Description

Buzz Books gives you 40 chances to find your next great reads, providing exclusive early looks at the next big thing from favorite authors and hot new discoveries. At the end of most excerpts, you will find a link to the full galley on NetGalley!

From bestselling authors we have samples of new work from Barbara Kingsolver, Diane Chamberlain and Jude Devereaux, who breaks away from romance with her first mystery.

A rich selection of highly anticipated follow-up books is inside too: Sarah Perry’s Melmoth, a companion to The Essex Serpent; Elizabeth McCracken’s Bowlaway; and Leif Enger’s Virgil Wander.

This edition is packed with 16 big debut novels, including the highly-touted The Silent Patient by British screenwriter Alex Michaelides, already being adapted to film and posed to become an international bestseller, and Kathy Wang’s Family Trust, described as The Nest set in Silicon Valley.

In nonfiction, bestselling novelist and history author Stephen L. Carter writes about his grandmother in Invisible: The Forgotten Story Of The Black Woman Lawyer Who Took Down America’s Most Powerful Mobster. Journalist Stephanie Land describes her poverty-ridden early years in Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, And A Mother’s Will To Survive, a Book Expo Buzz Editor’s Panel pick. Memoirs on two opposite ends of the spectrum include My Own Devices by rap singer Dessa and Witness: Lessons From Elie Wiesel’s Classroom by Ariel Burger.

Regular readers know that each Buzz Books collection is filled with early looks at titles that will go on to top the bestseller lists and critics' "best of the year" lists. And our comprehensive seasonal preview starts the book off with a curated overview of hundreds of notable books on the way later this year.

While Buzz Books feels like your own insider access to book publishing, these collections are meant to be shared, so spread your enthusiasm and "to be read" picks online. For still more great previews, check out our separate Buzz Books 2018: Young Adult Fall/Winter as well.

Finally, don’t miss our popular Buzz Books Monthly editions, available on Amazon, iBooks, and NetGalley, for up-to-the-minute monthly publication lists and excerpts.

These editions are amazing! They keep me prepared and I love that I have a chance to read samples of amazing books that are yet to come!

Another great Buzz Book! I love that I can get a sample of some pretty exciting books so that I can decide which ones to add to my tbr and which ones I plan to feature on my blog. I am really looking forward to checking out Jude Deveraux's first mystery!

This collection of 2018 Fall/Winter Buzz Books is *LIT*! The excerpts are served in generous portions. They are larger than appetizer size, and more like a small plate size that leaves you wishing that it came as an entire entree. The samples made me crave so many of the books, and I devoured them like a starving bookworm. The carefully curated selections are offerings for audiences and genres in all shapes and sizes. I am especially looking forward to The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides, Family Trust by Kathy Wang, The 7 ½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton, Cross Her Heart by Sarah Pinborough, Lies by T.M Logan, Leave No Trace by Mindy Mejia, and Liane Moriarty’s new book. The Fall/Winter 2018 Publishing Preview list also tempts you with tantalizing titles and leaves you interested in many more upcoming books. Thank you for this great edition!

Just as we are planning our beach reads for the summer, along comes Buzz Books 2018: Fall/Winter by Publishers Lunch to entice us with fall and winter titles. A great number of excerpts are found here: 20 fiction titles, 16 debut fiction titles and 4 nonfiction titles. Also, the fall/winter publishing preview lists hundreds of titles with publication dates sorted in 4 categories: fiction, debut fiction, commercial fiction and nonfiction. This is a great tool for anyone interested in the world of books.

Thank you NetGalley for letting me read this for an honest review.

I admit I had no idea books like that existed and I LOVE IT! So many books, so many authors, some I already knew, new ones... At the end of every sample you can find a few lines about the author. I like getting to know the author, where they're coming from... And more info : ebook price, publication date... everything you need to know!
I love reading summaries and samples of books then want to read them all! I'm not kidding, they all look so good to me! And you find different categories, different types.

I will read other buzz books for sure, it's that good! When you're a book addict, you just want to read everything, especially when they look interesting!
Thank you! I now have a new list of all the books I want to read!

