-increasing "To read" stack, but I am really looking forward to ploughing my way through some of these! The overall quality of this selection was incredibly enticing.

I love when this come out every month, I find so many great books to put on my want to read list.

I look forward to these Buzz Books samplers every year because I always discover some hidden gems this way. This year's edition was no different. I've already requested full galleys of several titles, and have read a couple. Keep up the great work!

I look forward to reading the Buzz Books each season for a preview of what's to come. It sure helps me to narrow down my "must-reads" for the next few months!

I love books. I love book reviews. I browsed (devoured) this book about books and made a list (another book list of many!) of which books caught my eye. It was great that it was broken up into sections, so I could fast-forward through the categories that didn't appeal to me. Thank you for a wonderful resource and I look forward to happy hours reading!

Great excerpts, something for everyone. It makes it so much easier with the links to request whatever you fancy on NetGalley too. Excellent!

2017 looks like there are going to be a lot of great books coming out which is fantastic!

I love these Buzz Books - I always end up adding at least several books to my ever-growing TBR list! There are quite a few book coming out within the next few months that I am especially excited about, and quite a few of them are available to request on NetGalley (this ebook also makes it incredibly easy to request these books if they are available).

Some books I am especially looking forward to:
- Salman Rushdie's The Golden House (no excerpt)
- David Lagercrantz's The Girl Who Takes An Eye For An Eye (no excerpt)
- Gabrielle Zevin's Young Jane Young (no excerpt)
- Chloe Benjamin's The Immortalists (excerpt included!)
- Celeste Ng's Little Fires Everywhere (excerpt included!)
- K Arsenault Rivera's The Tiger's Daughter (excerpt included!)
- Amy Tan's Where the Past Begins: A Writer's Memoir (excerpt included!)

Thank you for putting this compilation together and for getting me excited about all of these upcoming books!

This was the first time I read through a title like this and I am amazed at the upcoming publications. I just cannot wait to read many of these titles!

I always love finding out what books are coming down the pipeline. I hadn't heard of any of the books featured in this edition. I am looking forward to reading The Immortalists, We're Going to Need More Wine and Little Fires Everywhere.

Buzz Books, you've done it again! My "To Be Read" list is blowing up--and I love it! There are several titles that I am really anxious to get my hands on. Thank you to Publishers Lunch and NetGalley for making these wonderful previews available.

Really glad these are a thing. I love being able to get a taste of all the good stuff coming out so I know better what to try to request!

I absolutely love perusing for new books and the Buzz Books series is the best place to get any reader or reviewer started on what is going to on our shelves soon.

A wonderful collection! There are so many that I would love to read and can see my purse being a lot lighter soon. I couldn't tell you which books that stood out as being 'a must read', as there were so many that appealed to me.

Review posted on Amazon.

More of the same, excellent excerpts of some really interesting books. Rely on Buzz Books for a good part of my reading choices.

Yay! I love these previews! I'm super excited for The Woman in the Window!

Perusing the latest Buzz Books offerings is nearly as good as strolling the aisles of BookExpo! I love these seasonal samplers and the opportunity that they give me to dip into works by favorite authors like Louise Erdrich (Future Home of the Living God) and Amy Tan (Where the Past Begins: A Writer’s Memoir) and to be introduced to new-to-me writers like Donna Everhart (The Road to Bittersweet); Sarah Miller (Caroline); Bradford Morrow (The Prague Sonata); Celeste Ng (Little Fires Everywhere); and Ayobami Adelbayo (Stay With Me). I also appreciate being able to request NetGalley versions of some of the books included here. I'm looking forward to reading and helping to build buzz for these titles!

This collection includes really helpful excerpts from many buzzed about novels. I can't wait to read some of them on NetGalley and in print, once they are released.

Great to have this information~thanks to "Publishers Lunch" :)

Buzz books is a great way to sample upcoming books and sample what you may be interested. 16 Debut Novels, among dozens of others from authors who already one or more books released. Besides telling the plot of upcoming fiction, I appreciate the preview samplers so I can test whether the writing fits me or not before plunging in. Divided into Part One: Fiction; Part Two: Debut Fiction; Part Three: Non-Fiction. They also have a YA Line that is released each year. Both of these are free Read Now Features on Netgalley.

