Thank you for putting together a creative and fun Camp NetGalley. What a wonderful way to bring readers together and have them engage with fellow readers. Loved this concept!

Such a fun concept and new idea for the summer. I enjoyed the prompts and activities here. This made me want to have a campfire and read in a tent with a flashlight and cold drink. Great summer vibes. Thank you #Netgalley for doing this!

A fun summer reading challenge. I did not participate fully but enjoyed the portions I did. I'm sure others completed the entire packet. My reading path took me in a different direction.

Even though I am late this was a lot of fun to be apart of and I would love it NetGalley would do a few of these a year!

What a fun summer event. I liked the scavenger hunt and the bingo. I was not able to figure out how to share my review of a book in the links section though.

Such a fun idea! I wish I had more time for it, but I thought this was a really cute way to read over the summer.

This was a fun way to focus on reading NetGalley backlog. Unfortunately I was in the middle of Summer Reading so little actual reading on my part was done, but I have dedicated the month of August to reading down some of my backlog. Best intentions and all that. It is always fun to mix things up[ and "gamify" your TBR on occasion.

I tried following this on Instagram and Facebook, but found the 'tasks' not suitable for how I interact on social media. With lots happening duirng the summer holiday season there just wasn't enough time for me to get involved in the same way as others did.

Definitely fun for adults in the summertime. I would appreciate the hard copy of this one. I never know what to do with interactive items on my kindle.

I LOVED the concept and the activities/challenges, but I would love for this to last all summer long. I got super busy in July and wasn't able to do as much as I wanted :( But this felt so fun and nostalgic back to my summer camp days and I will definitely make sure I participate next year :)

I don't think this was as straight forward as the team who put it together thought it was. At least I found it hard to understand.

I loved that Camp Netgalley challenged readers to go through their backlog in a fun and creative way! The bingo was particularly helpful! Next year I'd love to see even more templates and stickers added! Thank you so much for offering this type of event!

Camp NetGalley had several activities that were fun and challenging enough to keep me engaged. I was so excited to do Bingo but got really busy and wasn’t sure if the reading assignments needed to be ARCs. I wanted to do the other activities as well but was much busier than expected. Maybe extending this over the timespan to 2-3 months would make all the activities feel more doable.

Murder on a summer break by Kat Weston

What an absolutely hilarious sequel to Murder On A School Night! The first book was utterly brilliant and this was such an enjoyable follow up!

After solving the Menstrual Murders, Annie and Kerry (The Tampon Two) are back! And this time at Festival Of Fame, an influencer event where they very well might get to meet their fave feminist influencer! However not all of the events attendees share the same views and soon a prank war breaks out.

Whilst trying to out prank each other an influencer turns up dead! But can The Tampon Two figure out what is going on and why before it's too late? Because lets face it after their last run in with the police they don't have much faith in them to sort it before anything gets worse.

This had me cackling at extreme levels! I absolutely adore the banter and the comedy is beyond brilliant! I will definitely be recommending this book!

A fun activity book with ways to earn a NetGalley badge.
Always nice to have reading challenges, but I wish it had been longer than a month!
I hope to participate in the Camp NetGalley next year!

This was such a fun community project and really brought me back to the Camp NaNoWriMo days. Would love to see more activities in the future! (You say I can earn badges? I want to earn all the badges!)

This was such a fun summer challenge! I am glad that it was created and that I had the chance to participate. Also I love the bingo and the stickers that went along with it :)

So much fun! I really love seeing this platform doing more to engage with reviewers! I’ve been with NetGalley for a few years and it just continues to be a superb way for readers to gain access to their favorite authors and publishers!

Late but Im sharing my bingo card as my July wrapped. Im sad I missed this camp since i am just now returning to netgalley. Ive been active only on my bookstagram but im ready to do some ARCs and live the wholesome experience that netgalley offers to us book lovers and readers in general

I had fun with Camp Netgalley! Unfortunately, July ended up being a little busier than I expected, so I didn't get to participating in as many of the games and activities since I was only able to read one ARC in July. But what I did participate in was fun, the theming was really cute, especially as someone who had a lot of fun camp memories as a kid. I like all the ways that Netgalley is encouraging and having fun with its readers!