I loved reading the excerpts of several of the books and my TBR list grew exponentially. I've already requested several of the novels. I'm excited for these books to come out into the world to discuss with other readers.

My TBR list takes a hit again! I love these previews of upcoming releases - not only are there some great books, but the collection is always a reliable predictor of the upcoming trends in fiction. Stellar as always!

I've spent my evening going through the most recent Buzz Books, and this one in particular blew my reading stack to oblivion. At this point, I'll never dig my way out, but if you're going to be buried, under a pile of books seems most desirable, am I right? Without this edition, I might not know about Eli Weisel's biography coming out! Now I have it to read, and I couldn't be more thrilled (Eli Weisel, people!!!). And as usual, the excerpts were so helpful in guiding me towards the books that would be a good fit for me. Thanks again, Buzz Books!

Holy cow!! Fall and winter can't get here fast enough! There are so many awesome books coming out then! I requested way too many from here and then wrote the rest down to look for later! What a great way to get a taste of what is coming up in books! Run and grab this wonderful collection of new books you are going to want to request just like me!

This is the most buzzy of buzzes! This publication is available through NetGalley or you can access it at Amazon. It is absolutely worth looking at. Among the exciting things to mention for the fall season ...Jodi Picoult, Tana French, Barbara Kingsolver and Kate Atkinson all have novels coming out. They and so many others are listed in this Book Buzz. It will be a great season for reading!

Was this review helpful?

Great selection of books! I enjoy finding about the debut authors especially as they can sometimes get lost in the midst of new releases. Nice length for the excepts too, not so long that you feel like you’ve read the whole book but long enough to decide if you would like to know more.

Was this review helpful?

I love the Buzz Books previews since they give me a great idea of books I may want to review, or have reviewed, in a later season. It's great to have fairly lengthy excerpts of a few chapters to get an idea of the author's writing style and what the book is about. Thanks for listing the publicist's name and email at the end of each. As a librarian who selects popular materials, I'm also appreciative of the opportunity to preview the books our patrons will be asking about in the fall.

This was quite a comprehensive preview of many amazing novels that I look forward to researching, sharing, and reading. If you are an avid reader, this guide will help you select many diverse new books to add to your reading list.

I could not get over the amount of books previewed in this book. So many great books to look forward to reading! Definitely helping me get my TBR titles together! I highly recommend!

Was this review helpful?

Buzz Books 2018 has 2 components - each of which make it invaluable, perhaps for different audiences, but I'm sure the Venn diagram of readers interested in both shows a significant cross-section of readers. The first component of Buzz Books 2018 is a fall-winter publishing preview, with release dates, of: (a) certain literary fiction, with sublists for "highly anticipated" and emerging voices, (b) debut fiction, (c) commercial fiction, and (d) certain nonfiction, with sublists for politics & current events, social issues, science and technology, history and crime, essays criticism and more, As someone who follows most anticipated lists closely, I still augmented my TBR by at least ten titles I hadn't known were scheduled for 2018 release, thanks to this publication. No, it's not a comprehensive list of all pubs, but it is broad and deep, nonetheless.

Second, Buzz Books 2018 (Fall & Winter) includes excerpts from a range of anticipated publications, including the following: Arikawa's The Travelling Cat Chronicles, Deveraux's A Willing Murder, Kingsolver's Unsheltered (my favorite), Mosley's John Woman, Adjei-Brenyah's Friday Black, Kochai's 99 Nights in Logar, and Carter's Invisible: The Forgotten Story of the Black, Woman Lawyer Who Took Down America's Most Powerful Mobster. Read what interests you; skip those that don't. In any event, Buzz Books 2018 (Fall and Winter) is worth perusing for all readers interested in upcoming releases.

Thank you for an ARC of this Buzz Book in return for my honest review .

I have been trying not to add anything else to my reading wish list on NetGalley but this Buzzbook just ruined that notion entirely! I highly recommend this read as a great sampler of soon to be realised books covering a number of genres. I am very excited by a number of the excerpts and very grateful for the samples of each book provided . I can’t wait to start reading some of these and to see the next seasons Buzzboosks.

Was this review helpful?

Wow. Lots of reading here. I've been reading most of the afternoon and though I got through quite a few of the excerpts (the ones I thought would appeal to me), I'm not even halfway through!

