2025 Netgalley and Edelweiss Reading Challenge

 

 

I participated in this challenge in 2023 and 2024 and plan to do it again in 2025.  It is being hosted by Socrates Book Reviews.  I was able to review 94 books in 2024 between Netgalley and Edelweiss and this challenge is always great way to keep myself accountable and on top of reviews.

I currently have 40 outstanding ARCs on my TBR right now, 14 of those are 2025 releases.  

I'm going to shoot for Platinum again this year.  I haven't been able to get to 100 Netgalley reviews in a year quite yet.  I do review for other sources but they aren't all on Netgalley and Edelweiss.

I'll link my reviews below as I post.  To keep myself accountable, I'll be posting my tentative TBR based on release dates and approvals as the year goes on.
