btw, thanks zerila for the tips on the dragon books 
I'm almost done with the 3rd Pern book and it's a great series so far. 

Yikes you have a mean school district 
Our school district has it worked out so that (I often think) they take too many days off. They arrange a bunch of teacher institute days (basically a clever name for vacation) so that they end up with a 5-day weekend about once a month and then the whole week of Thanksgiving off and almost 2 weeks solid at Christmas and then Spring Break. It's a wonder the kids learn anything with all the time off! 

Welcome to Lucky!~
I don't get online much but I love helping people when I can. If you have cooking questions I have a whole notebook of answers  It's been a long time since I leveled it, but I literally have a notebook of info tucked away in my desk and I'd be happy to share  I tracked everything up through level 68 where I stopped when I quit the game a while back. One of these days I'm going to get back around to leveling it some more 

Well I would say thats a pretty good list of Dragon books already
It should keep me busy for a few weeks.

Alright! Great thread I'm always looking for suggestions of books to read. I read too fast and it gets frustrating when the authors can't keep putting the books out fast enough to keep up with me lol.
Recent reads I enjoyed:
I've read alot of the DragonLance series and sad that I have exhausted the two story lines I'm on until the authors put out new books - Finished book 1 of the Lost Chronicles and book 2 of Dark Disciple series. I prefer paperbacks over hardcovers so I'm impatiently waiting for the second Lost Chronicles to go paper
I also read the Lincoln Rhymes series by Jeffery Deaver. I think I have read 9-10 books in that series. Loved every one of them Also waiting for the next paperback out by Deaver.
I got really bored for lack of reading material and I picked up my daughter's book one day  I have to admit it's got me hooked though it's geared for young readers LOL. It's called "The Fire Within" by Chris D'Lacey. It's about dragons, so it sucked me in haha.
Keep the suggestions coming. 

I'M BACK!!!!!!
Cilai has returned to Vana'diel once more after a short (19 months ) vacation in reality. I can already hear Lunet telling me "It's about time silly elvaan"   
I have missed all of my friends so much and I'm so glad Lucky is still here to come back to. I'm just back for social gaming, no HNM crap because I just don't have the time.  But if you see me online and need some help I'm always good to drag around and use for whatever one might need a 75RDM for nowadays   Happy to be back and looking forward to making new friends too
