I always enjoy this book of samplers. These books contain a wonderful variety of excerpts and really help me decide which books I want to read. I am looking forward to sharing many of these titles on my blog. I am sure I will be adding many to my ever growing TBR pile.

I love these books! I love we get a preview of all the fab books that are coming.

fun way to see the upcoming books that are going to pad our TBR's

Incredibly helpful to find new and exciting books coming out in the next few months.

I always look forward to the seasonal catalog. Thank you for providing this!

Fantastic books available. I always love getting these excerpts to find the next arcs I'd like to read.

I always love getting a preview of the upcoming season's releases. It gives me some ideas on what to add to my TBR lists and which hot titles I should be reviewing!

I always appreciate the opportunity to sample upcoming books, to better decide whether to request them. Thanks!

A lot of great stuff here! Buzz Books is such a great tool for librarians who want to start planning their budget, or want to be able to recommend books right when they arrive. It's always exciting to get snippets of upcoming new releases.

This is my all time favorite when it comes out twice a year. A great way to find out about new and upcoming books.

These excerpts are always extremely helpful and I am looking forward to reading many of the titles profiled here. Thank you.

What a fantastic collection! I enjoy these Buzz Books so much as they give me a great pulse on what is coming in the next season. If this sampling is any indication it is going to be a great one.

I am truly excited to have access to this book! There are so many wonderful books to read from existing best seller authors to the new up and coming authors! How do we choose? What better way to decide on new titles then to be able to read excerpts and/or plot descriptions.... also find out all the pertinent data for release dates, etc.......much can be determined by just a few sentences........fantastic!

Like Potato Chips, But Better For You

These Buzz Books come out twice a year; there's a set for YA books and another set, including this volume, for adult fiction and non-fiction. I used to skip the Buzz Books because you always have the option of looking at Amazon "Look Inside" samples for the books that seem interesting.

But, the books in these collections are so far down the pipeline that most don't have sample options available yet. The only way to get an early look at them is to look here. And, often the samples in the Buzz Book are longer than the Amazon samples anyway. So, since it's a freebie and an easy download there's no risk.

In addition, the book opens with an introductory essay briefly reviewing what else of interest is on the horizon. It addresses literary fiction, debuts, commercial fiction, general non-fiction, and memoirs, which is a nice heads up. The actual excerpts are organized as Fiction, Debut Fiction, and Non-Fiction.

This time around the selection of fiction excerpts is heavy on domestic drama, thrillers, suspense, and all of those rich people in Brooklyn or the Upper West Side or the Lower East Side who are just so darn unhappy, which is, I guess, a fair sampling of current fiction trends and likely to please. All of the excerpts are well written, given what they are; the question is really more about what genres you prefer or think you are in the mood for.

For what it's worth I found a few books, (out of 40 excerpts), that definitely piqued my interest. Given the wide range of genres covered, that's a pretty good catch. There is a better than usual range of choices in this edition and there were many happy surprises, especially in Debut Fiction. I found books that I probably would never have otherwise picked out of a list. I was also pleasantly surprised by the non-fiction choices. Two in particular - Pamela Haag's gun business history "The Gunning of America" and Chuck Klosterman's "But What If We're Wrong" - struck me as especially interesting.

These are substantial books from main stream publishers. So, the easy-browsing angle, the appealing selection, the freebieness, and the early bird access all combine to make this a nice no-risk choice.

This is a very useful volume of excerpts of up and coming. soon to be released books. It provides a reader the opportunity to sample books they may be interested in along with marking them to buy on the release dates. It is a great way for a reader to try new writers and for new writers to get their work out to an audience.

These excerpts are so helpful in selecting titles for review, and they have brought to my attention a few titles I inadvertently overlooked on the NetGalley website. Thank you so much for providing these Buzz Books!

Always recommend this for anyone who wants to have an idea of what's coming down the 'book pipeline', so to speak! It's a great way to get an idea of what you want to read as well, and offers a 'feel' for the tone and the style of writing.

A handy and informative guide with samplers of upcoming books. The selection is eclectic and ranges from (debut) fiction to noteworthy nonfiction, from literary to (historical) events. I already have my favorites marked and cannot wait for them to be released!

