As a long time fan of Beatriz Williams, I was eager to dig into her to be released Husband & Lovers, which hooked me from the very first page and kept me engaged to the end.

Set in present day New England and 1951 Cairo, Egypt this dual time frame novel intricately weaves the story of single mother Mallory Dunne and Hungarian refugee Hannah Ainsworth. The reader is taken on a journey from the heartbreak of WWII to the beginning of the revolution in Egypt through present day and shows how the ties that bind us, and the love and loss we suffer, make us who we are.

A beautiful story of love, loss, redemption, and the human spirit, this is one not to be missed.

This is such a fun incentive to encourage us to review our ARCS—perhaps there can be tiers (earning different badges) for next year if you post multiple reviews (in the link section) during the event?

This is my first time participating in Camp NetGalley, and I couldn't be more excited. I have already started working on my bingo card and putting together my graphics to share on my Instagram as well as posting reviews of some of the books I'm reading throughout July! I really enjoy the bingo card and all of the customizable graphics as well as the digital stickers and badges! Something I might like to see next year are little graphics or banners that we can put on our Goodreads reviews since that is where I post most of my reviews!

This camp welcome package was really fun! This is the first time I’ve participated in this and it’s a great idea. I love a good bingo and plan to complete the card via insta stories. My one comment would be that I wish you’d saved the templates themselves to instagram rather than the link to go download them.

What a fun thing to do for and with readers for the summer? This is a good challenge to catch up on reviews, engage with fellow readers, and to reminisce about summer camp as an adult!

Thanks NetGalley!

Really fun activity for summer and to motivate you to post more reviews to your socials. I really love the bingo board, though it seems geared toward new reviewers versus veteran users but overall there is a good mix of prompts on the board.

Gallows Wood - Louisa Scarr
This is a brand new police series from Louisa Scarr and she’s really off to a flying start with it.
If you are a fan of police procedurals then definitely give this a try, slightly reminded me of Line of Duty but with police dogs.
Loved the story and loved the characters and the story was full of twists and turns that kept me guessing throughout.
I’m really looking forward to seeing Lucy and Jake’s story unfold in the rest of the series.

Its 1925 and Abigail Dixon is living in Paris working for a Chicago Newspaper's Paris office. She longs to be taken serious as a journalist but only get assignments for society and women's page news. She is sent to Darrington Manor in England to cover the pre-wedding festivities and wedding of the daughter of an English aristocrat and a very wealthy and powerful American businessman. She was specifically requested by the groom's father who is an admirer of her "spunk."

This story grabbed my attention and didn't let go until the end. The mystery was well crafted and kept me guessing until the end. I enjoyed all the characters. I liked how they were developed to show that people have different sides to their personalities. People that are likeable can also do bad things. Abigail (Abby) and her best friend Vivien complimented each other and kept each other from getting too far out in left field as they try to get to answers. I also enjoyed the character of French Det Henri Deschamps, her nemeses from the previous book, who is there to support his old friend, the bride's father. I look forward to seeing Abby and Det Deschamps match wits again.

A great read and I highly recommend. I do give warning that you will not want to put this one down!

Thank you to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for the opportunity to read this story.

This was a nice summer activity for readers. The Packet was cute with artwork that matched the theme well. Hopefully this type of fun activity set will continue periodically. Maybe a coordinated read-along or virtual book club might be a neat activity to consider for the future.

I did not complete the camp, but enjoyed reading through the welcome packet! I especially enjoyed the download to the reading journal.
