I am so excited to complete Camp NetGalley! I have shared the link to a recent review I did for an upcoming release, Given Our History.

This is such a fun way to get this community connected! I can’t wait to participate, and I’m so excited for all the future NetGalley Camps!
Maybe a fun idea in the future would be to have a few featured books that are “read now” that can be read and discussed for a special badge!

I love this idea! This is my first year participating and I love anything that brings me closer together with the book community. I love the Bingo board because I love a good challenge that will make me read books outside of genres/authors/tropes that I usually read a lot of.
A few ideas for the future might be to put together a discord server to chat about books and do readalongs for new releases or other titles that are available for request on NetGalley.

I wish to not participate anymore. Looks like fun but just not for me at this time. This won’t let me remove it from my shelves without a review.

What a fun tool to have access to! I have years of journals collecting quotes. My blog is titled Memories from Books, and it is just that. I am a reader. Always have been. I don't remember a time in my life that I did not have a book in hand and several to be read. The more I read, the more books I discover to read. Some I read and remember. Some I read and forget. That is how my blog started. I started writing book reviews – to keep my memories of the books I have read. Then I discovered NetGalley which is a virtual treasure trove for a reader! This journal provides another way to gather those memories. I love being part of this community.
If only Camp NetGalley could be a real place full of readers and cozy places in which to read all day! The stuff of dreams!
The link below is to my reviews of some of my favorite books... the books that left the biggest impact.

I love this idea of Camp NetGalley! It’s an excellent way to make arc reading more fun! I think the activities will be fun and can’t wait to participate!

What a fun activity! I love book challenges, and I love NetGalley, what could be better? This is a really well thought-out challenge and a wonderful way to make us all feel closer to the NetGalley community.
I am so pleased and proud to be a NetGalley reviewer and I really appreciate the care NetGalley has given all of us. These special initiatives make me want to continue to contribute to NetGalley for a long time to come,

Fun idea! Kind of like a combination book club & reading challenge…without the pressure of being told what you should be reading! Looking forward to starting.

Love the idea of Camp NetGalley! The email about it was enough to make me take the plunge to join NetGalley even though I don't have a lot of book review experience. I'm looking forward to completing the activities over the month of July. Next year I would recommend a way for people to join teams. I've attached one of my first reviews versus just rating a book.

What a cute way to have more fun things to do on Netgalley and during the summer time! I can't wait to participate.

I absolutely love the idea of Camp NetGalley! It’s a great way to make arc reading more fun! I think the activities will be fun and can’t wait to participate!

This is a cute way to help people out with their reviewed %! To make it even better next year, I suggest a competitive team based competition. After all, what’s summer camp without a little rivalry between cabins / troops?
The team that submits the most reviews each week could unlock printables or additional sweepstakes entries

What a fun way to get people more involved in NetGalley!
As someone new to this platform, I really appreciate the engagement opportunities it provides. I’m excited to continue participating in the various activities throughout the month!

I’m so excited for this event and the chance to interact with other NetGalley users! I am looking forward to the events (especially the scavenger hunt) and I think the stickers are so fun! I love the chance to have a review featured as well.
For next year, I think it might be neat to do an event on live, maybe like a “fireside bookish chat.” Where you could go live in front of a bonfire and users could all interact with you and each other in the chat, discussing books, genres, reviewing, tropes and all things bookish! I think it would be a great opportunity to connect with members of the community, as well as connect those members with each other!
Thank you for offering this event, I’m so excited to participate!

I love the idea of camp netgalley! It reminds me a lot of Nanowrimo and I look forward to getting to that bingo card. I hope it doesn’t affect our review score- but I love the idea!

I absolutely love the Camp Netgalley Welcome Packet. First, the idea of a summer camp themed after a love of books is beyond unique and something I wish I had when I was growing up. The idea of activities, books reviews, badges/stickers and even a talent show is so much fun! I also love how this ties into the Netgalley Reading Journal as well. Also, the summer camp ends on my birth date, so this is extra fun for me.

I really like this guide and love this idea for summer! I was really excited to get the email from NetGalley. I love that NetGalley is working on making ARC reading more fun for readers and it also seems to be connecting readers on social media more especially today! I love that the guide provides a bingo card and other fun ideas!

What an awesome idea. I was so excited when I got the email. This is a great way to engage others to read and have fun. I am looking forward to the bingo.

I absolutely love the concept of Camp NetGalley and am super excited to complete my bingo board before the end of the month! I especially loved all of the templates on Instagram that I can add to my stories to participate and interact with. A review I’m proud of is linked below!

Fun idea. I especially like the bingo card, should be fun to play along! I am a little concerned that my review percentage will be affected if I don’t review it though.
