NetGalley has become one of my favorite book sites to haunt.
This Book camp gets a 5* rating from me!

I think Camp NetGalley is a fun concept. I do wish there was a little more to do with events. I liked the week 3 event as it felt more interactive than the other weeks did.

So far this has been a fun distraction from the hustle of summer and summer reading programs. I have not quite figured out all the ins and outs of the games or badges it has been fun anyways Please please do this again next year.

The Camp NetGalley Welcome Packet is a thoughtful and well-organized introduction to a summer of bookish activities. Here are some key aspects I appreciated and a few suggestions for next year.

Favorite Things
1. Clear and Informative Layout
The packet's design is clean and easy to navigate. The sections are well-organized, making it simple to find information about events, activities, and how to earn badges.

2. Events Calendar
I really liked the Camp NetGalley Events Calendar. It’s detailed and well-organized, making it easy to keep track of all the exciting activities. The calendar helps in planning ahead, ensuring I don’t miss out on any of the fun events.

3. Camp NetGalley Bingo
The Camp NetGalley Bingo is a fantastic addition. It adds a layer of gamification to the experience, making it even more engaging. It's a creative way to encourage participation in various activities and discover new books and genres.

Ideas for Next Year - Additional Resources
Adding some reading lists or book recommendations tailored to the camp's themes would be a great addition. It would help campers discover new books and authors they might enjoy.

Such a fun idea for reading motivation. The process is a little confusing and could be explained better but I'm looking forward to the activities!

Such a fun idea and who doesn't love stickers and a special badge??
I do think the instructions on downloading and participating could be a little clearer, however.

This is such a fun idea and I love the idea of a special badge as I have all the others. I am looking forward to filling in the bingo board if only I can get it to download 😀

I really appreciate this fun new summer offering! However, I don't think I am the right target audience. It ended up not being for me. I was a bit confused about the process. I appreciate this a lot, though, for other bookworms!

I think it is a very amusing and entertaining proposal. I think that in other editions it could be interesting to do a joint reading.

I joined the #campnetgalley, and what a blast it has been. I love the whole idea. Reminding me to do the things that needs to be tweaked now and then, like my profile. And this makes me do it.

I am writing this before the end of the month as there are books, I would love to request and reviewing this will help me get another square on my bingo, well two as my ratio will go up before I request the new book ha-ha.

I loved the bingo. The activities are fun. I understood most of the squares, struggling a little with the square named “BIPOC author”. That might just be because I am an expat with English as a second language, though.

My idea would be considering doing the same for Christmas. Starting in the middle of November, mixing it with Christmassy activities? I mean, the Christmas books are on their way. It might have been done before, I am new here hi hi.

I am giving this a 5* because I can't really think of anything doing this better. The weekly thing on Mondays is awesome, keeping the momenyum going.

I found this to be overly complicated to use. Maybe as a nearly 70 year old grandma I am not the target audience. I think it would be useful for children to use as an aid to promote reading habits.

Useful information to find our way round NetGalley. I’d like to see more click links within the booklet to help more with this. Valuable guide though 😃

I think I joined a little too late but this looks so fun! I’m definitely going to try this next time and I can’t wait to try the bingo.

So fun! Love me a good reading challenge! What a fun way to inspire reading during the summer. Reading bingo is my fave!

This is a great and very cool idea. I hope I can earn a few bookmarks! It is a fun and inspiring way to keep us from having a reading slump, which seems to always hit me summer/fall.

This is such a fun idea! I absolutely line it! Maybe next year we can do a virtual book club for the month!

Okay well this whole idea is adorable. I was just thinking about how I missed summer camp, so what a fun way to combine that idea and books! I loved all of the different activities and can't wait to see next year's.

I always wanted a summer camp that I actually enjoyed and after 28 years, I finally found one!!!!! I can’t wait to see what books I’ll be approved for during this time because with NetGalley, every book I’m approved for is such a wonderful surprise!!!!