Great edition of new books coming out! I have requested so many of them. Love it!

This series remains a thorough and endlessly helpful source for discovering upcoming offerings from publishers. As a book blogger and reviewer, I've come to rely on Buzz Books as a tool for planing reviews and posts throughout the year.

I always look forward to the release of this book. It is a fantastic introduction to new authors and brings books to my attention that I may have overlooked. Highly recommended!!

A fabulous collection of stories! My list of books to read has just gotten ridiculously long!

These book buzz samplers are SO BAD for my TBR! As usual there are a ton of exciting titles highlighted here. A few I'm looking forward to include: Robin Wasserman's GIRLS ON FIRE, Joe Hill's THE FIREMAN (of course!), and Elizabeth Brundage's ALL THINGS CEASE TO APPEAR as well as debuts UNDER THE HARROW by Flynn Berry and LAST CALL AT THE NIGHTSHADE LOUNGE by Paul Krueger.

I adore this collection! It provides summaries/excerpts and gives you the opportunity to discover authors and their works. Truly worth reading.

Awesome selection of upcoming fiction to be looking out for! Still working my way through all the samples but am enjoying it.

This is a book of excerpts of a variety of books that will be released in the Spring & Summer of 2016. It is divided into three parts, fiction by already known authors, debut fiction and nonfiction. I especially liked the debut fiction section because I like getting to read books by new authors, there is something special about an authors first book. You can get this book for free on amazon.com

I always look forward to the new Buzz Books editions - sneak peeks of upcoming literary delights with links to the Netgalley request. Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up on what books are coming out. I have a huge list of books that I can't wait to read and review now. The info in Buzz Books publications is very helpful. Thank you!

I always love reading these free editions of Buzz Books. It's a great way to plan ahead for future reading, recommend reading and generating interest in all the good works coming down the line. Thank you for offering Buzz Books!

I always make a point of reading the Buzz Books issues and it never disappoints. I find so many great books that may have otherwise passed me by. Keep up the amazing work!

This is a terrific wrap up of up coming books and authors for Spring and Summer 2016! I have enjoyed the insights shared with other readers and look forward to so many of the books featured in this collection of excerpts.

It’s shaping up to be an outstanding spring and summer for reading! There are a wealth of exciting new books coming out, with titles sure to appeal to all tastes. Well-established authors such as Tracy Chevalier, Chris Cleave, Louise Erdrich, Nathaniel Philbrick, and Chuck Klosterman all have books that are sure to receive lots of positive buzz. Debuts by Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney, L.S. Hilton, Flynn Berry, Danny Johnson, and Alice Adams look especially enticing. Lots of great books to read and recommend!

Another compilation that will completely entice you! This spring/summer promises some awesome books by both celebrated authors as well as new debut writers. I marked sixteen books as must reads!!! Can't wait. Thank you Buzz Books!!!

I look forward to these compilations. There is no question that they help me plan my review choices. I am deeply appreciative!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher/editor for providing a digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Great excerpts of upcoming books! I was pleased to find that at least 25% of the books included were ones I definitely want to read. Others were ones that might not be my cup of tea, but they were books I could see recommending to others who would enjoy them, providing me with a great reader's advisory tool as a librarian.

An overwhelming collection of Adult Lit to hit the shelves this season. The selection of works is a fair variety with many I look forward to reading - far too many to mention. There are almost too many works featured, but in a way I'm glad of that. I don't read enough Adult Lit so I'm happy to be suddenly thrust into this world. The breakdown of categories is also very welcomed to novices like myself to make sure there's a taste of everything. Thank you for the collection.

Certainly a collection of titles that have piqued my interest and have given me several titles to put on my wishlist to read and review. Thank you for this!

There are some absolutely fantastic books due out in spring/summer this year - I have added a few to my wish list already - some excellent sequels and follow ups from some of my favourite authors - I can't wait to get my hands on them!

As usual, the Buzz Books for adults didn't disappoint. I love love LOVE that I get to read snippets of the new books coming out so I can gauge what will work in the store and with what customers. Et hem, and also pick out a few things that I'm going to want to grab for myself. Not going to lie, I've found a LOT of books that I want to read myself.

