I look forward to Buzz Books which provide all in one place a snapshot of books to be published and a quick way of requesting or downloading the books. Thanks so much !

2021 is the year of some great books. I love keeping my finger on the pulse of upcoming releases. This collection is great to see what's coming out and a wonderful teaser. If only patience was my virtue.

I love to read the Buzz Books catalog! This is a very useful list of upcoming books. I have used it to add new potential reads on my TBR and Goodreads shelves. Thank you for putting together this resource for readers.

Always love these sneak peeks. I enjoy getting to read a bit of the stories and they always end with me adding at least one to my TBR and wish list. This opportunity allows for me to give the book/author a try before requesting from NetGalley. Goodness knows I need to be selective with all the great books available. This is my chance to try a book on for size, so to speak. I have founds some books I would not have requested by reading this little bits. These Buzz Books are a win/win for me

I always really enjoy these! Thanks to the publishers for providing them. I'm excited to see what is in this one

A fantastic resource for upcoming new releases. I know I added quite a few books to my TBR because of it.

Even if BEA is gone it's nice to still be able to get samples of the new season's buzz books in one place! Thanks to Publishers Lunch and NetGalley for the download.

The Buzz Books by Publishers Lunch is the best way to learn about upcoming publications, whether it's returning authors, debut novels, nonfiction writing, or whatever. As a contributor to a newspaper and blog, I look forward to Buzz Books to help me plan out a review calendar. Thank you, Publishers Lunch, for always being up to date with the latest in the literary world.

I loved these Buzz Books samplers! They offer the perfect snippets into a few of the new books being released this year!

What a great sneak peek! Broken out in sections with beautiful covers, quick preview chapters and info about authors! I can't wait to find so many of these reads!

This is a wonderful compilation of upcoming releases along with previews of a number of the books. Thank you for my copy!! I can't write more because I need to start requesting some books! LOL.

I always look forward to this (free!) publication. It lists so many books that will be coming out over the coming months. Everything is here from debut fiction to literary titles to commercial fiction, non-fiction and more. Plus, there are generous excerpts from a number of upcoming titles. One that I am really looking forward to is Marie Benedict’s novel about the librarian for the Morgan Library.

Read this one with a pad of paper or device close by so that you can jot down the titles that you want to remember.. I guarantee that there will be quite a few.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title. All opinions are my own.

I love this BuzzBook 2021 Spring/Summer catalog. I always find such great future books coming out. I also find a lot of new authors too and familiar and favorite authors are always included.

I've been wondering when the next Buzz Books advert collection would come out, and I am so happy it is here. I love the chance to preview so many of the new and exciting titles on Netgalley.

I love looking at these samplers. There are so many new books coming out and I cannot wait to get my hands on them. I am really looking forward to reading these.

I always love reading excerpts of all the upcoming books. Thank you Buzz Books and NetGalley! Can’t wait to dive in!

I look forward to seeing this every time it is released. I love reading about books that will be soon released, because it helps me stay informed for our customers. Even if they aren't always books I'd personally read, it's nice to have the information to share with others.

I absolutely LOVE it when these previews come out! There are so many good books coming out soon that I had to take notes and write dates on my calendar so I don't request too many at the same time.

Loved this! Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the sneak preview of 2021 Spring/Summer Buzz Books.

I look forward to every Buzz Books’ edition and this one is a treasure trove, filled with enticing new releases. Ah, my TBR pile is growing!

Thanks to the author, Publishers Lunch BUZZ BOOKS, and NetGalley for the ARC, in exchange for my honest review.

This is a nice sampler of upcoming titles,fiction and non-fiction alike. I liked how this was set up.

A preview of the best of the new books for the season and it's FREE!

Fiction is broken down into categories such as Notables (Kazuo Ishiguro's KLARA AND THE SUN, Jhumpa Lahiri's WHEREABOUTS, and Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeny's GOOD COMPANY); Highly Anticipated (Marie Benedict, Victoria Christopher Murray's THE PERSONAL LIBRARIAN, Joshua Henkin's MORNINGSIDE HEIGHTS, and Imbolo Mbue's HOW BEAUTIFUL WE WERE); Emerging Voices; (Will Dean's THE LAST THING TO BURN, Charles Martin's THE LETTER KEEPER, and Flynn Berry's NORTHERN SPY); a very long list of Debut authors; and Commercial Fiction including Linwood Barclay, David Baldacci, Alafair Burke, Harlan Coben, Jean Hanff Korelitz, and Nora Roberts. A whole range of non-fiction categories are included as well as several Young Adult titles.
There are so many enticing new titles and authors in the Spring/Summer edition, that although I tried to be selective, it remains to be seen whether I was successful. I've requested a number of titles already!

First introduced for the 2012 Book Expo America, the FREE digital Publishers Lunch Buzz Books has become the place for both industry professionals and book lovers in general to discover and read about the books expected to spark high demand BEFORE they are published!

What's really great is that after many selections, you have the option to follow a link and request the complete galley copy from Net Galley if you qualify as a 'professional' reader.

Check out Buzz Books on Amazon. Did I mention it's FREE!

I just love this idea! You get to read exerts from many different books to see if.you will like them. Most of the stories have a request link at the end and I will admit I clicked on many of them. So many good novels coming out! I requested quite a few, wished for one and added some to my TBR pile! The best thing about Book Buzz is that I am exposed to books I normally wouldn't even look at and that expands my comfort zone. I love finding new authors and am usually pleasantly surprised when I request a book from Book Buzz that is outside my normal genre and wind up loving the book!

I always love the Buzz Books guide. I spent the afternoon going through each new upcoming book and read several of the excerpts. There’s a lot of great books coming out!!

