I'm thrilled to be part of #CampNetGalley! Camp NetGalley is absolutely fantastic! Diving into all the action and reading has been so much fun.

I was especially excited to work on completing a "full card" BINGO with a few tweaks. Each day at camp, I eagerly looked forward to participating. I'm also on the hunt for the perfect review link to share for the Talent Show!

A huge thank you to NetGalley for organizing such an engaging event. I made the most of this amazing month! I'm looking forward to earning my Camp NetGalley Badge! Here's to a blessed and inspiring journey!

This has been a fun and interesting challenge to break up what can be a monotonous summer routine. The variety of activities kept me engaged and also coordinated nicely with our library’s summer reading program.

I absolutely loved the idea of Camp Netgalley and it was the perfect escape from a dreary winter for me. I enjoyed the fact that it could be done at your own pace, could be social but absolutely could be a solo challenge too. We could join with the time we had available and pick up wherever we left off. I liked the Insta posts sharing more about our fearless Camp Councillors than before, made me feel like one of the in crowd!
I think the booklet is an awesome idea and loved the bingo page and the chance to decorate with stickers.
A fantastic opportunity to meet other Netgalleyers! Thank you and sign me up for next year!

Camp NetGalley has been lots of fun. It is always great to have something to focus on (that isn't just for the kids) over the Summer and this has been great.
It's not just a reading challenge, with lots of fun activities and freebies along the way.

I have attached my review for The Mind of a Murderer by Michael Wood, my favourite book of the year so far.

The Camp NetGalley Welcome Packet is so cute! I absolutely love the bingo and that you can earn a badge for participating. For next year, it would be awesome if there was a way to somehow make it interactive with Instagram (since I'm a bookstagrammer). Like somehow getting my followers to engage with NetGalley through the various Camp Activities.

Thank you for the such a cute PDF!

Book Excerpt:
"Welcome to Camp NetGalley! Whether you're a longtime NetGalley member or just getting started, we're thrilled to invite you to our online summer camp extravaganza. Pack your favorite bookish tote bag and get ready for free weekly activities created just for you!

Camp NetGalley is an online bookish experience that took place during the entire month of July 2024. It was so much fun with all of the shared creative ideas, especially the summery themes.

I enjoyed the challenge of seeing so many camp reading sites, books, and games to choose from this summer. The novels were fun reads that kept one's attention until the end. There were lots of offers, and I hope I didn't miss too much. I will be waiting to see what's up for next year.

Thank you for sharing the Camp Netgallery Welcome Packet with us.

Camp NetGalley brought back the fun and nostalgia of summer reading clubs we used to participate in as kids at our local libraries.
For future iterations, I hope to see more incentives geared towards clearing out our NetGalley shelves and improving ratio percentages, as well as an exclusive read now section featuring summer titles to read and promote.

So fun! Loved the Bingo!

Here’s my review for Daydream by Hannah Grace:


Okay but how precious was this? The communication. The working on yourself to be ready to be in a relationship?

And taking a step away from Henry but the absolute power of female friendships has me swooning.

Could not put down, and read this in under 48 hours. Will read anything and everything happening at Maple Hills.

Honestly, so fun and so cute! What a great way to create a niche community online. The summer camp vibes are so good, and it’s a fun way to connect readers from all over!

What a fun month #Campnetgalley has been ! Thanks @netgalley for making this opportunity one to remember and a great memory of our summer! I loved the weekly suggestions and games. My TALENT show post is on my stories in Instagram under @shereadswith_coffee featuring “The Other Year” by @reafrey, link is below. Review is posted on NetGalley. I enjoyed seeing others camp reading sites, talent show reports and Bingo cards!
Next year hopefully we can get our Bingo card early so we can set up our month! What a great theme and fun idea! Thanks NetGalley

This was a really cool challenge! I’m looking forward to see more of this in the future! Already downloaded on instagram all the little shareable games/ prompts!

I think was a very fun and engaging idea.
The idea of week themes and day prompts game a low risk chill to the project I found.

Only thing that could improve is having a way to see the other participants as the hashyage someone's glitches and it was hard to find folks. But that's just a note!

Very cute idea and definitely would love to see something similar or this exactly next summer!

I'm so excited to be a part of NetGalley camp this year. It's my first time this year so forgive me if there are anything that I've missed out.

Another summer of reading finished. Love these types of things. :) thank you again NetGalley and we are bookish for the welcome packet

I loved the concept of "Camp NetGalley" and was really excited when I received the email. In practice, I didn't keep up as much with it as I would've liked because it was too hard to chase all of the things on social media. Since this was also during public library summer reading and Libro.fm's Olympics-themed Audiobook Challenge, I would've liked the Bingo card to be something we could keep track of on the NetGalley site or in the NetGalley app.

Camp NetGalley was so much fun! It was such a creative idea and made me prioritize NetGallet reads. I loved participating. I hope you do it again next year!
