Buzz Books Spring Summer 2026

I always look forward to reading Publisher’s lunch Buzz Book publications because it gives me a sneak peek at what I want to read in the coming year.  I experienced my first Buzz Books panel live at Book Expo in New York way back in 2005 and have considered some of the books highlighted in Buzz Books to be must reads.

 

Buzz Books 2026 continues the tradition. I’m excited by the fiction and debut offerings particularly.  For example, Maria Semple’s excerpt of Go Gentle, (Putnam) promises a story as fascinating as Bernadette, and I’m eager to see what happens to the bereaved daughter and her inheritance of Molly in Jan Saenz’s debut, 200 Monas. 

I’ll be sure to let you know what I think! Thanks to NetGalley and Publisher’s Marketplace for the advance copy!
