Silver Dragon
What kind of Dragon are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
You guys know how much I enjoy quizzes. Well today I found one that helps you determine what kind of dragon you are. How could I pass this up! Dragons are so cool! Let’s see. Among other things they are lizards with wings that breathe fire. Lizards are cool, winged critters are really cool, and fire-where can you go wrong with fire? Keeps you warm on a cold winter night or if someone gets in your face you pull out your own pocket dragon to breathe fire at the person and scare them off!
Many years ago at Balticon I adopted my very own Gold Fire Lizard. Golds are the queens! She’s sweet and been a good friend!
What’s a fire lizard? You poor person. You have not been introduced to Anne McCaffrey and her Dragonriders of Pern series. These are awesome books. I highly recommend you go out and get them now. She hasn’t put a new book out recently unfortunately, but that’s OK. They hold up to rereading as well. I read my first Pern novel in 7th Grade and was immediately hooked. There are big dragons but there are also these little mini-dragons called Fire Lizards! Both bond with you. Woohoo. I’ve always wanted to be a Dragonrider! By the way, read anything by Anne McCaffrey. My rule with her is that everything she writes is good. I have yet to read something from her I haven’t liked!
Speaking of Anne McCaffrey, I am currently reading a book in her Freedom series called “Freedom’s Ransom”. Basically aliens invade the Earth and this is our fight for freedom and following our fight for freedom. Excellent reads. I’m about halfway through Ransom and loving it. Next I think I am going to reread her Planet Pirates trilogy. Sir Megabyte is in the middle of them now and it will give us something to talk about. He’s BLOWN through the first two books.
While I’m talking about good authors, another of my all time favorite authors is Mercedes Lackey. I currently have a book I hadn’t seen before by her checked out from the library. It is called “The Serpent’s Shadow” and looks v. good. I’ll keep you guys posted. But she’s also in on that above rule. “Anything by Mercedes Lackey is good!” She is best known for her Valdemar series which I have read all of and own most of.
One final note is that my book club book for this month is “The Blind Assassin” by Margaret Atwood. I’ll definately post about it once I’ve read it. I need to get to reading it as my book club meets in two weeks! EEEK! Oh well, must finish the awesome Anne McCaffrey book first! *grins*

Hey Oz!
You know, I’ve always loved dragons, but I’ve just never read enough of them. And I have eyed those McCaffey novels, now that you rave about them, I will be sure to read them. I need something soon, as I will be finishing, Treasure Box by Orson Scott Card.
I’ve read Atwood’s, The Blind Assassin. A grrreat Canadian author. 🙂

Oh I can’t say enough good things about the Dragonrider books! They rock. Read them all. They are so wonderful! Just great! Awesome! Get the picture? Not to be pushy but you should run right out and get them! There’s a few so you might want to library it… hehe I read them in the order they were written as opposed to in chronologically. If you like dragons… you will love this! It will be a dream come true!
I can’t believe you like dragons too! You really ROCK girl! Geeze you sound like you could be my twin sometimes. We better never meet… we could get into some serious mischief! *innocently looks around*
I love Orson Scott Card. Glad to hear you like him too!
Oh so you’ve read Blind Assassin? Is it a good fast read? I only have a little under two weeks to read it! EEEEK

I know, it would be like when Captain Kirk had to avoid himself or something like that. lol
I would never lie to you and say that the Blind Assassin was an easy read, I found it long at times, tedious at times, depressing at times, but by the end I was thoroughly enjoying it. I finally was won over by the brilliant woven story. Maybe you can breeze thru it, but I just couldn’t. In fact it took me two tries to get into it. 🙂
Okay, I will look or the dragon books.
Hey, you totally rock yourself girl!!!!

Atwood isn’t for everyone, especially BA. I mean it isn’t really my kind of book either. I’ve enjoyed some of her other books more.
Did you read or see the movie, Handmaid’s Tale? I liked the movie, but I haven’t read the book by her.

or I get grumpy! SPIKE NOW! Ahhh Spike. He’s such a wonderful bad boy turned half good… he still has some of that bad boy in him… Makes him rather charming!
Hey Joss… give Spike more time. After all, that’s why we watch the show. We don’t give a hoot about Buffy, she’s just a means to an end. We watch to see Geeky Witchy Willow in power and to drool over Spike. 😉
