Book Club Challenge Winners
This Challenge was particularly enjoyable for us as judges. It allowed us to sit around and discuss our own books that we cherish, the ones that changed us. Was it because they were perfectly written? Or because it was the book we needed at that point in our lives? And what does perfectly written even mean? For whom is it perfect? And, being big readers, as so many of our Creators are, we know that the more you read, the more deeply you are affected by all sorts of books, and suddenly you are thrown this way and that, moved like a leaf on a stream by all the incredible books you read, and it's hard to pick just one book.

Liminal: occupying a position at, or on both sides of, a boundary or threshold. OED
Bonbons in a glass jar tempt me; a jar of chopped-up rainbow. I swirl a yellow one around my mouth, expect the zing and tang of fresh lemon. I spit it into my hand when no one is looking and bury it in a potted ficus by the TV set. I hate bananas. My husband devours them instead of crisps and candy. I smell them on his clothes; just a hint, through wood spice aftershave and whiskey.

Like this format. Great to see all the wonderful writers being supported
Congratulations to all, and to all, congratulations!
Thanks so much for this! It’s been an amazing week seeing Vocal lit up with everyone sharing more about themselves through this challenge and how many people are taking part 😇🎉 These are a lot of fun to read and I for one certainly feel a close community has been fostered through them! Long let this continue! Especially in the face of the overwhelming AI and plagiarising accounts trying to infiltrate the genuine writer circles, I would say this is more important than ever. It’s also helped further confirm certain suspicious accounts in our circles that I must get around to confirming as fake 🙄
Thank you so much for this! Congratulations to everyone else listed here ❤️
