What a wonderful idea to do Camp NetGalley! I love the idea of building a community that can connect over our love of books!

Every season has a special feeling toward our reading journeys. While fall and winter speak to cozy corners, steaming mugs to drink and soft blankets to curl up with and enjoy a good book, summer has an air of it's own. In the summertime, some of our daily responsibilities seem to fall away and it's easier to enjoy the lazy evenings, longer days of sunshine and fresh air. Whether it's a good book on a quiet night, or an easy read by the pool or beach, it's a wonderful time to indulge.

Camp NetGalley is a great chance to feed into that indulgence and enjoy the fun and games that have been set up. Like Bingo and other weekly events that lie ahead, it adds a playful feel to summer. We may have to still keep up with work and adult responsibilities, but what a great chance to enjoy some fun at any age and savor our reading time even more!

Camp NetGalley is so fun! I love the BINGO game, as well as the cute little welcome packet. I printed it out and added it to my book journal. I love any excuse to try a new book, author, or genre and I think this monthly challenge is a great way to do that! I also really love the tags so i can see what other readers are up to on social media!

I've shared a review in the link portion. I am especially proud of this one, because the author reached out to share their thanks for reviewing and sharing!

This is a great idea and I can't wait to do the activities. I am already having some issues figuring out how to do things, but I think it's just because I was trying to do stuff on my phone, instead of the computer. Works much better on the computer, looking forward to Bingo!

If you’re a NetGalley reader who loved your library’s summer reading program as a child, then Camp NetGalley is for you! It’s a great summer-camp-themed way to get readers involved this summer with fun activities to join in on. I’m excited for the bingo game and a “talent show” to share a review. And who can pass up the opportunity to get a Camp NetGalley profile badge?! Looking forward to a fun bookish summer with NetGalley!

Review for Dishonestly Yours:


This is a captivating summer read about temptation, lies, deceit, redemption and trying to find your moral compass. Even if that means going against everything you’ve ever known. Conning. This book was like a breath of fresh air, it’s like nothing I’ve ever read before. Get ready to be consumed by this story. Didn’t expect to fall in love with a bunch of con artists. But here we are. The way I became attached to Phoebe, Rocky and their siblings. The found family was everything.

Phoebe and Rocky’s relationship is messy, explosive, and their chemistry is off the charts. There was so much tension and angst between them and the will they won’t they had me hooked. Oh and Rocky was like a mix of Loren, Ryke and Connor combined!!

I love seeing the flashbacks of the cons. With the contrast of them trying to live a true honest life in this small coastal town. Just two besties trying to live their best mystic pizza life. But their sweet simple life doesn’t last long.

The drama, the plot twists, the last 100 pages had me absolutely going through it. It was an emotional rollercoaster. Krista and Becca excel at writing real and raw imperfect characters with chaotic lives and even messier family dynamics. I can’t wait to see what they conjure up next in the series. This book spent a lot of time character and world building which set it up perfectly for the next book. The cliffhanger at the end! I need book two immediately!!

"I've always been dishonestly yours. And it looks like that's not changing."

I am excited for the Bingo. I dig being a book advocate and want to use any way I can to promote reading diversely.

This sounds like an interesting idea. I’m looking forward to participating in this event and seeing how it unfolds.

This is a fab idea to get people engaged and having fun with reading. I love the bingo (I’m an absolute sucker for book bingo on social media) and the idea of sharing a review you’re proud of.

The graphics are great and the welcome pack is put together well. It explains everything about the event and looks fab.

I was just thinking yesterday when I was out and about with my friend visiting our local library and a bookstore how much I missed participating in a summer reading program. As an adult it stinks that there aren't really summer reading program options for us. Well until now! :) Camp NetGalley feels like the summer reading program I loved to participate in as a kid. I'm excited about bingo and the talent show! And for next year, it would be super cool if somehow a zoom book club with an author here on NetGalley could be arranged where we could discuss their book and ask them questions!
