February 2023 Group Challenge

For this month, let's use the random letter generator.

https://randomwordgenerator.com/letter.php

Use your letter however you like - first letter in the title; first letter in author's first or surname; the letter anywhere in the title or author's name.

Play the game your way!

The last time we did this I got the letter Z, and this time Q!

To my surprise, I have plenty to choose from that are already on my TBR list.

I got a "W" and I am going to use it for the author's first name so I will be reading Vathek by William Backford.

I got an “I” - we’ll see.

>2 BentleyMay: How is that possible?! Lucky that you have some choices available.

I got B, so will try to fit in A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry.

>5 JayneCM: Next time I'm sure I will get X !!

I have finished my read of Vathek by William Beckford. Rather over-the-top and strongly influenced by The Arabian Nights, it read much like a fairy tale. It is a tragic parable dealing with man's excesses, both sensory and sexual. I didn't love it, but thankfully it was short.
