I made it through the books from May and only have one more from June! This month I'd like to conquer the June and July books on my shelf:
I'll count the ones from August and September as a bonus if I get to them this month:

d: Your updated books to read:
Here are the next five I'd like to tackle. This would cover me through a couple very old ones I've been ignoring and through the beginning of August publication dates.
e: Your updated ratio: 75%
I have to say that knowing I was reporting in by tomorrow made me motivated to finish those last two reviews this month! There is one less book on my shelf (even though I added some) and my percentage is up one point, so I'm counting October as a win.

This is my first time participating in this challenge. But I feel like my NetGalley addiction is getting out of hands and I need to do something about it. I hope that with this challenge I'll get a handle on my tbr list.NetGalley Challenge – October

Welcome, CrazyCat! It has certainly helped me to keep track!
Alex, I think that's why so many of us are participating. It's hard to stay on top of our lists when we keep requesting more books. Plus, there are all those other books clamoring to be read that take up our time. ;-)
Haha, hey new ladies, my Netgalley habit had gotten out of hand before I joined this challenge. Now it's still out of hand, but I get through the books faster :P

Shelf 86* not sure how it got to that but with new format it seems to have some I did not have but ratio same. Odd
Yes, exactly..... All those other books coming out and demanding my attention. And it is so hard to NOT click home a book when it is presenting itself in all his beauty. It really should know better and not tempt innocent people. ;)
Unfortunately I think this challenge has made my NetGalley addiction worse. Talking about it and seeing the books other people have just encourages me to go on more and once I'm there I can't resist.This is effectively an addiction support group for me :)
Haha...this thread keeps me accountable. I request less, possibly because I know I have to come here and admit it after I'm approved. Lol

Bored at work so looking over the Read Now section. Two books added to my shelf already :/
Heeey I've just hit as high as 50% on Netgalley, which I think is the highest I've been thus far!!
I made it to the dizzying heights of 72% yesterday and then got approved for a couple of titles I requested so I'm back to 71 :(
Hahaha isn't that the way. I'm staying so far away from the website this week. Let's see how long this lasts.
I just read and reviewed
. It was a really great cookbook. Unfortunately, they only offered the pdf and not the Kindle version. I need to remember how to get it onto my Kindle before it archives, because once it archives it is lost from my collection and I can no longer access it or try out recipes.
Up to 91%.
One to Five review
Kristie I've still not figured out how to get them onto my kindle. I tend to just save them onto my laptop. Although the last recipe book I got was a bit all over the place. Even as a pdf it was a struggle to follow the recipes.
I've transferred other books from my laptop (Adobe Digital) to my Kindle before, but not from NetGalley and I don't remember how I did it. I'll have to look into it. Do you save yours differently? I lose NetGalleys when they archive, but I've had other books on there for years.
While traveling this weekend I read the latest in a cozy mystery series I've really been enjoying. I just posted my review for

I feel as though we've been a quieter bunch than usual this month so far. Clearly spending all our time reading instead of talking.
Agreed Nicole! In fact I've read and reviewed three books this weekend, so here all of my links if anyone is interested:

In other news, I finally crossed the 70% mark which was surprisingly satisfying. :)

Woo hoo Marcelina! I've been too busy with work to do much reading or reviewing. In fact, I'm grading tonight after class and before going to bed instead of reading something fun.
I am reading a lot of Netgalley books this month, but I've also got a couple of ebooks that aren't from Netgalley that I'm excited to read, so... multi tasking?
I started the month well then got bored at work for a few days and went on a request spree. I've now been caught up in Wobble madness again. Scared to look at my ratio. I am however reading a pre Netgalley book at the moment (I requested the 2nd in a series so frantically reading the first)
I read a lot of non-NG books. However, I just realized that a bunch of books I've requested recently are now out, so I need to get them read and reviewed. Yikes!

↑ busted. ;)
Nicole wrote: "I feel as though we've been a quieter bunch than usual this month so far. Clearly spending all our time reading instead of talking."Nope, I'm just feeling guilty because I've been reading library books and owned books rather than focusing on my NetGalley responsibilities. Out of sight, out of mind.

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!
Do you ever get so caught up in your reading that you don't want to stop to write your reviews?
Thinking about that, it was decided we need a "Review Weekend", once each month, set aside to write those reviews you've been not doing in favor of reading!
Review Weekends will vary randomly each month and is meant to be a time set aside to review. Take one, or both days and get caught up on reviews so you can spend the rest of the month reading!!
The next Review Weekend is set for October 15th & 16th
**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!
