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 (30/11/22), if you think you can't complete it by then.
You are required to read the November BotM on or before the due date (30/11/22), by 11:59 PM ET,if you were a member (not a seedling) in Bloom 83. 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 blooms (79, 80, 81, 82) and the previous BotM (in this case, the October 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.
We were very happy with this month's comments. Quite a few of you used the Bloom Bonus questions this month, both in your regular blooms and it also reflected in the BotM. We actually had a hard time narrowing down to who the BotM was going to be. We're glad you're finding the Bloom Bonus helpful in providing feedback of better quality, and we hope you continue to do so. Please let's keep this up in upcoming BotMs and weekly assignments. Following is the breakdown of how we assess your assignments for the BotM.
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 Garden of Light 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 November 30th, 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 83, this applies to you, otherwise, you do not have to read the BotM for November.
