I participated in the Netgalley & Edelweiss Challenge for the last few years now, with varying degrees of success. Last year, I only managed to read a small number of books for this challenge.
But let’s not dwell on the past. I’m going for Silver level again this year, which means I have to read 25 books.

I will keep track of my progress here, and on my main reading challenges page.
Last year, I participated in the Netgalley challenge and successfully reached my goals. This year, I’m signing up for it again. My netgalley ratio is currently 90% and I’m very proud of that, so this year it won’t be about upping the ratio, but about keeping it above 90% (and as close to 100% as it gets).
I’m going for the “hardcore” level, which means reading 41+ books from Netgalley. I’ll track my progress each month, and add the books that count for this challenge to this page. I will also keep track of my progress in the sidebars.

Since most of my reading food comes from Netgalley, I decided to participate in the Netgalley challenge the moment I read about it. The challenge is hosted by Aeriel Avalon and it’s actually quite simple: read a number of books you’ve got from Netgalley during 2014.
I’m going for the hardest difficult level: hardcore. Which means I have to read 21+ books in the Netgalley reading challenge. I’ll track my progress each month, and add books that work for this challenge to this post.
You can also read about my progress in the sidebar.

Here are the books I’ve reviewed for this challenge so far. Links point back to the reviews.
My Netgalley ratio at the end of this month was 36.4%.
I ended up requesting a bunch of books from Netgalley. Bad move. My Netgalley ratio dropped, and I didn’t read all the books I requested.
My Netgalley ratio at the end of this month was 36,7%.
I seem unable to stop myself from requesting books, even though I want to bring my Netgalley review ratio up. Either way, I’ve scheduled some reviews for next month (that would be April, then) to catch up on old books I requested on Netgalley some time ago, so hopefully that’ll bring my ratio up.
My Netgalley ratio at the end of this month was 38,5%.
I requested a ton of books this month. DarkFuse and Llewellyn, two of my favorite publishers, uploaded the latest books in their catalogue, and I just couldn’t resist. Thank God I did end up reviewing a fair lot of Netgalley books this month.
My Netgalley ratio at the end of this month was 41,6%.
I cheated a little this month, because I added several mini-reviews for next month to Netgalley already. Anyway, my Netgalley ratio was 50%.
Mini-Reviews:
My Netgalley ratio at the end of the month was 58,7%. That’s a huge leap forward, especially considering I still requested quite a few books this month. My goal is to get the rating up to 70% by the end of this month.
I didn’t dutifully keep up with this challenge since June, so it’s impossible to say how much my ratio changed each month. But my ratio now, at the end of December, is 92%.
If you want a run down of all the books I read in between July and December, I suggest visiting my reading log, I Heart Yearly Reads, where I keep track of all the books I read each month. Lots of the books on there, especially the mini-review books, came from Netgalley.
I love reading challenges! I’m participating in five challenges this year. To see which ones, and my progress, visit this page.

I organize virtual book tours and other promotional events for authors on Enchanted Book Promotions. I can also help authors by setting up a custom book marketing campaign and/or PR Services.
I keep track of all the books I receive, read and review on my reading log, I Heart Yearly Reads. The book covers will also be uploaded to my Facebook Page.
