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!

I have that one on hold from the library, but I still need to read book #1. I took it out once, but kept falling asleep and had to return it. I will admit that it was not the book's fault. I was just super tired and traveling. lol I'm waiting to get the first book back so I can read that one before book #2. Glad you enjoyed it. I will be prepared for silly!

Kristie | 3595 comments I finished Gilded by Marissa Meyer Gilded by Marissa Meyer. I really enjoyed it, but I didn't know it was part of a series when I requested it. It is not a full story, so I will need to read additional books to find out how the story ends. Pretty disappointed with that. I'll link my review when I post it.

message 30: by Kristie (new)

Kristie | 3595 comments I forgot to mention that I added the audio of Dark Horse Dark Horse (Orphan X, #7) by Gregg Andrew Hurwitz . I'm pretty excited about it. I really enjoy this series and have gotten ARCs of the last couple of books, but I end up buying the audios because my husband also enjoys the series. Now that I have an ARC of the audio, we will listen to it together on our long drive to visit family for Christmas. :)
