RWL Reading Challenge – Week 5: With a dragon
When Women Were Dragons
by Kelly Barnhill
Posting on Monday, January 29th
Lunar New Year is next week bringing us into 2024 and the year of the dragon! To get ready for the celebrations, our prompt this week is to find a book with a dragon. I’d heard about this book a lot in 2023 but wasn’t sure what to expect when I got started. It’s not my typical read, but I enjoyed it!
Here’s some other great books that would work for this prompt in popular genres:
- Best Seller: the A Game of Thrones series, George R. R. Martin
- General Fiction: The Hobbit, J.R.R. Tolkien
- Romance: Lunar Love, Lauren Kung Jessen
- Mystery/Thriller: Dragon Day, Lisa Brackmann
- Nonfiction: Holidays Around the World: Celebrate Chinese New Year: With Fireworks, Dragons, and Lanterns, Carolyn Otto
- Kids: The Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling

The Great Divide
