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

Please read the July Book of the Month by 7/30. If you were a member (not a seedling) in Bloom 17 you are required to read the BotM. Failure to do so will result in a strike.

How to be the next BotM?

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)
