I love this! I’m hoping to participate in the whole thing for the first time :) thank you NetGalley!

This was a fun event to get more experience with NetGalley. I chose a Goodreads review for Ne’er Duke Well which is a book I received through NetGalley.

It looked like so much fun I just go into it to late as a just made my profile today! I hope we can get this again when it comes to the talent show. it was nice to have advice as how to do things on the site and gave us lots of encouragement.

Love the daily summer camp themed scavenger hunt, but I’m unsure if it only includes books discovered on NetGalley? I haven’t had an opportunity to read very many on this platform yet. The featured bookish crafts were cute, but there are so many more bookish items such as furniture and apparel that would be fun to post. Giveaways would also be fun.

I think this is a really neat idea but I feel like more information and instruction would be helpful. Sending out emails for the weekly challenges to remind people what is happening in the upcoming week and how to participate would be nice.

What a fun summer activity! I've always looked forward to summer since they afforded me the opportunity to read. Love the bingo card. It did take me a little while to figure out exactly where to put the link to a review for the talent show, but otherwise this is so well executed!

Camp NetGalley is such a fun idea! I loved the Bingo and the variety of activities, which made it achievable and enjoyable. The free stickers and earning another badge were great incentives, and the daily scavenger hunt kept everyone engaged. I hope to see more badges and social events like buddy reads or book clubs in the future.

Cute little welcome packet to get familiar with NetGalley. Play bingo, decorate your journal with digital stickers, and templates for your social media. I plan on using some of the templates later this month.

Thanks for doing this! This is really fun and a cool thing to do. Love netgalley and the fun we have.

This was a fun little packet. If you need some summer reading ideas, this is a good place to start! There are free weekly activities, bingo board, reading stickers, and more.

I absolutely love the idea of this, downloaded the pdf, and got excited. That said I haven’t been following along socially and I second guessed the bingo sheet. This summer has been busy so far but the very act of getting this reminded me about how much I love NetGalley and reminded me to try to open NetGalley or Kindle (reader of choice on my phone) more often so leaving it as is seems successful too. Thanks for doing this.

I love the idea of Camp Netgalley, and the activities and opportunities for learning look really fun. I won’t have the time to actively participate in all of it this year, but I’ll do what I can, and I hope they run it again next year!

I am a little late to this but I LOVE this idea for a fun summer challenge! I know I am not alone when I hold such nostalgia for the summer reading challenges when I was younger and miss the excitement that brings! I love this idea and I am so excited to be joining for the last couple of weeks.

This reminds me of the reading challenges libraries would hold over the summer when I was a kid, with a bingo board to fill out as you’re reading Netgalley requests and events to focus on every week. It takes place entirely online, and is fun if you’d like some motivation to try books you normally might not. Thanks to We Are Bookish and Netgalley for setting this up!

Such a good idea!
I loved the fact that you're able to win a badge, I really liked the Bingo and all the other bookish things!
I would love to see a buddy read or book club event next year. It would be a great way to do something a bit more social!

Camp NetGalley is such a great idea! It reminds me of reading challenges from the library in the summer. I especially liked the free stickers and the bingo was fun to complete. I'm excited to add another badge to my profile! I would love it if there were more badges to be earned in the future. Camp NetGalley was a delightful experience and I hope to do it again next year!

I have had so much fun participating in Camp Net Galley! I don't have a ton of feedback other than that it would be cool to see more of the participants featured on the NetGalley social media pages!

NetGalley Camp is so much fun! I downloaded the packet and posted some of it on my story. I’m now doing the bingo card. There’s also digital stickers and a lot of things to keep you occupied!

What a fun event!
My favorite parts:
-the opportunity to earn a profile badge
-the little boost in our netgalley percentage by participating, I'm just being honest! :)
-instagram templates
Ideas for next year:
-a new instagram story template for each week of camp
-maybe a group buddy read and discussion at the end?!
Thanks for the fun, NetGalley!

I love the idea of Camp NetGalley. The stickers are cute and fun. The bingo board is fun and has a variety of prompts. I wish the Instagram story templates were also available in Instagram post size. I'm not a big user of Instagram stories so this is a bummer. I also wish the scavenger hunt prompts were available in a list form so that I don't have to worry about missing any of them.
