SOS: Serious Overload of Series discussion

Reboot of Christina’s 2012 challenge
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...




According to the Chinese Zodiac, 2024 is the Year of the Dragon.

In 2024, Chinese New Year begins on February 10th and continues for 15 days, with the Lantern Festival marking the end of the celebrations. But, we’ll run the challenge for 12 months.

DURATION: 10 February 2024 - 9 February 2025

Total # of Books: Self-determined, plus Bonus

Super-easy and Flexible Guidelines:
1. Re-reads allowed as long as the books are re-read in their entirety
2. All formats (print, ebook, audiobook) are acceptable
3. All genres acceptable (YA, erotica, fantasy, PNR)
4. Individual short stories within anthologies are acceptable, as well as full anthologies that feature dragon-centric stories. Only rule: the dragon must play a major roll in the story (easier to do in shorter stories)

Now for the "challenging" part:
The dragon/dragon-shifter must be a major character in the book. In paranormal romance, that means either the hero or heroine (or both) must be the dragon-shifter. In urban fantasy, that could mean the main character's love interest or friend/companion is the shifter and has a large role in the plot. If it's a "real" dragon (as in Novik's Temeraire, for example), the dragon must have a major role.


BONUS: Books that have the word "dragon" in their titles or a dragon on the cover, even if there isn't a dragon in the book.


Special note about short stories and anthologies:
-- If you only read one story within the anthology, please use the example below:

"Dragon on Top" by G.A. Aiken (Dragon Kin #4.5), Supernatural

-- If you read more than one story/entire anthology of dragon stories, please list the anthology title first, then the individual stories (and if they are part of a series).

Oh, I love dragons!!!!
