I cannot express how much I enjoyed listening to Imogen Church. Her narration was expressive and heart felt. There were a lot of characters for her to voice and she was able to provide enough distinction that it wasn’t overly difficult to tell when one character ended and another started. And this was no easy feat, given she voiced characters of different genders, ages, and nationalities. Her reading style and narration voice {not character voice} was soothing, bordering on relaxing, which says a lot given the subject matter.

I’d definitely listen to an audiobook narrated by Imogen Church again and would recommend her to those who are new to audiobooks.

I only started today but I'm already having a lot of fun and am excited to use this to help further my reading goals!

This seems like a perfect way to kick off summer! Grab your favorite book, a cool drink, and a tote bag for goodies and hop on a camping adventure. Who doesn’t love BINGO? I can’t wait to earn some badges!

Camp NetGalley sounds like a fun challenge for summer reading. I am most looking forward to the bingo card, but I'm not sure how to use it just yet. In the future, it might be exciting to set up some kind of community aspect to the program.
Thanks NetGalley and We Are Bookish for providing this nerdy summertime entertainment!

Love the Welcome Packet. The templates for socials in particular are much appreciated! The badge and sticker links are a fun idea as well. I'm curious to see what events there are for the month! My suggestion for next year would be to see if there are publishers or/and independent authors you could *partner* with to have a selection of auto-approved e-ARCs available for participants to select from throughout the month! It would give readers a chance to increase their feedback percentages AND give exposure to upcoming books and authors!

I love the idea of summer camp and earning badges. I mean who doesn’t!!! The Camp NetGalley Welcome Packet definitely helped me understand what needs to be done to earn badges. Can’t wait to start earning badges this month. A great way to have fun with books.

I like the idea of Camp Netgalley, however, I don’t think the instructions are really all that clear, and it took me a minute to figure out what exactly is happening here! I think in the future the instructions could be a little more specific and I would be interested to see more ways for us as a community to connect, maybe a discord server or some other platform that allows users to connect more easily! For the talent show, I am submitting my review for Not Another Love Song by Julie Soto - I absolutely loved that book!!

I suppose this is a cute idea, but I'm a little confused and don't feel like there is a lot to do with the community. A more interactive event would be a lot better. I guess we will see how it all goes, but right now i'm skeptical.

I thought the idea of the event was cute, I love a summer camp vibe and theme so the branding for this really caught my attention. I was hoping there were more ways for us to connect to fellow NetGalley reviewers, maybe specific channels in Discord servers could work, as I feel it's hard to connect to NetGalley users on other platforms as many people don't prefer to reach out to others of their own accord.

I also think giveaways or other incentives to participate would be fun, maybe even having prizes that can be sent to the first few people who complete certain challenges or events for Camp NetGalley.

Overall a very cute idea, I'll definitely participate in a few of the social media events going on throughout the summer!

The Camp NetGalley Welcome Pack is a delightful invitation to join in some fabulous social reading activities.

The middle of the year is often a time of reading slumps - northern hemisphere folk are outside doing summery activities, while those of us in the southern hemisphere are shivering through the winter doldrums. These activities in the Camp NetGalley Welcome Pack are designed to bring both together for some bookish fun.

This is my first Camp NetGalley, and I'm really looking forward to the bookish bingo and scavenger hunts! 😁

For the talent portion of the camp, I humbly submit my review of A Love Song for Ricki Wilde by Tia Williams: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6190250340

This will be my first time participating in Camp NetGalley. The welcome packet is well presented, colourful, fun and inviting. Looking forwarded to camping out!

Excited to participate! Already doing well on the Bingo card since one book fulfilled a couple slots. :D But lots more reading to get to!

A great interactive welcome packet, hopefully it includes more community-based activities where the reviewers can interact with each other

So excited to participate in Camp NetGalley for the first time! My goal is to read and review all the books on my NetGalley TBR!

Favorite things about the event:
- The bingo card is such a cool idea!
- The scavenger hunt on week 3 sounds like it's going to be so much fun

Ideas for next year:
- If your team chooses a review to post, would you consider tagging their socials or linking their Goodreads page?
- You could also ask that anyone whose review you feature, posts a feature on Netgalley for their followers talking about what it is and how to join!

Im sorry I clicked in this too early and really meant to download the instructions before I decided to complete or not to complete the quest.

Thank you for this fun set of activities ! Cant wait to do these and earn badges. Who knew I’d be in a talent show as an adult. Such a fun set of activities. Hopefully it doesn’t make it harder to get books now ? Like if we don’t have enough badges or something?
