Description
Buzz Books 2021 is a treasure-trove of what readers value the most: substantial excerpts from a curated selection of dozens of the most highly-touted books scheduled for publication this fall and winter. Such major bestselling authors as Mitch Albom, Noah Hawley, Natasha Lester, and Richard Osman are featured, along with literary greats Lauren Groff, Ruth Ozeki, Bernard Shlink and. Tiphanie Yanique. Other sure-to-be popular titles are by Patti Callahan, Anna Pitoniak and Shruti Swamy. At the end of most excerpts, you will find a link to the full galley on NetGalley!
Buzz Books has had a particularly stellar track record with highlighting the most talented, exciting debut authors, and this edition is no exception. Ash Davidson’s Damnation Spring, Julia May Jonas’s Vladimir, and Claire Oshetsky’s Chouette are among the literary standouts.
Our nonfiction selections range from Yrsa Daley Ward’s inspirational guide that includes poetry to Gayle Jessup White, a descendant of Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson on reclaiming her family’s legacy. Bestselling expert on the virtues, Ryan Holiday, addresses courage, while iconic naturalist Jane Goodall offers The Book of Hope.
Be sure to look out for Buzz Books 2021: Romance, also out in May, and Buzz Books 2022: Spring/Summer, coming in January 2022.

I absolutely LOVE browsing through this catalog to see what is coming up in the months ahead! The excerpts are such a tease and I can't help but make a list of the upcoming books that I simply will not be able to live without!
Many thanks to Netgalley and Buzz Books for this look into the upcoming months ahead.
I look forward to these for every season! They help add so many books to my to be read list and make sure I don't miss a new release.
I love this Buzz Books 2021: Fall/Winter catalog.
I find so many new authors and familiar ones that have new books coming out in the future. I rely on this and other past ones that I've downloaded have been very helpful in choosing the books I want to read.
Thank you for doing these catalogs and I hope they continue into the future for my reading pleasure.
I look forward to Buzz Books every season -- movie trailers only wish they were this exciting!
Thanks, Pub Lunch for only ever growing my TBR list!

I was so happy to see Buzz Books Fall and Winter catalogue today. I look forward to seeing these to find out what new releases are coming our way, and especially the Fall/Winter one which has all the big releases of the year.
I always look forward to BuzzBooks. These free collections of excerpts and lists are a fantastic way to find books to read by old and new authors. There is always the fun of discovery within. As can be seen from the cover of this title, there is a lot on offer. Among the “and more” are some books that I am really looking forward to reading, including those by Natasha Lester, Patti Callahan and Richard Osman, among others.
I am a big fiction reader but this collection also includes some interesting non-fiction titles. There are some upcoming young adult book excerpts and suggestions as well.
This wonderful resource is free at most on-line bookstores. Get your copy!
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions are my own.

Publishers Lunch is such a great resource, but I've never been able to a get a copy of buzz books before. Already dying to read the new Lauren Groff and Tiphanie Yanique books coming out, and there are many others in this overview that are new to me. Now, to find time to read them. Really appreciate this preview!!

I cannot praise and recommend this seasonal publication enough!
Gail E, Librarian
What a treat! I can't tell you how much I look forward to Buzz Books Samplers! To get a preview of what will become some of hottest titles in a few months is truly a pleasure. The Sampler allows me to catch up with familiar authors and become acquainted with potential new favorites. Thank you!
I love seeing all the new releases coming this Fall/Winter. I see many authors I love on this list and I love being able to read excerpts of other lesser known to me authors. I just requested some books based on this. Thanks Netgalley!

Thank you to NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for this copy of Buzz Books 2021: Fall/Winter.
Having devoured the last edition of Buzz Books I was thrilled to see that a new version was available. I was even more excited when I saw some of the excerpts included. Nowhere else can you find sneak peeks of upcoming releases from authors such as Mitch Albom, Noah Hawley and Lauren Groff. Featuring distinct sections for Fiction, Debut authors, Non-Fiction and Young Adult, there is truly something for everyone in this edition. Big bonus for NetGalley reviewers, you can request a copy from a link at the end of the excerpt without missing a beat! Anyone who loves to read should give this a try. As for me, I will be patiently waiting for the next edition of Buzz Books!
These are a fantastic early insight into upcoming releases, and gives a great overview to popular authors, debut authors, and then within fiction and non fiction. I have screenshot all my most anticipated releases and cannot wait for them! Thanks Publishers Lunch for showing them to us!
I love this sampler because it always introduces me to at least one new unexpected author whose blurb, genre, or cover might ordinarily not have made me pick the book up. This time, two such highlights include the latest Thursday Murder Club book (whose cover made it look too cozy for my tastes, but I love the author’s voice), and a story of two Mafia daughters in Red Hook (I almost never read mob books, but this was such an engrossing character study). Also found several tantalizing new entries in my usual murder mystery/thriller genre including the new Kimberly McCreight novel and Dark Things I Adore (what a title!). Just finished this Buzz Books and already can’t wait for the next one. Thank you, NetGalley!
I really love these buzz books samplers. They always get me so pumped for what's to come. I enjoy that they show both seasoned and debut authors and reading the portion of the featured books helps me plan want I want to request for the coming season.
Emma R, Reviewer
This resource is amazing, thank you so much for providing this! The excerpts, covers and summary really let me dive into each book. This is my first time accessing this resource and I will definitely look for it in the future.

