“Always she, always she. I never heard the voice asking why he pulled over, why he believed I’d get in, what he might do if I did. How much was I expected to take, to absorb and ignore, while they yelled and clicked their tongues so freely, with no fear of being confronted.”

Hello All, If any of you are familiar with me, then you know that I was a mite disappointed with The Empyrean series. I don't really feel like getting into it, but it left a bad taste of all things dragon related. Now I have grown and changed my tune, and I realized the best way to get over a bad book with dragons is to read an even better book with dragons. So I'm calling all dragon lovers to share with me your favorite book recommendations regarding dragons. Doesn't have to be dragon riders. Dragons can be good, bad, neutral, wise, mystical, extinct, legendary, or just kinda of a pest. Please share with me anything you've got. Thanks!

It is a personal feeling for me, but reading challenges actually kill the fun of being a reader and cause reading to become a competition. I tried reading Horror throughout October as a reading challenge I set up for myself and being restricted to that almost ruined reading for me. In the third week I had given up and was happy to do so.

I don't understand turning reading into a "Quest", it might help some people who are genre readers to collect their thoughts and go back to their stacked books and I see that being a great thing but again, isn't the best way to read just picking up whatever is closest to you? And I do not mean reading challenges over Pagebound itself, it's something in general.

I just wanted to get everyone's opinions on how they feel about it. Beyond organizing your reading list, what else does a reading challenge do to you all? Would reading challenges fundamentally restrict genre explorations? Hope this post isn't offensive to anyone, I do not mean it in that way at all but just inviting points for discussion.
