#NetGalleyNovember 2023 Wrap-Up @NeverEndingNG

Another NetGalleyNovember has come to an end. This month long readathon is about reading books on your NetGalley shelf with the aim of ending up with a better NetGalley ratio then when you started. So, how did I get on?

Well, I managed to read the number of books I aimed for and increased my NetGalley ratio by more than my original target. I’m really happy with this result. The challenge gave me the motivation to read some books that have been languishing in my virtual TBR pile for way too long.


I constructed my reading list based on the #NetGalleyNovember Bingo card and stuck to it, managing to match all but one of the categories. I never seem to have a book whose title begins with ‘N’!  Links from the titles will take you to my review.

#NetGalleyNovember 2023 My Reading List @NeverEndingNG

NetGalleyNovember Goals (1)This great challenge is back again for 2023. I’ve worked hard on my ratio and I don’t have that many books on my NetGalley shelf but some of them have been there a really long time. Since 2019 in the case of the oldest one.

So what is NetGalley November? Basically it’s a month long readathon where you focus on reading books on your NetGalley shelf. Whether you start with a shelf of books in single figures or one with hundreds of books, the aim is to end up with a better NetGalley ratio then when you started, and of course enjoy talking about the books you read with others.

NetGalley November 2022 BingoI’ve based my reading list on the #NetGalleyNovember Bingo card. I have one gap I can’t fill – unless I request a book specifically to match it which seems rather to defeat the object! Links from the titles will take you to the book description on Goodreads but eventually, I hope, to my review.
