“You’ve just read an excerpt from . . . “
ARGH!*@! I hate it! I keep telling myself I won’t fall for these insidious publications again, but Publishers Lunch keeps making previews freely available, and I can’t resist. They have so many previews of all kinds of interesting books that I keep adding to my great mountain of books To Be Read!
I didn’t count how many are in this particular volume which covers Fiction and Non-fiction and debuts. I have my eye on a few that looked interesting. You may recognise favourite authors here, but I'll just mention a few books that caught my reluctant eye.
Roar by Cecelia Ahern has three of the stories in her book of 30 stories of women. I liked these three, but I have no idea what the rest are like.
=========
The Guest Book by Sarah Blake is another that had an interesting chapter with a startling ending. The blurb says it follows three generations of a powerful American family that used to run the world.
=========
The Seven or Eight Deaths of Stella Fortuna is the debut novel of Juliet Grames, about a pair of elderly Italian sisters who aren't speaking to each other. The premise doesn't sound nearly as interesting as the chapter I read would suggest. I'm afraid the title may suffer because of similar titles that are out now, but that shouldn't detract from the story. I enjoyed what I read.
==========
Another quirky debut is Ellie and the Harpmaker by harpist Hazel Prior, who doubtless knows her harps. The excerpt here features a bored wife, walking in the woods and finding an unusual man in a barn filled with harps he's made. Good reading, I hope.
==========
I really enjoyed what I read of How Not to Die Alone, a debut by Richard Roper, who was inspired, he says, by an article he read about a guy whose job it was to track down any kin of people who had died alone. The chapter included is the protagonist "representing the family" (whom nobody's found) at the funeral of a man who died alone. It shouldn't be a funny situation, but it is. The publisher refers to fans of Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine as the sort of readers who might enjoy this.
==========
On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong is poetically horrendous! I may have to read it because it's so compelling. Vuong is a poet, but this is a debut novel, and the combination of poetic language and a macabre scene in Vietnam introducing a character is sort of can't-look-away awful. But also awfully good.
==========
The last I'll be looking for is Valerie Jarrett's account of her years meeting and knowing the Obamas, Finding My Voice: My Journey to the West Wing and the Path Forward. The excerpt included is when she met Michelle for the first time and offered her a job. Gotta be a good book, I reckon!
And so, my list grows ever longer.
Thanks to NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for the preview. Buzz Books are all Read Now on NetGalley, or available to all free at http://buzz.publishersmarketplace.com/

I love it when a new Buzz Books issues comes out! Previewing the new books to be published tells me what to request to read on Netgalley and what to look for in the bookstore. I like have lists of all the books coming out and then excerpts of some of the highlight. I have read some of the books already, but I still found quite a few to request from Netgalley. I have some on my shelf ready to be read. It looks like it's going to be a good book season!
Thanks to Publishers Lunch BUZZ BOOKS through Netgalley for a copy. As always, I will look forward to the next issue.

When I first discovered Buzz Books I was thrilled to be given insight into the best new books coming out. My problem was that "my eyes were bigger than my stomach". I requested more books than I could read in a reasonable time. So I had to practice moderation -- not reading Buzz Books until I got over 80% reviewed.
I am so glad that I was able to treat myself to another edition of Buzz Books. From this volume I am looking forward to reading the following titles:
Fiction
On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous ~ Ocean Vuong
Lot ~ Bryan Washington
Places and Names: On War, Revolution, and Returning ~ Elliot Ackerman
Patsy ~ Nicole Dennis-Benn
Bunny: A Novel~ Mona Awad
The Snakes: A Novel ~ Sadie Jones
If, Then: A Novel ~ Kate Hope Day
The Old Drift ~ Namwali Serpell
Stone Cold Heart ~ Caz Frear
The Confessions of Frannie Langton ~ Sara Collins
Non Fiction
The Scandal of the Century: And Other Writings ~ Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Survival Math: Notes on an All-American Family ~ Mitchell Jackson
Then It Fell Apart ~ Moby

