BookExpo America has named the books that will be championed during its three buzz panels at this year's BEA convention in Chicago. The books, which represent some of the most anticipated titles of the fall, were selected by three separate committees of booksellers, librarians, and other industry professionals.
At the buzz panels, which will be held during the May 11–13 show, the books' editors will discuss the titles. Some authors will also appear on an Author Stage, discussing their work.
Nine previous buzz titles selected over the past two years have appeared on New York Times bestseller lists.
