Due on May 30th by 5 pm EST. You may ask for a 2-day extension before this date.

Please read the May Book of the Month by 5/31. If you were a member (not a seedling) in Bloom 9 you are required to read the BotM. Failure to do so will result in a strike.

The BotM is determined by the past three blooms and the previous BoTM. The previous bloom 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 author. Remember, only one can be the BotM, so try to make your feedback stand out.

Example:

Bloom #1 (10% of the point consideration)

Bloom #2 (10% of the point consideration)

Bloom#3 (10% of the point consideration)

Previous BotM (70% of the point consideration)

Without further ado, please give a big round of applause to for being our May Book of the Month winner! Your book:

Is the winner for May. Your comments were the most helpful and detailed over the past month. Please PM Mo () to claim your May BotM sticker and banner.
