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 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!

I finished
The Unfortunate Side Effects of Heartbreak and Magic by Breanne Randall
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 The Nine Lives of Bianca Moon (Morton Digby #1) by Delas Heras 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!!)

Lol, I can relate! 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😊
