I loved the concept of "Camp NetGalley" and was really excited when I received the email. In practice, I didn't keep up as much with it as I would've liked because it was too hard to chase all of the things on social media. Since this was also during public library summer reading and Libro.fm's Olympics-themed Audiobook Challenge, I would've liked the Bingo card to be something we could keep track of on the NetGalley site or in the NetGalley app.

Camp NetGalley was so much fun! It was such a creative idea and made me prioritize NetGallet reads. I loved participating. I hope you do it again next year!

Told me everything I needed to know about Camp NetGalley. I didn't have any further questions about what the camp involves.

What a fun idea! I love this summery theme. I love seeing what everyone else is reading and all the little activities that go along with this.

Really cool concept & I’m hoping to see more activities like this in the future! It was a bit tricky to figure out exactly what was desired from members and readers in order to participate in this challenge but I think/hope I figured it out!

I am submitting my review for The Night Ends with Fire for the Talent show.

It's very cute and a fun idea, although I feel like the PDF format made it a little less usable than if they were separate image files (especially for bingo, etc meant for socials)

Fabulous fabulous fabulous . . . a wonderful program and a wonderful guide. Thank you all for making this magical experience available to us all. I truly enjoy being here and this lovely little guide book was very welcome -- looking forward to the next one, too !!

Thank you to Netgalley for this super duper cute Camp Netgalley Welcome Packet!

I enjoyed Camp NetGalley! I love the bingo and the Instagram story templates. The toolkit was definitely the best part of the experience for me as I learned more about the inner workings of NetGalley and I am able to better structure my profile towards what publishers are actually looking for.

My suggestions for next year would be to make it a bit more collaborative, is there a way to do this with publishers that are on NetGalley as well? Also advertising it more, I didn't find it until the end and I wish I had joined in earlier! I'm hoping this will continue to be an annual thing, if so will there be different badges for each year?

Overall, I had a good time! Can't wait to do it again next year!

I'm not exactly sure what I'm reviewing here. Is it the brochure explaining Camp NetGalley? It was well put together.

I liked the ease with which you could participate in the Camp NetGalley activities each week. While I'm new to NetGalley and haven't done much with the system yet, this was pretty easy to follow along.

I've included the link to a book I recently finished that had an amazing reveal.

This is such a fun Idea and concept, while I haven’t been able to Participate as much as I’d like because I got started late, it’s been fun to look through all the activities available. I am also a sucker for anything book bingo. Something so motivating when you gameify your reading goals.

Update:

I had such fun with camp this month. My favorite aspect was Bingo. I loved checking off boxes. I managed to get two bingos and completed 17 of 25 items. I also brought up my NetGalley ratio to 95% and have two more books to review tomorrow before camp ends. I consider that a win. Arrrr!

I loved this year's Camp NetGalley event! I'm submitting my review of 'The Library of Borrowed Hearts' by Lucy Gilmore as my this year's Talent Show entry. Can't wait to participate again next year!

This was honestly so cute and so fun, I wish I could've done more this month. I think next year there should be like some type of competition on how high everyone can get their ratings.

Love that events like this are happening in the book world. I really like that companies are taking the time to bring the community together. Would love to see more post and more marketing about Camp NetGalley.

This was a fun way for NetGalley to engage those in the community. I wish I had joined earlier in the summer to be able to participate. Hopefully it will be an annual event!

I had a pretty good time with Camp NetGalley! The toolkit was the most beneficial part of the experience for me as I learned more about the inner workings of NetGalley and was able to better curate my profile towards what publishers are looking for. In terms of suggestions for next year, I do wish that this was more collaborative and community focused throughout the entire event because it felt kind of lonesome to tune in late and miss the weeks that seemed to be more about interaction with the book community? I also feel like there could have been better incentives for participating as well. Overall, I had a good time! Being able to participate in each of the week's prompts after those weeks after over would also be helpful!
