Love being able to connect with other readers, authors, and publishers! It also puts a fun spin on getting our NetGalley to do list prioritized. Thank you for putting this on!

This is such a great idea! Thanks NetGalley for putting together such fun little activities! It's great to see how much I'm already able to fill out the bingo card and all the social media templates for participation are a major plus!

A very cute idea! I'm definitely going to enjoy reading my galleys this summer. Hopefully by the beach!

This is a super cool idea. I’ll be traveling most of July, but will also be reading several books along the way and am excited about activities :)

Here is my review for "I need you to read this" by Jessa Maxwell. Thanks for the opportunity to be a part of Camp NetGalley, this was cute and fun!


Alex Marks is saddened to hear that her favorite newspaper columnist has been murdered. A fan of the column for years, Alex is intrigued to potentially replace the slain Frances Keen. The New York Herald and its dynamic publisher, Howard Dmitri, get over 500 applicants for the position, but Howard is very drawn to Alex's entry, and she lands her dream job. In the role, she needs to publish a column weekly and read all of the letters that come to the desk. This is when she starts getting some threatening letters.

Secrets abound and Alex tries to determine what happened to Frances. Who is a friend and who is a foe? Who in her new job is dangerous?

This was a fun, easy read. There are some big plot holes and some resolution that gets wrapped up a bit too easily. However, I did enjoy it. There are clues to the mystery throughout, which is always fun when the author gives you bread crumbs. I found Alex to be a little one dimensional and didn't have a ton of depth. But the newspaper staff had some characterizations that gave you a good desciption.

Not the best mystery of the summer but a decent read if you are voracious and need another beach/fluff mystery for your to-read-pile.

Thanks to NetGalley and Atria Books for the ARC. Book to be published August 13, 2024.

I am super excited to participate this year! I wish there were prizes for the bingo cards such as Amazon gift cards. It would be even cooler if some of the publishers worked together to provide ARCs or prizes for helping to promote. I would love to see Netgalley with a bit bigger of a following so that next year, we could make it a TikTok trend.

I liked the bingo page the best, it gave me great ideas on things to do during the month! I hope more of these activities are released.

This is such a fun idea! The packet is put together really well - love the graphics.

I think the bingo page is my favorite - I love that it gives you something to strive towards while reading.

I'm loving this! I've already been noticing a lot of my friends posting to their stories about Camp Netgalley! (reminded me that I needed to download and join in too!)

My favorite thing about this year's Camp Netgalley is the bingo! There's a good variety while also still being incredibly relatable to us. I'm hoping the bingo game can help me kick this dang reading slump to the curb!

The review I'm linking is my review for The Branded. This was a book i DEVOURED and had a great time writing up the review, making it one I'm actually kinda proud of.
