I read the welcome packet and wish to participle in each and every event. But I’m not sure what is my next step.

What a fun idea! So excited to be part of the NetGalley book community and have something interactive to work on this month.

I've been a long-time member of Netgalley but this is the first time I am participating in Camp Netgalley. This program is a great way to amp up participation in members by having weekly activities. It would draw more participants in however, if there were small prizes awarded for those who are the most involved in the camp.

This is such a fun idea and way to interact with the bookish community! I love the idea of a cute summer camp activity :)

Great idea! I was doing #JuneOfARC on Litsy (with six ARCs reviewed) and looking for something to prolong my streak. Thank you NetGalley for this idea.

This was very different to what I normally read and my first forage into John marrs and I was pleasantly surprised.

I chose this as I felt the blurb was enticing and it was certainly worth the punt.

The book is based around AI and has a few strong topics in regards to fertility and death so it may not be to everyone liking.

It kept me turning the pages and I will definitely look into other John marrs books from now on.

I'm going on a "read-cation" next week with plans to read several upcoming books on my NetGalley shelf, so I was excited to get the Camp NetGalley welcome pack! I'm submitting a favorite review from last year as my entry to the Talent Show. This was a book by a new-to-me author published by a small press.

I'm excited to try out Camp NetGalley! This is my first year and I love reading, so I'm excited to participate.

To me there is nothing more exciting that evokes the memories of my childhood like a summer reading challenge. The challenge at my library when I was in elementary school is what propelled me on my path to becoming a librarian.

This is such a fun idea to get people reading and checking out netgalley! I love the games and the set up of this event. I love that it includes diversity and opens people up to reading new genres and authors they may not have picked up before.

What an interesting, captivating edge- of- your seat tale! Masquerade by O.O. Sangoyomi has the undertones of Hades and Persephone but is woven deep in 15th century West-Africa.

Without any spoilers, I must admit that I liked the ending to Masquerade better than most Hades and Persephone retellings. The FMC is an absolute badass... Òdòdó, even after everything she's been through is kind and loyal. Yet she demonstrates decisiveness and violence when needed. I love that in the end, her history of subjacation, battle and strategy training, and sheer will aid her in securing her future.

I am in complete awe that this is a debut novel! It is so engaging and well written and has all the elements I'd expect out of a seasoned author. Just take all my monies now cause I'm already in line for her next book.

Thank you, NetGalley and Macmillan Audio, for an advanced copy of Masquerade in exchange for an honest review. It's definitely in my top five reads of 2024 so far! I'd also like to note that the narrator, Ariel Blake, did a stunning job. The rich tones of her voice and accent really were perfect for this story.

As a relatively new reviewer on NetGalley, I’m super thrilled to attend CampNetGalley! I think the Bingo is a fun idea and can really motivate reviewers to read more. I love, love, love the reading journal provided by We Are Bookish and will be using that from now on to assist in tracking my reading. I look forward to checking out the Book Advocate toolkit once that’s available. I think if I were to offer a suggestion for next year’s camp it would be to offer some physical book giveaways. I love reading on my tablet but nothing will ever beat a paper/hardcover book. Call me old fashioned but I treasure my physical book copies.
