NetGalley October 2021

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

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!

Added The Chase

Almost done my first NG read for the month.

[Kristie]

Finished my first review of the month!

[Vicki Willis]

I finished one too, Her Last Holiday and boy was it bad!
Just unbelievable and ridiculous (even for me, who likes everything).
Trying to find something nice to say about it when I write this review!

[Kristie]

Oh no! That's disappointing and it's never fun to have to write negative reviews for ARCs.

[Lexi]

Bit of a late start, but I need some accountability. I just wrote the review for my last one for October and have one left from September. However, I have 32 that are published already that I am behind on.

Finished These Silent Woods . Really excellent, emotional story.

my These Silent Woods review

[Vicki Willis]

That one sounds great Kristie. Nice review!

I finished The Second Marriage
It was good and entertaining.

[Lyndi (mibookobsession)]

I may be biased because it's based in my home state, but this book is excellent:

My Review

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Finished which was ok. I feel like I am getting a lot of so-so holiday reads at the moment. Need to move to a new genre!!

[Kristie]

I just added Gilded by Marissa Meyer. I've enjoyed her other work, so I'm looking forward to it. Unfortunately, it publishes Nov 2nd, so it's going to be late, but that's ok.

[Connie N.]

Excellent month, especially since I moved up another percentage point AND took off the oldest book on my review list.

[Vicki Willis]

I read 2 and added 2 and my percentage stayed the same.
But I am down to just 3 that are past publication. My goal for the year was to get caught up on that and I am on track.

[Kristie]

I was the same. I reviewed two and added two. My percentage stayed the same. I have two that are past publication. I'd love to start the new year having those reviewed, but I will probably not get to them both. I'd be pretty happy if I get at least one of them off my shelf.

Msg. 3 updated from yesterday's ARC finished. I'm happy with this month and even went up a percent, which won't stay for long, lol.

[Lexi]

I got one more book finished in Oct - . It meanders and is very lyrical so I would only suggest it if you like that kind of book.

[Kristine]
