2025 Reading Challenges: Netgalley and Edelweiss Reading Challenge
I’m signing up for the 2025 Netgalley and Edelweiss Reading Challenge hosted by Yvonne @ Socrates’ Book Reviews. The purpose of this challenge is pretty obvious: to read and review your NetGalley and Edelweiss ARCs (and hopefully improve your NG percentage.)
Challenge guidelines…
- The challenge runs from January 1, 2025 – December 31, 2025. There is no deadline to sign up.
- Everyone is welcome to participate – you do not need to have a blog.
- Any genre, release date, length, etc. counts – it just needs to be a book from NetGalley or Edelweiss.
- Books can count for more than one challenge that you are participating in.
- The first day of each month, Yvonne will post a monthly “link-up” for you to link your reviews. If you forget one month, no worries, just catch up the next month.
To sign-up…
- Make a blog post stating the level you intend to read in 2025 and link that blog post to the linky on the sign-up page.
- If you do not have a blog then state your reading level in the comments on the sign-up page, and how you will be sharing your book reviews.
- Last but not least, be sure to go back to Yvonne’s blog every month and link in those reviews. This is really the hardest part – remember to do the monthly “link-ups”!
My goal: I am joining at the Silver level: 25 books. That’s going to be a real challenge for me, but I have a lot of ARCs I need to read or reread and then write reviews for. It’s not so much the reading that I find challenging, it’s the review-writing, and so I’m going to allow myself to count reviews for books that I read in the past few months but haven’t yet reviewed (assuming I remember the book well enough and took good enough notes to write a review.)

Best of luck! I totally feel your comment that it’s not the reading that’s the hard part… it’s the reviewing. I’ve had to remind myself lately that even a short review is still a review, and is better than nothing. I hope you find something that helps you with the reviews!
