Welcome to the "Sundae Book Feast" challenge, where your reading adventures will be transformed into a scrumptious literary sundae like no other!
🌟 How It Works:-
-&;🍧 Choose Your Sundae Size: Decide how many scoops you'd like in your reading sundae—will it be a single, double, or triple scoop challenge?
-&;🍨 Select Your Ice Cream Flavors: Pick from a varied list of ice cream flavors, each representing a unique set of prompts.
-&;🍬 Add Toppings to Your Sundae: Enhance your reading experience with a variety of toppings.
-&;📝 Share Your Sundae Toppings Reviews: After completing each book, you can share "Sundae Toppings Reviews" on your ŷ, blog, social media, or in our group. The review should include a brief summary of the book, the category(such as single scoop Vanilla Sundae) it belongs to, and a fun twist—rate how well the book delivered on its corresponding "topping." For example, if your Vanilla Sundae is topped with sprinkles, you can judge it on the basis of the prompt used, like "Was this fiction fun and lighthearted? OR “How creamy and rich was the writing style of this fantasy novel?"
This is just for a fun reading & reviewing experience. We’ll have a specific thread during the challenge where everyone can share these reviews. You can grab some exciting awards for the same.
-&;🍦🤝Collaborative Ice-Cream Making: Read together, make together! Buddy read with fellow participants to collaborate and make ice-creams. How to? Two participants can select a flavor, a topping and read for them individually, creating an ice cream. Score higher by choosing more than 1 flavor/topping for the ultimate sundae!
