Join us as we read authors many of us have loved throughout the years. This month we will be reading Anne McCaffrey's Dragonflight
It doesn’t always have to be a new book we read! This year let’s celebrate authors who have created magical works as we dive into the world of fantasy science fiction. Come ready to discuss the first Dragonriders of Pern novel.
Dragonflight by Anne McCaffrey
"On a beautiful world called Pern, an ancient way of life is about to come under attack from a myth that is all too real. Lessa is an outcast survivor--her parents murdered, her birthright stolen--a strong young woman who has never stopped dreaming of revenge. But when an ancient threat to Pern reemerges, Lessa will rise--upon the back of a great dragon with whom she shares a telepathic bond more intimate than any human connection. Together, dragon and rider will fly . . . and Pern will be changed forever."
