July activity:
I may have gone the wrong direction here, LOL! I only read one book from Net Galley (in the middle of a cozy mystery series so that has been the bulk of my reading this month). But I downloaded 6 new ones!
At end of July, my ratio is 77% and I have 22 books on my NG shelf.
Down to 30 to read but still have two left from May and 1 coming out in July. May NetGalley Challenge

I finished
which the cover was probably the best thing. Great premise, but writing needs more editing.
I only have 2 books left on my shelf!!
So I have download this as an audio
and requested the latest VE Schwab.
I also noticed the latest Sophie Hannah Hercule Poirot is on there as a read now, but it is PDF only (not that I really enjoyed the first, but I thought it was worth mentioning!!)

I just finished The Connellys of County Down. I went back and forth a bit, but ended up giving it 5 stars. I also loved We Are the Brennans by the same author.

I finished
Dark Corners. It was a great addition to the series. No second book slump here. My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I have achieved my goal of having a ratio of 30% that I set myself for this year let's see how high I can get it by the end of year🥳
Well, it was a pretty good month for my NetGalley reads. While I did read quite a few, I also added a bunch more to my shelf. I got caught up one day this month on their Read Now/Listen Now database and kind of loaded up on some books that sound really good.End of the Month

Updated msg. 8 to finish out July, pleased with keeping % the same, but I managed to add more books, lol. Can't. Resist.

I got caught one day downloading a handful of Read/Listen Now books. Good grief!!! It's not as if I don't already have plenty to read on my to-read shelf. Too many books to read, not enough time. Working full-time totally interferes with my reading time😊
Whew, I no longer have to read so many NetGalley books in a month. Now I can selectively choose the ones I really want to request and take my time reading them! NetGalley Challenge – July

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!
