A fantastic way of taking a look at what’s new for the spring and summer . I always enjoy these as it’s a great way to make choices with being able to read excerpts, while I have some of the galleys, it was good to see the ones I missed. I also appreciate being able to request a title at the end of the excerpt.
Thanks so much for makthexs available.

Once again Buzz Books is back with its first issue of 2019! I love being able to read excerpts from upcoming releases. 2019 is shaping up to be a big year for books! Thank you for sharing!
I am excited about the newest Buzz Books! These collections of excerpts are such a great tool for me when planning which books to add to my tbr and feature on my blog. Some of the books featured in this collection were already on my radar such as The Guest Book, Little Darlings, and How Not to Die Alone. I am also now looking at several additional books such as The Girl He Used to Know. It looks like there are some great books hitting the shelves soon.

Do not read this or any of the excerpts of so many exciting new titles due imminently for publication if you do not want to add as many as I have to my ‘to read’ list.
Some titles previously bypassed by me have been given a second glance and now been added to my reading pile..
Such an excellent little publication to help booksellers and book lovers to decide what fantastic books are out there on the radar.
Buzz Books 2019: Spring/Summer has tons of wonderful excerpts to discover new books and authors. I especially enjoyed the debut section!
Wonderful selections! I was already looking forward to Little Darlings and The Long Flight Home but now I have several more books to add to my TBR!
Love the wonderful suggestions from this NetGalley publication.
I wish there were more of them. Love adding to my tbr.

I'm not gonna lie, I've been wondering where the latest Buzz Books was hiding. It feels like eons since the last one came out, and I was starting to worry that there would be no more. But worry no more, the latest Buzz Books is here and it is huge. HUGE. So full of goodies, it feels like Christmas. There were several books that I requested because of the excerpts and even more that I put on lists because...no request link. :( That would be my singular complaint. It felt like there were quite a few that aren't currently requestable. But, I imagine they will be eventually, and now I know to keep my eye out.
As always, I consider Buzz Books a fantastic tool to help carve out my reading plans for the upcoming months. Hopefully the next issue won't be so far off!
Ahh, welcome back Buzz Books! I really missed these issues over the winter period and wondered where they'd gone, so I'm happy they're back with a bang. Once again there is a strong selection of books here, and the excerpts certainly whet your appetite. You can never have too many books in your TBR pile so pick this up for guaranteed additions to your already wildly out of control mountain in the corner!
Many thanks to Publishers Lunch/Buzz Books for my copy.

Excerpts from fiction, fiction debut, and nonfiction titles for books coming out through the Spring/early, early part of Summer 2019. Lots of great titles to look forward to!
Jeanette S, Reviewer
Another great selection of excerpts in this Spring/Summer Buzz Books 2019. There are so many that i hope to read in due course and i would, if i had my way, read the majority of them. The books that i would love to add to my shelf would be 'The Guest Book, The Last Time I saw You, A Nearly Normal Family, The Snakes, Deep River The Confessions of Frannie Langton and The Long Flight Home. There are others that i would also love to read, but all depends on whether i could squeeze another few books on to my ever growing pile of books.
Oh my goodness! There are so many awesome books coming out this year! It's very hard not to hit the request link at the end of each snippet! Okay so I did request a few and wrote quite a few down to look for later on! This is a great way to get exposed to books you normally wouldn't read. This way you get a taste of the way the author writes and if you like it or not.

Katie A, Reviewer
I’ve been anxiously awaiting this so I was so happy to see it available. A fantastic resource for book nerds. I love that we’re given so much information on upcoming releases. My TBR just grew again and I’m not mad about it. Highly recommend for those looking to see what’s coming. I especially love all the fantastic debuts coming.
Another great sampler of upcoming titles. I look forward to reading through these samples, and hopefully finding whole e-galleys of some on the site!
Always look forward to checking out the buzz books. Don't stop - I look forward to an exciting 2019 in literature!
Thanks, NetGalley and Buzz Books 2019 for the Spring/Summer book.
Wow, great idea. Looking forward to many of this. Love being able to see the excerpts from the books also.
A new list is always a great thing. THANK YOU Publishers Lunch.
Great selection of previews in this season’s catalog! I found a few that I knew I wanted to read and a few that I thought I didn’t want to read until I started reading the preview! Thanks for adding some interesting selections to my TBR yet again!
Christina C, Reviewer
I always look forward to this list because it gives you amazing recommendations at a glance. It also gets you excited about the new and upcoming anticipated reads. With this list, I can plug in the dates into my planner, so I don't miss release dates.
Suzanne R, Reviewer
Wonderfully helpful, as usual, in providing a sense of upcoming publications worthy of ‘buzz.’ There’s a new organization and look to this edition and it is quite nice. Regardless of how closely I track publishers information, Buzz Books really provide the inside track. I remain a huge fan.
Another Book Buzz with a great collection of upcoming books! This issue listed several ARC’s that I have (waiting TBR), several more I’ve added to my TBR list and one that I was sadly declined for.
I’d love to see more book covers and excerpts! Mesmerized by the gorgeous cover of “Whisper Man”! Now I can’t wait to get my hands on it.
Thank you to NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for this digital ARC, in exchange for my honest review!

