Our Big May Monthly

April 4, 2017By Erin Somers

With the Buzz Books spring/summer collection still going strong, we continue our successful monthly sampler program with the release of May Buzz Books Monthly.

Offering just the right amount of excerpts for consumers, and including  a comprehensive preview that highlights hundreds of notable forthcoming titles for the month (listed by subject category and then again week by week), the May monthly features fiction excerpts from:

Salt Houses, by Hala Alyan
Since We Fell, by Dennis Lehane
Mr. Rochester, by Sarah Shoemaker
The Best of Adam Sharp, by Graeme Simsion

Plus nonfiction from:

Between Them, by Richard Ford
The Fact Of A Body, by Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich

And one young adult title, Renee Ahdieh’s Flame in the Mist.

May is big month for new Buzz Books releases. Beyond the seven titles featured in the new May Monthly, the regular Spring/Summer 2017 Buzz Books collections also feature these May releases to sample now:

Touch, by Courtney Maum
The Garden of Small Beginnings, by Abbi Waxman
The Original Ginny Moon, by Benjamin Ludwig
In The Shadow of Alabama, by Judy Reene Singer
Driving Miss Norma​​, by Tim Bauerschmidt and Ramie Liddle​
The Power of a Plant, Stephen Ritz

The May Buzz Books Monthly is featured on the home page at NetGalley, where reviewers and fans have already grabbed the new edition and posted appreciative reviews. Download your own copy and spread the word to readers about the industry’s biggest and most successful sampler program ever.
