Woohoo, finally did the BotM on time! This BotM will be due on You may ask for a extension before this date, but for full consideration for the April BotM, you do need to complete this one in time.

Please read the March BotM before the due date (4/1). If you were a member (not a seedling) in you are required to read the BotM. We did forget to say this in the top of that bloom, for which we apologize, but it is definitely bloom 49. Failure to do so will result in a strike.

The BotM is determined by the past four blooms (Blooms 45, 46, 47, 48) and the previous BotM (in this case, the February BotM for everyone who completed it before March 1st). 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.

For this past month in particular, many of you said the same thing, and mostly about grammar. We understand it's hard not to repeat what others have said, but we do ask in the future that you try to say something more original and avoid talking about grammar in your final comments (but inline comments are great for grammar!). We looked more to the people who elaborated on things other than grammar for this BotM, so keep that in mind for the future.

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)

You must read 2 chapters of "The Alastair Files" and leave the proper amount of feedback and comments. The requirements are the same as our standard bloom requirements. Please complete this by April 1st, 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 49 this applies to you, otherwise, you do not have to read the BotM for March.