Though I have to say, the running theme for adult books this coming season is SAD and DEPRESSING and ANGRY. The YA titles seem to be a bit on the more hopeful side and honestly, somewhat better written. Of course, that Buzz Books only had 20 offerings, while this one had twice that amount.

This had a good spread of new fiction, debut authors and new non-fiction. I seemed to gravitate to the non-fiction more than the fiction, but there were a few debuts that got my attention.

As always, five stars and a hearty recommendation to all who want a quick peek at what's coming so time isn't wasted on buying a book you won't like and missing out on one or more that you would.

My thanks to NetGalley and Publishers Lunch BUZZ BOOKS for an eARC copy to read and review. Thanks to you, my TBR just grew. ;)

Book Buzz is always a welcome edition to my reading! I love having a sample of some of the best books to be coming our way from the publishing world!

This was my first time seeing a Buzz Books Book, and I have to say it is fantastic! An excellent overview of upcoming titles from the publishers at the forefront of the industry. I found a number of reads to look forward to!

I love having a "sneak peak" with the new seasons & new books that are coming out. So many to add to my "must read" list! Thank you for providing these excerpts.

So many good books coming out! Can't wait to read them.

This is less of a book review than a TBR list, of the book excerpts that made me sorry they were so short:
Last Call at the Nightshade Lounge made me squeal out loud because it's monster-fantasy that starts at a pub quiz. Too perfect! I want it!
I'm also interested in a bunch of historical fiction Jazz Moon by Joe Okokwo looks great Everyone Brave is Forgiven by Chris Cleave:
The Last Road Home by Danny Johnson And for that matter, nonfiction: Indestructible, The Code of the Extraordinary Mind, The Bridge Ladies...
Jane Steele by Lyndsay Faye because I love the idea of Jane Eyre, rock star.
Modern Lovers by Emma Straub looks good, in a similar rock vein.
Not sure about the Decent Proposal by Kemper Donovan, though I like the setup.
Gift ideas: will be getting my aunt Glory Over Everything and The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper for her book club, and Brighton & Before the Fall for Dad the mystery lover, Sport of Kings for my Uncle the Dick Francis fan

So many great little tastes. Now to grab them as full galleys! Hooray!

I love the idea of being able to check out new to me authors without having to devote All my time to a whole book. This is a great way to find new authors! I just found three!!

Great guide! So many great books discovered.

I adore these seasonal previews, and this one was no exception. I find them particularly great when it comes to the previews of the debut works, where I have less information to go on regarding the authors. Thanks to this particular edition, I'm now really looking forward to the new Joe Hill, and Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney's The Nest, among others.

It's great how I can look through the books without having to commit to them! Makes it easier to pick books to review :)

Excellent resource for books that may normally pass you by. I have 2 must reads plus at least another 4 or 5 that look really interesting. Well worth the download.

Thank you for continuing to offer this. It's a useful tool for librarians.

This is a gift that goes beyond simply a list of new books to be published!

Really very excellent collection, and a dozen more added to my wishlist and pre-orders. Maestra by Hilton in particular, Last Call at the Nightshade Lounge by Krueger, Jazz Moon by Joe Okokwo and All Things Cease to Appear by Elizabeth Brundage are also added. Longer reviews to come once I've read the full versions of these books!

I love this format from various publishers promoting their new releases. It gives you a tasty overview of 40 widely varied titles. These are arranged by fiction/non-fiction but also sub categories with new authors and established writers. What I also love is the fact that they are early enough that you can look for the titles on Netgalley to read the book. Grab this book. And a big thank you to the publishers who participate.

Still tired from staying up late last night finishing your latest book? Then the Buzz Books 2016: Spring/Summer guide can help you organize your sleeping/reading/work schedule for the next several months! More books!?! With Louise Erdrich a personal favorite, among so many other wonderful choices, I'm reading this cover to cover.

Fantastic selection, can't wait to read the full novels!!

These collections are just amazing; thank you so much for the opportunity to get a sneak peek into upcoming releases!

