Feed Your Readers, the NetGalley Challenge

Duration: Monthly

How to Participate:

The NetGalley Challenge is designed to not only get you to read your NetGalley books, but to also advertise your reviews for others to see because after all, that's what NetGalley is all about.

Though you may pop in/out at any time, the NetGalley Challenge will run on a monthly basis so you are able to see progress being made.


1. At the beginning of the month, post any/all of the following:
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!


**When linking your reviews, please link only to the book(s) here at GoodReads. At this time, linking to a personal blog is not allowed. Thank you!

I'm glad to hear All the Dangerous Things is good. I loved the author's first book and I've been looking forward to this one.

I finished!
The Winners (Beartown, #3) by Fredrik Backman
Took me over three months but better late than never ;)

It starts off incredibly slowly, but half way through the actual story gets going and was hard to put down

Kristie | 3595 comments Finished another The Villa The Villa by Rachel Hawkins . I enjoyed this one, but can not recommend it on audio even though the narrators did a good job. There are things included in the story (i.e. blog posts, snippets from another book, etc) that didn't translate well to audio. This was one time that I was glad I got both the audio and the ebook.

Lexi | 4254 comments I read all 500 pages of Africa Risen A New Era of Speculative Fiction by Sheree Renée Thomas and it was just not a good fit for me. It was 32 stories so only 15 pages each. It just dragged by the end for me. Still, one of my longer ones so good to have read. I also added one this month so staying at an even 80% and 31 books to read.

Kristie | 3595 comments I also just added The Angel Maker by Alex North and Make a Wish (Spark House, #3) by Helena Hunting . Plus, I picked up the audio for Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun (Finlay Donovan, #3) by Elle Cosimano , which I already have the ebook for. I'm thinking about grabbing Just a Regular Boy, but I've already added so many!

Oh, I also added Exiles (Aaron Falk, #3) by Jane Harper and Begin Again by Emma Lord .
