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!

Kristie | 3595 comments I finished The Lindbergh Nanny The Lindbergh Nanny by Mariah Fredericks . I thought it was good, but a bit slow in places. 3.5 stars rounded up for the audio narration, which was very well done.

Lexi | 4247 comments Read one of my older ones - The Last Human by Zack Jordan (3 stars). Sadly, the author spent the second half of the book discussing philosophy versus writing some plot.

Urgh. I'm having a shocker with reading any NG books at the moment.

I started The Winners (Beartown, #3) by Fredrik Backman 3 months ago! Maybe I need to just bit the bullet and buy it on audio as that seems to be all of my reading these days


Gem ~ZeroShelfControl~ (zeroshelfcontrol) | 441 comments Managed to read 8 NGs this month, not quite the 10 I was aiming for but happy enough. Now lets just not talk about the fact I have 4 newly approved in the mix this month too :D


message 35: by Kristie (new)

Kristie | 3595 comments Karen, I was interested in that one, but thought it was too long for my current reading. I ended up skipping it. I seem to be doing a lot more audio too. This month I picked up two NGs on audio that I already had the ebooks for so I could get through them faster.

Maritza (spanishwhispers) | 2241 comments I read one book that I never downloaded and was already archived. Got it from ths library.

Kristie | 3595 comments I went a little backwards, but a couple of my added books are audios for ebooks I already had, so it's a little deceiving. Plus, I've already started a couple others, so I already have a jump on next month. :)

I really wanted to read it as I enjoy his writing so much but I am struggling to find time to sit down and dedicate to it. And I’m finding it difficult to engage with - perhaps because I can’t dedicate that block. I’ll finish my current audio and then use a credit for it on audible I think 😬

I completely understand. I went back and forth on it for a long time. If it was shorter I probably would have grabbed it, but ultimately I decided that I'd try to listen to it on audio after publication.