Being in the UK some of them might not be available to me (at an affordable cost) when they are published but there are a few I will look out for.

I've enjoyed a few Diane Chamberlain books in the past and I'm sure The Dream Daughter will be on my list.

I was intrigued by Daughter of a Daughter of a Queen but I'm not sure when or if that will be published in the UK. I do hope it will be. I think I would also like to read The Boy at the Keyhole. I'll need to look out for news of that one.

I don't often read short stories but there was something about the Friday Black excerpt that made me want to read more despite the fact it is a kind of horrific tale.of consumerism at it's worst.

No doubt over the next week I'll find many more titles to look out for. Thank you.

Thank you so much for posting these to look through. It introduces me to books I may not pick up before and gives me a chance to get a taste for what's to come later this year. It gets me so excited! I wouldn't have known about these otherwise.

Another release full of great excepts and information. You honestly cannot go wrong giving this a read. I love being able to use the excerpts to decide whether to pursue a book in the future as you don't always know from the synopsis alone. Genuinely, a resource I would miss were it to stop!

There are going to be a lot of good releases this upcoming fall/winter 2018, in the realm of both fiction and nonfiction. I am especially excited for several, including Hiro Arikawa's The Travelling Cat Chronicles (which looks to be both sweet and heartbreaking), Sarah Bird's Daughter of a Daughter of a Queen (which was already on my TBR list), Stuart Turton's The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle (which looks to be thrilling and exciting). Can't wait to read these titles - and more!

I found the fall/winter Book Buzz extremely helpful. I am not going to be traveling to NY for bookcon this year, so this was helpful to see what is coming out later this year.

I absolutely love these Buzz book teasers. It always puffs up to TBR list and the samplers included are good enough to give you a taste of an author’s writing style and make you take a chance on a writer you may have otherwise ignored. So I hope they never stop with these and here is what I’m adding to my list for Fall/Winter.

Fiction

Haruki Murikami Killing Commendatore Oct. 9
Esi Edugyan Washington Black Sept. 18
Chigozie Obiama An Orchestra of Minorities Jan. 8, 2019

Oyinkan Brathwaite My Sister, the Serial Killer

Nonfiction

Special notes. There are two books that were contained within this buzz but I didn't list them because I have already read them. They are
John Woman by Walter Mosley and My Mother, Barack Obama, Donald Trump And The Last Stand of the Angry White Man: An Autobiography of America. Both were outstanding! Pub date for both is Sept. 4.

The book I'm most anticipating is Michelle Obama. And I'm eager to see how Carol Anderson follows up on White Rage with her new offering.

The Air You Breathe by Frances De Pontes Peebles

Welcome to Paradise by Elin Hilderbrand

A Spark of Light by Jodi Picoult

Was this review helpful?

An exciting array of novels and nonfiction titles are slated for the 2018 Fall/Winter season. Among the stories I look forward to sharing with co-workers, friends, and library patrons include Mark Dery's new biography of celebrated illustrator Edward Gorey; Michelle Obama's memoir, Becoming; an English translation of The Travelling Cat Chronicles by Hiro Arikawa; and the Civil War drama, Daughter of a Daughter of a Queen by Sarah Bird. I'm also intrigued to see how Jude Deveraux, bestselling romance novelist, fares with her first mystery, A Willing Murder. Examinations of the American political landscape continue to provide much food for thought. Neil deGrasse Tyson and Avis Lang partner in an exploration of the ties that bind astrophysics and the military. Between follow-ups to previous releases, debut authors, and the range of nonfiction, you won't have much time for anything else. What a wonderful "problem" to have.

Fall is usually “big” book season and this year is no exception. There are familiar and well-loved authors coming out with new books, but there are also intriguing books by debut authors. The lengthy book excerpts along with the list of upcoming titles that Buzz Books provide are a great resource for planning, reading, and reviewing upcoming books. A great preview and lots of books to be excited about!

A useful book for someone looking to get a head start on things to read for the upcoming half of the year. I personally only a found a few standouts for me but I believe that reflects more on my tastes and less on the quality of the stories found within.

