I really enjoyed my first Camp Netgalley. It had loads of activities to participate in, week after week, and I loved the exclusive stickers in particular. It was a great adventure, that pushed me to read loads more books on Netgalley. The reading journal is the best digital one I've come across and I'm really excited to begin the process of filling it out.
My entry for the talent show:
This YA novel is about Tegan Masters and her journey to self-discovery, grief, and love. After Tegan wakes up in her own, personal heaven, she has some strong opinions about her angel's choice of her perfect moment to relive forever, none of them positive. Zelda, the angel, begins a whirlwind tour through Tegan's memories to help her understand what mattered most to her and so what if they fall in love as the journey continues.
In the beginning, I found this novel to be moving quite slowly, but as it got towards the excursions the pair went on, I got more invested in the story. I quickly got more involved with the characters and it was a great journey to go on with the characters. The character development was so great to see and wraps up the story so well. As Tegan tries to figure out her complex emotions, we learn what you sometimes think makes you the happiest in life, is sometimes the thing that can make you the saddest. Tegan is a very relatable teenage character, I felt her emotions with how well the scenes and feelings were described. I really enjoyed the reading experience.

I am so excited for camp netgalley. I have been obsessed with reading bingo boards lately. This aligns perfectly with my current reading bingo board for myself. I love the stickers and checklist. Should be a fun month of reading.

Love Camp NetGalley!! It is always fun to have an adventure with our novels! Why let the kids have all the fun?

What a fun summer reading adventure!! Thank you to netgallery for setting this up!
I cannot wait to connect and have fun with summer follow camp readers

Love being able to connect with other readers, authors, and publishers! It also puts a fun spin on getting our NetGalley to do list prioritized. Thank you for putting this on!

This is such a great idea! Thanks NetGalley for putting together such fun little activities! It's great to see how much I'm already able to fill out the bingo card and all the social media templates for participation are a major plus!

This is so cute and fun! Thank you netgalley for putting together such a great activity packet! I can't wait to jump into it

A very cute idea! I'm definitely going to enjoy reading my galleys this summer. Hopefully by the beach!

This is a super cool idea. I’ll be traveling most of July, but will also be reading several books along the way and am excited about activities :)

Thanks so much for the opportunity to participate in the Camp Netgalley Summer 2024 camp. I love this idea, and I already can't wait to participate!

this was so fun! i'm excited to try and get the badge for Camp Netgalley. Thank you to We Are Bookish for so many fun and interactive activities

Here is my review for "I need you to read this" by Jessa Maxwell. Thanks for the opportunity to be a part of Camp NetGalley, this was cute and fun!
Alex Marks is saddened to hear that her favorite newspaper columnist has been murdered. A fan of the column for years, Alex is intrigued to potentially replace the slain Frances Keen. The New York Herald and its dynamic publisher, Howard Dmitri, get over 500 applicants for the position, but Howard is very drawn to Alex's entry, and she lands her dream job. In the role, she needs to publish a column weekly and read all of the letters that come to the desk. This is when she starts getting some threatening letters.
Secrets abound and Alex tries to determine what happened to Frances. Who is a friend and who is a foe? Who in her new job is dangerous?
This was a fun, easy read. There are some big plot holes and some resolution that gets wrapped up a bit too easily. However, I did enjoy it. There are clues to the mystery throughout, which is always fun when the author gives you bread crumbs. I found Alex to be a little one dimensional and didn't have a ton of depth. But the newspaper staff had some characterizations that gave you a good desciption.
Not the best mystery of the summer but a decent read if you are voracious and need another beach/fluff mystery for your to-read-pile.
Thanks to NetGalley and Atria Books for the ARC. Book to be published August 13, 2024.

This is such a neat idea 👏 I love the bingo game! Thank you for giving us all this opportunity to participate. I hope for more things like this in the future.

This is so good. I highly recommend it. The challenge is really fun to do. I enjoyed all the new authors I discovered.

This is a very fun idea for the summer! Virtual reading camp! I like the activities and the badge I can receive. Thanks, Netgalley, for this fun challenge!

My first time participating in Camp NetGalley! I'm so excited to complete the Bingo board and participate in the weekly events throughout July! Thank you!

How fun is this?! I love the weekly challenges, and how it's set up so that you're ready to get all your ARCs reviewed in a timely manner.

This is such a cute summer reading challenge of sorts!

I am super excited to participate this year! I wish there were prizes for the bingo cards such as Amazon gift cards. It would be even cooler if some of the publishers worked together to provide ARCs or prizes for helping to promote. I would love to see Netgalley with a bit bigger of a following so that next year, we could make it a TikTok trend.

This was a really fun and interactive idea and I'm happy to participate in Camp NetGalley! The packet was well put together and had fun graphics. It definitley set me up for a fun month of reading!
I liked the bingo page the best, it gave me great ideas on things to do during the month! I hope more of these activities are released.