I'm really excited about these Fall 2017 selections! I was lucky enough to get to read and review a galley of Celeste Ng's Little Fires Everywhere, and I think it's an exceptionally good novel. I loved it. I also love two of the nonfiction books: The Kings of Big Springs and Life Detonated. I couldn't step away while reading those excerpts, and I look forward to reading the complete version of each book. They are both well written and compelling in my view as a reader and writing professor. Thanks so much for sharing! I love the Buzz Books excerpts.

so beneficial to anyone who needs to cull their tbr pile or who recommends upcoming titles to others.

This has to be one of the best books I have ever been lucky enough to find! For a cable cutter who is a slightly obsessive reader, this was like receiving the most perfect gift ever. I now have a list of over 20 books that I might never have known existed if not for Buzz Books and I cannot wait to go past the 'teaser' chapters and find out what happens next to all the amazing characters I have met. Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to find new authors and new books.

I always recommend the Buzz Books, which provide readers with excerpts from the coming season's most anticipated books. Once again, my reading appetite is whetted for these new titles. Thanks to Netgalley for the e-copy I received of Buzz Books 2017: Fall/Winter.

I just love Buzz Books and really look forward to the big seasonal volumes like this one for Fall/Winter. So much incredible information at our fingertips. Usually I don't know where to begin, but now I started highlighting with my own little color coding system within each genre indicating which ones are my first picks then their publish date. The excerpts that are in the book are already starred * for you, (so cool) so just use your color to match with that star. Works for me. Give it a try or develop your own! Just start reading; so much to look forward to, I can't name them all! Thanks Publishers Lunch, Buzz Books, and Netgalley.

Thank you for putting this together! I loved looking through it and getting excited for fall releases.

Buzz Books 2017: Fall/Winter is a fantastic preview of forthcoming titles. I found quite a few books I can hardly wait to read, with A. J. Finn's The Woman in the Window and Donna Everhart's The Road to Bittersweet topping the list.

I highly recommend this book for discovering new authors! I look forward to it every year!

I'm so glad that I read this. I have added at least six new books to me TBR list. I'm very excited to read these and can't wait for the next addition of Buzz Books.

An excellent way to discover new and upcoming books and authors. Thank you!

This is always such a great way to find out the upcoming books for next season! It really is a comprehensive collection.

Thanks to Netgalley,publishers and various contributing authors for this book. I am always on the lookout for books to read and excerpts. This book had helped me with that. There are so many good books and new authors, I'm never sure where to start. My local bookstore also thanks you as now I won't be monopolizing their coffee book copy ! Loving it !

As usual, a nice variety and a great way to find new books to read and review.

The Buzz Books are a real help each season and this one was especially so. I really enjoy reading through the excerpts and getting a sense of the upcoming books.

A really good and comprehensive look at everything coming our way for Fall and Winter of 2017.

Rathr than run through hours of research, this has everything I need to make future reading decisions.

I think I will take a run at the YA selections now. Time to branch out of my comfort zone.

An interesting and intriguing selection of books - it's good to be able to read excerpts so I can figure out which books might become new favourites.

Only one comment - there's a lot of thrillers and some challenging subject matter here. I'd really love to see some more light-hearted offerings in the mix.

Thank you to the wonderful contributors who put this together, so helpful and exciting!

These samplers are so cool! I'm very intrigued by Mental and I'm looking forward to reading it this fall.

This was great! Found a few books I'd love to review, and hopefully I'll get the chance.

A very useful resource! It's great to have lots of excerpts in one place. This has made me particularly excited for Sourdough, Autonomous, and the Immortalists.

A really good taster of the books that are coming out! Wouldn't have seen half of them were it not for this sampler! Definitely excited to read some of them!

Love these buzz books and getting an early look at the offerings coming up. Thanks for taking the time to put them together !

A fascinating sample of forthcoming fiction and non-fiction. A great selection., with lots to look forward to.

Fantastic as always.. I love getting these "sneak peeks" at upcoming titles -- I always find at least a handful to add to my ever-growing "TBR" list! A nice mix of genres and authors both familiar and new. I never miss a new edition of Book Buzz!

I love these Buzz Books samplers, There are always several books that I end up adding to my wishlist after going thru the various selections. Keep them coming!

A most helpful guide to forthcoming books in the fall. I especially enjoyed the excerpts with the book from Gabrielle Union being a highly anticipated read. Also Celete Ng's novel looks like it will be a fall favorite for readers. Thanks Netgalley for making this buzz available.

