I really enjoyed this sampler and would like to thank NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for it! It's organized really well and includes some good samples. I mainly read young adult, so I was really excited to see the young adult section, which features some really exciting books. I'm especially excited for Sabaa Tahir's new book - All My Rage.

I LOVE the fiction excerpts. I have already requested and been approved for two books: Nora goes Off script and Remarkably Bright Creatures. I usually dont request any nonfiction but I may take a look.

Thank you for these suggestions!

Thank you for granting my wish. I love seeing the buzzing upcoming books! This makes it so easy to choose what to add to our collections.

Always my favorite part of the changing seasons- love discovering new books and authors! I get so excited to read excerpts of upcoming books, especially because many times they arent books I'd normally seek out.

I always look forward to these excerpts every year and this year did not disappoint. I came across quite a few titles I wasn’t originally interested in but now I’m hooked at excited for their release. Favorite were Finding Jupiter and By the Book. Also enjoyed and keeping an eye out for Iona Iverson’s Rules for Commuting and This Time Tomorrow. Thanks NetGalley and the Publishers for the early excerpts.

I am really enjoying this sampler! I can't wait to read upcoming authors with their debut novels! I love discovering something for myself that I fight myself whether or not I should share it with others because it's like a precious thing. Thanks to NetGalley and the Publishers for the excerpts!

I absolutely adore buzz books. What an easy and enjoyable way to learn about titles that will be coming out over the coming months. Just some of the more well-known authors included are Geraldine Brooks, Karen Jay Fowler, Jane Green, Chris Pavone, Emma Straub and Marianne Wiggins.

There is also a section for debut novels. A few intriguing sounding titles: A Tiny Upward Shove, Keya Das’s Second Act, These Impossible Things and, Calling for a Blanket Dance. Or, how about Nora Goes Off Script or Jameela Green Ruins Everything.

Non-fiction fans can also find much to read here as will those who like young adult fiction. An example of each would be Blood Orange Night (non-fiction) and How to be the Best Third Wheel (young adult).

As if that were not enough, there are book lists, lots of them. Yay! Some authors that I noted were Jennifer Egan, Julia Glass,Emily St John Mandel, Anne Tyler, Dan Chaon, Monica Ali, Marie Myung-Ok Lee, and Otessa Mosfegh.

I could go on but, really, readers should just take a look.

Many, many thanks to NetGalley and the publishers. Brilliant! All opinions are my own.

As always - a new issue of Buzz Books blows up my tbr in the best way possible!! This has become one of my most anticipated reads and I always download as soon as I see it and read immediately - putting in Netgalley requests and adding to my goodreads tbr. Thanks Buzz Books - can’t wait for the next romance edition!!

As a book blogger, I love this and appreciate the opportunity to check out what books are to come. This is a brilliant way to plan what you want to review and read for the second quarter of the year.

Thank you to Net Galley for Buzz Books 2022: Spring/Summer!
This is the absolutely best resource for up coming releases. I always take note of the recommendations and I love the section on debut authors. My to read stack just grew. Even if I don't get around to reading all of them, I can at least read a bit and know the style and plot.
This is such a great tool. Thank you!1

Thank you to NetGalley for this amazing excerpt collection of soon-to-be-released books. This feels like winning the lottery of books! I just added more than a dozen books to my TBR list. Some of my favorite authors are releasing books this year and there are some debuts that are absolutely stunning. I need to quit my job and start reading full-time😂

Love these Buzz Books! Every time I see a new one is available I quickly click the button and read it right away. I love being exposed to books I wouldn't normally even glance at. I love how you get to read a bit of the story to see if it's something you would like. Most of the previews have a link you can click on to request a copy!

It's always such a treat to read one of the buzz books publications - exciting to read excerpts of upcoming novels and which topics are hot at the moment!
Thank you to netgalley and publishers lunch for an advance copy of this book

I look forward to this compendium of new books. Love going through it and reading previews.

Thank you!

Perfect fuel for a book addict

Buzz Books 2022 announces the upcoming books for Spring/Summer 2022.

This book was even better than my paid Book Riots New Release Index! It even has links directly to NetGalley so that you can put in your request to receive the ARC.