I began reading Buzz Books in 2016, when I got a copy of the 2016 Fall / Winter edition, and I was impressed with the information about the upcoming books, but most of all, the excerpts – which typically include the first few chapters.
If you have favourite authors (and who doesn’t?), this is a great way to find out of one of your favourites is coming out with a new book that you haven’t heard about – yet. If you like to check out new and upcoming authors, this gives you a taste of their writing and whether or not you’re tempted to read more. You want to know which best-selling authors are coming out with new books, they include those, as well.
Since this is the Spring / Summer edition, quite a few of these have already been published, but there are still some that I was very curious about, including debut author Ocean Vuong’s On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous, Sarah Blake’s Naamah, Kira Jane Buxton’s Hollow Kingdom as well as many others, too many others to name them all.
Publisher’s Lunch Buzz Books includes a Fiction section, within that it is broken down to: Commercial, The Notables, Emerging Voices, Debut and Highly Anticipated. Non-Fiction covers Science and Technology, Social Issues, Politics and Current Events, History, Biography and Memoir and more. They also have separate editions for Young Adult as well as Romance.
Available through NetGalley for members, or directly through Publisher’s Lunch at http://buzz.publishersmarketplace.com/
Many thanks for the ARC provided by Publishers Lunch / Buzz Books

Many thanks to NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review. My opinions are 100% my own and independent of receiving an advanced copy
I’m not sure whether to kick myself because I was so lucky the day I decided to check out Buzz Books or really kick myself because the last thing I need is more books on my “To Read” shelf. This spring’s edition is no different. There are almost 50 upcoming books that are in this edition and they are spectacular. If you are not familiar with Buzz Books they review a selection of books that are going to be released for that season. They are from a variety of publishers and have a selection of different genres. Because the YA genre is so popular they have their own edition. For each book there is a description, information for the book like publishing date, price, etc. and an excerpt. These are not just a couple of wispy pages of a teaser of an excerpt. No, no, no. They include quite a substantial excerpt, enough that you can really get a feel for the text, the voice of the author and whether or not it is your type of book. The problem, if you are someone like me, I get so hooked I want to read the whole book right away!!!
They have sifted through the thousands of titles being published and select those that they think are noteworthy or remarkable in some way.The list is broken down into Fiction with subsections of The Notables, Highly Anticipated, Emerging Voices, Debut, and Commercial Fiction. The Nonfiction section include Politics and Current Events, Social Issues, Science and Technology, History and Crime, Essays and Criticism, and Biography and Memoir. Those they have provided an excerpt are marked with an asterisk. There are popular authors with highly anticipated releases like Cecelia Ahern, T.C. Boyle, Nell Zink and Liv Constantine to name just a few. You can discover new authors in the debut section. I was familiar with many of these releases like “Little Darlings” by Melanie Golding and “Naamah” by Sara Blake.
Of course the best is that at the end of each excerpt there is link to NetGalley where you can request an ARC of the book. Seriously, this doesn’t help me in my quest for trying to reduce the number of request I make, but I just can’t help it. I’m too excited about the prospect of reading that next great book. There are some really gems that are just waiting to be discovered.

Invaluable resource for those wishing to select what to read in the months ahead the Spring and Summer edition contains excerpts of numerous books with their upcoming publication dates. This is an exciting collection and everyone should be able to find books for their ‘Want to Read’ list. Amazon offers free Buzz Books as Kindle downloads.
Merged review:
Buzz Books are an invaluable resource for reading excerpts of new books being published this spring and summer. Everyone should be able to find books to add to their 'Want to Read' list. This is an excellent selection of forthcoming books, and am already eagerly awaiting some of them. Buzz Books can be downloaded for free at Amazon.

Ahh, welcome back Buzz Books! I really missed these issues over the winter period and wondered where they'd gone, so I'm happy they're back with a bang. Once again there is a strong selection of books here, and the excerpts certainly whet your appetite. You can never have too many books in your TBR pile so pick this up for guaranteed additions to your already wildly out of control mountain in the corner!
Many thanks to Publishers Lunch/Buzz Books for my copy.

I always look forward to reading these so I can see what I need to add to my TBR list. I especially like finding new books from authors that I have read for years, so both “The Night Window” by Dean Koontz and “The Second-Worst Restaurant in France” by Alexander McCall Smith went on my list immediately. I know I will be buying Martin Walker’s new Inspector Bruno for my husband. One of my (relatively new) favorite authors is Ruth Ware, so I look forward to August when “The Turn of the Key” is released. I am not a usual reader of non-fiction, but I love Mel Brooks, and hope to read Patrick McGilligan’s “Funny Man: Mel Brooks.” As always, some of the new writers look promising as well. Thank you to NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for a digital copy in exchange for an honest review.

This is a fun, great way to preview upcoming books - a chapter or so of each anticipated book is shared - the range is lovely and diverse - something for everyone. Some genres I’m not into and while i didn’t end up going past a couple of paras of a few, I appreciated the opportunity to sample. There were some good ones and debut authors as well - always great to see new writers being published. Three in particular I’m eager to check out - The Sweetest Fruits by Monique Troung, The Great Pretender by Susannah Cahalan, and Here We Are: American Dreams, American Nightmares. Thanks NetGalley and all the publishers for providing a much-anticipated window into fall/winter 2019.

