In the Sunflower Book Club, members and their books are randomly assigned weekly pairings to read two chapters a week. New assignments are posted Sundays EST. All books and people are welcome, apply inside!
Hello everyone! As stated before, the deadline for the BotM has now been shifted to be on the last day of every month. Please remember that you may ask for a 2-day extension before the due date (31/01/23), if you think you can't complete it by then.
You are required to read the January BotM on or before the due date (31/01/23), by 11:59 PM ET,if you were a member (not a seedling) in Bloom 88. Failure to do so will result in a strike.
Please comment "done" along with chapter numbers when you are done with the BotM, so it is easier for us to check it. Otherwise, your assignment may get lost in the comments and you'll end up getting a strike for no reason.

How to be the next BotM?
The BotM is determined by the past four -- two in this case because of the break – blooms (87 and 88) and the previous BotM (in this case, the December BotM). The previous BotM is the most important and, ultimately, what we look at when deciding the next Reviewer of the Month to have their book featured. Your comments must meet our standard requirements and provide adequate feedback to the writer. Remember, only one can be the BotM, so try to make your feedback stand out.
Not a lot of you did the Book of the Month for December, which is understandable since there was a break, but you will receive a book of the month strike until you complete your assignment. In terms of those who did do the Book of the Month, more comments were genuine this time – good job!
Example:
Bloom #1 (10% of the point consideration)
Bloom #2 (10% of the point consideration)
Bloom #3 (10% of the point consideration)
Bloom #4 (10% of the point consideration)
Previous BotM (60% of the point consideration)

Everyone Else
You must read 2 chapters of Killer Instinct: Carrie Unleashed and leave the proper amount of feedback and comments. The requirements are the same as our standard bloom requirements. For Advanced Sunflowers, that means that your requirement is either a 5+ sentence final comment or a 7+ in-line comments with a two sentence final comment for BOTM. Please complete this by January 31st, 2022 and comment "Done" below or you will receive a strike.
You may ask for a 2-day extension if needed, but you must ask before it is due. If you were a member in Bloom 88, this applies to you, otherwise, you do not have to read the BotM for January.
