Announcement; Netgalley November
Hey Guys!
Today I am here to tell you all about an event I will be hosting, Netgalley November!
So I have a large pile of netgalley books that I simply forget to read because they’re on my kindle and so I can’t physically see them everyday. But this is something that I want to try and sort out because I feel eleven times of guilty when I realise how many netgalley books I have to read and review. But, when I decided that I needed to get on with reading them, I realised that I may not be the only one in this position and there may be others who are in needed of giving their netgalley lists some TLC as well, hence, I came up with Netgalley November.
What is Netgalley November?
The idea is to read as many Netgalley books that month as possible. I, personally, will only be reading Netgalley books but you may feel it better to just read more netgalley books than you normally read in a month. It’s completely up to you!
How does it work?
At the end of this post is a linky list, just add your url to that list and you’ll officially be entered as a participant. I will then e-mail everyone on the list a few days before November to remind you all about the challenge/task you have entered, at which point you can always pull out if you feel you can no longer participate.
Once November begins, I will be posting a goals post and then I will post weekly updates about what books I’ve read, how I’m doing, etc, and will always include a linky for you to add up your own goals and updates – but this is not mandatory! By doing this together, we have the chance to cheer each other on and remind ourselves why bloggers are so freaking awesome!
What else?
I am also hoping to host one or two twitter chats during the event but dates are TBC at the moment! This will be sorted out closer to the date!
What if I only read one netgalley book?
That’s okay! Because at least you’ve read even one! The idea of this event is that it is a challenge to try and read as many netgalley books as we can, but there’s no such thing as losing! You simply join in the event to give it a go and have some fun while you’re at it!
Do I need to write a post to sign up?
Definitely not! But, if you wanted to help spread the word by writing an “I’m in” post on your blog, I certainly won’t stop you! And there’s always Facebook and Twitter as well!
And to make things easier for you, here’s the grab code for the button! (if you want it a different size, don’t hesitate to ask!)
**EDIT**
This event is now being co-hosted with Kayleigh at K Books and Laura at Bookish Treasures! There won’t be many changes but there is an introduction of goal levels and a new banner to choose from!
Levels
Easy: 1-4
Medium: 5-10
Hard: 11-15
Difficult: 16-20
Netgalley Superstar: 21+
If you have any other questions or queries, please do not hesitate to ask!
Also, if there is already a Netgalley November, please let me know! I’m not trying to steal someone else’s ideas!
Will you be joining me?

I have way too many overdue Netgalley books – does this count for reviews that need to be done as well? That pile is way higher than the TBR pile…
Faye (Daydreaming_Star)
Sure! I don’t see why not!
Hannah
Awesome! I’m definitely a part of this then!

I usually participate in Goldilox’s NetGalley Knockout event, but I didn’t do so great by the time it wrapped up last month, so I may need to sign up for your event too. My feedback to approval ratio is an embarrassing 46.8%.
