    I love her books too. Pern and the Rowan series are my favorites.

    I haven't read her Rowan Series yet but I have read her Acorna The Unicorn Girl Series as well. Would you suggest the Rowan Series? What is it about?

    I would highly recommend it if you are into psionics (super psychic powers). That's all I'll say about it. Don't want to spoil it for you. I'll have to pick up the Acorna series.

    I will defiantely check it out. Another good Series of hers that I enjoyed is the Doona Series. Those were really good books that I could read over and over agian.

    I've seen them in the book stores, but haven't read them. I used to be able to read a book a day, but now, for some reason I can barely read. I have 5 books going, and it's all I can do to get through a chapter...

    I'll have to check those out too....

    I am a bookaholic. lol Hubby says it is pointless to buy me any books as presents because they only last a day or two before I am through them. Reading is one of my passions.

    Yep, I'm a fan, too.

    I like the Pern books, my favorites are the Harperhall trilogy and Master Robinton's 'bio'. I love the Rowan series and Pegasus (but can't recall at this moment whether Pegasus is a precursor to the Rowan series or not. I think so...)

    Liked the Crystal Singer series, and loved the first book in the Doona books. I really like the 'Ship Who Sang' series. Not as fond of the books being co-written with other fantasy/sci fi authors.
    I'm sometimes asked "Why do you spend so much of your time and money talking about kindness to animals when there is so much cruelty to men?" I answer: "I am working at the roots." -George T. Angell, reformer (1823-1909)

    *hand up* Me! I've only read the Pern though, and not all of them. I rely on my local library for most fiction books else I'd spend a fortune.

    Me! Me! I do! I have wanted myself a dragon since first reading them years and years ago. Wanted a dragon - or we'd joke that Ma thought her car was a dragon - because that way she might get somewhere on time!

    I've enjoyed some of her Pern books and a few of the co-authors. Generally I prefer the hard science fiction, but McCaffrey is an excellent writer and her books are always enjoyable.

    I love the Pern series and in particular one of the tricks the dragons can do (don't want to spoil!)

    If you go in the order by when they first landed then you will want to read DragonsDawn. If you want to read it from the first book she wrote in the Series you will want to read DragonFlight.

    Here is a page that lists each book in the Pern Series(the others can be checked out as well from the side menu) in order of when they were writen. They give an exerpt of what the book is about also:

    Hope this helps.