I use the Buzz Books as a valuable resource throughout the slated season and appreciate the time and effort invested, to compile such a comprehensive list. In a time where there are SO many great reads (and so little time to read them all) I use these guides to meticulously curate my TBR list for the upcoming reading season. As a new bookstagrammer, it is even more important to me to choose wisely! Thank you.
This Buzz Book is the perfect way to preview books that are already on my list to read, and to discover new authors. The samples also are a great exposure to new voices, and also new topics and genres.
A great way to add to your TBR list!
April K, Reviewer
I love getting these samplers of books releasing later in the year. I can tell 2021 fall/winter is going to have some amazing releases! The very first sample is of one of my favorite authors, Mitch Albom. Followed by a story that is inspired by one of my favorites of all time. So for me this sampler definitely started out strong. I love how it is divided into sections such as fiction, nonfiction, etcetera. I'm also always pleased when there is a Young Adult selection included. This section also included another favorite author of mine, Rick Riordan. I was very impressed and have so many new books to add to my wishlist! Thanks Netgalley.
Ruth R, Librarian
It's always fun to dive into a chapter or two of books from unfamiliar authors or upcoming books from authors not necessarily in you're radar, especially it you've got "book hangover". This book is packed with fiction and non-fiction chapters from soon-to-be published books. I really enjoyed finding some new-to-me authors and books that slipped past my attention.
Buzz Books 2021: Fall/Winter is a huge collection of excerpts from the most highly anticipated releases for the second half of 2021. I loved learning about new novels and reading samples. Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for providing this great collection.
Another great edition of Buzz Books. Some really good titles to request and new authors for me to explore.
Although non fiction doesn’t interest me very much, the excerpts are interesting to browse.
Thanks again to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I love when these come out. I can't wait to read all of the sneak peaks. and get excited to read and talk about the upcoming books!
Always a great way to get hyped for the next season of reading & have something to look forward to! This is a great resource for my book club as well - it helps me plan what books to choose for our monthly readings!
I look forward to the Buzz Books Catalog every season. There's always a few (okay... a LOT) of books that get added to my TBR whenever I get one. Just from the excerpts I know I have a lot to look forward to later this year. Some highlights from the Fall/Winter 2021 edition -- David Attenborough's The Living Planet; Mary Roach's Fuzz; Neil Bradbury's A Taste for Poison; Robby Krieger's Set the Night on Fire; C. M. Kushins's Beast: John Bonham and the Rise of Led Zeppelin, and novels by Louise Penny, Jo Nesbo, Michael Connelly and so many more... It's gonna be a good year. Thanks as always to NetGalley and Publishers Lunch Buzz Books for making these available!
Natalie L, Reviewer
Always a favorite book, getting me excited about my reading for the next few months. I find it incredibly helpful.
Kim W, Librarian
Buzz Books are the best! I definitely recommend that everyone check these out each time they come out! Getting to sample some of the most promising upcoming books is so helpful and fun to do!
I always enjoy the buzz books! I especially enjoyed the web chat with a few of the authors from these pages.
Abby S, Reviewer