So what little jewels did I discover? So glad you asked.
The Secret Life of Albert Entwistle by Matt Cain
Things They Lost by Okwiri Oduor
When We Were Bright and Beautiful by Jillian Medoff
The Lioness by Chris Bohjalian
Love Marriage by Monica Ali
The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager

These Buzz Books samplers are always a highlight for me! I just love being able to get a sense of the writing style of multiple authors all in one place to decide which ones I want to get more of! Thank you so much for putting these together!!!

Buzz Books 2022: Spring/Summer is a huge collection of excerpts from some of the most highly anticipated releases. I loved learning about new novels and reading samples. These always give me ideas for what ARCs I want to request in the coming months. Most of the samples are fiction and I especially loved the debut section. There aren't a lot of titles for nonfiction, but I'd love to see a sampler dedicated to nonfiction. Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for providing this great collection.

Thank you Publishers Lunch and NetGalley for randomly selecting me to receive this preview of spring/summer 2022 books. I have rituals involving tea and a special notebook when I read through what's coming. As a book reviews editor and a reviewer, I appreciate how the preview's introduction breaks down the Notables, Debut Fiction, Commercial Fiction, and Nonfiction (within its various subcategories). And then I appreciate the excerpts and their links to NetGalley. Bravo.

I absolutely love Buzz Books, and the Spring Summary Edition is as exceptional as always. I get so excited when a new edition comes in. I love that the Fiction is broken into different groups and it’s easy to check out all the new books and authors. There is also a Non Fiction section that I really appreciate since it lists so many different types of Non Fiction to review. There has been so much happening globally and locally that I like to read many of these books.

So, my TBR list grew a lot more, but I’m not complaining at all. Then there are excerpts of great Fiction, Non Fiction, and Young Adult Books that I was directly able to link with a NetGalley Request. Hope I get to read many of these fascinating books.

Buzz Books is just the easiest and best way to find the newest authors, books, stories, journalism. I spend hours checking out all the books, but later come back to this edition to look for books all through the Spring and Summer.

This will definitely keep me happy for many months.

Thank you NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for granting a copy of this fantastic guide to new stories.

Why do I do this to myself?? This book noting what books are publishing by genre and citing publishers and release dates is incredible. I read several favorite authors who have new books coming this year and audibly gasp with excitement!! It’s reminds me of my good ol’ childhood days when the holiday Sears Catalogue came in the mail and I would sit and circle and circle and circle toy after toy. Fast forward 40 years and same thing - circling books. It’s just the best. Thanks for the copy. I look forward to this so much!

This was the fifth Buzz Books that I’ve read since 2019; however, I missed both 2021 editions so I was a little nervous that the format may have changed. Fortunately, the only thing that changed was that the Kindle edition didn’t have page numbers. Otherwise the book was comprised of a list of books to be published from roughly March 2022 through August 2022, which was followed by hours of excerpts from select books on the list. In total, this edition was estimated at five and a quarter hours reading time.

In the lists of books, I found several fiction books to look up in Goodreads for further details. First was the new Geraldine Brooks novel, Horse, which appealed to me because I love Geraldine Brooks as a writer. A Coin for the Ferryman by Meghan Edwards was another, as I had been on and off with the description of this book in NetGalley. Book Lovers by Emily Henry was already on my to be read list because I had also seen it on NetGalley, although I do disagree with its classification as commercial fiction rather than romance. I looked up The Seamstress of New Orleans by Diane McPhail because I am always intrigued by New Orleans as a book setting. Finally, I looked up the latest Alison Weir, but decided against adding it to my to be read list because I still have an outstanding galley of hers to review. None of the nonfiction books listed really piqued my interest, which only means that there were no authors or titles that really excited me.

