This is such a fun idea and I downloaded the guide immediately! It will encourage me to write even more detailed and thoughtful reviews so I can share my best work for the talent show. I also like the weekly activities idea. I wish there were more physical things to do like the bingo sheet - maybe craft guides or something?

I’m excited for Camp NetGalley and I’m so glad I found this community.

This is such a fun way to encourage reading during July, when many people take their family vacations and may not be as motivated to read. I cannot wait to use this guide!

A bit too cutesy for me. I'd rather have activities geared towards catching up on my to-read and to-review NetGalley shelves. Real-life stickers, not virtual ones, would be cool!

This is my first year doing Camp NetGalley and I'm so stoked to be a part of the community! I think my favorite review I've done so far has been for Beautyland, and I also got to gush about the book with the author herself at a reading!

I’m so excited to be a part of Camp NetGalley! What a fun way to engage in the reading community. I love badges and getting a chance to get something unique is always fun. I like the idea of weekly challenges too, I am a big reader so bingo challenges aren’t really my thing but love seeing others participate! I also love the idea of showcasing different reviews. Reviews are so unique to a reader and how they connected to a book (so long as they don’t contain spoilers). Thanks NetGalley!

Camp NetGalley is such a fun way to support readers all over the world! Super stoked for this event and opportunity to be apart of it! Can’t wait for Bingo & to see all the fun activities! :)

I always love the idea of encouraging more reading! When daylight is longer, it makes it easier to read more books so seeing others reading, whether out and about or social media is more fun! Plus, I enjoy seeing what other people are reading when they post about it! Would love to see more ways for readers to engage with each other next year!

This is such a fun way to get all of us NetGalley reviewers involved on the site! I loved the bingo cards and other cute checklists!! Excited to keep reading my way through camp NetGalley!!

Camp NetGalley is an exciting way to stay engaged in reading and reviewing titles over the summer. I can’t wait to complete the bingo game specifically.

This sounds fun! I had to read it a few times to understand some of the instructions, also I love the bingo but I feel like a lot of places posted BINGO challenges for the summer a little earlier. I’m signed up for so many BINGOs. Very creative though and I’m looking forward to participating!

I cannot express how much I enjoyed listening to Imogen Church. Her narration was expressive and heart felt. There were a lot of characters for her to voice and she was able to provide enough distinction that it wasn’t overly difficult to tell when one character ended and another started. And this was no easy feat, given she voiced characters of different genders, ages, and nationalities. Her reading style and narration voice {not character voice} was soothing, bordering on relaxing, which says a lot given the subject matter.

I’d definitely listen to an audiobook narrated by Imogen Church again and would recommend her to those who are new to audiobooks.

I only started today but I'm already having a lot of fun and am excited to use this to help further my reading goals!

This seems like a perfect way to kick off summer! Grab your favorite book, a cool drink, and a tote bag for goodies and hop on a camping adventure. Who doesn’t love BINGO? I can’t wait to earn some badges!

Camp NetGalley sounds like a fun challenge for summer reading. I am most looking forward to the bingo card, but I'm not sure how to use it just yet. In the future, it might be exciting to set up some kind of community aspect to the program.
Thanks NetGalley and We Are Bookish for providing this nerdy summertime entertainment!

Love the Welcome Packet. The templates for socials in particular are much appreciated! The badge and sticker links are a fun idea as well. I'm curious to see what events there are for the month! My suggestion for next year would be to see if there are publishers or/and independent authors you could *partner* with to have a selection of auto-approved e-ARCs available for participants to select from throughout the month! It would give readers a chance to increase their feedback percentages AND give exposure to upcoming books and authors!

I love the idea of summer camp and earning badges. I mean who doesn’t!!! The Camp NetGalley Welcome Packet definitely helped me understand what needs to be done to earn badges. Can’t wait to start earning badges this month. A great way to have fun with books.

I like the idea of Camp Netgalley, however, I don’t think the instructions are really all that clear, and it took me a minute to figure out what exactly is happening here! I think in the future the instructions could be a little more specific and I would be interested to see more ways for us as a community to connect, maybe a discord server or some other platform that allows users to connect more easily! For the talent show, I am submitting my review for Not Another Love Song by Julie Soto - I absolutely loved that book!!

I suppose this is a cute idea, but I'm a little confused and don't feel like there is a lot to do with the community. A more interactive event would be a lot better. I guess we will see how it all goes, but right now i'm skeptical.
