This is so much fun! Thanks for putting this together, looking forward to all the fun at Camp NetGalley!

Love the bingo included, thanks for putting this PDF guide together!! I am looking forward to participating in Camp NetGalley and already planning my review for submission!

Great idea and some fun this summer. Builds community and will expand out into other genres. Loving the bingo card!!!!

Netgalley is a really fun and great way to read books and practice review writing. I think one suggestion I would have is to separate the Read Now category with genres so it is easier for those who are only interested in romance, for example.
Link to a review that I am proud of is my first ever Netgalley review; I am proud of myself for starting this journey. I am excited to continue this journey to read and build a reading community.

My favourite thing about the event is feeling part of a community and doing fun things like the bingo!

Next year maybe some bookish word searches?

This is such a great welcome leaflet and the digital summer camp idea is just brilliant 🤩
This is my first year on NetGally and I’m super excited to participate, And share my love of books!!

This is my first time attending and I am so excited. The activities each week look pretty easy to do and it is accessible for everyone. The stickers are really cute. For me to see something different would be a challenge team vs team. We have reading prompts we have to do to earn points. The winning team gets a 1st place badge and the 2nd team gets a 2nd place badge. Of course, include other prizes according to placement.

THANK YOU for Camp NetGalley and this helpful Welcome Packet. I am new to the platform and learned a lot as I worked through the curriculum.

I especially appreciated learning more about We Are Bookish and subscribing to their content. An idea for next year's camp is to have a few live webinars that we could participate in that either offer tips for NetGalley or a publisher to give us additional insight into how to set up our profiles, request books successfully, or offer authors additional support.

Thanks again, I look forward to participating in the camp again next year!

Playing book bingo with cool new stickers and a book scavenger hunt... what could be more fun!

Looking forward to completing this Camp NetGalley!

I really like the new summer reading sticker set for my reading journal. They're very bright and colourful 🌈 I'm looking forward to seeing what the scavenger hunt is all about when it starts next week!

Fun idea. Love the Bingo as it helps me go outside my normal box. I am excited to continue to follow along each week.

This is a super-fun little booklet with a variety of things to do in July. I’m looking forward to working through it.
The camping Bingo is cute and easy to play. I am using little book emojis as Bingo pieces throughout the month.
Meet the Camper is a fun way to introduce yourself and let Bookstagram know that you are participating in NetGalley camp.

This is so fun! I do wish it was more interactive and we could share things on here but otherwise it’s super cute!

Oh this is so fun! I love all the templates. It's getting me really excited to be part of this platform. Thanks for this.

I love NetGalley because it gives me access to Advanced Reader Copies of new and interesting books before they hit the market.I love reviewing these books and save a ton of money by having early access to these books.I love to share my opinions with others and am able to read books that I might not have access to or the money to buy. I am excited to participate in Camp NetGalley and all the activities associated with it.I wouldn’t change anything about NetGalley-I would think it is perfect as it is.

This is a really fun packet for summer reading!

I enjoy the activities and resources provided! I really like when NetGalley does packets like this. I feel like it helps me to become a better reader and reviewer.

This is absolutely SO much fun! I love the interactiveness of Camp NetGalley. It's such a great idea and I can't wait to see what other great ideas NeGalley comes up with!

This looks so much fun and will be a great way to get Netgalley users to hang out!

My review for submission:

During dinner, Umma tells Ji-won that the eyes are the best part of the fish because they are not only delicious but bring good luck too. After always declining, she decides to try it out and realizes that her mother has been correct this whole time. When the family learns of Appa’s marital affair, he immediately abandons the entire family.

Her Umma and younger sister are devastated and heartbroken, leaving it up to Ji-won to take care of them both. In a few months, Umma begins dating a man called George with beautiful blue eyes. He is condescending, offensive, racist, misogynistic and in no time at all, Ji-won and her sister grow to hate him. He fetishes them and blatantly watches other Asian women, making for a hostile and uncomfortable environment. Umma is obsessed with George and doesn’t take much notice of his horrible behavior or her daughter’s discomfort.

On top of this, Ji-won grapples with the struggles of friendship and failing school. Her dreams become vivid and violent. In them, she sees beautiful blue eyes that follow her around. She walks into rooms that are full of delicious bloody eyes, good enough to eat and look just like George’s. Soon, the fascination of blue eyes takes Ji-won over and it becomes all she can think about. She begins to spiral and decides that maybe her dreams should become a reality because she deserves to do something about it and save her family from George. After all, Umma did say eating eyes will bring good luck and they could use a lot of that at a time like this.

I loved the Korean-American representation with a complex, family dynamic. The depiction of the culture and food was very well done. There is a lot of profound commentary on racial and gender discrimination but also how Asian women in particular are treated. The unraveling of Ji-won is fascinating and watching her become unhinged and fully commit to her rage was delightful. She may be slowly descending into madness but you can’t help but to cheer her on.

A brilliant, feminist horror novel is perfect for the summer and just what I was looking for! I can’t recommend this enough as it is such a strong debut. Monika Kim is an upcoming author that we should be sure to keep an eye out for (pun intended)! Thank you to Netgalley and Kensington Books for an advanced copy of this!