From reading other reviews, it looks like this is something that is published on a regular basis, for me however, this is my first experience with this publication and all I can say is WOW!!!!!!!! I'm so thankful to have been one of the lucky people that received a copy. I have added at least 10 of these titles to my TBR list and the best part of all is that Netgalley granted me almost all of the books I requested as Advanced Readers Copies. I've devoured two already! I often peruse Netgalley to see what strikes my fancy and typically I come up with one or two that I request and am approved for, this made it so much easier with links to request right at the end of the summaries of each book. Buzz Books 2019: Spring/Summer is jammed packed with so many awesome titles, I found myself limiting my requests so the publishers didn't think I was a hoarder! So many books, so little time! Get your copy!
February 20, 2019
This was the first time I've read Buzz Books - what a great resource! I'm especially excited about Cecelia Ahern's story collection, Lindy West's latest, and Melanie Golding's mystery that was already optioned to become a movie (how!?). I'm intrigued by Jill Abramson's Merchants of Truth: The Business of News the Fight for Facts, John Carlos Frey's Sand and Blood: America's Stealth War on the Mexico Border, and Maureen Callahan's American Predator: The Hunt for the Most Meticulous Serial Killer of the 21st Century. And I have high hopes for Real Queer America: LGBT Stories from Red States (by Samantha Allen), Words No Bars Can Hold: Literacy Learning in Prison (Deborah Appleman), and No Visible Bruises: What We Don't Know About Domestic Violence Can Kill Us (Rachel Louise Snyder). (Plus I already know I'll be purchasing a copy of Nothing's Bad Luck: The Lives of Warren Zevon as a gift for someone!)

This is the second year that I have gotten this book and I am so appreciative of it! First of all it gives you a listing of the types of books, from both known and un-known authors, that you can expect during the year. This is a perfect way to make a TBR list and mark down when these books will be released so you can't miss them. Also included are highlights from some of the books so that you can read a sample beforehand ….. just enough to intrigue the reader …. and let us see what we will be most interested in, even allowing the opportunity to receive an ARC of some of the books. This is a reference that I keep returning to. Thanks so much to NetGalley, author and publisher for the opportunity to give an honest review of this book, which this has been. #BuzzBooks2019:Spring/Summer

I’ve been a fan of buzz books for a few years now. My list of books to be read after reading buzz book gets longer each time! The new titles are quite intriguing as I am thinking of reading some titles/books that I would not normally read in faction. I am excited about the nonfiction titles and can’t wait to read the book as soon as it comes out. An interesting assortment of new books are coming!

Another great selection of excerpts in this Spring/Summer Buzz Books 2019. There are so many that i hope to read in due course and i would, if i had my way, read the majority of them. The books that i would love to add to my shelf would be 'The Guest Book, The Last Time I saw You, A Nearly Normal Family, The Snakes, Deep River The Confessions of Frannie Langton and The Long Flight Home. There are others that i would also love to read, but all depends on whether i could squeeze another few books on to my ever growing pile of books.
February 2, 2019
I enjoy the Buzz Books Excerpts. They provide a good look at some of the upcoming publications for this year. I like that the book is divided into three main categories: fiction, commercial fiction, and non-fiction. There are 44 substantial excerpts- surely enough to let you know whether you want to read more by the author.
I have added quite a few to my TBR pile. Now I am just waiting for publication dates. Thank-you Publisher Lunch for offering this book to entice us.
I received an Advanced Reader’s Copy from Publisher Lunch via Netgalley and these are my own opinions.

This is a great resource for new books soon to be published. There are over 40 excerpts from several different genres ranging from new fiction from existing authors to debut authors to short stories and nonfiction. This is a fantastic way to sample these books and determine definitively if you want to read more. In my case, I have added several more books to my already large “to read” list.
January 16, 2019
Do not read this or any of the excerpts of so many exciting new titles due imminently for publication if you do not want to add as many as I have to my ‘to read’ list.
Some titles previously bypassed by me have been given a second glance and now been added to my reading pile..
Such an excellent little publication to help readers decide what fantastic books are out there on the radar.

My reading preferences are not diversified enough for this book to be of value to me. Now if a publication came out with good, clean Christian writers' books, I would love that. At first I found the layout to be confusing on the Kindle. I can see how this "catalog" would be helpful to those who read all types of books.

What's Coming
I love to see what new books are coming in the next season.
It is especially thrilling to read snippets of the upcoming stories.
The only problem is that you have to wait before you can read the
whole story.
