While I love reading each Buzz Book edition, and find it to be a wonderful resource, I found this one lacking the same quality as the previous editions.
Of the excerpts included, the ones that stood out to me were:
The Gatekeepers by Jen Lancaster ISBN: 9780373212613
Watercross by Marie Lu ISBN: 9780399547966
All Things New by Lauren Miller ISBN: 9780998511115

Thank you to Netgalley, Publishers Lunch BUZZ BOOKS, Kathryn Berla, Jen Lancaster, Gregory Scott, Sara Holland, Kwame Alexander, Mary Rand Hess, Will Kostakis, Melissa Bashardoust, Jessica Pennington, Marie Lu, Tochi Onyebuchi, and Lauren Miller for the chance to read and review this ARC;
I am such a big fan of the Buzz Book previews, that give teachers, reviewers, and librarians the ability to place their fingers on the pulse of newest, bring up and comers about to drop into the scene. I love this volume, and it is my newest favorite of them.
I'm crazy interested and already looking most to get my hands on copies of Solo (by Hess & Alexander) given it's all written gloriously in evocative poetry, in Girls Made of Snow and Glass (by Bashardhoust) as a glorious gripping feminist retelling of the story of the well-beloved Snow White, and Warcross (Lu) who has taken the VR game land and given it a gripping new tale.
I can't wait to see, and all of these books, in the coming fall/winter!

paperbackstash's review
Buzz books is a great way to sample upcoming books and sample what you may be interested. The YA version focuses, of course, on YA. Unlike the general buzzfeeds, instead of being divided into three parts (Fiction, Debut and Non-fiction), there is no separation. The list of books is smaller but still plenty of synopsis and previews. Harlequin Teen was highly figured in this one. I’ll check some of these out, especially curious about Girls Made of Snow and Glass, a Snow White Retelling.

I have already read another Buzz Books YA this year, so I was excited to check out the new releases in fall and winter. However, this time, most samplers didn't really make me want to read more. The ones I really want to read are Everless and All Rights Reserved. I was also thinking about reading Girls Made of Snow and Glass, but after the sampler, not so much anymore. So it was still helpful in making my decisions.
I like the concept of Buzz Books very much and recommend it to anyone who wants a quick overview over upcoming releases and to find out which books to request/buy. I also like that there are many different genres and types of young adult books (I think there was also one written in free verse?) and both big and smaller publishers.

I'm normally not a person who reads books like this, but I'm glad I did. I found 3 books I really want to read. Besides the books that I want to read, were also a few books that I didn't like or even skipped. Those were not my type of books and I don't have a real intrest in reading them. But, I'm glad i read the two chapters of the 3 books that I've now added to my TBR. It's groing even bigger!

