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.

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 I finally got around to reviewing The Last Orphan The Last Orphan (Orphan X #8) by Gregg Andrew Hurwitz . I had both the ebook and audio, so it took two books off my shelf. :) And that brought me up to 97%!! I still hope to read a few more before I request again. We'll see. I'm pretty happy with that ratio, though I'd be even happier if I didn't have so many past publication at the moment.

Vicki Willis | 496 comments I finished The Ferryman by Justin Cronin The Ferryman ahead of the publishing date which is a great feat for me. I don't always understand sci fi and this one was really long. I almost didn't request it because I was worried I would get bogged down and not be able to finish.
I actually enjoyed it and gave it 4 stars.
I am hoping to finish 2 others that I have started before the end of the month and stay caught up.
