As you may have guessed by now, fantasy is my favorite genre, and fantasy animals are the best animals (except Winnie, of course). In homage to one of my favorite mythical creatures, I read books with dragons on the cover or in the title. It was a fire-breathing good time.

• The Dragon Book edited by Jack Dann and Gardner Dozois (short story anthology)
• My Diary from the Edge of the World by Jodi Lynn Anderson (MG fantasy)
• Charmed Life by Diana Wynne Jones (MG fantasy)

Can you believe 2018 is over already? The good news is: I exceeded my goal of 50 books this year with a grand total of 53. The bad news is: my bookshelves are still overflowing with unread stories! I’ll be starting the new year off with planning my 2019 reading goals.

Happy New Year!