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for a honest review. I've found so many books I must read!!

Wow! So many great books coming up this year. I am particularly looking forward to Louise Erdich's new book! Thanks so much to Publishers Lunch for providing me with a copy of BUZZBOOKS 2017

I have already downloaded one story. I have also requested several others. Some of these stories were unknown to me before reading the excerpts.

J.T. Ellison's newest looks amazing & I'm intrigued by The Girl on the Velvet Swing & Sarah Bailey's The Dark Lake.

I look forward to every Buzz Books release, they're always packed with variety and allow me to plan my reading months in advance. Everyone should read these!

Very helpful for looking at upcoming books, the excerpts are the perfect length to get an idea of a book before committing to reading it.

Very much interested in the Child Finder by Renne Denfield, the Woman in the Window by A.J. Finn and the Prague Sonata by Bradford Morrow.
Also tempted by Seven Days of Us by Francesca Hornak and Good Me Bad Me by Ali Land, but am holding off requesting for a little while.

Very excited about the Fall Winter book publishing world! Can't wait to get these beauties in my hands!

Great way to see upcoming titles and get a sneak peek at the books. I've found a few books that are going to my TBR list and I'll be on the look out to read them when they are published.

How is it that I have barely given these a second glance before now?! I am kicking myself!! This issue is bursting at the seams with so many wonderful upcoming releases. I love the that the covers are included, as well as lengthly experts, and some even have "request now" links.

As soon as I've made a dent in my summer reading list, I will not only be adding quite a few to my tbr, but if there is an option, requesting them as well! Thank you so much NetGalley, being a serious tbr planner, this tool is exactly what I need!

I love these compilations from Buzz Books. It is a very simple premise but it is brilliantly executed. Instead of just publishing a list of soon to be published books, you get the first chapter or an excerpt. It is a sort of bundled Kindle sample. But the clever part is that there are old favourites to draw you in, like JT Ellison and Celeste Ng, but there are also debut authors that you might not otherwise discover and then there's non-fiction that you wouldn't find on your own. Some excellent stuff here and I am particularly looking forward to reading Amy Tan's memoir having enjoyed the teaser.

Excellent - I'm hosting a podcast this evening to discuss books we are anticipating for the second half of the year - got some good ideas! Thanks

Thank your for the special opportunity to preview publications for later this year. It is another one of the special gifts NetGalley provides its members. We are blessed!

Love the idea of being able to get a sneak peak at some new releases coming up.

Looks like a great season ahead. Lots of great reads to look forward to so excited. Will almost make Winter worthwhile this year. Thank you x

This was not my favorite edition of Buzz Books, but as always, I still found it to be a valuable resource in anticipated read excerpts. I was especially looking forward to the Celeste Ng book excerpt, and found several others that caught my attention for the fall and winter as well. Thank you for providing this copy! I look forward to each edition of Buzz Books.

As always, the seasonal previews are exciting, informational and a pleasure to read. It is fun to know what's forthcoming from authors and making sure I keep adding to my 'need to read ' list.

I always look forward to these sneak peeks. The books that most interested me were The Dark Lake by Sarah Bailey, The Woman in the Window by A.J. Finn, Good Me, Bad Me, by Ali Land, and Seven Days of Us be Francesca Hornak.

Another great selection of samplers from a mixture of genres

I love when I get a new Buzz Book to read. Thank you, NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for always hooking me up with these previews. This time around the books I most look forward to reading are Good Me Bad Me by Ali Land and Caroline by Sarah Miller (OMG A LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE BOOK?! YAYAYAY!)

I love Buzz Books by Publisher's Lunch! They are a wonderful compilation of excerpts of books for the upcoming season and they give me a chance to see what's on the "buzz" list, sample new authors, and see new offerings from favorite authors. They also give me a chance to decide what I want to read in the upcoming months.

Always a pleasure!! Many thanks to NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for making this compilation available to me.

Fall/Winter Buzz books had SO many titles that I have not yet heard of and MANY of them I can't wait to read!!! Thank you so much for the opportunity to preview so many upcoming books!!!

Good list of all upcoming autumn and winter books - can't wait for them!!!!

I absolutely loved the wide variety of previews in this sampler. I haven't heard of most of the books in here and now I can't wait until Fall and Winter so I can get my grubby hands on some of these!

Lots of great new reads in the next couple of months! Thanks for compiling them for us to preview!

This has become the most valuable resource in planning reviews for my blog. If you read and review books, download this one!

I highly recommend that all NetGalley users pick this Guide up because it not only helps you as a reviewer, but as a reader.
Now, I am on the lookout for way more books than I had been before!

I love Buzz Books because it's a risk-free way to try books I usually shy away from. Even though I usually avoid scary reads The Blind by A.F. Brady is just my thing - a psychological suspense written by a licensed, honest-to-goodness psychotherapist. Sold!

great way to stay up to date on forthcoming titles.

I am so excited for a few of the books! I really appreciate the staff who puts these amazing guides together for us.

Buzz Books: Fall/Winter 2017
By Publishers Lunch from NetGalley
Exclusive excepts from 40 books yet to be published

These Buzz Books are such a wonderful teaser to Books you want to add to your TBR bookshelf. Just enough of an excerpt to grab your interest.

Here are some of the books I found interesting. The books are arranged under their genre as they are in the book.

Biographies/Memoirs
We Are Going to Need More Wine by Gabrielle Union (November 2017). A touching look into the life of a person who will achieve fame and success. It's a reminder that not all celebrities are born but raised with determination to overcome the hardest obstacles.

Where the Past Begins by Amy Tan
The author provides a thoughtful reflection on her life as a writer. Originally focusing on her artistic talents, she realizes it does not provide "an unexpected reckoning of my soul." She describes her Chinese American heritage and its influence on her writing. An eloquently written memoir by a memorable author.

Fiction
The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin
(2018)
Varya is the oldest of the four Gold children in 1969. She is 13 years old when she takes her siblings to seek advice from a "rishika" or seer about their future.

Future Home of the Living God by Louise Erdrich
(November 2017)
The author of The Round House, writes another touching novel about the struggles of a young pregnant woman. Four months pregnant, Cedar Hawk Songmaker is desperate to find her birth mother, Mary Potts, an Ojibwe American Indian living on the reservation.

Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng
(September 2017)
The Richardson family watch as firefighters extinguish the fire engulfing their home. Everyone was accounted for except for the youngest daughter, Izzy. Who was responsible for setting the fires? Was it Izzy who was rumored to be a "lunatic" or were they overlooking the timely departure of renters who left that morning?

Another wonderful installment in the Buzz Books series from Publishers Lunch. I rely on these editions to guide me to up-and-coming authors and new books from some of my favorite authors and add to my reading list this fall. This Fall/Winter 2017 edition offered a great selection of titles and excerpts which stood me in good stead at BookExpo. I was able to obtain advance copies of many of my favorite selections from this book.

You don't have to be in the publishing industry to access this book — it's available as a free e-book on Amazon, and can help any avid reader learn more about high profile books coming out this fall.

Based on the excerpts in Buzz Books, these were the standout books I’m most excited about reading:

* The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin
* Future Home of the Living God by Louise Erdrich
* Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng
* Caroline by Sarah Miller
* Sourdough by Robin Sloan
* The World of Tomorrow by Brendan Matthews
* The Woman in the Window by AJ Finn
* The Dark Lake by Sarah Bailey
* The Child Finder by Rene Denfield
* Radio Free Vermont by Bill McKibben
* Seven Days of Us by Francesca Hornak
* Happiness by Heather Harpham
* The Spectrum of Hope by Gayatri Devi
* Love is Not Enough by Mark Manson

As expected, a great collection of upcoming books, that made my TBR significantly bigger.

Fantastic information on all new releases. Thank you for all who put this together. Looking forward to The Immortalists and The Twelve Mile Straight. Again many thanks.

Another great variety of upcoming titles. I am looking forward to many of these!

As always I enjoy getting these previews from NetGalley. I found a few books that I can't wait to read and pass along my recommendations to others!

5★
Want to know what’s making a noise in publishing? Check out the Buzz Books editions when they’re released. Heaps of excerpts from fiction by established authors to debut fiction as well as plenty of non-fiction selections.

Each piece has an introduction with a summary or publisher’s blurb with a basic description of the book followed by the excerpt itself, which can be anything from a few pages to a lengthy chapter. The better you’re hooked, the more likely you are to look for it, of course! Some have a direct link to NetGalley to which you can connect from a Kindle to make a request, although I find it a lot easier to do online.

There were several books that appealed to me, and many have been reviewed on Goodreads already. I'll leave you to find the blurbs there. Here are a couple by established authors.

