Some of the new books will be featured May 20 at 7 p.m. EDT during a "Buzz Books" panel on Zoom featuring six editors discussing notable new works.

The discussion will be an online version of a traditional in-person event at the annual BookExpo publishing convention, canceled this year because of the coronavirus pandemic. Presented by Publishers Marketplace, the panel is a fundraiser for the Book Industry Charitable Foundation, which provides aid to bookstore employees and owners.