The book excerpts were divided into four categories: fiction, debut, nonfiction, young adult.
Over five hours of excerpts and related material seemed like a lot to handle, so I read the introductory material to each excerpt then chose only a few intriguing excerpts to read. I started to read the excerpt for The Lost Book of Eleanor Dare by Kimberley Brock, but decided that the tone wasn’t right for me. Fortunately, the Geraldine Brooks novel that I immediately added to my to be read pile was the next excerpt. Reading that was enough to confirm my interest in reading the entire book. I was intrigued by the introduction for The Secret Life of Albert Entwistle by Matt Cain, so I read the excerpt for that and liked its quirkiness enough to add it to my to be read list. Same with Cult Classic by Sloane Crosley. After I read the excerpt for A Coin for the Ferryman I decided that I didn’t want to read it because the writing style didn’t agree with me. The excerpt for The Seamstress of New Orleans was fairly bland, but I decided to keep it on my to be read list because the introduction to the excerpt promised more intrigue to come. I liked the bright yellow and fuchsia cover for Iona Iverson’s Rules for Commuting, so I spent ten minutes reading that excerpt as well. It was a good investment of my time, so I added that to my to be read list. The introduction to the excerpt from the new book by Adriana Trigiani sounded great, but the writing was denser than I was in the mood to read. Unfortunately, none of the excerpts in the debut section were able to hold my attention long enough to be added to my to be read pile. The few nonfiction offerings in the volume also did not appeal to my personal preferences. Finally, since I don’t read young adult books, I skipped over that section entirely.

All said and done, over the course of a day’s skimming, reading, and careful consideration, I found five fiction books that I was excited about adding to my to be read pile. I know at least three of them - Albert Entwistle, Iona Iverson, Cult Classic - would have never found their way onto my radar otherwise. Of course, I did request advance reader copies for all of them through NetGalley, so I eagerly await learning which (if any) I get approved for.

I received this edition of Buzz Books as a digital advance reader copy provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest opinion.

Great way to preview some of the upcoming new releases! Found some titles I hadn’t previously heard of. Loved that the link to request the Egalley was linked.

I always look forward to seeing the Buzz Books for the coming season. This one is full of interesting reads and NetGalley makes it easy to request the ones I am interested in reading. Now, I'm off to add more future reading to my TBR list!

I know a lot of readers seem to dislike excerpts, but I am not one of them. I look forward to these editions every year, and I have yet to find less than a dozen books to add to my TBR. If I am in decent shape with my NetGalley shelf, I am able to request additional books, right at the end of each book. Besides the many excerpts, this is also a very comprehensive guide to books that will be published in the spring and summer. Did I mention that I narrowed my choices down to just twelve books? Why so low you might ask. Well, I have been fortunate enough to already read some of these terrific books.
If you enjoy reading a bit more than a book description, Buzz Books can't be beaten!

There's a lot of wonderful reading in Buzz Books 2022: Spring/Summer, but for me the real standout is Geraldine Brooks' Horse, which takes on issues of race as it recounts the story of a 19th Century equestrian painting. i can't wait for the publication date!

As a collection development librarian, I am always on the lookout for lists of upcoming books, and this is one heck of a list.

As always, this is a go-to guide for upcoming fiction and non-fiction works. The excerpts are invaluable for those of us trying to choose what to review in the upcoming months. Thank you, Buzz Books, for providing this keen reference for readers.

Engaging Roundup…
Buzz Books 2022 Spring/Summer roundup of forthcoming titles. As engaging as and useful as ever, with tantalising and most promising excerpts to give your TBR pile a boost. Excellent.

A wonderful and useful tool that introduces me to books I might otherwise miss, and helps me with ideas of acquisition for our library.. I’m grateful to have this added resource.

Always a favorite of mine. I love to see what's coming so that we can choose book club reads before the books are out so the members can recommend the best reads to others.

These samplers are so invaluable! There are a few books on it that I’ve heard of and several that were completely unknown. I added a few to my watch list for when they come out! I also read a few where I’d heard of the author but hadn’t read anything from them (ex. Sabaa Tahir), and now I have an idea of whether their writing is my cup of tea or not.

Thanks for making this available!

Once again, BuzzBooks provides much needed information about upcoming books for 2022 and helps to pique my curiosity. Everything looks interesting, I must admit. It is so hard to choose which books to request and read/review. The BuzzBook series help enormously in the decision making process. They are a must read for reviewers.

Buzz Books are my favorite way to hear early buzz about books. It always adds dozens of books to my tbr. This is a fantastic resource for book bloggers. Love the synopsis, release info and publicity contact information is super helpful for early arc requests.

I love these Buzz Book samplers so much. This spring/summer 2022 edition is excellent. Several titles are worth looking at. I'll be checking out several before their releases.