What a great thing! I found a couple books I want to read that I would of passed on!

What a great collection of forthcoming novels! I'm very excited to read many of them. Thank you Publishers Lunch for also including excerpts to give potential readers and reviewers a sense of the author's writing style - especially if they are new authors.

Some books in here there is a buzz about (pun intended) and who doesn't enjoy sneak peaks into forthcoming novels?
One I have on my to read shelf is All Things Cease To Appear, so I was delighted about that excerpt.
Another is At the Edge of the Orchard some I was lucky to read early via netgalley like Everyone Brave is Forgiven. Being a Louise Erdrich fan I was happy to get a sample of La Rose, which is also on my to read shelf. I had already been lucky enough to have T. Greenwood's latest Where I Lost Her, but more and more excerpts aren't as easy to find so I always look forward to Buzz Books samplers.

The Buzz Books are always a great resource for new releases. This particular outing is dedicated to Spring/Summer 2016. One thing I like about it, is at the beginning they have a very large listing of new book releases. The fiction is broken out into several different categories so we can easily identify debut authors and long time favorites. 40 of these books are selected for preview in this guide. Each book features the cover and a summary, along with an excerpt. With so many new releases, this is an excellent way to narrow down your reading list and find your next great read.

OMG. This is like setting a kid loose in a candy store! SO MANY APPEALING TITLES. If I'm approved for a fraction I will have my work cut out for me. {Please do approve]!

Always love reading BuzzBooks to find great upcoming reads! 5 stars per usual. :)

love getting just a taste of what to read - really helps when I have to cull the book stack of new arcs.

An incredible source of inspiration and knowledge. Beautifully edited. As always, a priceless document.

I look forward to each edition of Buzz Books: 2016 Spring/Summer is no exception. So where to begin?
First I start with the Publishing Preview section. this will tell me what's in queue even if a sample isn't included in this edition of Buzz Books. Stewart O'Nan's "City of Secrets' is the title I'm most anticipating. I'm also curious about Charlotte Rogan's 'Now and Again,' having read her first book. I will be on the look out for the new books by Chris Cleave, Megan Abbott, Helen Simonson and Siddartha Mukherjee, to name a few.

Then I peruse the samples. I read excerpts from the new works by my favorite authors first and then try out some debut authors as well. By now I have a pretty good list of what I'm going after when the release dates arrive.

Finally, I like to go back to Buzz Books six months later . . . after I've heard author interviews and read some of the new books. I like to compare my impressions with the marketing description. Inevitably I discover a title I missed on my initial pass through Buzz Books.

Awesome review of upcoming books! Thanks for letting us see this catalogue

Great Selections!

These books are great for checking out the latest books!

This was a fantastic way to see what new books are coming out this Spring and Summer. Book covers with synopsis and even a short excerpt of each book. This edition is chock full of so many great new reads. Hold on to your hats because there is some great fiction on the horizon.

I found this guide super helpful. I have eclectic tastes in my reading material so Netgallery can be a bit hard to navigate and find things to read. The excerpts were generous enough that I was able to get a good idea about the authors' styles.

I loved the variety in this collection. It opened my eyes to many new authors and books that I otherwise might have overlooked. I am especially looking forward to reading: Jane Steele, The Nest, At The Edge of the Orchard, Maestra, and Modern Lovers. It was an easy read, and the books were presented in a appealing fashion with generous excerpts. The best way to bulk up your TBR list!

A nice selection of upcoming books. Looking forward to quite of few of the books that are highlighted here.

This is a fantastic way to showcase new and upcoming titles and I would urge anyone interested in Adult Fiction and Non-Fiction to check this book out! While these aren't genres I typically read (and so would never have looked up myself), I am now on the look out for a couple books after I read their excerpts.

Buzz Books are one of my favorite ways to discover new authors! Even though not every sample may appeal to you, you know that there's going to be something in there that you'll probably love! Here are a few stories that caught my eye:

The Choices We Make by Karma Brown isn't my normal type of read, but the excerpt really grabbed me and I want to find out what happens next! It's about two life-long friends, Kate and Hannah. Kate offers to be a surrogate for Hannah, who is unable to have a child of her own. Then tragedy strikes and their lives may never be the same. Wowza!

