Winter Institute comes to a close Wednesday and those 500 booksellers will head home with lots of galleys, while we are supplying thousands of people — both trade professionals but also readers all over — with pre-publication excerpts from 40 top new titles in our recently published free ebook Buzz Books 2015: Spring/Summer.
You can get an EPUB of the trade edition directly from our site, or if you prefer, it’s “read now” download at NetGalley (where it already has 75 five- and four-star reviews) and on Edelweiss. The consumer edition is available on Amazon Kindle, Apple’s iBookstore, Barnes and Noble Nook, Kobo, and Google Play.
