This month, I want to read your best reviews on the theme “vacation.” The theme can be interpreted as literally or as broadly as you want. Here are some prompts to get you going:
If you were headed to the beach, what book would you take with you?Review a country that you’ve traveled to before. Would you go there again? What were the highlights/attractions? What were the drawbacks?Describe your dream vacation destination and explain why it would be the perfect getaway.Review a book or film where characters go on vacation or travel to an exotic locale. How did the setting factor into the plot, characters, and ambiance?Write a review of a travel guidebook or app you’ve used to navigate a vacation destination. Evaluate the accuracy of information, helpfulness of recommendations, and your user experience.Remember, these prompts are designed to inspire your creativity and encourage you to write engaging reviews. Feel free to personalize them or adjust them according to your preferences, or submit something totally unexpected: other entries related to the monthly theme are very much welcome and encouraged!
Good luck to everyone who participates!
I will be announcing the winner of July’s monthly theme prize soon.