Title: Buzz Books 2017: Young Adult Fall/Winter: Exclusive Excerpts from Forthcoming Titles by Kwame Alexander, Jen Lancaster, Marie Lu, Marieke Nijkamp and More
Author: Publishers Lunch
Genre: Various
Rating: ****
Review: The buzz books collection is a collection of excerpts from upcoming authors and amazing authors with new books coming out. Some of these books I have ARC’s of but haven’t read yet. If you have read any of these books, I’d love for you to drop your thoughts in the comments section.
Solo by Kwame Alexander with Mary Rand Hess – Solo is a book that has caught my eye for a while now, so I was very excited to read the excerpt. We meet the protagonist Blade as he talks about his life, he talks a lot about Chapel his girlfriend who I believe for what he has said might be asexual as she seems to have no interest in those sorts of activities. He also talks about his father Rutherford who loves the spotlight as a musician. He talks about the lifestyle his father had with all the parties and how he used to make them laugh by drinking their booze as a small child but one night he accidently ingested some cocaine and ended up in hospital while his father was arrested. These opening pages were great, and I will definitely be reading this very soon.
Girls made of Snow and Glass by Melissa Bashardoust – Girls made of Snow and Glass is a reimagining of Snow White with strong feminist themes and possibly an f/f romance, so I was hooked from the blurb alone. We meet Lynet who is a princess who hates being treated as a delicate flower and almost immediately becomes enamoured with the new female palace surgeon. We also meet Mina, whose father is an alchemist and an outcast but when he saves Lynet’s life during her birth, he takes his daughter to live at court, but Mina doesn’t want to leave her house and Gregory reveals to her why she must follow his orders. Definitely a very gripping excerpt and I will be picking up the full novel as soon as I can.
The House at 758 by Kathryn Berla – In this excerpt we meet Krista who is grieving after the death of her mother almost a year after the actual event. Krista seems to be stuck in a phase of her life she can’t get out of, her father has moved on and left her to deal with these complex emotions by herself. As her best friend goes away for the summer Krista’s feeling of anxiety only get worse, but she is obsessed with a strange run down house number 758 for reasons she doesn’t reveal yet. However, in her grief Krista finds herself sinking to shop lifting in order to feel the way she did when her mother was alive. While the premise of this novel was good, and the writing is pretty good, it just didn’t really grab my attention enough for me to buy a copy of it.
Your One & Only by Adrianne Finlay – In Your one & only we Althea-310 who part of a series of 10 Althea clones made from genetic material of humans after the homo sapiens died out and the homo factus grew in number. Despite being identical to her sisters bare a single scar Althea-310 is quite the outcast until Jack arrives at school and he is a human like the originals. For the offset Jack is bullied and outcast by the other kids especially the Carson range who think they are better than everyone else, but they soon learn their lesson that humans are far more dangerous and vicious than they had ever seen before. I really liked this novel and will definitely be picking it up very soon.
Everless by Sara Holland – In this excerpt we are introduced to the land of Sempera and our protagonist Jules and in Sempera time itself is the currency of the land. If any of you have seen the move In Time this was the sort of vibe I was getting. Jules is trying to get time together in order to pay the Gerling family for the rent they owe but her father has been selling his time and doesn’t have long left to life. News of Lord Gerling’s wedding to Ina Gold, ward of the Queen spreads quickly and one of Jules’ friends Amma is heading to Everless a place Jules remembers. A place she and her father ran away from but when her father’s time is running out and they have bills and debts to pay Jules knows what she has to do to save her only family.
All Right Reserved by Gregory Scott Katsoulis – Now this is a book I have being seeing some rave reviews for, so I was really excited to get into this excerpt. So, in this world every word and gesture is copyrighted, patented or trademarked meaning people have to pay the Rights Holders so almost every word they use. We also meet our protagonist Speth, who is about to turn 15 and lose her free speech and as the seconds tick down she realises that she doesn’t like the system that everyone seems to accept so easily especially after she bumps into Beecher. Beecher used to be her best friend until he turned 15 and when she meets him a few years later on her 15th birthday he kisses her for which he receives an electric shock as he doesn’t have enough money to pay for this kiss, then commits suicide and I feel this will set Speth upon her path of silence. I was super intrigued by this novel and I can’t wait to read the rest of it.
The Sidekicks by Will Kostakis – In this excerpt we are introduced to Ryan, Harley and Miles who aren’t friends, but all were best friends with Isaac. The story opens with the boys learning about Isaac’s death in an accident, and things only gets darker from there. The boys break into Isaac’s locker to find a bag of cash while belongs to one of the other boys so there is a mystery surrounding that, but we also learn that Ryan might be gay. This novel really reminded me of Adam Silvera’s writing so I will definitely be picking it up soon.
The Gatekeepers by Jen Lancaster – So this book has been compared to 13 reasons why by Jay Asher but centres around a small town where one teen suicide turns into several teen suicides. We are introduced to Mallory an extremely sporty young woman just living her normal life although she does seem rather obsessed especially about her diet. While not a lot happens in this excerpt the premise about a group who get together to try and prevent the large amount of teen suicides happening in their town really intrigued me.
Warcross by Marie Lu – Now, I actually one an ARC of Warcross but haven’t picked it up yet so this was a critical excerpt for me. So, according to the blurb Warcross is a game and Emika Chen is a hacker who hunts down people who bet illegally on the game only to end a part of it, colour me interested. We follow Emika as she takes down an illegal better only to learn that she won’t get the payment because someone else phoned in the call before her leaving her with minimal money and one hell of a grudge. This is one of the best excerpts I have read in a long time and as a massive fan of Lu’s legend trilogy I will definitely pick Warcross up very soon.
All Things New by Lauren Miller – This story follows Jessa Gray who suffers with panic attacks, points for mental health rep. On her way to a new year’s party she fights with her boyfriend Wren who really doesn’t understand what it like to date someone with anxiety. After calming down, she tries to find Wren only to discover him in bed with a girl called Lex instead of confronting them she runs away to go home and gets in a car accident. This novel was really gripping from the offset and this is a must read for me.
Before I Let Go by Marieke Nijkamp – Again, I own an ARC of Before I let go but have not picked it up yet story of my life, right? So, this is Corey’s story as she returns home to Lost Creek, Alaska after her best friend Kyra died in a supposed accident, but Corey smells something suspicious about Kyra’s death from the second she heard about it. After returning to Lost Corey knows things are different and strange but the strangest thing is that she is seeing and hearing Kyra all around and I have a feeling that this novel will have a story paranormal element to go along with the mystery element and I will be picking this up soon – I feel as though I am repeating myself but hey I try.
Beasts Made of Night by Tochi Onyebuchi – This is another book I have seen around a lot and never read so I was excited to learn what it was about. This novel is set in the city of Kos where mages can magically call forth sin from a sinner in the form of sin-beasts—lethal creatures spawned from feelings of guilt. Taj is the most talented of the aki, young sin-eaters indentured by the mages to slay the sin-beasts and I was very intrigued by the blurb alone. We learn that when aki kill sin-beast, the image of the beast is forever marked on their skin. The aki are outcast from their society because of their gift but it is a gift needed. So, when Taj is called to the palace to eat the sin of a royal when another aki Jai failed he knows he is in for a challenge. The hype about this book is right and I will have to buy it very soon.
Love Songs & Other Lies by Jessica Pennington – So from the blurb this is a novel about Virginia Miller also known as Vee, a summer romance and second chances. It seems like your typical YA contemporary which isn’t something I read at all although I have been recommend a few books by Morgan Matson, maybe this excerpt can change my opinion on YA contemporary romance novels. The contrast between the past and present is pretty good and sets up the conflict and ultimate resolution that is going to come between the characters so it seems like something I might enjoy as it is heavily centred around music, so I might be able to get onboard with it but I’ll have to think on it.