I have to repeat what I have said before, I love Buzz Books! I thoroughly enjoy reading the samples and deciding which I want to read!
Judy G S, Librarian
Buzz books is a very useful tool that enables me to sample books, so I have a head start in deciding what to order for the library.
Clinton G, Reviewer
As always, Buzz Books is chock-a-block full of fantastic reads from valued veterans, newbie debuts, and writers who for one reason or another haven't quite been on my radar. So many gems included in this collection, including a favorite writer of mine, T.C. Boyle.
Linda S, Librarian
Thank you once again for making BUZZ BOOKS available via NetGalley. I really enjoy these summaries of forthcoming books and recommend them to readers who may not be familiar with this service. They offer an opportunity to quickly see which favorite authors have forthcoming books as well as a chance to learn about some debut titles. Both fiction and non-fiction (new books about Yogi Berra, Barbara Bush, and Sandra Day O’Connor, for example) are included. The Spring/Summer 2019 version contains excerpts from 44 talked about Buzz Books such as THE LAGER QUEEN OF MINNESOTA by J. Ryan Stradal and I am particularly looking forward to reading more of Valerie Jarrett’s memoir called FINDING MY VOICE.
Always love reading about upcoming books. It makes me excited to know what books I have to look forward to reading.
Denise K, Reviewer
DANGER! Your TBR list will grow immensely after you read the previews in this title. I could barely contain my excitement about a preview for J. Ryan Stradal's newest title, and then added practically everything else included in this roundup to my to-read list. I look forward to reading more about Valerie Jarrett's time in the Obama White House, as well as the upcoming Lauren Denton!
Casey W, Librarian
I look forward to the Buzz Books each season; such a great way of getting a feel for a book and knowing what's coming out. These are always the perfect tools for readers' advisory!
Jennifer S, Reviewer
AWESOME excerpts from SO many upcoming spring novels that I want to read! Thanks SO much for the sneak peak into all of these fabulous books!!! There are at least 10 books here that I can't wait to read!!!
I love this preview of all the books to come. It’s so great getting a little sneak peak of some of the books I’m most excited about. It’s going to be a great year for reading!!
Erin T, Librarian
I'm no longer working directly with adult purchasing, but these Buzz Books are super helpful talking to patrons at the circulation desk! They give me a quick view of the books many patrons put on hold or want to consider for their book clubs or personal reading.
I loved Buzz Books 2019 Spring/Summer! It provides an excellent list of must read titles coming up. I was particularly happy about the emerging voices and debut authors lists. I also enjoyed reading many of the excerpts that were provided, both fiction and non-fiction. My to be read list has multiplied!
I’m so glad I stumbled across this! I just requested a few after reading the extended excerpts, and added several more to my TBR list!
Great way to know which books to add to my TBR list! Lots to look forward to reading. Thank you Buzz Books and NetGalley.
I really like the Buzz Books and it’s exciting when a new one comes out. I keep a list handy and add numerous titles to my TBR. I also really enjoy the excerpts, as they are such a great way to know if you’ll like a book after reading a chapter or so. Thank you for all the work that goes into creating Buzz Books for readers!
Lou P, Librarian
The Buzz Books always provide plenty of quality recommendations for Net Galley requests and library purchases. Keep 'em coming!!!
ANDREA S, Reviewer
One of my favorite features
Thanks so much for getting me psyched for new reads. I discover new authors and see authors whose books I always look forward to reading.
Alex B, Reviewer
Oh my goodness, I think I ended up adding more than half of these to my TBR list. Great to have excerpts! Can’t wait to read these books.
I loved getting to see the new books coming out this spring/summer. A few books I hadn't thought much about I added to my list to read! I am especially excited for The Last Time I Lied, Little Darlings, In At the Deep End, Red Birds and The Girl He Used to Know as well as many others. I love that you get to read the excerpts right away so I knew already if I enjoyed the writing style before I committed to the entire book. Can't wait for many of these to be released!
Emma M, Reviewer
I really look forward to these collections! I always find so many great titles to add to my TBR and this collection was no exception. There are excerpts from novels and collections that I know many of us are excited for. This will definitely add to that excitement! If you're overwhelmed by the publisher's catalogs and want something that will help you focus on the best of the best, then get your hands on a copy of Buzz Books!
Reviewer 432046
Some of the stories in this book were really intriguing and I've added them to my TBR. However, the length of this volume meant it was a little tricky to pull out which ones I might be interested in. I think it may have been better if it was subdivided by theme perhaps into separate e-books, roughly the size of the Buzz Books YA volume?
Buzz Books 2019: Spring/Summer was the perfect way to preview and get acquainted with upcoming titles! This is a great tool to use as I plan out my reading year. I particularly enjoyed the debut section as a way to scope out new voices.
Fiona C, Reviewer
I love the new cover! And, as always, this collection is filled with tantalising excerpts from some of the years best upcoming novels - general fiction, debut novels, and non-fiction. And also as always, this was very bad for my to-read list; and I loved it.
Kay O, Reviewer
Another great list of reads from this book. I always look forward to getting a sneak peek at these. Didn't disappoint.
Thanks to author,publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free,it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.
Reviewer 345619
There are many excellent titles included here. I have already read a few ARCs and have downloaded a few others. I think everyone will find something they like in this great variety of choices.
Marjolein E, Reviewer
Buzz Books always provide some nice insights into new upcoming books, which I enjoy (even though for my own good, I probably shouldn't because I already have so much to read.
Some very interesting new titles in this latest bunch, looking forward to reading some of them!
