So, here we go. Some of the details:
- Challenge runs January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017.
- As long as it comes from Netgalley or Edelweiss, it counts.
- There is a hashtag, which I hope I will remember to use, but possible I will forget once or twice. Anyhow, the hashtag is #NGEW2017.
If you wish to sign up or want to learn more, here is the link to the sign up page:
I am committing to the following challenge level:

Update note (July 14, 2017): With Doom Patrol, Volume 1, I complete my initial challenge commitment. It's 25 books to the next level, and I think I can do 14 more before the year ends, so I am going to upgrade my commitment as follows:
Silver = 25 books read and reviewed.

Hello! I am an author about to put my new picture book The Big Adventures of Tiny House up on either Edelweiss or NetGalley. I have heard good and bad about both sites, and I am trying to get more opinions, especially from librarians.
Do you have a preference, or do you consistently use both sites? Where would children's librarians be more more likely to seek out new picture books to add to their collection?
Thanks so much for your help!
xoxo Susan
Susan:
I use both, but I tend to use and prefer NetGalley more. The site is, for us reviewers, a lot more organized and easier to use and find things. I often browse it to find new things to review,and it is much more user friendly than Edelweiss. I also get the impression NetGalley is just better known (or at least wider use), but that is personal observation.
Best.
