I LOVED the concept and the activities/challenges, but I would love for this to last all summer long. I got super busy in July and wasn't able to do as much as I wanted :( But this felt so fun and nostalgic back to my summer camp days and I will definitely make sure I participate next year :)
I don't think this was as straight forward as the team who put it together thought it was. At least I found it hard to understand.
I loved that Camp Netgalley challenged readers to go through their backlog in a fun and creative way! The bingo was particularly helpful! Next year I'd love to see even more templates and stickers added! Thank you so much for offering this type of event!
Camp NetGalley had several activities that were fun and challenging enough to keep me engaged. I was so excited to do Bingo but got really busy and wasn’t sure if the reading assignments needed to be ARCs. I wanted to do the other activities as well but was much busier than expected. Maybe extending this over the timespan to 2-3 months would make all the activities feel more doable.
Murder on a summer break by Kat Weston
What an absolutely hilarious sequel to Murder On A School Night! The first book was utterly brilliant and this was such an enjoyable follow up!
After solving the Menstrual Murders, Annie and Kerry (The Tampon Two) are back! And this time at Festival Of Fame, an influencer event where they very well might get to meet their fave feminist influencer! However not all of the events attendees share the same views and soon a prank war breaks out.
Whilst trying to out prank each other an influencer turns up dead! But can The Tampon Two figure out what is going on and why before it's too late? Because lets face it after their last run in with the police they don't have much faith in them to sort it before anything gets worse.
This had me cackling at extreme levels! I absolutely adore the banter and the comedy is beyond brilliant! I will definitely be recommending this book!
A fun activity book with ways to earn a NetGalley badge.
Always nice to have reading challenges, but I wish it had been longer than a month!
I hope to participate in the Camp NetGalley next year!
This was such a fun community project and really brought me back to the Camp NaNoWriMo days. Would love to see more activities in the future! (You say I can earn badges? I want to earn all the badges!)
This was such a fun summer challenge! I am glad that it was created and that I had the chance to participate. Also I love the bingo and the stickers that went along with it :)
So much fun! I really love seeing this platform doing more to engage with reviewers! I’ve been with NetGalley for a few years and it just continues to be a superb way for readers to gain access to their favorite authors and publishers!
Late but Im sharing my bingo card as my July wrapped. Im sad I missed this camp since i am just now returning to netgalley. Ive been active only on my bookstagram but im ready to do some ARCs and live the wholesome experience that netgalley offers to us book lovers and readers in general
I had fun with Camp Netgalley! Unfortunately, July ended up being a little busier than I expected, so I didn't get to participating in as many of the games and activities since I was only able to read one ARC in July. But what I did participate in was fun, the theming was really cute, especially as someone who had a lot of fun camp memories as a kid. I like all the ways that Netgalley is encouraging and having fun with its readers!
This seemed like a lot of fun and I hope I can participate more next time! The templates were really nice and I always enjoy a reading challenge.
I loved this reading activity! The scheduled activities and how they were designed were exciting and easy to engage with. They were motivating and I felt like it made me review what I wanted in my summer reading list in a new fun way! I recommend more activities like this to engage new and seasoned readers.
I really enjoyed the camp this year and I cannot wait for next year’s camp! I loved all the templates sent to us and the activities and templates posted on Netgalley’s instagram. It made it engaging and easy to participate to be able to go on Netgalley’s instagram and post the templates on our own account.
I have reviewed over four books, but don't know how to do the links for the badge. I also missed out on the weekly challenges. Can there be an easier way to access the packet?
What A?
Great idea and it was fun to see how it different activities. This keeps you active in the long hot summer days. I ran out of time to submit the books.I liked for this thing.Because I had an emergency yesterday.
This was fun and cute. It was great to have some summer activities to follow along with, and I thought the summer camp theme was awesome.
So fun! I always love the different creative things NetGalley creates to help engage everyone! I would love for NetGalley to keep doing things like this. Love the theme!
This was a fun idea! I like the bingo card and the idea of an exclusive badge. I added my link for the talent show. Next year it would be cool if we automatically got recognition for each book review submitted. So it's not additional 'work' to participate.
This is a wonderful activity and I hope the team does it again next summer! There were many ways to remain engaged in the challenge and the packet was arranged very creatively. I hope next year it lasts longer than just one month and truly represents the summer (i.e. maybe June to August or mid May to mid August). If so, it'd allow more people to participate and review even more books. Another recommendation for next year would be to share more email reminders to participate through email for those of us trying to minimize our social media usage. Overall, this is wonderful and I'm happy NetGalley put it together!
