Camp NetGalley was a neat idea. However, it was a tad bit forgettable. The title got lost in your timeline and didn’t repetitively show up on your dashboard when you logged in. This meant a participant must go look for it or wait to get a reminder email to finish up. For first attempt, it wasn’t bad but should look at some other places like libraries and bookstores for next year for some new ideas or to make the program more memorable.

This was really fun and I enjoyed all the activities that were included. It sometimes slipped my mind to keep with it, but I really did like how it was organized!

This was so cute and a lot of fun! I hope Netgalley continue to do fun activities like this in the future! It really helps to Kickstart a renewed passion for reading.

A fun way to spend July, I wish I could have participated more but the ill health of several family members didn’t help. Looking forward to the next one so I can hopefully join in more

Great summer program! It was a fun way to enhance my summer reading. I hope to participate in more of these types of programs in the future.

Thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity!! Camp NetGalley was so much fun! The Welcome Packet cover was so very aesthetically pleasing. Sweet and simple. The NetGalley Welcome Packet contained 9 pages of fun activities to participate in for the month of July. I loved the Bingo Card most! I look forward to doing this again in the future. Maybe daily emails to set reminders or a scavenger hunt for next time! So fun, thanks NetGalley!

The House Beyond the Cerulean Sea - TJ Kline

OH DEAR.
Wow. TJ Klune has done it again! If you're worried about a sequel not meeting expectations of The House of Cerulean Sea, DON'T BE! It's everything we loved about the first novel and so much more!
Somewhere Beyond the Sea has been beautifully written and Klune does a fantastic job reintroducing our favorite magical characters. The story starts out in the past with Arthur returning to the island for the first time since his tragic childhood. He intends on creating a beautiful place for magical children to be loved and given opportunities that he was not as an orphan. Fast forward to present day and Arthur has been summoned to speak of his history with the DiCOMY, so he and Linus set out to leave Marsyas Island. Once they arrive to the city, they quickly learn that the government has different intentions when inviting Arthur to speak.
Arthur and Linus are challenged to fight for their family and work hard to live the life they want.
I am thankful for NetGalley for providing me with an
ARC excerpt of Somewhere Beyond the Sea by TJ
Klune. I cannot wait for the final copy to be released on September 10, 2024.
Read from: Apr 18, 2024 - Apr 19, 2024

This was a lot of fun! It challenged me to read books I haven't tackled in too long and gave me ideas for "what to read next." While I didn't quite get to yell, "Bingo!" I did make good progress on the board. Thanks for inviting me to attend Camp NetGalley. I hope it becomes an annual thing!

This is a really neat idea but I feel like more information and instruction would have been useful. Something like sending out emails for the weekly challenges to remind people what is happening in the upcoming week and how to participate could be a nice change for next year. Reminder posts on socials as well.

Thanks for the fun activity! The bingo activity was my favorite part. I'm looking forward to the next NetGalley download!

This is a nice short book with some fun activities. Camp NetGalley was a cute idea for interacting with the site.

Such a fun idea to get people back into reading and sharing! I love seeing all the book reviews. Hopefully we get to do this again next year!

This has been such fun to be part of and read! I love NetGalley!!!!. I have read new authors that have become my favs and new books that I still think about! I am bookish and I love books. NetGalley ROCKS!

This was fun idea for the summer. While I didn’t participate in the activities, I like the idea of a camp for NetGalley readers. Maybe I’m just not the age demographic that would really enjoy this, but many people did have a great time. Thanks to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for coming up with these books and summer camp.

Such a fun summer activity! Thank you NetGalley for giving us more interactive events and specials! I look forward to the next one.

The Camp NetGalley resources and pack are very pretty, I enjoyed their graphic design and pastel colours. I think it was really positive in creating a sense of community and summer holiday spirit. I am especially excited for the opportunity to showcase a favourite book review.
I do feel that it probably is better suited for newer members of NetGalley, as I already was aware of the evading journal and book advocate kit, but overall a very fun and nice project.

I loved participating in Camp NetGalley and posting books on social media. The different activities were fun. I loved seeing other entries!

A fun summertime reading activity! Thank you so much to NetGalley for the opportunity to participate!

I think this was a great idea to get members more involved. I hope this kind of thing continues. I would be great to do seasonal activities that keep us engaged with each other. I was not able to participate as much this time but truly hoping for more to come.

Such a fun idea with lots of fun activities for readers to participate in. .

Shiloh and Cary were inseparable in high school, but only as friends... At least that's what they kept telling themselves. Afterwards, they went their separate ways and haven't talked in over fourteen years. Now, at thirty-three, divorced, and with two kids, Shiloh isn't sure if she is hoping Cary will or won't show at their friend's wedding. Maybe, there could be something between them after all!
I loved that this was a story about that innocent high school love (that they don't even recognize as love), and yet also a story about thirty year olds dealing with the messiness of life. These characters were flawed and relatable!
Thanks to @netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read this one and provide my honest opinion! It is set to be published in the US tomorrow, 30 July, so definitely add this one to your TBR!
