Hyping Up! Book Expo's 2019 Editors' Buzz Selections

Today on the blog I'm sharing with you the 2019 Editors' Buzz Selections that will be showcased at this year's BookExpo! These selections are what the editors determine to be the breakout selections of the year. Over the past three years, 11 books selected by the program hit The New York Times Best Sellers lists. 

Last year’s selections included breakthrough books such as: Ohio: A Novel by Stephen Markley; There Will Be No Miracles Here by Casey Gerald; Darius the Great is Not Okay by Adib Khorram; Girls of Paper and Fire by Natasha Ngan; Sadie by Courtney Summers; and Sanity & Tallulah, Book 1 by Molly Brooks.

Check out the lists below and get ready for BookExpo 2019!
