"I've been fascinated by the idea of this book since I first heard about it. The illustrations look just beautiful! Of course, one can't talk about dragons without thinking of Anne McCaffrey. I tried to sketch one of hers once, a long time ago. These drawings are better! "
"I've read some great fiction involving dragons over the years and to pick any one between them, that's a downright headache! Still, I think I would go with the original Dragonlance trilogy by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. They are what really started me on to reading fantasy."
"Patricia Briggs Hurog Duology (Dragon Bones & Dragon Blood) Alot of the book the dragon is in human form if I remember correctly.
It must have been a struggle writing a memoir...knowing possibly how you wanted her to feel about him later...and writing how she felt at the time. I can see that being challenging. Pabkins @ My Shelf Confessions "
"Hi I am so excited about the Natural History of Dragons!! I would say that I started via one of my favourite authors, Andre Norton and found Dragon Magic. It has been great to pass this treasured series onto a new generation. My wordpress name is wychiewoman and email is wychwoodgrove@yahoo.ca "
"Thanks for the great post and congrats to Marie on the new release! The pics on this tour have been stunning :) I'd have to say the Dragonriders of Pern by Ann McCaffery will always be my fav."
"I have to pick only one? Since Smaug was already mentioned, I'll add the Earthsea trilogy by Ursula K. LeGuin, especially Kalessin from The Farthest Shore. There are several others mentioned in the series."
"I loved the Dragonriders of Pern by Anne McCaffrey when I was younger, and Michelle Sagara has a wonderful cast of Dragons in her Chronicles of Elantra series :)"
"Ha, I read it and thought it said songs! All I could think was, Puff the Magic Dragon! Dragon Actually is my favorite adult dragon book. Dealing with Dragons is my favorite as a child."

My favorite story involving a dragon. I will go with Barbara Hambly's Dragonsbane which explained just why a dragon wants gold in the first place..."