I’m looking forward to The Child Finder by Rene Denfeld. We watch Naomi begin her search.

” Naomi always began by learning to love the world where the child went missing. It was like carefully unraveling a twisted ball of yarn . . . each missing place was a portal.”

And I can see why Celeste Ng's new Little Fires Everywhere is getting a lot of attention.

Another that looks like fun is Robin Sloan’s Sourdough. Sloan wrote one that many readers loved, including me, Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore, (which I reviewed https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1544737663).

Then there is the debut fiction offering. Many looked good – here are a few I will look for. Stay with Me by Ayobami Adebayo has already been nominated for the Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction in the UK, so I’ve added that to my reading list.

A.F. Brady's book The Blind looks intriguing. A psychologist who treats patients nobody else will deal with comes up against a mysterious case, and it looks like gets pretty scary. Gary, who is assigned as her partner, reckons he will get this uncooperative, non-talking, ex-con mental patient to confide in him because he's going to "talk to him like a man." Says it's not rocket science, but Sam wouldn't understand because she's not a man. Looks to me like Gary's riding for a fall.

And I liked the introductory chapter to The Woman in the Window by A.J. Finn, which begins with a woman watching across the street as a wife welcomes a contractor into her house and into her bedroom after her husband leaves for work. The woman pervs on them a while and then sees the husband return home for something he’s forgotten. But like a good nature photographer (or journalist?) she can’t interfere, just observe. She goes back and forth as the deceitful couple disrobe, piece by piece, and as the husband gets closer to the front door, step by step . . .

And I can’t resist Bill McKibben's debut novel Radio Free Vermont: A Fable of Resistance. Bill is widely known for his non-fiction environmental books and articles and his founding of 350.org. I think his first fiction is going to fit in nicely and may attract a whole new audience.

The opening chapter has local activists arranging the detour of a Coors beer truck so they can temporarily hijack it and swap the “imported” beer with local brews to promote local goods. Mind you, they’ve made the driver a lovely picnic lunch to keep him happy while they let down his tires so he can’t drive off while they empty all the Coors bottles.

”’Hey lady This is going to take forever—I’ve got twelve hundred cartons in the truck. Why don’t you just toss them over the side and let me go?’

The woman looked up at him from above a draining carton of beer. 'This is Vermont. We RECYCLE.’

Then they pump up his tires again and off he goes to New York with the microbrew on board!

Sounds like my kind of book.

There are many non-fiction selections, and one that could be interesting is Amy Tan’s Where the Past Begins: A Writer's Memoir. I’ve enjoyed some of her novels, and I’m aware that her Chinese heritage has played a big part in her upbringing and life.

She begins by saying she was recognised as an especially talented artist in her youth. Although very accurate at portraying likenesses and drawing things, she had no imagination, according to her art teacher! But she was so good, a piano teacher offered her free piano lessons in exchange for teaching his daughter to draw.

She was insulted (who wouldn’t be?) by her art teacher’s criticism, but when she discovered her talent for writing, the light dawned. She certainly does have imagination, and it shows in her writing in ways she couldn’t express herself with her drawing. It promises to be an interesting book.

Thanks to NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for the preview copy from which I’ve quoted. It’s still available on NetGalley as I write this. [My Goodreads review includes the current covers of the books I've mentioned.]

Really nice written book on up-coming new releases and title this fall. Helps plan my fall reading list and must read titles!

Looking forward to Fall 2017 reading!! So many great books on the list, and I'm particularly looking forward to debut authors.

Brilliant! Helps to define exactly which books I want to read/request.

Brilliant way to get a taste of some exciting new books.Especially interested in 'The Child Finder' and 'The Road to Bittersweet'

The 2017 Fall/Winter edition of Buzz Books is my favorite one yet. I found a ton of new authors to check out and the excerpts were phenomenal. There are some truly talented writers out there waiting to be discovered and Buzz Books helps you do just that. There are so many books out there in the world but I guarantee you will find at least one that you want to devour in any edition of Buzz Books.

I love getting a sneak peak of what books are on the horizon!

Found multiple books I cannot wait to read, thank you!

An excellent round up of upcoming titles. Buzz Books is always a valuable resource for book reviewers

Reading this was so much fun! Established authors and new debuts, along with a category for non-fiction. So many great reads coming up. My "have to read" list is overflowing!