The Publishers Lunch Buzz Books are always fun. There's fiction from several genres as well as non-fiction. Each excerpt has a good summary of the work and some background information about the author to give a fair idea of whether or not this might interest you.

This edition is for books due to be published roughly between September 2018 and February 2019 (the dates I remember seeing - I haven't checked each one).

If the books are available on NetGalley for review, there is a direct link to click to request the book from a Kindle.

There are many Buzz Books publications for various seasons, genres, months - and they're all Read Now on NetGalley or on the Publishers Lunch website.

I got mine from NetGalley, (so thanks, NetGalley), but if you'd like to read one yourself and aren't a NetGalley reader, find a free download here: http://buzz.publishersmarketplace.com/

Enjoy whetting your appetite!

I was so very excited to see that Haruki Murakami, one of my favorite authors is releasing a new book this fall!!! I am hoping it comes to NetGalley, though I will buy it anyhow just because it is Murakami!! I did find at least one other book that was available to request on NetGalley!

What a tantalizing and tempting compendium of the pick of new titles for late 2018. With descriptions and a generous extract chapter of each book, plus a link to request most of them here on Netgalley there's enough material here to tease your taste buds for hours. There's a great cross section from established authors and some great sounding debut novels as well as a smattering of non fiction. This is the essential companion for book lovers everywhere.

Buzz Books 2018: Fall/Winter is a great resource for reviewers and readers looking for their next great read!

Containing Publishers Lunch’s guesses for the most popular books in the coming months, this book is an invaluable asset for bloggers, reviewers, booksellers and librarians. This is my first look at a Buzz Books and I can’t believe what I missed. This issue contains 20 fiction, 16 debuts and 4 non-fiction books. Each contains a short summary, an excerpt and publishing information with a link on most to request the book on NetGalley.

I enjoyed the opportunity to preview books outside my usual genres. I requested 2 books and wished for 1 on NetGalley. I downloaded 1 for a publisher for which I am autoapproved. I also requested 1 on Edelweiss that wasn’t available on NetGalley. Overall, I spent a pleasant evening finding books. The only downside is my TBR pile is digitally overflowing from my bookshelf to the floor—but that’s a good thing, right? 5 stars!

Thanks to Publishers Lunch and NetGalley for a copy.

There are lots of great books to look forward to coming out in in the fall/winter!

I am most looking forward to The Shadows We Hide by Allen Eskens. I am also looking forward to Sea Prayer by Khaled Hosseini, Unsheltered by Barbara Kingsolver, Good Riddance by Elinor Lipman, We Are That Young by Preti Taneja, Look Alive Twenty-Five by Janet Evanovich, We Fed an Island by Jose Andres, and Lab Rats: How Silicon Valley Made Work Miserable for the Rest of Us by Dan Lyons. I will also be picking up the new books from favorite authors such as John Grisham, Elin Hilderbrand, Anthony Horowitz, and Liane Moriarty.

I always look forward to these Buzz Books!

Love these Buzz compilations of books as a great way to find titles to add to a collection, to my TBR pile, and to talk up with patrons and colleagues. Having a brief selection from each title is so helpful, since sometimes covers and blurbs don't really capture the true flavor of the book. Also, these are a great way to find new authors to read.

What a spectacular edition of Book Buzz by Publishers Launch. It is for the Fall/Winter edition. There are way too many books, good books at that, it is impossible to list them all here. Trying to go through the samples, one by one, would also take forever to discuss in this forum. Be assured that you will want to go through this book page by page, unless you don't want to add any books to your "To Be Read" list. Yes, mine increased dramatically. I just couldn't resist. Some of them were by well known authors like Michael Connelly, Sarah Pinborough, Jodi Picoult, Walter Mosley, Joe Ide, Khaled Hosseini, Anne Rice and Neil deGrasse Tyson just to name a few. There are a bunch of new authors are making their debut that look very exciting. There is a whole slew of non fiction political books that I personally will pass on but if that's your jam, there is lots of choice. The rest of the non fiction selections are varied and look so interesting. The book excerpts really introduced me to books that weren't on my radar, from authors I wasn't familiar with. Of course, some I already had on my TBR list but getting to read a bit is like having one square of chocolate. Can't wait to eat the whole bar! With the ones I wasn't familiar with I had a chance to get a sense of the author's writing style, a better feel as to whether or not I would enjoy the novel and too many of them were too good to pass up on. This will be an exciting fall/winter season if this is but a selection of what is being offered. Thank you to Netgalley and Publishers Launch for a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

