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!

A Simple Twist of Fate by April Asher ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Fun urban fantasy) Immaculate Conception by Ling Ling Huang ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐(weird Lit-Fic)

Books read in Jun-5
Favorite book read in Jun- The English Wife by Anna Stuart but also for a light fun romance I did enjoy The Romance Rivalry by Susan Lee
Books read in July- 3
Favorite book read in July-
I really enjoyed all the books I read this Month, but for the old school Paranormal, my favorite was A Bargain So Bloody (Kingdom of Dark Magic, #1) by Vasilisa Drake It was everything I wanted and needed at the time. Can't wait for the next book in the series.

Books read in Aug-2
Favorite book read in Aug- Sunburned by Katherine Wood by Katherine Wood - I enjoy Katherine Wood and in this book I had fun following the clues and background stories. I didn't see that ending coming either.

Books read in Sept: 3
Favorite book read in Sept: The Once and Future Me by Melissa Pace by Melissa Pace- This book was a fun take on a historical sci-fi with time travel. In fact I feel it could have been a bit longer to flush out the future world a bit more. Or hopefully this does become a series and we get more story line.

Books read in Oct- 2
Favorite book read in Oct- I recommend A Scar in the Bone (A Fire in the Sky, #2) by Sophie Jordan if you have read the first book but definitely recommend The Charmed Library by Jennifer Moorman . both books I read were both ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.

Books read in Nov- 4
Favorite book read in Nov- easily A Land So Wide by Erin A. Craig as I am still thinking about it and want to reread already.

Books read in Dec-
