Buzz Book 2026 Spring/Summer

by Publishers Lunch

Rating:  4 Stars

Just to be clear and up front, this isn't a normal novel. It’s a massive collection of first chapters and previews for a ton of major books coming out this spring and summer. 

Since it’s a collaboration of samples, there isn’t one big story. Instead, you get a taste of everything. One minute you're reading a heavy family drama. The next, you're reading a funny memoir or a beach romance. The chapters are long enough to see if you actually like the author's writing style, but they all end right when things get good.

ln this edition, you get a bunch of bestsellers and new authors making their debuts. Some of the standouts I’m most excited for after reading these samples are Emma Straub's American Fantasy, Douglas Stuart's John of John, Veronica Roth's Seek the Traitor’s Son, Annabelle Gurwitch's hilarious memoir The End of My Life Is Killing Me, and Beth Howard, Song for a Hard-Hit People: A Memoir of Antiracist Solidarity from a Coal Miner’s Daughter.

The only downside is that it leaves you hanging on every single story, which is kind of torturous. It basically ends with you adding twenty new titles to your "To Be Read" shelf.

​If you love keeping up with book trends or just want to figure out what to put on your summer reading list, I highly recommend downloading a copy.

Thank you, NetGalley, Publishers Lunch, and Publishers Marketplace Buzz Books for the eARC book review consideration.  All opinions are my own.