There are so many amazing books coming out this year! I am so excited to read all of them. Thank you for the preview!

Great summaries of some upcoming books. I'm looking forward to reading a few of them!

Thank you I always enjoy receiving this with great length excerpts and the possibility of reading the whole book

This sampler is awesome. It's a fantastic way to see what's coming up and get a small taste of the writing to see if it's something I'd like.

This is a great collection of excerpts of upcoming, highly-anticipated books for Fall/Winter 2017.

The book contains an introduction followed by a section with a list of fiction books noted "The Notables", "Highly Anticipated", "Emerging Voices", "Debut Fiction", "Commercial Fiction", and Nonfiction. After that there is a list of BuzzBooks authors that appeared at BookExpo followed by book excepts by publishers. Each book excerpt contains the book cover, summary of the book, the excerpt, and information about the author.

I particularly enjoyed the excerpts for THE DARK LAKE by Sarah Bailey and ROSIE COLORED GLASSES by Brianna Wolfson.

Overall, a great list of buzzing titles for Fall/Winter 2017.

As always, I love these seasonal samplers of upcoming books!

This is a great way to find up and coming new books from all your favourite authors as well as giving you a chance to find new authors

I love these "Buzz Books"! The only complaint I have is that they make my "to-read" list so much longer. I found 12 new books to add!

Always an amazing source of upcoming works. Especially useful when looking for debut authors. Thanks!!!

Loving this edition of Buzz Books! I found some I'll be sure to read the full version of and order when they come out.

Very excited for these upcoming fall books! Thanks for the preview.

I have added so many titles to my TBR list after going through this!

Awesome books! Loved The Immortalist and Little Fires Everywhere excerpts.

This is a great tool for booksellers! As it's virtually impossible to read everything, It can be overwhelming to make choices. This guide helped me narrow down my search, as well as familiarize myself with upcoming releases I might not be able to read in their entirety but that I'd like to be able to recommend.

What a great idea. Buzz Books 2017 had some interesting novels, and I found several great books to add to my TBR!

As always, this a great compilation of books to be released. There are so many I would be interested in reading that I might never have known about otherwise. Thank you for this collection. I'm sure I will be requesting quite a few.

A great way to quickly get acquainted with upcoming books.

Amazing selection of books, can't wait to get my hands of them once they are released!

Always such a great way to get to know future reads!

Another great compilation of upcoming releases. Thank you for making this available!

This is such an amazing resource, I love samplers they help me find books that I wouldn't typically find on my own.

One stop to find all the upcoming releases and be ready for them in advance!! Loved reading the excerpts and has helped to pick the ones I would be reading soon. Thanks!

With 40 excerpts that include established authors like Louise Erdrich and Celeste Ng, debut authors and non-fiction, I am looking forward to finding my next fall favorites!

Really like getting extracts of new books - often you can already decide after the first chapter if it is a book you are likely to like or not.

Insightful!! I love these Buzz Books!! You gain so much information on the newest books coming out & gives you something to look forward to in the coming months!!

So many tasty treats! have got tons of these added to my kindle wish list already - what are you doing to me, Netgalley? :)

Great way to learn what books are on the horizon and to plan your reading list accordingly.

Find time to sit down and read the 40 excerpts of fiction and nonfiction. I was excited about the book on Norway as it is not something I've seen. In fact this title is first of a trilogy! I also was fascinated about the nonfiction book titled Radium women. It's about an expose of working women who were posioned by radium paint in the 1920s. I could go on about each book but will leave it for you to discover titles you will want to read!

This is my favorite book that tells me about books that I might not know about. My reading list keeps getting longer as does my pile of books I have to read! I just can't stop reading Buzz books -- it even helps me to recommend books to friends and the book club I belong to.

Thanks again for the excerpts! The Immortalists and The Woman in the Window are the two books that stood out from the rest.

I always really enjoy these little snipets of works to come! Amazing if you want to know what will come out soon

Great stories that sounded brilliant. Will definitely be reading some

It was a great book to read to find out what upcoming releases I should get excited about!

What a great idea this is. Not all books I wanted to try were available for my country but still a great quick way to find something new to try.

I love getting to preview a lot of upcoming titles -- both to talk about them with library patrons and to decide what I want to read myself! As a librarian, I don't have time to read every new release but patrons like to talk to me about them anyway, and these samplers make me more conversant on a number of different titles.

So many different books coming soon! Buzz Books is simply the best. Thank you, Publishers Lunch for making it easy for me.

Fantastic roundup of all the autumn books. It was a great taster of things to come.

I love getting Buzz Books and keeping up with new novels and books coming out during that season. A librarian's delight for reader's advisories and book clubs.

Thanks for putting this together. Great compilation of upcoming books. I always appreciate these. I love that you include excerpts of a selections of books. I'm very excited for "Stay With Me" to come out!

Thank you for Buzz Book's catalogue Fall/Winter 2017.
A great way to look forward to great reads. I specially appreciate passages of upcoming fiction and non fiction.

Wow! If this Buzz Books edition is any indication, there are a number of GREAT books coming this fall/winter! There’s bound to be something for everyone within these pages. I know my bookshelf is going to be sagging with all of the new editions I'm planning on adding. Of the 40 excerpts (yes, you read that right . . . 40!), these 12 caught my eye:

Fiction:
I’ll Stay - Karen Day
The Child Finder - Rene Denfeld
Lie to Me - J.T. Ellison
Hannah We Fell From The Sky - Christopher Meades
Little Fires Everywhere - Celeste Ng
The Black Painting - Neil Olson

Debut Fiction:
The Dark Lake - Sarah Bailey
Second Acts - Teri Emory
The Woman in the Window - A.J. Finn: I CAN’T WAIT! This might just be one of my most anticipated reads of the Fall!!
The Girlfriend - Michelle Frances
Good Me, Bad Me - by Ali Land

Nonfiction
Life Detonated - Kathleen Murray Moran

A little too heavy on commercial fiction for my tastes, though I'm very interested to check out Little Fires Everywhere and Sourdough (speaking of tastes).

The perfect book to keep by your bedside table to read an essay from before you go to sleep. With both fiction and nonfiction, the choices are varied. I haven't even read them all yet but the ones I have read, I have loved. Louise Erdrich: Divine, as always. Amy Tan: Getting a glimpse into her origins, both engaging and surprisingly funny. Gabrielle Union: Raw and real and beautiful.

Buzz Books provides a great resource for new titles each season. This compilation wasn't as enticing to me as previous offerings, but there are still some titles worth reading.

Books to check out:

THE FUTURE HOME OF THE LIVING GOD by Louise Erdrich
There are a lot of apocalyptic novels out there, but what about a premise where evolution starts to move backwards. That's right. No meteor or blackout, but think of the ramifications of a human race that becomes less able to invent, create, write, problem-solve. Scared? I woke up with nightmares after reading the excerpt.

HANNA WHO FELL FROM THE SKY by Christopher Meades
On a commune amongst 14 brothers and sisters, four mothers and the watchful eye of a drunken father, Hanna is about to turn 18. She will be betrothed to a man twice her age, his fifth wife. Can Hanna escape the only world she knows? Does she want to?

LITTLE FIRES EVERYWHERE by Celeste Ng
After Celeste Ng's brilliant debut EVERYTHING I NEVER TOLD YOU, I'd read her interpretation of the phone book if she released it. This one is definitely on my to-read list.

SOURDOUGH by Robin Sloan
Author of MR. PENUMBRA'S 24 BOOK STORE does it again with a quirky tale of a San Francisco engineer turned baker who discovers the dark side of the farmers market circuit.

Books worth investigating further:

SEVEN DAYS OF US by Francesca Hornak
MENTAL: LITHIUM, LOVE, AND LOSING MY MIND by Jaime Lowe
THE INNER LIFE OF ANIMALS by Peter Wohlleben

This is an excellent resource. I like the different indices available so that one can look up a book according to author or publisher. Using this handy collection I found two books that I wanted to read, and I requested them from Net Galley and received them. There are three more here that I haven't seen offered yet, but have written them down and will continue to watch.
If I could, I would love to see it organized according to who will be allowed access--i.e., which books can a blogger stand a chance of reading in advance--but this is a reach, and may be outside the scope of what Buzz Books seeks to achieve.
Thank you for the advance copy.

A good selection of new releases to look forward to this Autumn.

I am loving all these selections and excerpts! I can't wait to read some of these in the next few months.!

Great previews for future titles. I love finding out what books to look out for!

This was my first Buzz Book and I'm really glad I read it. I ended up adding quite a few books to my TBR shelf.

I know quite early if a book will be a good fit for me. Having a summary and approximately 50-100 pages of an excerpt to read gave me a good feel for each book.

