As with the awesome e-book given to track our books as a holiday gift last year, this is an amazing opportunity for all things books. My only issue is I'm so busy with work that it's hard to do all the activities. Decisions, decisions! But, no matter what, I'm turning in my reviews and enjoying the challenge. Thanks, NetGalley!

This is the first summer I have been using NetGalley so I have not seen the camp before. I think it’s a great idea and will enjoy working my way through the challenges and completing as much of the bingo card that I can as well as looking online at others who are participating.
I have added the link for my book review to be included in the talent contest.

What a great Idea! I love it! This creates a fun way to read books and share insights in a different type astmosphere. I look forward to being a part of the Camp NetGalley.

Thank you so much for creating such an fun opportunity! Already enjoying it and looking forward to the rest!

Super fun and I can't wait to participate! Thank you so much for creating this, I especially love the bingo page

I am so excited to jump into this summer reading project! I love using Netgalley and to get rewarded for my reading is just so much more enticing to me.

This is a fun little game created by net galley. Excited to play and earn badges with the bingo board.

Can't wait to do this! This seems like such a fun opportunity and it will definitely help me read some more books outside of my comfort zone.

Such a nice summery idea, perfect for me who is still exploring the platfrom!
I like how you can take part in different activities and especially love myself a Bingo!
Hopefully this is an example of future themed activities on NetGalley - they give a nice vibe and honestly help organize my reading choices too.

This was a really cute idea. I really liked the idea of giving readers initiative to read more and try different genres. It was a quick and easy read and I will definitely be taking part.

Omg this is the cutest activity ever. Not sure how far I will be able to go for but I’m excited to try it out and for some goodies. Love the bingo! Thank you netgalley

I really liked this idea and think it a cute way to get people to use social media and spread the word. I think it was very useful and a lot of the elements were perfect to start discussions about what to read this summer.

Another great pub by NetGalley. I love the graphics and design of the Camp NetGalley publication. Also LOVE the idea. I spent many a summer at camp and the vibes are just immaculate. Next year I'd love to see Camp Netgalley again, maybe with some reading lists or some more social aspect. Maybe even bookish crafts or recipes. Those are the things I think are synonymous with camp: friends, food, crafts & the outdoors. The reading Bingo is fun but it seems like a lot for a short period of time. At least to clear the whole board it is a lot. Overall fantastic idea and execution. I am most excited for earning a new badge!

Camp NetGalley is such a summer treat! The event combines the joy of reading with a stress-free and enjoyable experience. This unique blend of reading and recreational elements helps me dive into more books than ever before, fostering a deeper appreciation for literature and making the entire journey as refreshing as it is rewarding. I’m having a lot of fun with it!

Here's my entry for the talent show:

The Cruel Dark by Bea Northwick
Wow, wow, wow. I could not put this down.
This gothic historical romance, set in the 1920s follows the character Millicent Foxboro, who takes a job with Professor Callum Hughes at his estate. At first, Millie is put off by the professor's cold demeanor, which made me curious to see how their relationship might develop into a romance. While working at the estate, she comes across a journal belonging to the professor's late wife, revealing some unexplained experiences similar to her own. As she investigates the mystery of the wife's fate, she finds herself increasingly drawn to the professor.
This book is beautifully written, with eerie imagery, and elements of Celtic mythology. Expect dark academia vibes, a grieving lover, dark secrets, and paranormal twists, along with some romance and a bit of spice.

I'm having a lot of fun with this! The variety of prompts on the camp bingo has motivated me to read in new ways. It's great to connect with others on social media who are also participating.

I might not be able to participate as much as I wish to do so, but this is a really cool idea! I like that the bingo contains many kinds of bookish activities and that the event engages the readers through gaining badges and having weekly tasks. The materials are nicely designed and they really encourage me to catch up and boost my ratio. Thank you for this initiative!
One recommendation would be to maybe advertise this through a newsletter or something similar, as some people might not find out about it from social media and would lose this opportunity unless they stumble upon someone else mentioning the event.

I don’t know if I’ll be able to fully participate in this this year but I think it’s such a fun idea!

I think the Camp Netgalley idea is a fun way to encourage summer reading, but I feel like the Bingo has too many books on it to be completed by the average reader. Out of 24 squares, 9 are to read a different book. The rest are great activities. On the schedule, the bingo game is also only listed for the first week, which might make people think they have to complete it in a week for it to count, and could put people off of it. Some peoples brains are too literally to get those are suggestions and not hard and fast rules.

What a lovely idea! Its a nice way to engage readers for Summer time, we know how tricky it could be! And I like the idea of bingo, its encourage readers to explore more their ability. Love it!
