What a fun way to read this summer. I always loved camp. Can't wait to play bingo and complete the squares. Happy reading for the summer.
Such a fun activity to participate in this summer. I’m happy that NetGalley put this activity together.
Okay, I'll bite! I never went to sleepaway camp as a kid (my sister did, but it turned out to have a rather more religious bent than my parents anticipated, so they quietly refrained from sending any of us again), and now that I'm an adult, who has time and money for that...? But if I did go to a sleepaway camp, I'd absolutely want it to involve a great deal of reading. And archery. And swimming. And more reading! And then perhaps some marshmallows.
I love having a new NetGalley bingo board (I might even manage to tick off the 'review the oldest book on your shelf' box...stay tuned) and am curious to see what the scavenger hunt will bring. Future camps could perhaps include sports (bingo boards themed around particular genres, perhaps?) or a photography challenge (post a picture of your NetGalley read out in the wild). Or an international NetGalley camp, with different activities for the different country sites...?
Along more standard NetGalley lines, it would be a lot of fun—although, I understand, perhaps difficult to execute—if there some handpicked summer reads (set at summer camps, ideally), Read Now or with widgets available, that were part of the Camp NetGalley options; I enjoy the gimmicks of Camp NetGalley but (let's be honest) I love reading even more.
Thanks to the NetGalley team for putting this together. (My talent show submission is for one of my favorite NetGalley reads to date.)
Thank you NetGalley for this fun literary event! I look forward to trying out all the activities. The Bingo challenge looks exciting and that alone will certainly keep me busy!
I love the concept of a fun interactive way to engage on NetGalley! The handouts are coloful, vibrant, easy to read. I do feel like the instructions are a bit vague/confusing. I hope this concept continues to expand and grow with more opportunities similar to this one.
So much fun! I can not wait to join in throughout the month.
Bingo is such a fun way to play along with other reviewers
I freaking love this idea, I am all for camp NetGalley ! I cant wait to participate in the action! The bingo, being part of a community is the best!
This looks cute and fun. This is my first time participating. I really like the Bingo challenge. The stickers are not bad.
I absolutely adore the theme of “Camp” NetGalley. I love how on theme all of the graphics were and the whole idea is really enjoyable! My favorite thing is definitely the stickers! who doesn’t love free, cute stickers!! Super cute idea overall!
The book review that I am most proud of is https://www.netgalley.com/book/373542/review/1426068
My favorite thing about this event is the ability to get a new badge while participating!
Next year, we could have bingos by gender of the book or maybe sponsored by publishers
I totally enjoy this event!
Such a cute and fun idea! I love the illustrations, the colors, the theme and the NOSTALGIA! Who doesn't love summer camp vibes??
Such a cute idea! Enjoying the bingo. Would maybe suggest allowing for customizable tasks or a menu to choose from.
Recently finished Prime-Time Romance and loved it. Review attached.
This is such a fun idea! I absolutely love this packet and will be trying to follow along for the month of July!
This seems like a nice way to get involved with netgalley and meet fellow reviewers! We’ll see how it pans out, I’m not certain how it works yet.
I always like to be involved in events and challenges around books and was very interested when I saw the email about this. But I'm honestly a bit confused with the whole summer event and not really sure the best way to participate in this.
Love this event!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Would love to see more interactive things like this.
I always appreciate it when Netgalley offers these more interactive, engaging experiences and this one is definitely quite a bit of fun. I will confess I find it a bit confusing, however, I'll always give a thumbs up for these opportunities to become more active within this community. These materials are nicely done and this entire welcome packet offers the opportunity to become more involved in the Netgalley community. You're all much appreciated.
I thought the format was cute and it was easy to use! Love the links to use in my Instagram and other social medias
Fun idea for summer! A great way to get out of a reading slump or try a different genre for a season.
I know how to review nonfiction books, but I am absolutely clueless on how to review this one. So all I can think of to say is this could be an interesting project for the month.