I like the season editions as it gives a bigger selection of what is coming out in the following months.
All in all great for readers. The summary and excerpts are helpful in finding more books to read!

It looks like Fall/Winter is going to be a great season filled with many awesome reads!

Thank you Netgalley and Publishers Lunch!

What a wonderful compilation of book titles! There is something offered for every type of reader. As a blogger and bibliophile these Buzz Books are a Godsend. Bring on the cold weather so I can get cozy with these upcoming reads!

Brilliant! I love these reviews - being able to read a chapter means that I can really see what a book will be like. Have picked up some of my new favourite books as a result of reading a preview in one of these reviews.

There are some great books in here that I can't wait to read.

I'm so glad that I discovered these through Net Galley. Thanks to all the publishers and authors for sharing excerpts of their upcoming novels. There are a TON of great ones coming out soon!

I don't care how long it snows, I know I am set for books. I love everything Amy Tan has ever written so I was excited to learn she has another memoir coming out. Looking forward to finishing the next Eugenides book too.

Buzz books is a book lovers must! I love looking out for all the new reads I can sink my teeth into.

Thanks for the opportunity to sample so many titles.

A great overview of the new seasons upcoming releases.

I highly recommend the Buzz Books catalog to booksellers and library professionals. It includes excerpts from some of the most excited new books coming out each season. Between the excerpts and the summaries the catalog provides, booksellers can get a very good picture of a book with enough detail and experience to hand sell it--without having to take the time to read the entire ARC (which can sometimes be difficult if a publication is upcoming.) I assisted with a "Fall Books Buzz" event at my branch library and used the Buzz Books catalog to recommend and generate interest for some of the excerpts I read and really liked.

Fantastic variety and different books from different genres that there is always something there for everyone!

I always enjoy these books and use them to compile my seasonal reading lists. I have added several books from this preview to my book and will be reading them and blogging about them. Thank you Buzz and NetGalley!

Some of my favorite authors are in this book which contains release dates of their new books. The books I'm interested in reading are The Child Finder by Rene Denfeld; The Twelve-Mile Straight by Eleanor Henderson; Stay with Me by Ayobami Adebayo; The Girl Friend by Michelle Frances. These are some of the books I can't wait to read. This is an excellent book list of forthcoming titles.

Love the collection of books included in this wonderful smorgasboard of literacy!

Love reading these as it’s a nice taster to what’s coming

I really enjoy reading every issue of Buzz Books because every time I find many interesting books to add to my TBR. In this edition of Buzz Books 2017 : Fall/Winter i discovered books that had heard and after reading an excerpt from it I added it immediately to my TBR. I also found books that I didn't know but I look forward to learn more about them and read them.

My go-to source for new books. I truly appreciate the recommendations and the availability of excerpts. It definitely makes book ordering easier.

I love these advance reading lists and look forward to them as they come out.

I am still exploring the riches in the Fall/Winter 2017 Buzz Books. I paused in reading the samples to grab several titles and read them immediately--that would be Little Fires Everywhere and The Prague Sonata. My second dip into the collection resulted in Caroline and Stay with Me being added to my TBR. I look forward to each new Buzz Book and refer back to it throughout the season. It keeps me busy until the next installment comes out.

I love this type of books, they are a great collection of excerpts from upcoming 2017 fall/winter releases. They include around one chapter of many upcoming titles. Whenever I read this I fell as if I work at a bookstore and I am getting one of the catalogs. It just warms my heart. Loved them.

Love Buzz books and all the effort that is put into it every time. I'll stay by Karen day has gone on my list. Whenever I'm looking for a new book I look for Buzz books first to give me great recommendations.

Tidbits on the falls book releases. I love these guides bc it keeps you informed on what’s out there and what I would love to purchase!

Several books to watch for in categories I enjoy.
Karen Day: I'll Stay
Rene Denfeld: The Child Finder
Louise Erdrich; Future Home of the Living God
Celeste Ng: Little Fires Everywhere

All books I look forward to reading.

Excitedly looking forward to this. Thanks for putting it together.

This document contains some useful information. Some of the books that sound interesting: Her Body and Other Parties, Little Fires Everywhere or a new book by Robin Sloan.

Am really looking forward to a number of these upcoming novels.

I absolutely love these guides. They help me tremendously in planning out my upcoming reads.
