What? Read 3-5 books featuring dragons.

I’ve got a question: do re-reads count? I’m thinking of adding The Hobbit to my list but it will be a re-read. :)

Sure, why not? =)

Tada” I do love me some dragons. And jesus, it’s years since I read The Hobbit last.

Scott: I hadn’t heard of those books before, but of course they are perfect for the challenge. Anything with dragons in it is, basically!
The ones I listed are just suggestions, and I’m always grateful for more. =)

Ooooo, I am so happy to know about some of these. I think it’s time I read Caroline Stervermer’s Serpent’s Egg, and reread T. A. McAvoy’s Tea with the Black Dragon. And can I crassly promote my own books? Hatching Magic and The Dragon of Never-Was? ; )
12 Feb 2008 at 01:29
Oh, and also, Elizabeth Willey’s book, The Well-Featured Gentleman.
