I love everything about this!! It’s something fun to do in the warmer months maybe knock some books off the long tbr list that we all have . I have not been able to do everything since I have a lot going on in my personal life right now but I will be definitely saving all of this to do when I do have time. I would love it if netgalley continues to do these little challenges.

This was a great idea and a good way to encourage further reading throughout the summer.. My granddaughter is a reviewer in the making, doing her own reading challenge at the library.. Anything that promotes books and all things related is excellent in my opinion. Look forward to seeing this again next year. Maybe a similar one in January - a winter warmer or something!

This is such an awesome idea and I’m super excited to participate. The packet is cute, the bingo card is fun, and I like the idea of prompts to follow each week. This helps me stay engaged with others and feel a little nostalgia for summer reading camps.

This was such a cute way to make reading fun for adults and reviewers! I ended up being too busy to fully participate, but I thought the concept was great. I particularly loved the schedule and the Camp Netgalley Bingo. I will definitely look for this next year!

Thank you for providing a fun summer event for us Netgalley users! I haven't had a moment to participate just yet, but I am planning to.

Fun idea! I didn't have a chance to do most of the activities (it's summer reading time at my library), but hopefully you'll do it again next year.

Camp NetGalley was a fun challenge for the month of July. I really enjoyed the bingo card, IG story frames, and getting to connect with other readers through the hashtag. This “camp” made connecting readers and learning about new books fun and exciting. I think this would be something fun to themed around major holidays. I would love to participate again!

This was such a fun idea to put together! I’m a big fan of interactive activities and reading combinations!

This is such a great idea! I wish there was a way for readers to interact with each other. Maybe have buddy reads or 'reading clubs' groups next year (choosing a Summer/camp themed book in different genres so everyone who wants to can join in).

I think this was a fun camp! Some feedback I’d have would mostly be regarding the Bingo; unless you have a lot of titles on standby, (which I unfortunately do not yet, I’m getting there!) some of the things were things you might not be able to accomplish during “bingo week.” But I loved the camp overall; NetGalley can seem intimidating sometimes, so I love any resource (like these guides you all come up with) that make it accessible and fun!

My review for the Talent Show is for One Dark Window. I LOVED that book, and I think it deserves to get a little more hype that I see usually on social media! I think a lot of readers would really love it.

This was such a fun idea! The bingo card was a great way to widen the horizons of my reading and also keep track of different books. I love the packing list too - completely fits the summer camp vibes (and got me started on using totes again!). Can’t wait for next year!

Camp NetGalley Welcome Packet
Publisher: We are Bookish

This is part of the NetGalley Camp series.
This seemed like a fun summer activity.
However taking the time to show my accomplishments in “Share our talents” – never happened.
I love to read but this year my summer schedule seemed to be super hectic and I just didn’t have a lot of ‘free reading time’. SO I didn't want to take away from valuable and enjoyable 'reading time' to do the activities.
Long dark winter days just might be better!
Hmmm - Perhaps a ‘Winter Camp would work better for me!!!

Want to thank NetGalley and We are Bookish for this fun idea packet.

This summer's theme is "camping" so this was the best idea! The actives are engaging and I wish I would have had more time to participate more. I hope you do something like this again next year, maybe a little earlier.

Camp NetGalley was a fun experience! It was nice to connect with others that use this service on social media, following all of the posts and bingo cards.
Highly recommend others join this next year as well. Being newer to NetGalley, it helped me to feel more involved and find a community.

Camp NetGalley was fun. I wish it would have lasted for the whole summer so I could have more time to review more ARCs.

Here is a review that I am proud of: https://www.tiktok.com/@klparsonsauthor/video/7397093617766092062?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7379724979283625478

Thanks for the opportunity. I look forward to more activities like this in the future.

Love a summer reading event! It's like getting stickers at the library, what more could you want out of an online book-reading community? Thank you to all who put the event together, it's always such fun!

I really enjoyed Camp NetGalley this month! This was the first time I’ve participated in something like this through NetGalley. Although I initially downloaded it just for the badge on my profile, I genuinely did have a lot of fun meeting and interacting with new people on bookstagram through this. :)

I felt although I know moat about technology, I found the pack hard to use. Like downloading the bingo and rhe badges. But then added to it not a clue where I would start. I loved the idea of it, but could not action it.

Thank you We Are Bookish for finding a fun way for NetGalley readers to celebrate summer and mingle together as campers!

Talent show review post link for Look in the Mirror added!

This is a really fun concept but I got in on it late due to the camp theme - I'm just not a camp person! I really only ended up downloading it for the badge, but after reading through everything, I wish I had joined sooner. Maybe for next year, it could be "summer reading" themed and the badge is shaped like a slice of pizza (remember pizza hut?!) - I would have joined that way sooner!

More generally speaking, I enjoy when Netgalley adds resources like this. Their book advocate toolkit gave me great tips that improved my reviews, even as someone who's been here for 6 years. Definitely recommend checking it out if you haven't already!
