2013 NetGalley Reading Challenge

Once I started blogging in February, I requested everything I was the least bit interested in from NetGalley. I didn't know how many I would actually be approved for. At first I got declined quite a bit and then I got a bunch of approvals all at once. It felt like Christmas since I love reading and I have loved seeing all those books on my Kindle to read. Then I had to create a spreadsheet to keep track of them all. To date I have over 100 approvals. That's a lot of books to read! I would really like to read them all and my goal is to be able to do that, but we'll see.

The 2013 NetGalley Reading Challenge is hosted by Red House Books. I decided joining this challenge would probably be a good idea. I'll definitely make the Gold Star level having to only read 30+ titles. I have a bookshelf on Goodreads for NetGalley titles (I'm always updating it), so that will be how I'll keep track of what I have to-read and what I've read. Here is a list of titles from NetGalley I've already read or are definitely going to be reading, at this point, and links to their Goodreads page or my review.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers who use them for letting me read so many fabulous books!

By the end of the year I've read 38 eARCs from NetGalley, which meets my goal of 30. Woohoo! Next year I'm planning on reading a lot more than that. :)
