The Complete Buzz Books Spring/Summer Titles

January 17, 2019By Erin Somers

As we previewed Wednesday, our new free ebook Buzz Books 2019: Spring/Summer arrives this week packed with pre-publication excerpts from major authors and 18 exciting debuts. Our sampler is the ultimate way to prepare for Winter Institute and the spring publishing season (capturing the best part of the event even if you don’t attend — reading some of the hottest new books ahead of everyone else). For the trade editions — with publicity and marketing info, and click-throughs for full galleys, you can download through your platform of choice from NetGalley or Edelweiss.

The consumer version is available on all the major ebookstore platforms (the “download” button here links to them all). Our samplers are highly anticipated by our network of passionate readers who use them to fill their pre-orders and TBR lists (and we amplify that with targeted digital marketing to keep building that roster for everyone’s benefit). So join us on social media and share the excitement of the upcoming season using #BuzzBooks2019. Here are all of the forthcoming books previewed in the new Buzz Books:
