I looked over the list of 100 new books that tells you of the titles that are being published in June. There are 7 excerpts of books. One is nonfiction. I enjoy reading these excerpts as it gives me a chance to decide if I want to buy the book or not. I don't mind finding new authors to read.

Disclaimer: I received an arc of this book free from the author/publisher from Netgalley. I was not obliged to write a favorable review, or even any review at all. The opinions expressed are strictly my own.

I always look forward to reading these books. I am constantly using these as my what-to-read-next lists. I love that excerpts are included from several of the books on the list so that I can get an idea of whether or not I am going to love the book before I begin reading it. The format of these books is excellent as well. Giving a description and then including the excerpt afterwards. I only wish that their were a couple more excerpts, but this in no way takes away my appreciation of this book.

I gray preview of books to come and a great way to decide what you want to purchase to read for yourself. As always, a great way to keep track of those you want and don't want.

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I am currently reading The Marsh King's Daughter and am really enjoying it, so while this June Buzz Books Monthly is short, it was worth it for me to find the above book.
