Welcome to Buzz Books 2025: Spring/Summer, the 26th edition of our celebrated sampler series. This collection offers readers an exclusive preview of nearly fifty of the season’s most anticipated releases, curated to showcase both established voices and emerging talents.



Readers will discover new works from beloved bestselling authors including Emma Donoghue, Georgia Hunter, Louis Sachar, V. E. Schwab, Mia Sosa, and Maggie Stiefvater. The collection also features compelling releases from acclaimed literary voices Ron Currie, Stuart Nadler, Dolen Perkins-Valdez, Ivy Pochoda, Jessica Stanley, and others who continue to push boundaries in contemporary fiction.



Continuing our tradition of spotlighting the most promising new voices in literature, this edition introduces several remarkable debuts. Salvadorean-American author Darrow Farr’s The Bombshell draws partial inspiration from Patty Hearst’s kidnapping and radicalization to create a thought-provoking narrative. Other exciting debut authors include Katie Yee, Fred Lunzer, India Hayford, Nanda Reddy, and Josh Duboff, each bringing fresh perspectives to contemporary storytelling.



In nonfiction, powerful new releases explore the depths of human experience. Jefferson Fisher’s The Next Conversation leads this collection with practical advice on how to better communicate in every arena of your life. The other works delve into the complexities of corporate culture, institutional power, and family dynamics.



The young adult section showcases Graci Kim’s Dreamslinger, a fantasy adventure set in Seoul where dreams materialize and dragons take flight. Other standout YA titles include Shampoo Unicorn, a heartfelt story connecting rural queer teens through podcasting, and Kaya Morgan’s Crowning Achievement, which weaves themes of grief and identity into a Renaissance Faire setting.
