This is my first time joining Camp NetGalley, and I couldn't be more excited to participate! Thank you to NetGalley and everyone there that made this summer reading event possible for us book enthusiasts. The welcome packet was very thoughtfully put together. I would love to see a feature next year where we can see what other campers are reading, so it feels more like a collaborative event. Also, it would be cool if there were some titles reserved for campers to have a better shot at getting approved to read and review.

I enjoy the concept in this book to connect readers over the summer! I think everyone could use a bit of nostalgia like summer camp vibes and this is a fun way to bring that back virtually. Thank you NetGalley and We Are Bookish for this opportunity

This is so fun! I adore this idea! I love that it helps us grow as reviewers and help us connect to others! Thanks so much for this event and encouraging our participation! Sharing the review I’m most proud of! I got the ARC directly from here too! NetGalley has been such a blessing, especially for smaller reviewers like myself that might find it hard to get ARCs otherwise!

Looking forward to to using the stickers and participating in Bingo! I do wish we could use the Camp NetGalley banner page in the NetGalley App and that there were links on the bingo card for things like “Review New Book Advocate Toolkit” and “Update Profile”.

Great intro into the program, The packet gave adequate details about expectations of the reader and the program, which was helpful in making a decision to participate.

Love this idea! It’s so cool since we adults get to be kids again by got camp - all without the bugs. 😂 Lol! What a great way to explore the wonderful world of stories. Books are just waiting for readers to open them up.
I’ll look it over carefully but am a little confused as to how to download the sticker I created off of Instagram. Looking forward to playing bingo too. Thanks for creating this event!

This is such a fun idea! I miss having more interaction with other reviewers from NetGalley, so I love this initiative - and the camp aesthetic is so good!

I love this idea! I suggest that in the next camp, there can be some read along and a discussion site where people can talk about their current reads.

A fun way to encourage me to step out of my comfort zone to try some new books! Looking forward to working though these challenges.

I read the welcome packet and wish to participle in each and every event. But I’m not sure what is my next step.

I've been a long-time member of Netgalley but this is the first time I am participating in Camp Netgalley. This program is a great way to amp up participation in members by having weekly activities. It would draw more participants in however, if there were small prizes awarded for those who are the most involved in the camp.

Great idea! I was doing #JuneOfARC on Litsy (with six ARCs reviewed) and looking for something to prolong my streak. Thank you NetGalley for this idea.

This was very different to what I normally read and my first forage into John marrs and I was pleasantly surprised.

I chose this as I felt the blurb was enticing and it was certainly worth the punt.

The book is based around AI and has a few strong topics in regards to fertility and death so it may not be to everyone liking.

It kept me turning the pages and I will definitely look into other John marrs books from now on.
