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.

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!

I've read two but need to write reviews. I also have found that reading on my phone helps when I am really busy.

Kristie | 3595 comments I agree. Reading on my phone is very convenient. I will usually resort to that when I'm waiting for an appointment or something similar and don't have my Kindle with me. I like it because my phone is so light and I always have it with me, but I really dislike the tiny print. Still... quite convenient.
