This is my first time EVER at summer camp and I’m all in. Looking forward to playing Camp NetGalley BINGO and discovering other fun things to do at camp. Thanks for creating this awesome camp experience!

I am excited to participate in this program. The information packet is very informative! I am excited to get started.

This is such a fun idea! I am looking forward to seeing all the posts and reviews about this event. I do think there is a lot more potential in this that could be taken advantage of. For next year, it would be fun to have competitions for ARCS that are limited in quantity. They could be review writing competitions, or photoshoot comps. There are lots of options! It would also be nice to have a few online panels discussing different aspects of being a book advocate, like how to write a review. (That's something I've been wanting to improve on for a while, but I'm not sure where to start!) Having live events would also increase visibility for the event as well.

Now it's time to debate whether or not a book I DNFed and left a scathing review for is appropriate for the talent show, haha. It would definitely stand out, but I think I'll stick to a positive review.

This is exciting & will keep me engaged this summer! A more fun version of school summer reading! The only thing missing is the free personal pan pizza 🤣

Thank you NetGalley for giving us Camp NetGalley! This is so much fun, and I cannot wait to complete all the tasks and get my badge!

This is going to give me such a boost this summer, when typically I tend to go into slumps.

Fun little idea. Looking forward to the challenges. Will be good to get some hype around reading and reviewing

Camp Netgalley? Sign me in! I love summer camps and I had to join this one! I'm really excited to read all my arcs throughout the month and engage with all of the other readers!

Hey NetGalley! I love the idea of this and would love it if NetGalley had more events like this during the year. This is a good start, but I would be worried about engagement trickling off during the month. The activities included in the packet are good, but you need a way to keep up engagement so we remember to participate/post about it. Kindle has surprise prompts/reading challenges each quarter that are only released on a certain date which help keep my interest. The badge is a definite plus! I love adding badges to my account on NetGalley.

Excited for camp netgalley, maybe this will get be back into writing reviews??? I have really gotten out of the habit of it since I rarely use goodreads for true posting anymore and have transitioned to TheStoryGraph. Netgalley should really consider getting a connection to that site... just sayin

I am excited to participate in Camp NetGalley. It's a motivating way to get more reading in during the summer months. Reminds me of Book-It from my childhood.

This is a super fun idea for reading NetGalley books over summer. Well designed and thought out. I can’t wait to participate.

This looks like such a fun idea! Looking forward to participating and perhaps "meeting" new bookstagram friends. Thank you NetGalley!

Camp NetGalley is a really fun idea for summer reading, and it's great to see a new badge after so long of inactivity on that front. Hopefully some new badges to earn are on the way for us in 2025! I'm also really digging the Bingo options, particularly reviewing the oldest book on our shelf and raising our feedback ratio (something I am in desperate need of doing...).

For my Talent Show entry, I'm going with one of my favorite reviews, penned back in December 2018 for Gabino Iglesias's COYOTE SONGS. You can read this review on Goodreads at https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2590745152.

I like the idea of this……but this may be difficult for some in practice.

I like the bingo card and the cute page for stickers!!!!

This is fantastic! What a fabulous start to summer reading! I already raced through this packet of information and love the bingo board. Now it's time to pack up my TBR pile and find some book escapes.
