Genre Buzz is an event unique to NVNR, a book conversation among booksellers about recently released and forthcoming books in their favorite genres.

This year, NVNR is hosting a Genre Buzz Lunch on Monday, August 4th -- a full hour to sit with fellow fans and talk about what is new in the wonderful, sometimes weird, world of genre books. There will be tables for Horror, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Mystery/Suspense/Thriller, Romance, Cooking, Religion/Spirituality, In Translation, Childrens, and Young Adult. Printed lists of suggested titles will be available at each table, and can also be downloaded in the event app. Links to Edelweiss collections will also be available in the app and via QR code.

The Genre Buzz Lunch is a keystone in NVNR's commitment to title discovery. Driven by NVNR's bookseller attendees, genre buzz discussions are a great way to find new titles to enhance a section in the store, try a new display, or find new books to recommend to in-store genre based book clubs. Genre books are among the fastest growing areas of the book market, and genre readers are voracious and fanatically devoted to their favorite authors. A robust selection of genre titles can significantly improve inventory turn and overall sales.

Share your love for genre books!
