None read this month and one added. Still working on reaching 80% and resisting the impulse of adding any more books.
You can do it, Maritza!
I finished The Final Hunt
. I thought it was pretty good, but the author upped the pacing towards the end by adding a few "exciting" moments right in a row that felt unrealistic due to them being all dropped in at one time. 3.5 starsmy Final Hunt review
I read 4 and added none this month which kinda makes me itch and wonder if I am going to run out of books!I have requested some and they are all pending, so we will see!
That puts me at 94% feedback ratio.
Updated msg. 12, happy with this month's progress
I only read 3 this month, but I was able to move my rating up another point to 90%! A successful month.NetGalley Challenge – May

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!
