I saw this on LinkedIn today and wish I had found out about it sooner! I love the Instagram story prompts and wish I had a chance to really engage with them earlier in the month. I think Camp Netgalley may(?) have the potential to be a pseudo-summer reading for reviewers. I'll keep an eye out for this next year.

I loved the bingo and am excited for the badge!

✨Book Review✨
🐴Eyewitness Horse 🐴

Synopsis:
A nonfiction book about horses for children ages 9-12.

My thoughts:
🤔 The DK Nonfiction books are a huge hit in my elementary libraries, and I know some young horse-lovers who are going to love this one!
🤔 The pictures in this book are mostly full-color photos, and I know a lot of my older elementary students prefer that style.
🤔 This one is packed full of interesting facts and information about horses that enthusiasts will devour!
🤔 This book is easily accessible from any page and does not need to be read cover-to-cover.

Who is going to love it? Those who love….
❤ Horses! 🐴
❤️ Science and History of Animals 🔬
❤️ Children’s Nonfiction 📖

📢This one releases August 6, 2024! You can preorder now!

🥰Thank you to @DKBooksUS and @NetGalley for this gifted eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a fun summer event. I liked the summer camp theme, I hope NetGalley does more events like this.

Fun! Loved the stickers. Wish there was a better way to do this virtually and submit our finished packet, as I couldn’t figure out how to add all the stickers to the packets on my phone. But the idea of earning the badges is an engaging one!

Loving Camp NetGalley! It's been so much fun the past few weeks seeing everyone's posts and to be able to follow along using the hashtag on Instagram! This packet is super cute and I'm thrilled to get this new camp-themed badge. The scavenger hunt has been fun and I'm loving all these templates. Love the design, tips, and creativity of this packet, I'm already excited for next year's camp!!!

I had so much fun during camp NetGalley! I wish we had more opportunities throughout the year for things like this!

I have attached my review for A Photo Finish by Elsie Silver! Easily one of my favorite reads of the year!

Thank you NetGalley!

This seemed like a lot of fun and I wish I had been able to participate more.
I’m attaching a review of Husbands and Lovers by Beatriz Williams as my “talent show” entry. I loved this book, got it from NetGalley(!!) and I’m proud of the review.

Thank you Netgalley and We are Bookish for the ARC of this book. #campnetgalley

Thank you for this fun activity packet! It feels like bookish summer camp! The bingo cards are the best part.

Thank you Netgalley and We are Bookish for the ARC of this book. This was an honest review. #campnetgalley

The very first #campnetgalley was a lot of fun. Playing the bookish bingo board and getting a bingo was my favorite part. As a result of the bingo, I was also motivated to read more Netgalley ARCs and finish my reviews. In addition to getting a badge, I would like to see maybe a few percentage ratio raises or some camp or summer themed read now books. I also included the #campnetgalley hashtag in all my reviews this month. I can't wait to do it again next year.

Such a fun and engaging way to interact with fellow readers! I loved the bingo cards and prompts that pushed me out of my comfort zone! Before Camp NetGalley I was in a TOUGH reading slump but now I have so many new books I’ve added to my TBR and can’t wait to get reading!

I absolutely loved this packet! I love how involved the reading community has become over the last few years with the Bookstagram and BookTok, and this just helps advance that spirit, love and passion of books and their readers. Summer reading has always been one of my favorite things so to put this spin on it was such a fun way to go.

What a fun opportunity to become more involved in the community and have the opportunity to branch out a bit! I liked the Bingo card the best out of the activities.

"Camp NetGalley Welcome Packet" is a charming and informative guide designed for readers and reviewers who participate in the NetGalley community. This packet, crafted by We Are Bookish, serves as an excellent introduction to the world of advanced reader copies (ARCs) and provides a comprehensive overview of how to navigate and make the most out of the NetGalley platform.

Thank you for providing this fun and interactive summer reading pack.
I liked the week where we posted a different item on our socials that was fun!
The Bingo card was also fun!
I read some great book in July and here is a review I am proud of and one of my favourites this month!:

What a fun idea! I’d love to have opportunities like this for other occasions too. Thanks, NetGalley for making it fun to review books!

I think this is a fun idea! My problem is I’m so one track minded when I read that I kept forgetting to check in and see what activities to do. The bingo card was my favorite and I have a lot of squares marked off! I do hope more of these are in the future. I’ll make sure next one to print off some of the activities and keep near my reading area.

Camp NetGalley is such a fun summer reading program! I loved the useful information, and as others mentioned, this totally gave me local Library Summer Reading challenge vibes 🙌

this month has been total garbage for me, but Camp NetGalley brought a little bit of sunshine and really brightened up my month and gave me something to look forward to <3 i'd really like for this to happen agaikn.

This was my first time joining Camp NetGalley and I wasn't sure what to expect. I only downloaded this Welcome Packet at the end of July so I missed out on most of the fun, but I'm intrigued to follow along for next year.

The new Book Advocate Toolkit from Week 3 was, hands down, my favourite part of this Camp, though the badge to the profile is a fun bonus!