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 - Paris Echo by Sebastian Faulks, The Air You Breathe by Frances de Pontes Peebles and The Traveling Cat Chronicles by Hiro Arikawa, Thanks NetGalley and all the publishers for providing a much-anticipated window into fall/winter 2018.

I always jump at the opportunity to download the latest Buzz Books. The Fall/Winter 2018 edition comes packed with interesting selections. I was already looking forward to Sara Perry's "Melmoth", and there is also an excerpt for the upcoming Barbara Kingsolver novel. My greatest discovery from this edition was "The Traveling Cat Chronicles" by Hiro Arikawa; it is a first-person account from the point of view of a cat and as soon as I was done reading the excerpt, I requested the galley because I loved its originality!

What a fabulous book! It not only gives the authors’ names and titles, it states date of publication so you can plan on grabbing your favorites when they are published. Even better are the excerpts from books included in this preview type book.

I have read most of the excerpts thus introducing me to new authors. There is fiction, non-fiction, debut authors and I have already noted several books I plan to get. Why didn’t I know about Buzz Books before?!

Invaluable for the avid reader and will serve as a good reference for upcoming publications with my favorite authors.

Some of the books I have already noted for the to-read list are:

Lies by T.M. Logan. It sounds intriguing. “What if your whole life was based on lies…..” Perfect life, perfect wife then in one shattering moment you discover nothing is as it seems. The excerpt had me reeled in immediately.

Freefall by Jessica Barry is another one that had me completely absorbed. I wish the excerpt was longer, I may have to buy it immediately. This one involves a plane crash and how our main character will try and survive. It starts off fast paced and I can’t wait to get it.

The Red Address Book by Sofia Lundberg will be a sad tale. An old women of 96 years will recount her life using her treasured red address book. It was a gift from her father and holds her contacts and stories from her life. Now she will document her life for her great niece Jenny. I think this one will be very good. Since I was a surprise baby for my parents I grew up around much older people. I’ve always loved listening to ancient relatives tell about their lives. That’s how I ended up researching family history because they had such interesting stories to tell; they lived in times I only read about. Elderly people are too often dismissed in my opinion but they have wonderful stories and memories.

Well, I went on a tangent on that one, didn’t I? 

The Boy at the Keyhole by Stephen Giles sounds like a Rebecca type novel. Nine-year old Samuel lives alone at a once great estate in Surrey with his family’s housekeeper, Ruth. His father is dead and his mother has been abroad for five months, purportedly tending to her late husband’s faltering business. Samuel only receives postcards from her and maps put her travels in an atlas, but he clearly wants her to come home. From the excerpt I can’t decide if Ruth is good or not. Looks like a good mystery.

There are many more books that piqued my interest but that was a quick highlight. In the future I will most certainly look for a copy of Buzz Books so I can plan my reading.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with a complimentary copy. My enthusiastic opinions are my own and I was not compensated for this review.

I love seeing what will coming out in the future. I make my list. Added 22 new titles from this Buzz Book issue.
What I especially appreciate are the samples from titles I might not otherwise pick up. For example, "The Traveling Cat Chronicles". I read this excerpt one night when I couldn't sleep. It was just enough to captivate and hook me. Now that title is on my list for Fall.

Ditto for "Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and, a Mother's Will to Survive" I've got to read the rest of her story.

Thank you for these little appetizers of books to come. I'm ready for the main dish!

Was this review helpful?

