Love all the netgalley fun reading activities! The activities make it a fun summer activity to track reading and encourage you to reach your goals.

What a fun idea! I really enjoyed all the different ways to participate in Camp NetGalley. Each option was a great way to engage and make the experience enjoyable.

I think this was a cute idea, though I didn't really actively participate. I think it could have been shared more widely through social media for better ability to participate. I'm not really sure how one is supposed to use a journal like this online. I think I'm a little too old school.

This was so much fun! I loved Camp NetGalley. It was awesome connecting with other campers and readers. I hope to do this again next year. Thank you We Are Bookish for a good time.

This was such a cute concept! I didn’t end up getting to participate as much as I’d hoped (summers are crazy am I right??) but still love this opportunity provided by NetGalley and We Are Bookish!

Hope to see this return next year and maybe expand to have other seasonal activities!

Camp Netgalley was so much fun! I really appreciated the challenges, and getting to know the other netgalley reviewers through social media over the course of the month. Definitely an activity I'd like to repeat!

I enjoyed perusing the Camp NetGalley Welcome packet. it was fun and colorful, well-organized and well-written, and clearly communicated everything I needed to know to participate fully in the experience.

I appreciated the opportunity to get this as a review. There are exciting things ahead for Netgalley and it’s wonderful that we’re selected to be on this journey with Netgalley. Thank you!

Thank you NetGalley and We Are Bookish for these fun activities. It was a great idea! I liked the Bookish Bingo and the stickers. These were all fun ideas. Unfortunately, I found them difficult to find. The event was confusing. The activities weren’t easy to find. Honestly, I’m still not sure what I missed. Also, I’d love to see a different genre theme each week. One week the activities can be based on romance, the next week it can be drama, etc.

Great idea but the execution should be a little more clear and easy to access.

I thought this was such a fun idea! We adults also want to attend summer camp 🙂
My favorite things are scavenger hunts & bingo boards, and I hope we have more of these next time.

This was a really cute concept! I enjoyed the bingo and while I didn't always have time to download the templates and post, I had fun with it all. I would love to see more activities that prompt us to go somewhere and complete a task or something. July flew by and I typically read more in the summer in general but it was nice to have some challenges for what to read and some goodies to download. I'd love to do something like this around Halloween with a spooky theme!

This was so fun! I would love to see more things like this in the future! This was motivating to read more and get some reviews done.

This was such a fun summer challenge!! I particularly loved the downloadable stickers/reading journal, and the scavenger hunts on Instagram! It was fun to connect with the community online and see who else is reading! If you do this again next year, it would be cool to see maybe different types of badges to earn? Or more community-friendly interactive activities.

It was OK but I didn't have much fun doing everything that was suggested and I found that it didn't offer me much

What a fun idea. This just gives us a chance to focus more time on our reading this summer.

This might be a great idea to do during Nov and Dec when reading seems to take a back seat to the holidays. We could read a book about being thankful in Nov and a Christmas book in Dec. The stickers for Nov and Dec could really be cute - holiday themes. We could also add Oct and do a spooky book. More cute stickers. Just an idea to encourage people to read when life is really busy.

I loved how much this program made me even more invested in my reading this summer! So fun! I have been tearing through books and reviews but this gives me an even more fun reason!

I enjoyed this challenge and appreciate the pdfs and accessibility. I look forward to more opportunities! Thanks @netgalley!

Very cute idea! I wish I had seen it sooner.

Would love if they graphics could be also available in 9:16 proportion to be shared on instagram stories!

This was a really fun event however I didn't get the chance to participate as much as I would have liked due to a sudden bereavement. I look forward to more events like this in the future!

I really enjoyed this idea! I was excited to download it once I saw it, it gives me a lot of nostalgic vibes.
I wish it would have been promoted sooner, or sent out as information in an email. I am not always online looking at the newest titles available, but would have joined sooner if I had heard about it sooner.
I liked the “events” but wish some had more information about them or were more of an “activity” than just downloading stickers.
The bingo board is a great idea, but maybe that in itself could be the event? Like a readathon for the month?
Thanks for the hard work you put into it and I can’t wait to see what you come up with again!
