Two In A Row for Monthly Buzz Books

January 6, 2017By Michael Cader

Our inaugural volume in the just-the-right-size monthly Buzz Books spinoff for January features Indie Next No. 1 pick Emily Fridlund’s History of Wolves, plus consensus bookseller selection Shanthi Sekaran’s Lucky Boy and Stephanie Garber’s must-read new YA Caraval — and now we’re releasing the next February Buzz Books, which includes an excerpt from the latest Indie Next No. pick Elan Mastai’s All Our Wrong Todays. It also has pre-publication excerpts from Christina Baker Kline’s long-awaited A Piece of the World (inspired by Andrew Wyeth’s famous painting), plus the first in Jeff Giles’ YA series The Edge of Everything and Pam Jenoff’s The […]

The Best of Buzz Books

December 20, 2016By Michael Cader

We’re closing in our final, aggregated lists of the very best of the best books of 2016. But first, it’s worth a special shout out to the 25 titles receiving at least one major “best of 2016” vote that were first featured long before publication in one of our two Buzz Books 2016 adult samplers. Nearly one in three Buzz Books ranks among the best of the year (and many of the others hit bestseller lists as well), and 10 titles were among the consensus most notable books of 2016. We’ll be back in early 2017 to announce the first […]

Positive Reviews for January Buzz Books

December 15, 2016By Michael Cader

It’s been a week since we launched our first monthly Buzz Books sampler as an experiment and consumer/blogger reviews have been very encouraging. We couldn’t have hoped for better than this: “How do you make something exceptional better? You make it monthly! Thanks Publishers Lunch! You have made it even easier now to know what’s coming out and when. This is hands down one of the best resources for book lovers of all genres.” As with our regular editions, reviewers report discovering new titles and filling their pre-orders and to-be-read piles, with the monthly size — and full-month overview of […]

Just the Right Amount of Book Buzz, New for January

December 9, 2016By Michael Cader

One of the best things about our semi-annual Buzz Books samplers is that they are absolutely packed, with 40 substantial pre-publication excerpts — so the printed editions run 800 pages or more — and the excerpts feature books two to eight months ahead of publication. For some people, though, that wealth of material is also a flaw, serving up too much forthcoming goodness too far ahead of time. So to expand our market impact, and to offer a more focused month-by-month lens on forthcoming books of note, we are debuting a new program of free monthly Buzz Books samplers. The just-released January […]

The Full Buzz Books Romance Roster

July 8, 2016By Michael Cader

We were delighted to see the full release of our new Buzz Books: Romance sampler greeted enthusiastically yesterday, including coverage from the AP, USA Today’s Happily Ever After, and Sarah Wendell, who contributed the seasonal preview and is also a fan. Yesterday’s PL announcement was missing some links, so as a reminder, the “trade version” is available from NetGalley — or you can get an EPUB from PM and find it on Edelweiss. The consumer edition is free at every major ebookstore, still in promotional rotation at iBooks and already ranking high at Amazon. Below is the complete list of […]
