Super Book Saturday!
Ooooh! It’s Super Book Saturday again! This time I’m going to cheat a little and choose the first three books from the series I have loved since I was thirteen, DRAGONFLIGHT, DRAGONQUEST, and THE WHITE DRAGON by the irreplaceable Anne McCaffrey. (This is a copy of the edition of DRAGONFLIGHT I read when I was thirteen.) Not only is Pern a richly drawn, intricate world peopled with fascinating characters – IT HAS DRAGONS! I spent a lot of my teenage years dreaming that a golden queen would Imprint with me and I would fly to fight Tread a’dragonback!
Sadly, I didn’t have the opportunity to meet Ms. McCaffrey in person. We lost her in November of 2011. She and I corresponded briefly after I’d written my first novel. She was gracious and kind, and I will be eternally grateful that because of her books I realized women could write and star in the science fiction/fantasy genre. Anne McCaffrey changed my life.
If you haven’t read her books, you are in for a treat! I envy your discovery (actually, I think it’s about time I reread all of them!).
What is your favorite Super Books series? What series changed your life?
