This was my first time participating in Camp NetGalley and while I didn’t do everything I had a lot of fun with the Camp NetGalley Bingo and seeing everything that my fellow bookstagrammers were reading. Definitely a fun event that I would love to see take place next year!

Thank you NetGalley for the Camp NetGalley Welcome Packet. It was a fun way to read more books while trying to fill out bingo card and amazing stickers to decorate. Can’t wait for the next year’s camp.

Short compiled packet of information to have a successful self-guided summer reading session. I wish there was more interaction with the community members - this was more focused on the badges and the little games which I was a little confused by. I was hoping for more of a collective summer reading challenge. The time frame also was kind of short to participate. I think it needed to be taken offsite to a discord or a blogsite with rolling interaction with one another. It just didn't have enough focus for me, which is why I removed stars. However, what IS there, is very well done and I can see the effort put into it, it just wasn't what I thought it was going to be. If I had paid for it, I would've been disappointed.

The packet was fun but not exactly what I expected. I think I expected more of a refresher course to maximize both the experience and our value as reviewers. Instead, this book is more a true camp experience with games and badges. In that space, it is OK if not a tad short. What I personally think would make this review exercise fun would be an interactive session where we could ask questions to a panel. Another thing that would be super helpful would be a best of section where a small set of reviews would be shared with tips from each to make us better reviewers.

The review I submitted below is one I am proud of because it is all heart. It is from before I started doing reviews for Netgalley, BookSprout or BookSirens so the only motivation for me was sharing the amazing experience that was the book. It is called "Fear is a Choice" and it is the harrowing story of an athlete who fought for a second chance and now stars of Sunday. I would recommend this book to anyone who feels like they need a bit of inspiration. In fact, I have recommended this book to several people via word of mouth. The story has all the feels as we journey along with James. It is also a lot of fun for Steelers fan, PITT fans and NFL fans especially those like myself who watched James's story unfold live on Saturdays.

I forgot to submit on time, so just submitting to keep my ratio up. Now I'm just trying to hit the character count. Thanks for a fun summer challenge!

This seemed very fun but I didn't really end up participating much unfortunately. I saw bits and pieces on Instagram and did take part in the initial part introducing myself.

Super fun idea, really love the idea. Unfortunately didn't get to participate as much as I would have liked this year but now that I am aware of the event, I should be able to plan for it better next year and get more involved.

A fun little challenge, unfortunately I didn't get to finish the event... life has taken over a bit of late.

Will look forward to any others that may come up. I think a winter one would be great, keeping cosy whilst reading is my favourite hobby

Thanks Netgalley for creating this fun challenge. Didn't quite get many done but hoping for something similar again.

This was an emjoyable challenge for the summer.. it's nice to challenge your reafing sometimes. I like to find new fenres and books i probably might have missed

I need to have more realistic time open before I commit to doing things like this, but the idea and activities sounded so fun!

Goal: crush this next year!

I love the fun incentive NetGalley is promoting to get reviewers excited to read! It reminds me of the days when summer reading was full of worksheets to fill out and tasks to check off. Keep it up!

Such a fun event for everyone to participate in. Was not inclusive of those who currently live in a country that is experiencing winter.

Camp NetGalley was so fun and cute and I hope to see more experience building activities like it in the future!

I unfortunately did not get to finish this event. 😕 hoping for better luck next year if the event continues :)

I know that I didn't submit quick enough to get the badge, but camp netgalley was fun and I enjoyed the activities! I hope you all continue to do similar events in the future

This looked super fun but I wasn’t able to complete it in time. Hopefully it comes back next summer!

This was so much fun! I wish I would’ve had time to complete it, but it was a very cute challenge! I would definitely do this challenge again next year!

Although, I read the book it was to late for me to participate in some of the activities. I think the part that made me not want to participate is playing games and being at camp. I disliked being in the camps I was at.

What an interesting way to get people to become more interested in their books and providing feedback.. Getting awards and challenge are a great way to promote reading. Thanks NetGalley for a fun camp ;-)
