What a fun activity! I enjoyed the things I learned and have had a good time playing BINGO and will continue to interact and participate in Camp NetGalley!

Really easy to follow and be part of camp for this year! Love all the detail that went into the creation of this welcome packet.

I love this cute program. A great way to get involved behind just reviews! Can't wait to see what happens next year.

Thank you for this summer challenge. I appreciate this community and all that it gives. I look forward to future seasonal reading adventures.

This year, I really like the templates available. Between the story templates for instagram, the "sticker" page, and the bingo board, I thought the planners of this event did a good job of taking this event beyond NetGalley and onto other platforms.

For next year, I would like more focus on NetGalley itself though, rather than just marketing on other media platforms. Perhaps there could be a few featured books available for an "ARC book club." It could either be books that have auto-accept and could be open to everyone, or they could be books people need to get approved for that could either look through each applicant, accept everyone for this one time event, or even accept the first 50 (or however many) applicants. I think this would be an awesome way to get more interactive and may provide some good press for the chosen books. Maybe there could be a NetGalley Discord server or a feature on the website where people could discuss those books.

What a fun summer reading activity! I love the bingo. Challenges are very fun. I think a scavenger hunt could be fun for next year. You all make the prompts and we post pictures to social media using the event hashtag. The prompts could be bookish or summer-related or both!

Finally my summer reading dreams have come true! I haven't been this excited since there were Pizza Hut coupons and free bookmarks on the table.

This is my first Camp Netgalley, and I'm so excited to experience what it's all about! It feels like a library summer reading challenge, which I LOVE. The reading bingo board is especially exciting for me -- always love a checklist hahah.

For the "Talent Show" portion, I'm choosing my review of The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw, an unexpected new favorite that I hope to revisit frequently! (https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6204513943)

Thank you to Netgalley for this wonderful experience!

Es una experiencia muy bonita y especial, pero lastimosamente no podré participar. Les deseo mucha suerte a todos.

This is such a great summer idea for all book lovers! I enjoy the bingo and am excited to do something with so many bookish folks!

Thank you NetGalley, for creating such a fun activity to participate throughout the month. I specially like the bingo. It’s a great interactive idea to tackle some of those pending ARCs and reviews, with the opportunity to also increase your profile percentage.

CAMP NETGALLEY WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
such a fun idea
lots of interactive activities

Camp NetGalley Welcome Packet
by: We Are Bookish

Camp NetGalley is a relaxing summer event that gives NetGalley users a unique opportunity to interact with reviewers, readers, and members of the literary community. My Bookstagram followers will get to follow my camping experiences as I continue to share what I am reading and the activities that I am participating in.

I love the visuals, stickers, and badges that we are provided with to make our journey personalized and shareable. The Bingo game is not only fun but also will broaden my reading horizons as I finish the board. The weekly guide has such a good variety of things, and I can't wait to do the scavenger hunt! I send praise to We Are Bookish for the creativity used in making this such a breezy, summery way to deepen and expand support books, authors, publishers, and literacy while having a blast at camp. I will sign up again next summer!

I love this packet, thank you so much NetGalley, it's such a wonderful resource to have with my reading journey.

Sounds like a very fun and interactive summer reading program! I do my best to post reviews as quickly as I read but doing this challenge may seem a bit too hard for me.

Thank you to Netgalley for this wonderful experience!

A wonderful idea with lots of fun adventures and activities to spur on our summer reading!

My favorite part of Camp NetGalley has to be the book bingo! I love filling out a book bingo, and I especially love how simple you made it to share Camp NetGalley resources to social media and engage with other campers. Loving this so far!

I’m apparently in the minority on this, but I found The Camp NetGalley Welcome Packet to be a bit confusing. I needed more complete instructions. Anyway I think I’m not the right audience for this. I don’t do scrapbooking type activities (stickers, etc.) but I do enjoy a book bingo challenge. However, since I don’t currently have a working printer, there’s no easy way to mark off the boxes on the bingo card. I will be submitting a review for the “talent show” aspect. (https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6226266697) Basically, I’m going to concentrate on my reading and trying to up my ratio rather than figure out how to download and use stickers in a reading journal.

4 stars
A fun little summer reading activity. Looking forward to participating in all the fun activities

So this was my first time doing Camp NetGalley! I really liked the bingo card, and who doesn't like digital stickers/badges? For the future, I'd love if there'd be a way to do something interactive with other reviewers? Like a guided read-along where we can all share thoughts by chapter or section?


For my review link, I shared The Tainted Cup (Shadow of the Leviathan, #1) by Robert Jackson Bennett!
