This is such a fun idea! Love the Bingo card and the Talent Show, though I'm having trouble with the link for it.

Shark Heart, By Emily Habeck

I picked up this book at the library I work at, drawn to the pretty cover, and soon had all of my coworkers laughing at the synopsis, "I diagnose you with... Shark."

I decided to take one for the team, read this book, and report back - either I could give a hilarious play-by-play, or I'd be pleasantly surprised.

I didn't know I'd just picked up one of the most beautiful books I'd ever read. I purchased a copy for myself to re-read and highlight later before I'd even finished reading.

I'm begging you, just give this book a shot. It's a quick read - many chapters are less than a page long. It will be a brief and touching read, and just silly enough to make you wonder why you're suddenly crying at "the weird shark book".

Thanks for making this challenge!!

I can’t figure out how to make the TBR but otherwise it’s been fun to track my arcs I’ve read.

Love this informative packet! 5 stars! It is nice to know how to get more reach on social media. I also started following NetGalley on my Instagram account where they post daily.

This is a really fun idea and I will be looking forward to next year. The biggest success for me is the bingo sheet with tasks to do in regards to NetGalley and reviews. My one suggestion would be to do a bingo sheet that would encourage participants to diversify their reading further by reading an age category or genre they normally don't or to read a book from a specific identity (such as a square to read a square from a Queer Filipino author (such as Gabriella Buba or K. M. Enright))

A review I am proud of is my review for A Thousand Times Before by Asha Thanki: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6331967954

What a fun idea!! Love that NetGalley are thinking of ways to get our creative juices flowing. Would love to see this again next year!

I would LOVE for this to grow into a truly interactive reading challenge - maybe through something like Beanstack? It would be great to have ways to interact with other NetGalley users and have a way to participate in reading challenges.

This is a fun idea to spice up summer reading. It captures the vibes of a summer camp and a summer reading program while still being low-key and not too demanding. I look forward to seeing more of these in the future.

The idea of a summer reading camp is fantastic! The activities are incredibly entertaining for a book lover like me, and I particularly enjoyed the bingo. For future years, I suggest a preselection of books with a summer theme and virtual book clubs within the NetGalley community. These clubs could read and discuss the selected books together.

I wish I had known about this sooner! I didn't find out until the end of July and wasn't able to participate in most of the activities. Next year, I guess!

One major piece of feedback/wishlist item I have is that books releasing more than a month out should not count against our feedback percentages (I have been accepted for books all the way until late October, but won't read and review those for a few more months, so it is currently hurting my feedback percentage).

I love this concept of having a way to unite Netgalleh members but think it would be fun next year to use Instagram for the bingo more and have some sort of Facebook page or group or use Geneva or Discord or something to allow users to connect with each other more.

Linking my Goodreads review page because I'm having issues linking only one review--reallu proud of the reviews I've shared this month!

This is a great packet of bookish materials. There are so many things that you can use and do all perfect for participating in summer reading camp! Its perfect to keep you motivated to read!

Fun way to enjoy summer reading even more! I didn’t have the chance to do much this year, but I hope this is something NetGalley will do again.

This is so cute! What a fun activity! July hasn't been the best reading month for me because my kids are out of school and we've been busy so I'd love to see this again in the fall when things calm down. I definitely recommend everyone that is on Netgalley to download and participate! So much fun!

What a fun activity! I saw one of my friends was working on this and I wanted in on the action! Bingo is super fun, it definitely encouraged me to request books I normally wouldn't.

At the least, NetGalley needs to issue bingo cards once a quarter or once every season. A nice way to pass the summer.

Summer reading programs typically cater to the younger set, with a focus on K-12 students. Adults often find themselves lucky if their local library offers even a basic summer reading challenge. But fear not, bookworms! Camp NetGalley is here to save the day.

For those of us who crank through books at a faster pace during the warmer months—teachers, I'm looking at you—Camp NetGalley is a delightful escape. It's a fantastic way to connect with fellow readers and share your favorite titles in a fun, camp-like atmosphere. The Bingo Board is a standout feature, but the Scavenger Hunt Challenges truly steal the show. There's something to satisfy every reader's taste.

While Camp NetGalley may be a brief summer fling, don't let it end there! Download the Bingo Board and save it for those dreary winter days when you need a little extra motivation to pick up a book.

Thank you Netgalley for this fun opportunity. The Camp Netgalley Welcome Packet is full of little goodies like a weekly events section and bingo board. This seems like a super cute and exciting idea and is motivating me to read more this summer.

I think that it is a cute idea to have a summer camp for NetGalley! I can not wait to see what comes of this and what the rest of camp has in store!

Camp Netgalley has been so fun! I especially love the inclusion of bingo and the stickers. I hope to see this again next summer!
