The NetGalley and Edelweiss Reading Challenge is hosted by Socrates’ Book Reviews and runs from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. This challenge was created to help bloggers/reviewers tackle their NetGalley and Edelweiss commitments. There are different levels to aim for, from Bronze to Diamond!
