Has anyone come across the new book in exchange for reviews site Readers First? Someone mentioned they'd had a couple of books from them so I had a look earlier. Very limited selection compared to NetGalley and predominantly UK based but it looks interesting. They do weekly draws for books but also have a points based system too. You get points for writing reviews and cross posting and once you hit a certain number you're entitled to a free book. I've signed up despite already having way too many ARCs but just curious if anyone else has come across it or heard anything about it?
I've had a really good month so far, have finished three different books for this challenge and we're only halfway through the month! All of them quite good as well!

Nice job, Nicole! Glad you've had some good reads too. I started The Orphan's Tale today, so I'll at least get through one this month!

No I haven't heard of it. Sounds like an interesting concept

well done!
Just got a new badge on Netgalley :)
Congrats!! Unfortunately I seem to be heading in the opposite direction.
I'm going backwards too. lol I just got another. Emma in the NightI'm almost done with The Orphan's Tale. It's good and I'm right at the end. I just need to find about another hour to finish it.
I can't believe how ahead I am. I haven't gone back to the other side of 80% since getting that badge. Something's wrong with me. Quick, someone take my temperature!
You need to hit 80% of your requests having had feedback sent through B.
Sweet! Hopefully I'll get it soon! Thought maybe it was more complicated. Thank you :)
But you only get it after reading 20 books & reaching the 80% feedback.

I was so close to getting 100% a few months ago (I got to 99%!!) and couldn't help myself and requested more books.
I know that I'm still in pretty good shape, but I'm trying to keep it achievable otherwise I get overwhelmed and don't read any... lol!!

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 June 17/18
**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!
