a: How many books on your NetGalley shelf
b: What books are on your NG shelf
c: What your Netgalley feedback ratio is

2. During the month, read the NetGalley books that you can AND update your post with your reviews. (You can do this after each book or wait until the end of the month.)

3. At the end of the month, update your post and with:
a: What books you read
b: Link(s) to your review(s)**
c: Your updated shelf count
d: Your updated books to read
e: Your updated ratio

Then start a new post for the next month!

Read:
1. The Daughter of Doctor Moreau by Silvia Moreno-Garcia , Silvia Moreno-Garcia, P: 7/19/22, Read: 7/7, Enjoyed this book, but it definitely took a long time to pick up. The creepy father mixing humans and animals and the people helping with this was a scary book with a great setting in Yucatán, Mexico.
My Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
2. Slenderman Online Obsession, Mental Illness, and the Violent Crime of Two Midwestern Girls by Kathleen Hale , Kathleen Hale, 7/12. This was a good book, but a difficult read, as it was about a violent crime by two mentally ill twelve year olds. Definitely, have to be up for that.
My Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
3. Nikola Tesla by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara , Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara, 7/13, I really love this series: Little People, Big Dreams, it’s for children, but I always learn something about the person featured.
