It's in my shelf, so I feel like I need to :)

What an exciting challenge! NetGalley does a wonderful job coming up with fun things and resources to promotoe reading and community. This is something I am definitely enjoying and looking forward to.

Camp Netgalley is a cute virtual event with free weekly activities like bingo, a scavenger hunt, a talent show, and more! The guide instructions were clear and concise, reading it in under 5 minutes.

Potential ideas for next year: Camp Netgalley merch that can be ordered ahead of time, in person events like a barbecue, giveaways (e.g., netgalley books or physical books, stickers, tote bag, hat, etc.).

I quite love the idea of a community event like this, because I find that they encourage many positives from tackling items on one's TBR list to discovering new works that may fall outside of typical choices. Although it's been fun to follow along with each week, I do think that this would benefit from a more interactive design, such as a specific page or "hub" dedicated to events like this. Rather than having every activity released at once, readers could really have that engaging experience, having the challenges and rewards revealed over time. This would also further emulate that camp-like feeling, as well as incentivize gradual progress as opposed to having that "everything all at once" approach, which often leads to people seeing something once and then never again.

In short: this is a wonderful idea! There is, however, a little bit to desire on the execution.

Camp NetGalley is a fun event to encourage reading and doing reviews. There is BINGO, a Scavenger Hunt, stickers and other fun activities! The completion gets the participants a new NetGalley badge!

This is so cute and fun! I love the Bingo board and will definitely be using that! I like that there are multiple ways to interact with NetGalley that I didn’t realize were accessible. Please have more themed activities like this in the future!!

This is a fun way to get some more books read on your TBR list. The Bingo card is a good reminder that it’s never too late to read and review those books that are the oldest on your shelf. It also encourages reading books outside your usual genres, supporting BIPOC authors, and even choosing a book based solely on the cover just for fun. I’m most excited about the scavenger hunt this week although I have no idea what to expect! I’m enjoying this fun summer edition and like that it’s structured so that people can participate to their level of comfort and availability.

This is such a cute and fun idea, I love all the interactive challenges especially the bingo! It's a nice welcome into the NetGalley community and I hope there will be more themed activities like this throughout the year.

This is a concise summary of ways to interact with NetGalley. Instructions are simple and straightforward, as well as intriguing enough to make people want to participate just for personal enjoyment.

This is such a good idea! I love the little challenges. They’re easy enough that anyone can complete them. And it makes reading that little bit more exciting for everyone! #campnetgalley!

Such a cute and funny idea ! :) I love that I'm able to journal my book reviews on an electronic format ! :) Thank you !

So cute! I love the bingo board and I'm looking forward to the scavenger hunt this week. I hope Netgalley does something like this again!

This is such a fun idea, especially as someone who is new to NetGalley! I love the bingo, as well as the journal and stickers. I’m hoping for more themed activities throughout the year!

This is such a fun idea! I love the creative spins that make content creation exciting and engaging. So far, I’ve really enjoyed bingo and the scavenger hunt. Initially, the bingo prompts seemed a bit daunting, but I quickly realized I had a ton of matches since camp started. I'm still planning the scavenger hunt for this week, and I’m excited to break out of the usual bookstagram routine for a while.

As someone who is still new to NetGalley, this has been a wonderful welcome to the community. Are you planning other themed group activities throughout the year?

We don't have summer camp here in the UK (or at least not when I was at school) so this was such a fun idea! I love the bingo and the unique stickers. The prompts are helping me to shape my reading. Hope this becomes an annual event.

My favourite review for the talent contest is in the link below

What a fun idea, love the badge potential. Looking forward to completing

Thank you NetGalley for a little adult summer fun

Fun summer activities, love any excuse to read more of my shelf! Next year, I want to find a way to interact more with other netgalley readers, but I'm just not on the social media where that might be happening this year.

This is my first Camp NetGalley and I have nothing but positive things to say! I loved the prompts and especially the bingo. The visuals and graphics were so cute as well! I wish there was a way to get a physical badge, maybe in the form of a sticker or bookmark.

I am excited to join Camp NetGalley this summer! The welcome packet does a great job outlining what it is, how it works, and making me excited for the events to come!

What a fun idea, well written and easy to understand and looking forward to doing all the bingo items on the list

This has been such a fun event so far! I love the bingo and the social aspect it brings to reviewing books.
