Sunflower Book Club

Bloom 101: April 30 - May 6

🌻

Admin positions are opening up at SFBC and we would very much like it if the members of the club are the ones running the club. If you're interested, please PM the SunflowerCommunity  account. With things getting a bit hectic for me, I'm looking to leaving the Club as overall admin – which means the club will need someone to run it. I'll wait around for two weeks, but if there's no new overall admin, then the Club will have to close.

Please remember to tag the comment checker assigned to you and mention the chapter numbers that you've read. This reduces the chances of your comments getting lost and you getting a strike for no reason.

The April Book of the Month has been announced and is due this week. If you were a member in Bloom 97 (including members with hiatuses, strikes, and extensions, everyone EXCEPT seedlings - both Standard and Advanced Sunflowers), you have to read 2 chapters for the April BotM by the 30th of April, 2023. Please remember that if you don't have enough time to do the BotM, you can ask for a 2-day extension.

Bloom Bonus

Questions that focus on specific topics you can comment on. You can use these questions or prompts to leave better feedback on your partner's book. The Bloom Bonus is not mandatory, but keep in mind that the better your comments are, the more likely you are to be selected as the next BotM.

Theme - Theme is often the undercurrent of a lot of stories. It's important to know what your story is trying to say. Based on the chapters you've read, what are some of the themes that you think might be being explored in the story?

🌻 Permanent Pairings 🌻

Like your partner's story or the feedback they gave you? Why not become permanent pairs? You can grow as readers and writers together and share feedback each bloom. When it's time for the bloom each week, you can be paired with this same person. To do this, ask them if they are interested. If they are, PM the account and let us know you're both interested.

🌻 Sunflower Blooms 🌻

This is where Sunflower members (both Standard Sunflowers and Advanced Sunflowers), who are not on extension, hiatus, in a permanent pair and have completed all previous assignments go. Please note you only have to read two chapters of the story you are assigned and comment on both. If you are in a pairing of 3, you only have to read ONE chapter of each book you're paired with (two total). Comment "done" here along with the chapters you read once you're done. Failure to do so might result in a strike. If you are with someone whose title says "Reader Only," they read two chapters of your book, but you don't have any to read of theirs in return. Please still comment "done reader only" once you've seen that you're with a reader only.
