#Booked2023 Prompt Details and Sign-Up Form
Welcome to #Booked2023! We are excited to introduce you to our SIXTH year of prompts and we hope you love them as much as we do. Watch for the plays on the number three this year!

Our quarterly drawings will operate in 2023 the same way they have for the last two years. Each season you'll submit a Google form and that notifies us about the prompts you've completed. Each prompt completed is an entry in that season's drawing.

We let you interpret how the prompt fits your book choice, as long as it's in the realm of possibility. Our one rule is one book = one prompt choice. We don't allow combining multiple prompts for a book.

If you miss submitting a completed prompt for any of the seasons, just include it in the next season. Please don't submit any prompts twice, of course. This is an honor system as we have lots of entries each season!

Please feel free to post your completed prompts and quarterly wrap-up on Litsy, and tag #Booked2023, along with the three hosts, @cinfhen, @alisiakae (formerly @4thhouseontheleft), and @barbarathebibliophage. We hosts and your fellow participants love to celebrate with you! But remember, if you only post on Litsy, we won't count your completed books towards the drawings.
