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 extension before the due date (31/01/23), if you think you can't complete it by then.

f you were a member (not a seedling) in Bloom 88. Failure to do so will result in a strike.

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)

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

is the winner for January. Your comments were the most helpful and detailed over the past month. Please PM to claim your January BotM sticker and banner.

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.