Another story outside my usual type of read is There Will Be Stars by Bill Coffey. The twist that caught my interest is that the main character doesn't die in a horrible accident, but rather finds himself returning to the beginning of his last day. Sounds a little like the movie Groundhog Day. Curious to see what happens next and find out the story behind the others trapped with him!

While it's been years since I last read Jane Eyre, I remember that I didn't really care for it. I think that I'd like the retelling in Jane Steele by Lyndsay Faye much more. In this version, Jane is a spunky, heroic serial killer. I like her already!

Sometimes Fate seems to step in and make things right or give you a second chance. At least, that's the vibe I got from If I Forget You by Christopher Greene. Two ex-lovers have a chance meeting on the street 21 years after being driven apart. The sampler left me wanting to know more! Why were they driven apart? Are they now happy or still thinking about what might have been?

Joe Hill's The Fireman has the interesting premise of a worldwide pandemic that causes spontaneous combustion. There is no antidote and it's highly contagious, so you can imagine the panic. While I've never read Joe Hill before, the sample shows his incredible talent and left me wanting more!

Remember the movie Sliding Doors? The Versions of Us by Laura Barnett reminds me a little of that, as it's different versions of life. Taking a left turn instead of a right. Chance encounters. Different strands of spaghetti strings. Full of possibilities and what might have beens, I found it fascinating!

While not every story was for me, I added several to my wishlist!

This is the first time I've downloaded a "Buzz Books" edition. WOW....just Wow!! First off, this was HUGE. It was a copious amount of reading. But read I did. It was somewhat overwhelming. SO many good books coming up, SO many debut authors I'm looking forward to reading. I have written down all the books that I'm going to be on the look-out for, those that I'm going to purchase. Some of my favourite authors have upcoming books and to take a peak at what their novel is about was wonderful. Thank you so much for the opportunity to get an "inside" look at what's coming this Spring/Summer. I'm spreading the news.

Although I have more than enough books to keep me busy for quite awhile, I love when Buzz Books comes out with a new book.

This one is the 2016 Spring/Summer edition which gives excerpts from the top 40 new titles for this season. They include fiction, debut fiction and non-fiction.

Seeing the cover of the books, the synopsis, and being able to read an excerpt of the book gives you a good idea if this is the book for you. I found a couple (okay, more than a couple!) to add to my "to be read" list.

All readers will enjoy this book!

* I was provided a copy of this book from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Another fantastic sneak peek. Look forward to these so much...

These are my Go To for staying in the loop!

I always always look forward to Buzz Books. Often I find books I have overlooked or usually wouldn't consider but after reading an excerpt really intrigues me. Loads of these books are available on netgalley which makes for such easy access. And if not you get a taste of upcoming books. Invaluable !

Fantastic books, has given me a long list of summer reads!!!

Buzz Books is a fantastic publication. I'm stocking up on titles for summer reading!

I just love this sampler! I'm adding so many great reads to my reading list. Thank you!

Ah, how I look forward to Buzz Books previews. Here we have 40 titles - debuts, fiction and non-fic - with a summary of each, first chapters and all if the publication info you may need. There are some real corkers included this time!

Really great excerpts in here! Added a lot to my to-read list.

A fantastic sampler of the most exciting upcoming book launches.
The excerpts cover a wide range of styles and genres but quite honestly, there's not a single dull note in there. For me, particular highlights include Chris Cleave's and Joe Hill's new novels plus I've added a good 20 others to my TBR list.
The excerpts are short enough to get through very quickly but long enough to give a good introduction to the book itself.
Highly recommended :)

I'm always on the hunt for our next read for my book club, as the sole curator this kind of guide comes in very helpful

So many great books coming out, especially in my favorite genres of Mystery, Thriller and Suspense. I've earmarked several titles to look for, after reading the samples, and cannot wait to read them.

These Buzz Books come out twice a year; there's a set for YA books and another set, including this volume, for adult fiction and non-fiction.
Since it's a freebie and an easy download there's no risk, so just hop on up and click the buy button. You just might find a book you want to read.
