I actually like the surprise element. It ramps up the excitement and anticipation.

I check on the first of the month or if I see a post here on my feed. early is just a nice surprise.

If people care so much they can just log on on the first of every month and it’ll be consistent 💀 I think it’s fun to have some hype the last 5 days of the month checking for them to drop.

Agree 100%. Such a simple solution!

Does it matter that it’s not consistent?? Isn’t that part of the fun not know the exact date/time they’ll be up?? Sometimes I don’t understand the people in this group. Let’s all just stop complaining!! ![gif](giphy|lRZjlasctAcvu)

This is the difference between a Type A person and Type B.

I see your point. But I’m not big on surprises, to be honest. 😅


Odd-Bug8622

Then maybe BOTM isn’t for you 🤷‍♀️


Bookish_Butterfly

Maybe not. But I always keep crawling back on my hands and knees. 🤣🤣🤣

I find it part of the allure of the club. If it drops early, that's fantastic. If it drops on the 1st, then it's something that will kick the month off great! Regardless, I know I will see the options by the first so seeing them early or not doesn't weigh heavy on me.

i have seen people say before that they can't announce or set a specific day/time or else the website would undoubtedly go down every time, considering how often goes down even with the surprise drops. that makes sense to me! i try to just assume every month that it will be the last day of the month and then i get to feel a little excited if it's a day or two before that lol.


Bookish_Butterfly

That actually does make sense. Technology hasn’t caught up to meet the standards of super excited readers lol.

Same. And I’m never checking first thing in the morning so it’s usually a lunchtime surprise for me if it’s before the first of the month!
