I cannot recommend this title highly enough. It offers a fabulous guide to books coming out in both fiction and non-fiction categories. I am a huge fiction reader so loved that there were sections on commercial fiction, debut authors and more. The non-fiction also has many subcategories in the listings.
In addition to the books that I have now added to my TBR based on the lists, there are generous excerpts for a number of titles. These include a summary of the book, some chapters, information on the author and more. There are also links to request titles from NG.
Note to those who do not use NG. Type Buzz Books into your browser and you can download the guide there.
Truly five stars here!
Many thanks to Publishers Market Place/Buzz Books for this title. All opinions are my own.
