Thanks for doing this! This is really fun and a cool thing to do. Love netgalley and the fun we have.

This was a fun little packet. If you need some summer reading ideas, this is a good place to start! There are free weekly activities, bingo board, reading stickers, and more.

I absolutely love the idea of this, downloaded the pdf, and got excited. That said I haven’t been following along socially and I second guessed the bingo sheet. This summer has been busy so far but the very act of getting this reminded me about how much I love NetGalley and reminded me to try to open NetGalley or Kindle (reader of choice on my phone) more often so leaving it as is seems successful too. Thanks for doing this.

I love the idea of Camp Netgalley, and the activities and opportunities for learning look really fun. I won’t have the time to actively participate in all of it this year, but I’ll do what I can, and I hope they run it again next year!

I am a little late to this but I LOVE this idea for a fun summer challenge! I know I am not alone when I hold such nostalgia for the summer reading challenges when I was younger and miss the excitement that brings! I love this idea and I am so excited to be joining for the last couple of weeks.

This reminds me of the reading challenges libraries would hold over the summer when I was a kid, with a bingo board to fill out as you’re reading Netgalley requests and events to focus on every week. It takes place entirely online, and is fun if you’d like some motivation to try books you normally might not. Thanks to We Are Bookish and Netgalley for setting this up!

Such a good idea!
I loved the fact that you're able to win a badge, I really liked the Bingo and all the other bookish things!
I would love to see a buddy read or book club event next year. It would be a great way to do something a bit more social!

Camp NetGalley is such a great idea! It reminds me of reading challenges from the library in the summer. I especially liked the free stickers and the bingo was fun to complete. I'm excited to add another badge to my profile! I would love it if there were more badges to be earned in the future. Camp NetGalley was a delightful experience and I hope to do it again next year!

I have had so much fun participating in Camp Net Galley! I don't have a ton of feedback other than that it would be cool to see more of the participants featured on the NetGalley social media pages!

NetGalley Camp is so much fun! I downloaded the packet and posted some of it on my story. I’m now doing the bingo card. There’s also digital stickers and a lot of things to keep you occupied!

What a fun event!

My favorite parts:
-the opportunity to earn a profile badge
-the little boost in our netgalley percentage by participating, I'm just being honest! :)
-instagram templates

Ideas for next year:
-a new instagram story template for each week of camp
-maybe a group buddy read and discussion at the end?!

Thanks for the fun, NetGalley!

I love the idea of Camp NetGalley. The stickers are cute and fun. The bingo board is fun and has a variety of prompts. I wish the Instagram story templates were also available in Instagram post size. I'm not a big user of Instagram stories so this is a bummer. I also wish the scavenger hunt prompts were available in a list form so that I don't have to worry about missing any of them.

The book for my talent show submission is my review for Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors. Definitely my new favorite book. I truly think everyone needs to read this book, even if they don't even have siblings.

This is such a fun idea! I especially love a good bingo! I liked that they weren't all books, because 24 books in a month can be tough to do. Other activities made completing the bingo achievable. Having a daily scavenger hunt is a great way to keep people involved rather than going off to complete the tasks alone. Can't wait for next year!

I love the bingo board! How fun! The badge is very cute too, that is a fun incentive to check out the Camp NetGalley packet. I don't do too much social media so the hashtag and the online scavenger hunt aren't my favorite, but they are fun activities for those that do like to partake with social media. A fun idea for next year may be something along the lines of a "If you enjoyed this book, try these authors" prompt.

Love the idea of earning badges! I like the option to tailer participation to individual desires. (Bingo for me was a no because I forget to track, but the tote bags were fun!) I'd really like to see more engagement activities like this :0)

This a fun idea! Thanks for creating it, Netgalley! Looking forward to having a fun little summer challenge.

This is such a fun idea and I'm excited to participate. Love a reading challenge bingo card and I'm hoping it gets me through my current TBR!

For my review, I submitted one of my earliest reviews because reading it made me want to re-read the book all over again. (The Trojan War Museum by Ayse Papatya Bucak)

Such a fun bookish challenge! I really enjoyed participating in this event and can’t wait for more of these in the future!

Family challenges made me unable to participate as fully as I wanted to this year, but the concept was fun! I enjoyed the challenge of the bingo card! I'll definitely participate in other events like Camp Netgalley in the future. It helps me prioritize my back log reading.
