Of all the books set to be released, I was not really impressed with the selected excerpts. The best part is the bibliography at the beginning. Valuable for creating my "to buy" list for collection development.

** Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with the digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review **
Para todos los que amamos la lectura, es una gran oportunidad poder leer los adelantos de los libros que se vienen. Ademas hay un listado completo por categorías que es muy útil. Esta disponible solo en ingles, pero si mas o menos manejan el idioma, y como es un adelanto, se puede leer perfectamente. Se vienen cosas muy interesantes, me encontré con sorpresas. No desaprovechen la oportunidad, hay libros muy interesantes, y creo que todos podemos encontrar al menos uno que nos guste. Ademas brinda la oportunidad de poder explorar libros de otras categorías que tal vez no leemos habitualmente. Como dije, es una gran oportunidad tener disponibles estos adelantos de las novedades de libros.

I love this concept. Reading excerpts from anticipated books and then deciding if you're interested in reading the whole thing.
This book was much shorter than I anticipated and am definitely excited to ready some of the books included.
I love, love, love, Buzz Books

As always, a huge list of books to come and a few extracts to whet your appetite.
I always enjoy seeing the samplers in Buzz Books as they’re not always books I’d think about picking up. Some work better than others.
From the extracts given here, Scars Like Wings and Home Girl are looking good. The long list of books to be published is a favourite as I can start to plan my reading!
Thanks to NetGalley for the advance copy.

Some of these books were definitely not my thing but I’m glad I got to read extracts from I’m not dying with you tonight & dear Haiti, love Alaine because they were both on my TBRs already! And it’s also convinced me to want to read scars like wings so all good :)

A fantastic collection featuring previews of upcoming YA books.
LEGACY AND THE QUEEN by Annie Matthew & Kobe Bryant
available now, published in the US September 3rd
A Tennis fantasy!! Not only that, but a tennis fantasy co-written by one of the most successful and well-known sportspeople of my generation. This is the story of twelve-year-old Nova, her desire to compete in a prestigious tennis tournament and capture the attention of the Queen. I really enjoyed this extract, I didn't think I'd like it at all but I was hooked by a likeable main character and a good story.
THE LAST TRUE POETS OF THE SEA by Julia Drake
published October 1st
Inspired by Twelfth Night, this is a tale about a young woman trying to locate the shipwreck that brought her and her brother to the town their great-great-great-grandmother founded. I really, really loved this excerpt, I would definitely read this in its entirety.
CORAL by Sara Ella
published November 12th
Coral is a sixteen-year-old mermaid. She fears that she has been afflicted by the human-spread "Disease" - causing her to feel emotions, unlike her merfolk. When her world collides with seventeen-year-old Brooke, who lives on the surface, everything changes. I loved the writing in this one and really connected with Coral from the start. I would read this one in full.
I'M NOT DYING WITH YOU TONIGHT by Kimberly Jones & Gilly Segal
published August 6th
Lena and Campbell are from different backgrounds. When they are thrown together one night after chaos erupts at a football game, they need to figure out how to help each other. This excerpt was sharp, witty and engaging - another one to add to my ever-growing TBR pile.
DEAR HAITI, LOVE ALAINE by Maika Moulite & Maritza Moulite
published September 3rd
Following "the incident", seventeen-year-old Alaine finds herself shipped off to Haiti to participate in a Summer project. While she's there, she gets to explore her family's history for the first time. I had heard about this book before, and was granted access to an ARC, so I'm really looking forward to it - it's an epistolary novel (told through letters/e-mails and other forms of communication) which I love.
HARVEY COMES HOME by Colleen Nelson, Illustrations by Tara Anderson
published September 19th
A runaway West Highland Terrier named Harvey inspires many different people, including a young volunteer at a retirement home and a bitter resident struggling to cope with memory loss. I always feel like someone will slap me if I say I'm not keen on books featuring inspirational animals, but they're just not something I enjoy - clearly I have no soul because this sounds lovely, and people seem to be very excited about it going by Goodreads, it's just not for me.
SCARS LIKE WINGS by Erin Stewart
published October 1st
When Ava Lee survived a fire, she lost her family and home, and suffered horrific facial injuries. Now it's time to get back into some kind of normal routine, but she needs to figure out where she belongs in the world and how to cope with her losses. This is recommended for fans of Girl in Pieces which unfortunately I didn't enjoy. However, the writing style in this is exactly the kind of stuff that appeals to me - Ava is witty, snappy and she's really likeable from the get go. I care about her story and I would like to read it in full.
HOME GIRL by Alex Wheatle
available now, published in the US September 3rd
From a Children's Book Award winner comes the story of Naomi, a child who has grown up fast in the UK foster care system. Straight away I'm reminded of My Name is Leon by Kit de Waal, which almost broke me (totally worth it). I immediately loved Naomi and her spirited personality, and I want to read more, so I've just requested this from my local library.
There we go - eight fantastic upcoming YA novels for you to add to your reading list! The ones I'm most excited to read are:
