Hey Hivers!
Do you like reading books? Do you like reviewing books? Or want to start reading a book?
If so, this contest is for you. To welcome 2021, Hive Book Club is organizing a book review contest. We hope to encourage people to read more books through this contest and find interesting books to read. We believe that a captivating book review is a door to discovering a whole new world. As said by Stephen King, "Books are a uniquely portable magic."
You have about three weeks to participate in this contest. There's plenty of time to choose a book and write a review about it. We also hope that this contest will revive some forgotten classic and undiscovered works from relatively new authors. For more information about the contest rule, you can read further below.
How to Participate
- Write or record your book review.
- Include the tag #hbcjanuaryreview in the first of the four tags.
- The post has to be posted in the Hive Book Club Community. https://peakd.com/trending/hive-180164
Contest Rules
- Any genre is welcome.
- Billingual post is welcome.
- Minimum 500 words.
- Video entry is welcome, and you can post it via 3speak.
- Must examine and express an opinion about the intrinsic and extrinsic values of the book. Would you recommend the book? Why?
- Avoid spoilers.
- Correct grammar and spelling count.
- Judging is based on voice, creativity, and content of the review.
- Comment your entry in the competition's opening.
- You have until 25th January to submit your entry.
- Plagiarism will be penalized and will automatically result in disqualification.
Prizes
1st place: 30 Hive
2nd place: 20 Hive
3rd place: 15 Hive
Pretty simple right? Don't hesitate to join this contest and share this information with a fellow bookworm!
@enforcer48 your light novel reading will be put into use.
Hmmm tempting, but feels too much like grade school where I had to write book reviews for the stuff I read.
I'll think about it.
Hope you'll eventually join this one 😃
This is exciting. I hope there are lots of entries, because I love hearing about new books. I'm bad at writing reviews. It does feel like I am being required to write a book report. I will see what I can come up with though, as I would love to see this community be successful!
Don't overthink the rules hehe I look forward to your entry :)
Three weeks... seems like an assignment, hehehe!
I will see what I can do!
It is an assignment :p three weeks is enough to read a minimum of 3 books. I suppose a light read would not be a problem.
I found an easy read book! I hope I shall finish it on time!!!
🥰🌺🤙 !ENGAGE
Yay! good luck 😊

tokens.Thanks for sharing
As far as I can see, I started the year in good spirits. I like this spirit, I join it.

I thought book reviews are subtle form of spoilers, haha.
I will have to conjure up something from my last year read list. Great contest
a very subtle spoiler is accepted :D
Great.

Ahh, I didn't see this contest. I had decided to do a book review as a way to get writing and had just got back on Hive. Barely make the word count and didn't really do a recommendation one way or the other, but oh well.
