What did you think of Dragonheart? I loved the early Pern books but felt they lost their appeal in the later stories. I am intrigued as to how the new McCaffrey deals with it!

It was okay, but not as good as his mum's...or even as good as his previous books.

I liked the characters, and his writing is fine, I guess the plot line just felt a little like he was rehashing old ideas.

I've always been a bookworm, but since I discovered fanfic I have read less and less 'real' books...which, considering the number of books I used to read, has saved me a fortune lol.

This year I am going to try for a nice balance between real books and fanfic.

Oooh, Sharon Kay Penman is an excellent author.

That she is! I love her books (especially Here Be Dragons and sequels).

Go you! I'm still ploughing through the last in the Inheart trilogy, and I need more time!!!!

Oooh, I should probably do this. I have my own thing that I want to read at least 50 books this year. At the rate I'm going, it doesn't look likely =D You're way ahead of me. Mind if I borrow your idea??

I think the Penman is going to take me quite some time... between wedding preparations and a 17 year old who wants attention, I don't get a lot of reading time and it is rather large. LOL

LOL It's not my idea...I have stolen borrowed it off many others on my flist--so feel free!
