We have a bunch of new members this month, so please give them a warm welcome!

Additionally, we're looking for new staff members! If you're interested in helping out with the book club, please leave an inline comment or send us a private message.

Please note the following changes to the rules:
- Deadline time zone has been switched from CET to EST.
- To meet the minimum assignment requirements, the 4 required comments in each chapter must be "quality comments." See the FAQ chapter for more information.
- Partner chapters can be either 4 constructive inline comments + 1 constructive outline comment OR 10 quality inline comments. (Previously, only the former was allowed.)
- Club BotM will only require 4 comments per chapter. (Previously, it required 6 comments per chapter.)
- The Discord BotM will award 3 points per chapter, with 4 quality comments per chapter. (Previously, only 5 points were award regardless of number of chapters read.)

If you have any questions about these changes, feel free to leave an inline comment here, or send us a private message.

ASSIGNMENT

An assignment runs for the entirety of a month (from the 1st to the last day of the month); there will be two assignment chapters per month (e.g. 1.0 and 1.5) to update points and add new members.

You must read at least 4 narrative chapters each month with at least 4 quality comments per chapter. You can choose which book you want to read. Some books may offer bonus points; see "Points" below to find out more! At the end of the month, the member with the most points will be featured on the Reader of the Month Leaderboard.

Reports must be submitted in the inline comments within 7 days of reading. This will make it easier for our admins to check. You'll have to submit your assignment before 11:59 pm EST.

Please make sure to tag the people whose books you've read, specify what type of book(s) you've read (Normal, Admin, Partner, BotM), and make sure to get your reports in on time. Reports done after the deadline will not count, unless there is a legitimate reason. To avoid this, tell us you can't do your assignment ahead of time via a comment here or DMs.

Let us know if you have any questions or see something we missed!

POINTS

You earn points when you read, and reading certain books will give you an added bonus! The member with the most points will get an honorable mention on the Reader of the Month Leaderboard. (Please only read books from club members who are active and not on hiatus.)
