The March Indie Next list makes Mohsin Hamid's new novel their No. 1 pick. The list also includes the much-anticipated new novel from Christina Baker Kline, which you can start reading right now in our February Buzz Books Monthly (along with excerpts from Elan Mastai's debut All Our Wrong Todays, Pam Jenoff's The Orphan's Tale, and more.) Download it now for free at Amazon, iBooks and Google Play, and share it with your reader communities to help build buzz for all of publishing in February. And enjoy the book-discovery experience of the upcoming Winter Institute without ever leaving your chair with our just-released big Spring/Summer 2017 Buzz Books for adult and YA titles. The consumer edition is featured on the iBooks home screen right now (and the trade editions are featured on NetGalley's home page).

Between the two collections we're featuring excerpts from 15 authors appearing at WI in Minneapolis. Plus you can look at our complete preview of the upcoming season listing hundreds of forthcoming titles of note. (For a different lens on tracking upcoming titles, remember that we post monthly lists for PM members; look here for titles due week-by-week in April, March and February.)