Librarian 525668
What better way to plan for your TBR than this book? I certainly cannot think of one. If you are looking for an all-in-one preview and synopsis of upcoming, must-have books, then this is the book for you. Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced copy.
Reviewer 253943
I love reading each edition of Buzz Books. I always find many (usually too many!) titles to add to my TBR list, and the samples of upcoming publications definitely whets my appetite to read some of the books that will soon be published. These sneak peeks are great. (In this edition, I especially enjoyed the sneak peeks of The Saints of Swallow Hill, Small Things Like These, and Friends Like These, and each of these book is now on my TBR list.) Buzz Books is simply a fantastic resource for upcoming publications, and I look forward to each season's new edition.
Always love the Buzz Books samplers. I can't wait to see all that will be released later in the year!
This book is a sampler of forthcoming novels, and as such was quite a treat to read through. There are some excellent extracts within, although of course not all of them will be for everyone. If you want a sneak peak of some new book, pick up a copy now. Looking forward to reading Richard Osman’s next book.
I enjoy how this book gives an overview of upcoming books and how the sections are broke down in order to find specific genres. Looking forward to reading some of the books reviewed in this book.
Eileen K, Reviewer
This publication has become a personal semi-annual gift. It provides an opportunity for me to sample works from both veteran and debut authors and enables me to list titles to search for in the upcoming months. I have already received my first request! Fall and winter choices are looking good.
Yasmine @, Reviewer
Once again, I just love these Buzz Books (although going through these collections of reading samples definitely do not help my ever-growing TBR pile to stay in a manageable size).
I am very excited for Rick Riordan's new work, which was also featured here so I am utterly happy not to have to wait until Fall for a first introduction to Daughter of the Deep. And all of the upcoming Young Adult books look like they would by exactly my cup of tea so I'll have to keep an eye on sales for those!
Reviewer 338708
I always look forward to each Buzz Book edition. The Fall/Winter 2021 edition is packed with new authors to get to know and some known favorites. I'm already interested in Olga Dies Dreaming (what a title) and The School for Good Mothers. What a fantastic source to find your next great read.
Helen K, Educator
A wide selection of books, and there will be at least one for any reader. I have added several to my wishlist, and look forward to reading them. Recommended preview.
Given me some great ideas for my Wishlist Wednesday and Spotlight Sunday posts for my blog along even more books to add to my want to read lists. Great way to sample a few books without committing to reading the full book.
Reviewer 315097
Incredibly useful resource to inform avid readers about all of the books due out this year. Love the excerpts and links!
I always enjoy Buzz Books edition of upcoming must reads! I've taken their advice in the past and have always enjoyed their recommendations! These new selections sound like great books and I'm looking forward to reading them!!
Thanks Buzz Books for this Fall/Winter 2021 Edition. You never disappoint!!
These collections with excerpts from forthcoming books are excellent. As a fan of historical fiction, I'm especially looking forward to the novels by Natasha Lester, Lauren Groff, Lorena Hughes, and Patti Callahan. As a librarian, I have a head start on books that readers will be wanting to get their hands on. I also definitely appreciate having the books' publicity contacts included.
I always look forward to the biannual Buzz Books editions for the coming seasons. They provide a comprehensive summary of books being published in the subsequent months. They help me add to my “To Read” list and give me something to anticipate in advance.
Judy G S, Librarian
Buzz feedback is an invaluable tool I use to decide whether or not to purchase a book for our library as well as a great way to acquaint myself with new authors.
Jess C, Reviewer
This is a very exciting preview of the great books that are coming out. I perused the young adult selection and I'm very excited for all of them, especially Rick Riordan's new, non-mythology book, as a long time Riordan fan. I'm also very excited for Ayana Gray's Beasts of Prey, which I hadn't heard of before, but now I'm intrigued.
Reviewer 281923
I always look forward to the Buzz Books anthology. It is a comprehensive guide to new fiction and organized so that reader's can easily find books in their wheelhouse. Sectioned according to genre with special designation for new and emerging authors, I always find a host of books to enjoy. Besides having excerpts from slect titles, another advantage of Buzz Books is direct links and sometimes widgets to highlighted works. The only downside is that your TBR is sure to explode.
ILooking forward to when Jonas's Vladimir and Jessup White's Reclamation: Sally Hemings, Thomas Jefferson, and a Descendant's Search for Her Family's Legacy are available for request.
What an amazing trove of titles. This catalog of upcoming books will guide me through the next several seasons of reading. Kudos to Publishers Lunch for compiling this gem.
Hannah Z, Reviewer
I love Buzz books overviews of upcoming publications, because they allow me to plan my reading for the next half year.
I have already discovered that 6 of my favourite authors are releasing exciting new books and I have written down 7 more titles to keep an eye out for from authors I didn't previously know. One book I was on the fence about after reading a few NetGalley reviews, but decided to give it a try after reading the extract included in this buzz books edition. As usual, this buzz books edition has been very helpful.
Many thanks to Publishers Lunch and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I always love these previews for a heads up on new releases. I like getting a little preview of books to help decide whether I might be interested. I appreciate how the titles are broken down by genre. This one edition is just like ones I've seen in the past. They're very useful and well composed.
Linda B, Reviewer
This sampler was an excellent, quick way to identify upcoming titles that fit my tastes. It took less than an hour to peruse the opening chapters and short summary blurb of several dozen upcoming releases and zero in on a couple to request for read/review. It had me checking out new authors and broadening the scope of my reading interests.