This was a great catalog to find out about the new books for the upcoming Spring/ Summer release. There were several I'll be interested in reading and can't wait!!!

This is the best ebook! I loved perusing through all of the upcoming new books and reading a chapter from each! So many new ones to add to my reading list! I was fortunate to have joined in the Zoom event to hear some of these authors and editors talk about their books. I will be requesting the future preview books

Always good to be able to explore the list of upcoming titles for the new year. Buzz Books is very helpful when deciding what to order for our library.

These seasonal pre-release summaries are great, they always give me a great idea of what to look forward in the new releases. I like them best when they are segmented by genre though because it makes it easier to review my interests. I like the sneak peaks too.

I think it would be nearly impossible not to find some books to read from this excellent sampler. I particularly like the way it is sectioned into Fiction, debut authors, non-fiction, and young adult. Well organized, with direct links to requesting books on NetGalley. I requested half a dozen books. Highly recommended

I always appreciate the seasonal Buzz Book previews since they give me the chance to examine upcoming books, decide which ones to read and request for review, and choose which books I may want to purchase for the library collection. Please keep them coming!

Buzz Books are always a joy to read! This edition of Spring/Summer for 2022 is no exception. It lists ALL the titles in A=LL the genres for these two seasons. Everything from Big Authors we know and love, to Debut Authors we will get to know and love!
Plus, there are many, repeat, many excerpts of books you can read to get an idea of what you'd love with links to request galleys! What could be better? Nothing!
Get your copy today!

As always, the Buzz Books sampler has some great excerpts. There are definitely some titles that I am looking forward to seeing on NetGalley, and for purchasing for my library!

I read this ARC for an honest review
All thoughts and opinions are mine

I love these
I always try and get a look when these are released
It helps focus my reading and what to look out for

Highly recommend

I always enjoy this summaries as an opportunity to see what is coming out in the publishing world. Please keep them coming!!

This is the fourth time in a row where I have the opportunity to read through the Buzz Books catalogues and it did not disappoint!

I found a lot of books I would like to read, some by author I have never heard of and a few by well known ones. I am especially intrigued by the following:
All my rage by Sabaa Tahir
Finding Jupiter by Kelis Rowe
Horse by Geraldine Brooks
Booth by Karen Joy Fowler
The Last White Man by Mohsin Hamid
Ordinary Monsters by J.M. Miro

And the one that I am most excited about (and hope to be approved for) is
Take my Hand by Dolen Perkins Valdez

Thank you again for this opportunity.
I am already looking forward to Buzz Books next installment.

I look forward to the Buzz Books every year, and 2022's seems to have somehow gotten even larger, even more full of tantalising snippets of the best of the upcoming titles of the spring and summer of the year.

I work as a book reviewer and contribute to a major news outlet, and have found the Buzz Books 2022 Spring/Summer catalogue to be an invaluable resource, and one that I will continue to refer back to again and again over the coming months as I put my columns and articles together.

I'm still in awe of how much attention to detail and how many excerpts are included in the catalogue. I'm not sure if this has been available for prior seasons, but it's my first time accessing, and it's just incredible.

If I had an very large TBR pile before gaining access to this fantastic resource, then you should see it now. I have enough books to keep me going for the next two years at least, and to think this is just Spring/Summer. It amazes me.

I've also found this to be an inspirational asset for pitching themed articles to publications, so I'm thankful for that, since it'll help me with getting more work published.

I'm incredibly grateful to Publishers Lunch and NetGalley for access.

I look forward to Buzz Books previews twice a year, and this one was as excellent as the others have been! I especially enjoyed the samples from Notes on Your Sudden Disappearance, by Alison Espach; Iona Iverson's Rules for Commuting, by Clare Pooley; Shadows of Berlin, by David Gillham; and Two Nights in Lisbon, by Chris Pavone.

Wow this thing is huge! It's pretty much impossible to pick this up and NOT find something you want to read. I definitely added a few to my TBR list. Thanks!

There are a lot of wonderful books coming out soon. I have marked quite a few for later reviewing and stocking for the store. This is the first books with buzz I’ve read and I enjoyed all the excerpts and cover art. Quite a few stood out to me as great looking reads. What a cool way to show off what’s coming and get readers excited.
