      Definitely MELODY PENA’S THE VELIGENT,awaiting RUE DAY LOTR/HOBBIT,SILMARILLION,LOST TALES,UNFINISHED TALES by JRRTolkien DRAGONRIDERS OF PERN by Anne Mccaffrey.I have,I think,all of her series and Todd’s,though not a big fan of his writing them. I agree about the artwork.I love the dust jackets. A SONG OF FIRE AND ICE,need it!Anybody have a copy to pass along?

      Oh man, I need to print this comment out and frame it!

        That is a beautiful plot. And who better to have a dragon guardian than the creator of Pern and its Dragons.

        I always loved that series.

        Looking for:
        "COSMIC SHIFT DRAGONS and KI-RINS" and the "OCTOPUS TANUKI TEST PAINT #1"

            Maybe one day a smart person in Hollywood will figure out a way to bring Pern to life for us on the big screen.

              “Faerie Tale” by Raymond E. Feist?  https://www.amazon.com/Faerie-Tale-Raymond-Feist/dp/0553277839

              That is a good (somewhat weird) book.

                Loved all of Anne McCafferey’s Dragonrider books.  Have all of them.  Would recommend “The Lord of the Rings” (of course), Robin McKinley’s “The Blue Sword”, “The Hero and the Crown”, and “Sunshine”; Guy Gavriel Kaye’s “The Summer Tree”, “Wandering Fire”, and “The Darkest Road”; “The Riddle-Master of Hed” trilogy by Patricia McKillip; “The Last Unicorn” by Peter Beagle; Mercedes Lackey’s “Valdemar” series; “Game of Thrones” is great, but George RR Martin is WAY behind in ending the books; Jim Butchers “Harry Dresden” series; and his “Codex Alera” series; Barbara Hambly’s “Dragonbane”, and “Darwath” series; really enjoyed Patrick Rothfuss’s “Name of the Wind” and the “Wise Man’s Fear”, but he seems to be having a hard time finishing this series too; and nobody better than C.J. Cherryh at science fiction.  Her “Fortress”, “Morgaine”, “Chanur” and “Foreigner” series are wonderful and highly recommended.

                Always looking for a lovely GB Young Unicorns, TP Male Dragons or TP Male Griffins!

                        I love Mercedes Lackey’s “Valdemar” series too. I re-read the entire series each year.

                          If you like those kinds of books – did you read the “Wicked Lovely” series by Melissa Marr?

                                  McCaffrey and Tolkien are definitely at the top of my list.  Most of my favorites are already on here.  I would add R. A. McAvoy (especially <i>Tea With the Black Dragon</i>), Larry Niven, Patricia Briggs, Orson Scott Card and if you like military sci-fi, David Weber and John Ringo.  I also like Lorna Freeman’s books, but it has been so long since the last one, I am not sure she will ever finish her series.  It needs at least 1 more book to tie up loose ends.  David Brin is good too.  I especially liked <i>The Postman.  </i>(If you saw the movie, don’t worry, it has little relation to the book.)