This was my first Buzz Books and what an amazing opportunity to read snippets of upcoming books for Fall/Winter 2018.
It is broken down into two sections. The first section of Buzz books is a preview that includes the release dates of Fiction and Non-Fiction works. Fictional works are broken down in the following categories; Highly Anticipated, Emerging Voices, Debut, and Commercial. Nonfiction works are dissected into the following categories; Politics and Current events, Social Issues, Science and Technology, History and Crime, Essays, Criticism and More, and Biography and Memoir.
Section two allows readers to read excerpts from a range of some of the most anticipated books of 2018. Featured excerpts include "The Travelling Cat Chronicles" by Hiro Arikawa, SarahBird's, "Daughter of a Daughter of a Queen", "Becoming Mrs. Lewis" by New York Times bestselling author Patti Callahan, Diane Chamberlain's, "the Dream Daughter", and Jude Deveraux's, "A Willing Murder."
Those are just the first five excerpts to read. The list continues with readings from authors, Lief Enger, Lisa Gabrielle, Stephen Giles, Lynne Hugo and best selling author, Barbara Kingsolver.
Sarah Perry's follow up to The Essex Serpent, "Melmoth", is debuted here giving us the feeling of a kid counting down the days until Christmas. Luckily we only have to wait until October for the entire book.
There are thrillers, historical fiction and just some really good books that don't need categorizing to wet our appetites.
Buzz Books is a blessing and a curse for some many of us bibliophiles. There are so many good books to read and so little time as our book list is growing all the time.
I received a copy of this from Netgalley. #Netgalley #BuzzBooks

I look forward to Buzz Books issues to give me an idea of books to anticipate in the coming season and to determine what I might want to read. This Fall/Winter issue is packed with intriguing reads and so much tlent. I can't wait! At first there is a listing of all Fiction and Non-Fiction books for the season - naturally the non-fiction is a small list compared to a huge listing of novels.

I already have copies of Dream Daughter by Diane Chamberlain, Melmoth by Sarah Perry, Virgil Wander by Leif Enger, and A Spark of Light by Jodi Picoult that I will be reading soon.

I have already read four great books for this season that I can recommend: Whiskey When We're Dry by John Larison, Ohio by Stephen Markley, The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton, and Lies by T. M. Logan. All are really good, but the last two are something special - I loved them both!

I see some favorite authors of mine have new offerings and I am anxious to read them all: Transcription by Kate Atkinson, Love Alive Twenty-Five by Janet Evanovich, The Witch Elm by Tana French, a new John Grisham and a new Liane Moriarty, Blood Communion by Anne Rice, and Elevation by Stephen King. I Cannot Wait!!

There were great excerpts of upcoming books that were all really very good. I found the excerpt from The Traveling Cat Chronicles by Hiro Arikawa absolutely charming and I have requested the full book. Becoming Mrs. Lewis by Patti Callahan looks really interesting and is based on C. S. Lewis' wife. Others I really think I would like are: Listen to the Marriage by John Jay Osborn, The Air You Breathe by Frances de Pontes Peebles, and John Woman by Walter Mosely.

Some debut novels I'd like to try from their excerpts are: Freefall by Jessica Barry, Family Trust by Kathy Wang, Alligator by Deb Spera, and The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides, and Little Comfort by Edwin Hill.
I'm so excited with this smorgasbord of great offerings!

Many thanks to Publishers Lunch BUZZ BOOKS through Netgalley for this great preview!

Excellent resource! I enjoy watching movie trailers to decide which films to watch and this is the same idea for books. I was pleased with the multitude of exciting choices as well as the generous length of many of the excerpts. I've found several books that I will read based on the Buzz Books list.

Love this Fall/Winter preview as it helps aid in creating a TBR list for the cooler months when I do most of my reading.

Summaries and sneak peaks help me better decide which titles are must reads.

A variety of great stories in all genres -- great way to get a peek at the newest works of your favorite authors, plus find new-to-you authors who match the genre and style which you enjoy reading!

Buzz books are great for learning about the new books coming out. I love the sneak peaks and how I can read snippets of the stories from both known and unknown authors. I love it. I will definitely be checking these out more from now on and choosing books from here. It’s much easier.

This was a great way to get a sense of some of the top books coming out soon. I loved being able to read the first chapter or two of each book picked to get a sense of the author's writing style and story!