I eagerly awaited this 2021 Buzz Books sampler to be released to plan my summer reading. There are some great books being released this year and I love being able to read a sample of some of them and see what I want to read.

So many great books to look forward to reading. I love Buzz Books and the insight it provides into upcoming titles.

so many gems in here!! I always look forward to reading through these excerpts and figuring out what books I'd like to request or put on my TBR for the future.

Buzz Books is always such a brilliant resource for upcoming releases. I love all the wonderful previews and it's great to see what's coming out and when. 2021 looks like it's going to be an amazing year in the book world and now, thanks to this catalogue, I've already added quite a few books onto my TBR!

Buzz Books is a guide to all of the hot fresh releases coming out next season. I used to faithfully request it but my TBR grew way out of control. Now that I have gotten my feedback ratio over 80% I feel like I can test my shelf control.

Unfortunately, I was not able to request all of them. <i>(Adulting over here. Trying desperately not to fall down into that TBR hole.)</i> But the little girl in me who loves books could not help but to mark some down for pre-order and library requests.

I love such a detailed sampler with chapter teasers and insights on the author and publisher to boot. It's amazing how many books one can look forward to this year.

Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.

I love reading these to get a sense of what is coming in the next months of publishing. It is such a nice tool since I don't regularly have time to keep up with each new publisher. Plus I get to find some publishers that I have never heard about.

I loved looking through this collection of works in anticipation of the upcoming months. There were some books that were already on my radar and some that I will be for sure checking out closer to their publication dates.

This was my first time looking at a NetGalley Buzz Books, and it was super helpful. I love the excerpts which help give a feel for the books - will definitely be helpful in purchasing items!

This is my first time downloading Buzz Books & I love it! Great to have a list of upcoming books to add to my TBR list. Appreciated getting to read excerpts from the books to get a flavor for the author and the book. Also, helps to expand my horizons by finding books I typically would not have chosen for myself!

It was like Christmas morning - I couldn't wait to read about the upcoming 2021 releases. I was literally going back and forth from my Kindle app to my Goodreads app adding books to my "Want To Read" list. My poor husband is going to have to build more bookshelves for me! I was especially excited about Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray's new release The Personal Librarian from the fiction category. I have enjoyed Benedict's other novels, but this one is especially exciting as it features a woman of color. In the debut novel category, The Love Songs of W.E.B DuBois was immediately placed on my want to read list. W.E.B. DuBois is one of my favorite writers, thinkers, all. of. the. things. I am looking forward to seeing how the author, Honoree Fanonne Jeffers tackles the topic of the "double consciousness" which is a reality for many African Americans today. Overall, I'm excited to see what 2021 reading will bring. Thank you Netgalley!

There are so many amazing books publishing soon from authors I've enjoyed before as well as those publishing debut novels. I liked being able to look through the early chapters of each of them and look forward to reading the books in full. Many of theses are on my TBR now!
I appreciate the early look at these titles.

I always get so excited every time I see a new Buzz Books! I know it’s going to give me lots of great reads to add to my tbr for the coming months and this issue was no exception. I hope there’s a new Buzz Books Romance coming soon too!!

Such a treat as always to have the opportunity to read excerpts of upcoming books, and then to request the whole thing!
Thank you to netgalley and publishers lunch for an advance copy of this book

I always love these so much, I never like all the books but I do find ones that I would love to have. I am always excited for these when they come out, and that it's a free read.

A great way to see and get excited about upcoming books! I enjoyed reading through the excerpts and learning more about what’s to come.

I love the sneak peak preview of upcoming books. Many of the titles I had already requested. I like how you can request and even in some cases read the galleys. It's been quite awhile since I perused through a catalog so it was fun to see a few titles I was not aware, especially in fiction and memoirs.

What a perfect intro to upcoming books for the Spring and Summer of 2021! With both known and unknown authors the summaries and excerpts of the books give the reader a lead-in to the book and characters that is tantalizing! I myself found several that immediately had me requesting a full galley of the book while still making a list of the others that I needed to keep my eyes open for future reading. I encourage this sneak-peak for readers who like to know what to look forward to! I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you to NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for the opportunity. #NetGalley #BuzzBooks2021SpringSummer

Love reading these each season. So many great books on my to-be-read shelf. Great!!!

Thanks to 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.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I love this opportunity to read excerpts of new works from cutting edge authors to help determine my upcoming reading experiences. It is a privilege!

This was very useful for helping me decide what to add, and what not to add, to my wish list. I’ve never bothered to download these preview compilations before, but I will in the future. I received a free copy of this book from the publisher.

I was not aware of Buzz Books until I came across it on one of my facebook feeds. This is like holy grail for booknerds!!

I was excited to see so many new books coming out from my favorite authors! I like how its separated by fiction, non fiction, highly anticpated, YA sections. Super easy to navigate and read the excerpts. I have marked many to be added to my tbr pile of request!

Thank you Netgalley!

Wow!! This includes a lot of great book choices. The excerpts have made me excited to read the full books when they release. I plan on requesting a lot of these on NetGalley. Thank you so much to Buzz Books for providing me with excerpts from these fascinating future book releases!!

I look forward to the Buzz Books every year! What a great way of finding out about new titles I wouldn't have heard about otherwise. I always find something that I want to read and something that has a lot of buzz that just isn't for me.

How can I not love another way to find MORE books that I want to read. This is my go to book when I'm waiting somewhere but feel like reading a novel would be too distracting. It's a great way to window shop for upcoming books. Thanks to Publishers Lunch BUZZ BOOKS and NetGalley for this ARC.

Buzz Books 2021: Spring/Summer is a huge collection of excerpts from the most highly anticipated releases for the first half of 2021. I loved learning about new novels and reading samples. Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for providing this great collection.
