Another fun & interactive activity pack provided by NetGalley! There's nothing better than activities based around our love of books to bring us all together! Thank you NetGalley!

The NetGalley Camp is a really great idea for reading lovers. Just like reading challenges on YouTube, you get to do challenges and read and connect to a community that also love to read. And getting a badge is also a nice touch to it!

This looks so fun! I'm not quite sure how or why I am able to "review" this but, hey, it will boost my ratings. Lol

What a fun idea! I absolutely love that NetGalley put something like this together. I’m going to share it with my fellow book readers.

This is a seriously fun activity packet that I am really enjoying going through. I would love if Herbal let did these more often.

Thank you Net Galley! I truly enjoy the idea of an online based book camp for our little community of readers. Unfortunately, I’m in a bit of a reading slump at the moment but this has been serving as some motivation to get involved and you know, read! I especially like the bingo and have already crossed off a few items even with my measly one book so far in July.

Here is my link for the review of a book that I am proud of. Thank you! I think this will be such a fun experience.

This is such a cute idea! My Girl Scouts are doing one specifically for them and I was just lamenting that there isn't one for the adults. This is even better with the digital badge!!

Love this! Great idea for a digital camp. I wasn’t sure what this was when I first heard about it but I think it’s great and helpful.

I love this idea of a digital book camp! Gets a community together and talking online which wouldn't happen in real life on such a large scale!

I'm enjoying the activities in this book! I'm a big fan of book bingos, and I love trying to get as many prompts as possible to help me go through my books!

So far, Camp NetGalley has been fun! I'm really enjoying the Bingo Board! The Weekly challenges have been entertaining and provided motivation for reading and getting ahead on my reading goal, which was much needed around the half-point mark! I'm looking forward to the rest of the camp!

What a fun activity! I enjoyed the things I learned and have had a good time playing BINGO and will continue to interact and participate in Camp NetGalley!

Really easy to follow and be part of camp for this year! Love all the detail that went into the creation of this welcome packet.

I love this cute program. A great way to get involved behind just reviews! Can't wait to see what happens next year.

Thank you for this summer challenge. I appreciate this community and all that it gives. I look forward to future seasonal reading adventures.

This year, I really like the templates available. Between the story templates for instagram, the "sticker" page, and the bingo board, I thought the planners of this event did a good job of taking this event beyond NetGalley and onto other platforms.
For next year, I would like more focus on NetGalley itself though, rather than just marketing on other media platforms. Perhaps there could be a few featured books available for an "ARC book club." It could either be books that have auto-accept and could be open to everyone, or they could be books people need to get approved for that could either look through each applicant, accept everyone for this one time event, or even accept the first 50 (or however many) applicants. I think this would be an awesome way to get more interactive and may provide some good press for the chosen books. Maybe there could be a NetGalley Discord server or a feature on the website where people could discuss those books.

What a fun summer reading activity! I love the bingo. Challenges are very fun. I think a scavenger hunt could be fun for next year. You all make the prompts and we post pictures to social media using the event hashtag. The prompts could be bookish or summer-related or both!

Finally my summer reading dreams have come true! I haven't been this excited since there were Pizza Hut coupons and free bookmarks on the table.

This is my first Camp Netgalley, and I'm so excited to experience what it's all about! It feels like a library summer reading challenge, which I LOVE. The reading bingo board is especially exciting for me -- always love a checklist hahah.
For the "Talent Show" portion, I'm choosing my review of The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw, an unexpected new favorite that I hope to revisit frequently! (https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6204513943)
