Welcome to Litsy!

I couldn't decide which dragon book to have as my #LetterD, so I found this omnibus edition on the net.

Looking through my books beginning with D, I seem to have an extraordinary number of books with Death, Dying, or Dead in the title 😁

🌸 I love books that let me escape into a totally different world like the tagged series.
🌺 All the Littens! Everyone is so incredibly nice.
🌷 Anatomy: A Love Story because everyone‘s been saying good things about it.

Some of her books were a little samey samey, but I really liked this series. #dragons #tropesinaugust

This was my first thought for the prompt #dragons for #tropesinaugust. I read the first book ages ago- decided then that the series wasn‘t for me. But it is very popular and many readers are devoted fans! 😀

The books that first got me hooked on reading . One of the few sets of books I‘ve read more than 3 times.

I‘ve been borrowing books from the library for so long that my bookshelves are now basically a time capsule of my teenage years. Cover art has come a long way since the 90‘s!

1. The Maldives
2. Pern
3. J. R. Ward
4. Hike the Appalachian Trail
5. Jamie Fraser

Finally got all my books outbof storage, and MAN do i have a lot of anne mccaffrey!

A few of my #violet books. I've only read 4 of these and that was so long ago that I should probably reread them! I think Saint Odd will end up being the one I get to first. #ReadingResolutions

Found this on Facebook and is it not the most beautiful thing ever!?!?!?

“Just wanted to share a grooms cake I finished today. The book is cake and my dragon is rich Krispy treats.”

A local bookstore clerk saw what I was reading, and suggested this series. About to dive in.

#playingfavorites, snagged from @Liberty
1. The Dragonriders of Pern
2. Here Be Dragons by Sharon Kay Penman
3. Red Rose, White Rose by Joanna Hickson
4. H is for Hawk. Helen Macdonald, which could also work for #2
5. Le Morte d'Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory
6. Troubled Bones by Jeri Westerson

#Pern has been my favorite off-world series since I first read Dragonflight 25 years ago, & was the first to come to mind for the prompt #GiveawayArtemis. (Can you tell I prefer the Anne-books to the Todd-books? 😉)

Thanks for doing these excellent giveaways, @Liberty - you are the soul of generosity to share your books with us!

The Dragonriders of Pern will always be one of my favorites! I started borrowing them from my grandma when I was around 12 years old. #giveawayartemis

@Liberty

Hi friends, I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in a #scifi / #fantasy book swap. 🤔 I've been thinking about hosting one, only rules being that the book (or books 😘) must be loosely #sciencefiction or fantasy. Any interest? #bookswap #dragons #bookmail

Okay, I just caught up on the webcomic Far to the North, and I realize I'm craving sappy, syrupy, romantic fantasy. (And I picked out Dragons of Pern to blurb for because I read those as a youngster.) Give me #recommendations!

This one came down to a tie between two very different worlds.

1. The DragonRiders Of Pern because who doesn't want to be a dragon Rider?
&
2. The Lord Of The Rings books so I could live in Rivendell or Lothlorien with the elves!

An amazing book that started off my love of fantasy. I wanted a dragon because of this book. Anne McCaffrey remains one of my favorite authors to this day.

#readathonblob @Liberty These are the physical books in my Dragonriders of Pern series & The tower & Hive series. The very first fantasy book I ever read was The Rowan and when I finished that series I found her world of Pern & never looked back. I have many scifi/fantasy loves-it is definitely my wheelhouse-but you never forget your first ☺

The gorgeous cover of my People of Pern book. I love that on the right you have Master Robinton serenading Lessa & F'lar while down at the other end you have the artist Robin Wood working on these wonderful Pern portraits with Anne looking on & enjoying a glass of wine (the beautiful lady standing & looking on is Anne's daughter, Georgeanne Kennedy).

You can find all different kinds of people in the world of Pern. Some like the #muscles of someone like Toric (top right); however, though he may have the body he fails to back it up-he's petulant, misogynistic, & pretty much an all-around jerk. I'll take someone who flexes his mind & character muscles, like Robinton (lower left) or F'lar (lower left). #aprilbookshowers

#springflingreading - #farawayplaces - Mars, Camazotz, and Pern.

This week has sucked. I think it's time to meet up with old friends.

#Herebedragons - two books, in fact, featuring dragons that are on my TBR and bookshelves, just waiting for me! #PhotoadayNov16 @RealLifeReading

Not the best picture, but #Pern is one of my favorite fictional places ever! #MapsInBooks

#FunFridayPhoto: I devoured Anne McCaffrey's Dragonrider books as a kid. They were definitely some of the first "adult" books I read, if not the first. She had strong women to look up to and DRAGONS. If it had even the hint of a dragon or dinosaur-like creature in it, I wanted to read it. These sent me down a long road of badass female fantasy enjoyment. ? #ReadWomen

"It was too bad you couldn't beat a weyrwoman with impunity. Her dragon wouldn't permit it but a sound thrashing was what Kylara needed badly."

A favorite of mine from middle school; I read it again a couple of years ago. Holds up in a fun way, for the most part.
