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!

Kristie | 3595 comments Welcome to NetGalley, Pat!

Your feedback ratio is listed on you profile page. When you go to NetGalley click on your name in upper righthand corner. It may have your picture there if you added one. That will bring you to your profile page. Right under your name is your feedback ratio.

NetGalley recommends trying to keep your feedback ratio at 80% or higher, but when you first start it will almost always be low, so don't worry about it too much to start. If you've only received two books and reviewed one, then you'll have a 50% feedback ratio because you've given feedback to NetGalley on half the books they have given you. As you receive and review more books that number will change less and less with each book.

Lexi | 4254 comments I've added three as well but at least finished 1 and have a chance to finish a 2nd. Still, wrong direction.
And Put Away Childish Things by Adrian Tchaikovsky Mortal Follies by Alexis Hall The Saint of Bright Doors by Vajra Chandrasekera

Lexi | 4254 comments I kept putting All Dressed Up by Jilly Gagnon off as I told it was a mess and the characters were annoying. Yes, it was a mess and annoying, and I will add really cliche ending to the list. It is finished at least. Lowest rated ARC must count for something.
