What a fun summer reading activity! I enjoyed all the graphics included in this pack. I can’t wait to use them for summer reading fun. Thank you!!

CAMP NETGALLEY WELCOME PACKET BY WE ARE BOOKISH
#CampNetGalley

Super cute and fun!

From Bingo to Scavenger Hunt !

I really enjoyed this first trip To Camp NetGalley.

I participated on Facebook and did the about member stuff on the blog.

i would share on GoodReads but I don't see a link

The Welcome Packet was cute and fun.

The bingo motivated me to read more and I will keep going even after camp ends.

I do wish there would have been a way for NetGalley readers/reviewers/members etc to interact more.

I watched all the youtube videos and looked at Instagram.

Since I am not tech savy in the least, I wasn't able to fully participate but that's on me, not the Camp NetGalley packet.

If it comes around next year I will gladly join in again, what I was able to do was fun.


here is my talent show/review entry for a book I reviewed awhile ago, really great book.

The Art of Falling in Love with You by A. A. Jaeon

#Netgalley #TheArtOfFallingInLoveWithYou

-caught in a love triangle!

Get ready for a sweet romance with some heavier topics and a love triangle with NO cheating!


We meet Lydia (Lia) Zhang in her mid twenties, who has a great life with a best friend roomate, Isabel (Isa), an art studio, teaching art classes a few times a week, and a great boyfriend, Reed, of three years.

I anticipated a light sweet story, a fluffy fun romance, but got way more than that. I thoroughly enjoyed every word.

Lia meets Connor Li who is a chef, neighbor, and teaches kids how to cook.

I liked how the characters were so well written and realistic. I liked the Asian culture. When Lia struggled with her feelings and decision making, I felt it. I really liked the open communication and honesty in this book a very strong point here.

Reed was realistic as well and I felt for both him and Lia when they brought up their parental/childhood issues.

Connor Li was just...............sweet, kind, caring, a gentleman, loveable, a cinnamon roll type of guy. Loved him.

I was totally along for the whole ride, the whole triangle, the romance.

I inhaled the story in one day and reread it the next.

I appreciated the fact that there was no cheating.

I will not spoil if she chose one or the other, or none. Y'all NEED to read this book!

I urge all readers who like stories with friendship and love, respect, love triangles and a feel good happy ending.

I must mention the cover, simply beautiful!!

Highly recommended 4 1/2*** rounded up to 5***

Thank you NetGalley, the author and publisher (even though I didn't get it from there but pre ordered from amazon), for the e arc in exchange for my honest review.

I think Camp NetGalley is such a fun idea to increase reading habits. I really loved the bingo board. I think more templates for social media like that will help not only get the word out, but also help with a sense of community. Templates for book reviews or favorite camp reads would be really fun.

I absolutely loved the idea of Camp NetGalley! It has been so wonderful to see everyone's posts and interactions.

I would've loved to get involved more but, as a teacher, July is just so super busy that I haven't had much chance to participate!

My list on netgalley just seems to be getting longer every month so I was happy to have a little challenge that would prompt me to read more from this list, I think it would have been great to have things like - book on netgalley the longest, new author to me, debut author, book with a specific coloured cover etc as this would have pushed me to read some that have been left unread for a while.

I also think I’d have benefitted more if I did more of the social media challenges as I think I missed a lot of these with being busy with other things

A great challenge though and please do more like this in the future!! A Christmas market inspired one for all the Christmas reads would be amazing!!!

This was a cute summer reading packet. I liked the bingo board, and think that it caters well to people who are constantly reading from NetGalley specifically. I didn't really participate in the scavenger hunt because I wasn't super focused on NetGalley's social media, but it also seemed to have NetGalley oriented, summer activities that suited the camp theme. I was mostly waiting for the toolkit to come out and was not disappointed with that at all.

This was my very first Camp Netgalley, and even though I didn't keep track of my bingo card in the first week, I did enjoy utilizing the stickers and journal as I went! I think this is such a fun community idea to get everyone reading and sharing but I found myself forgetting more often than not. I'm not sure if there is a way to send reminders to those who downloaded Camp Netgalley, or even within the packet, offering a way to opt into a notification system to post or mark your cards at the end of the day. I know there are multiple posts on Instagram being made, but I wonder if there are other ways to connect, especially for those who are trying to limit their social media time.

Thank you so much for putting this together for us. We appreciate everything you do for both authors and reviewers.

Love the idea of a summer reading style activity. Cannot wait to add this summer's galley reviews. Been reading a lot and trying to improve my score. Recommend!

I love this idea & camp theme and cannot wait to see what other events NetGalley has in the future!!

A cute and clever way to engage readers in a different way during the summer. It's clear that a lot of time and effort went into preparing the details of this, from the event calendar with a different task to complete each week to a bingo board aimed to expand reading activities to the opportunity to complete a talent show entry as a culmination of the experience. I was sadly too busy during this time period to participate, but enjoyed following the entries from participants on social media and hope to engage if it is offered again in the future.

This was a lot of fun and a good way to connect on social media with other reviews! Would love to see more of these events in future.

I saw this on LinkedIn today and wish I had found out about it sooner! I love the Instagram story prompts and wish I had a chance to really engage with them earlier in the month. I think Camp Netgalley may(?) have the potential to be a pseudo-summer reading for reviewers. I'll keep an eye out for this next year.

This was such a fun idea! Thanks for hosting this great summer challenge!

I loved the bingo and am excited for the badge!

✨Book Review✨
🐴Eyewitness Horse 🐴

Synopsis:
A nonfiction book about horses for children ages 9-12.

My thoughts:
🤔 The DK Nonfiction books are a huge hit in my elementary libraries, and I know some young horse-lovers who are going to love this one!
🤔 The pictures in this book are mostly full-color photos, and I know a lot of my older elementary students prefer that style.
🤔 This one is packed full of interesting facts and information about horses that enthusiasts will devour!
🤔 This book is easily accessible from any page and does not need to be read cover-to-cover.

Who is going to love it? Those who love….
❤ Horses! 🐴
❤️ Science and History of Animals 🔬
❤️ Children’s Nonfiction 📖

📢This one releases August 6, 2024! You can preorder now!

🥰Thank you to @DKBooksUS and @NetGalley for this gifted eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a fun summer event. I liked the summer camp theme, I hope NetGalley does more events like this.

Fun! Loved the stickers. Wish there was a better way to do this virtually and submit our finished packet, as I couldn’t figure out how to add all the stickers to the packets on my phone. But the idea of earning the badges is an engaging one!

Loving Camp NetGalley! It's been so much fun the past few weeks seeing everyone's posts and to be able to follow along using the hashtag on Instagram! This packet is super cute and I'm thrilled to get this new camp-themed badge. The scavenger hunt has been fun and I'm loving all these templates. Love the design, tips, and creativity of this packet, I'm already excited for next year's camp!!!

I had so much fun during camp NetGalley! I wish we had more opportunities throughout the year for things like this!

I have attached my review for A Photo Finish by Elsie Silver! Easily one of my favorite reads of the year!

Thank you NetGalley!

This seemed like a lot of fun and I wish I had been able to participate more.
I’m attaching a review of Husbands and Lovers by Beatriz Williams as my “talent show” entry. I loved this book, got it from NetGalley(!!) and I’m proud of the review.
