paperbackstash's review
Buzz books is a great way to sample upcoming books and sample what you may be interested. 16 Debut Novels, among dozens of others from authors who already one or more books released. Besides telling the plot of upcoming fiction, I appreciate the preview samplers so I can test whether the writing fits me or not before plunging in. Divided into Part One: Fiction; Part Two: Debut Fiction; Part Three: Non-Fiction. They also have a YA Line that is released each year. Both of these are free Read Now Features on Netgalley.

I adore this publication and make sure to read each and every one as soon as it's available to me. It's an invaluable tool for finding new and upcoming books and has all links ready for you to request your chosen reads on NetGalley.
I really appreciate the samplers that are included in each Buzz Books release as it helps you to choose your future reads - you have a pretty good idea as to whether you will enjoy the book based on the excerpts.

I really love these samplers--usually--because it's a great way to find not only new books by authors I already like, but to find new books I might have otherwise not heard of.
This one was kind of a let down for me, though. I normally come out of reading one of these with anywhere from 5-15 books I've added to my TBR, or have made a note to look up after release. Of those, I buy a few (or, sometimes, almost all of them), and check out the rest from the library.
But with this one, I only came out of it with one book I definitely want to read ([b:We're Going to Need More Wine: Stories That Are Funny, Complicated, and True|34884359|We're Going to Need More Wine Stories That Are Funny, Complicated, and True|Gabrielle Union|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1503004181s/34884359.jpg|56136466] by Gabrielle Union), and seven that I might be interested in, but almost certainly won't buy unless I find them used or on sale.
The others I'll probably look for at the library and such were [b:Fever|34273721|Fever|Deon Meyer|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1492790509s/34273721.jpg|52017495] by Deon Meyer, [b:Little Fires Everywhere|34273236|Little Fires Everywhere|Celeste Ng|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1490351351s/34273236.jpg|52959357] by Celeste Ng (this one I'll definitely keep an eye out for), [b:The Black Painting|34888106|The Black Painting|Neil Olson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1492607325s/34888106.jpg|56141918] by Neil Olsen, [b:Sourdough|33916024|Sourdough|Robin Sloan|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1490804609s/33916024.jpg|51600167] by Robin Sloan, [b:Stay with Me|32969150|Stay with Me|Ayobami Adebayo|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1481563711s/32969150.jpg|52027766] by Ayobami Adebayo, [b:Seven Days of Us|33357622|Seven Days of Us|Francesca Hornak|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1499074945s/33357622.jpg|54097363] by Francesca Hornak, and [b:The Inner Life of Animals: Love, Grief, and Compassion - Surprising Observations of a Hidden World|35697904|The Inner Life of Animals Love, Grief, and Compassion - Surprising Observations of a Hidden World|Peter Wohlleben|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1500356347s/35697904.jpg|57189746] by Peter Wohlleben. A few of those were on my radar before I read the excerpt, and I was hoping to be more excited by them, but I'm still on the fence.
So, I think these samplers are always very useful, and I love them in general, but this particular one didn't really have many books I'm interested in, and only one I'm looking forward to reading.

This is the Adult preview for Fall/Winter 2017, you can see my review of the Young Adult one here.
This is split into three sections - there are 15 Fiction, 16 Debut Fiction, and 9 Non-Fiction books sampled. Each book gets a decent sample (Kindle estimates were between 5 and 20 minutes each). At the end of most, there's an option to request the full ARC, some are pre-approved.

Of the 15 above, 6 caught my eye enough to either put them on my TBR or request the full ARC - The Immortalists, about a group of siblings who go to see a fortune teller who can supposedly predict death dates; The Child Finder, about a woman who went missing as a child and can now locate missing children; Future Home of the Living God - one of the most intriguing previews I've ever read. A woman is pregnant and writing to her unborn baby, but something very odd is going on - evolution appears to be going backwards, and the baby is not as expected. The Twelve-Mile Straight, about a woman who gives birth to two babies - one black, one white. A man is blamed and put to death, this focuses on the aftermath and consequences. In Hanna who Fell from the Sky, a young girl prepares for her 18th birthday in the polygamous community she was born into- she is due to be married off to someone chosen for her. Finally, Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng, about a troubled child and family relationships.

I've already come across a few of these (Good Me, Bad Me; The Girlfriend; The End of the World Running Club,) - one to watch here is The Woman in the Window, due to become a film. It's about an agoraphobic woman who witnesses a crime in the house across the street. Also intriguing is The Blind - about a psychologist who begins to work with a patient nobody else will touch, but nobody knows why he's there.

In this section, only Gabrielle Union's book jumped out at me, the rest didn't really grab me. The Inner Life of Animals could be a really interesting read too - it looks at emotions in animals.
Overall, I want to read 11 of the 40. This was a really enjoyable book, I can't wait for the Spring ones to be released!
This is the Adult preview for Fall/Winter 2017, you can see my review of the Young Adult one here.
This is split into three sections - there are 15 Fiction, 16 Debut Fiction, and 9 Non-Fiction books sampled. Each book gets a decent sample (Kindle estimates were between 5 and 20 minutes each). At the end of most, there's an option to request the full ARC, some are pre-approved.

Of the 15 above, 6 caught my eye enough to either put them on my TBR or request the full ARC - The Immortalists, about a group of siblings who go to see a fortune teller who can supposedly predict death dates; The Child Finder, about a woman who went missing as a child and can now locate missing children; Future Home of the Living God - one of the most intriguing previews I've ever read. A woman is pregnant and writing to her unborn baby, but something very odd is going on - evolution appears to be going backwards, and the baby is not as expected. The Twelve-Mile Straight, about a woman who gives birth to two babies - one black, one white. A man is blamed and put to death, this focuses on the aftermath and consequences. In Hanna who Fell from the Sky, a young girl prepares for her 18th birthday in the polygamous community she was born into- she is due to be married off to someone chosen for her. Finally, Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng, about a troubled child and family relationships.

I've already come across a few of these (Good Me, Bad Me; The Girlfriend; The End of the World Running Club,) - one to watch here is The Woman in the Window, due to become a film. It's about an agoraphobic woman who witnesses a crime in the house across the street. Also intriguing is The Blind - about a psychologist who begins to work with a patient nobody else will touch, but nobody knows why he's there.
PART THREE: NON-FICTION

In this section, only Gabrielle Union's book jumped out at me, the rest didn't really grab me. The Inner Life of Animals could be a really interesting read too - it looks at emotions in animals.
Overall, I want to read 11 of the 40. This was a really enjoyable book, I can't wait for the Spring ones to be released!
