Bongbongie Reading Prompts:
Bongbongie – A character created by Mingyu, April 2017.
Prompts –
- Love & Letter – Read a book about love
- Member Pick – Read a book a member has recommended
- Seventeen Colors – Read a book with Pink or Blue on the cover. (Their colors are Rose Quartz and Serenity)
I chose three prompts to represent the three sub units in the group. Love & Letter is their first studio album, and their colors because I think it represents all of the members including Carats. Member pick is to try something new.
I hope you find your next five star read!