Buzzbooks are very often some of my favorite books to review. I love getting little snippets of multiple books as I build my forever growing TBR pile. A few books that stuck out to me from this particular edition are:

The Travelling Cat Chronicles - Lets start with the cover! The cover is beautiful. from the light blue background to the bright white cat and fall leaves, it captivated me. It looks like a cozy fall read before you ever open the book.
I adore cats, so the idea of a cozy novel told through the eyes of a cat drew me in immediately. I would love to read this novel cover to cover and spend some time in the world of this cat as Arikawa sees it.


Daughter of a Daughter of a Queen - I honestly don't have much to say about this book. I knew I wanted to read it by the end of the description before I ever started the preview. A story about a slave woman secretly serving with the Buffalo Soldiers?! YES PLEASE


The Dream Daughter - This cover is insanely beautiful. Not to mention, right there on the cover it says "Diane Chamberlain" I will read literally anything the woman writes. I can hardly wait to get my hands on this one!

The Boy at the Keyhole - I am a sucker for a creeper read, which this promises to be. And creepy books about little kids are always creepier. Sign. Me. Up.


Listen to the Marriage - This book sounds intriguing. A failing marriage seen through therapy visits. Although, I must say, something about the writing style feels a little... suspect. I can't help but think there is a lot more going on than just a failing marriage and visits to a therapist. I can't wait to see what twists and turns are hiding in this one.

Cross Her Heart - Honestly, this is another one where just knowing the author was enough for me. A new Sarah Pinborough novel was all I needed to know that this story will keep me on the edge of my seat gnawing my nails off.

The Dinner List - Clearly this reading season is looking to be incredible because I am looking forward to more books than I felt on the fence about. The Dinner List looks magical. Its the classic "who would you have dinner with dead or alive" question answered in a novel. I can't wait to curl up with this on a rainy winter afternoon.

Freefall - This debut novel captured me from the first page. This is an author who knows how to convey a sense of urgency. I can't help but thing this will be a book that leaves readers gripping their novel till early hours of the morning because they can't quite set it down. I will absolutely be watching for this one to hit shelves in January.

Chariot on the Mountain - The second book featuring slavery that sucked me in was Chariot on the Mountain. This is probably top three in the books I am most excited to see come out. It promises to be very well written, well researched, historical fiction.

Witness - Come. On. Someone who interviewed Elie Wisel wrote a book!? This is going to be an amazing inspiring non fiction experience.



Seriously, if I took the time to detail every book that is coming out this season that looks incredible, this would be way too long to hold anyone's attention. Those are the books I am the most excited about. Fall/Winter in my experience, has always been the best season for new books and 2018 does not look like it will be disappointing. Happy reading everyone!

This book is full of excerpts for the upcoming winter season. Several new first time authors are included as well as a wider spread of voices like from India and Afghanistan. The excerpts are long enough to get a good feeling of the content and mor important ly the style and voice of the author. This makes it easy to decide which books Inwould like to read in full length.This Buzz Books are useful to make informed choices about what to read.

Another great edition from Publishers Lunch. I always find new books to read in these installments, and the fall/winter edition has me especially looking forward to House of Gold, Daughter of a Daughter of a Queen, 99 Nights in Logar, and The Red Address Book.

Thank you Net Galley and Publishers Lunch for providing a digital copy in exchange for an honest review.

Loved having this ebook. It was helpful to me because I am a "glutton" re books and always think I can read more than is possible for me. Therefore, this book helps me decide what books are going to be most enjoyable for me.

This edition of Buzz Books is the double stuffed oreos of sneaky peeks. From categories with long lists and publishing dates included the reader gets meaty previews in Fiction, Debut and Non-Fiction. Several of the titles I've had the pleasure to review already. Dream Daughter by Diane Chamberlain, Unsheltered by Barbara Kingsolver. In debut there are a few I keep hearing about like The Mermaid and Mrs. Hancock by Imogene Hermes Gowar , 99 Nights in Logar: A Novel by Jamil Jan Kochai and Aligator by Deb Spera.
In Nonfiction, one that I am looking forward to Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, And A Mother's Will To Survive by Stephanie Land.
You get more than a taste of what the authors have to offer

I always enjoy these previews and use them to put together my seasonal reading list. I'm giving this one 4 stars as I didn't find as many intriguing books as the summer version.
