NetGalley November: Time's Up!



NetGalley November was a challenge organized by K-Books, Bookish Treasures & A Daydreamer's Thoughts to tackle our TBR list of books for review that we got from NetGalley.

I had originally aimed to read between 11-15 eARCs but I have massively failed at it! I did manage to improve my ratio a little bit, and I do plan to continue with the catching up during December, to try and start the New Year closer or on the 80% recommended ratio there!

What all did I manage to read?

- Covenant From Hell by Priscilla Royal
- Cracked by Eliza Crewel
- The Pentrals by Crystal Mack
- Pawn by Aimee Carter
- Bellman & Black by Diane Setterfield
- The Iron Traitor by Julie Kagawa

So 6 books total puts me in the Medium range of the challenge, and though I improved my ratio a lil bit, I'm still a while away from 80%, since right now I'm at 58%!

NetGalley November Challenge!

Completely by chance, following a link from Twitter to a giveaway, I stumbled upon this post from Bookish Treasures about a new challenge, called NetGalley November.

What's this challenge about? Well, apparently is not rare for any book blogger to have quite a huge TBR pile of eARCs on NetGalley to read and review (so glad to hear I'm not the only one!) so the ladies at K-Books, Bookish Treasures and A Daydreamer's Thoughts have created a challenge to attack that pile and improve our approved to reviewed ratio on NetGalley! In case you are wondering, yes publishers do take that ratio into account before approvals, so better get it into the recommended 80%!




There are different targets to choose from:

Easy: 1-4
Medium: 5-10
Hard: 11-15
Difficult: 16-20
Netgalley Superstar: 21+
 
To really give me a boost and aim high I'm gonna go for Hard and hope to read and schedule reviews for between 11 to 15 NetGalley ARCs! What I really need to achieve is get to the 80% ratio!

Wish me luck!
