Brsingr: Christopher Paolini

The third in The Inheritance Cycle, this really delivers. Paolini continues to grow as a writer and has not difficulty in taking his readers along for the ride. Aside from a nice tale filled with dragons and armies, elves and dwarves, this delivers some serious introspective philosophy on everything from politics to ethics. Nicely woven.

Must Love Dragons: Stephanie Rowe

This saucy little romp is the perfect beach book for dracophiles. Less corse and more fun than the Anita Blake stuff, it features a Satan that you practically root for, a dragon you would die for and a hero that every woman can relate to. I read this after David, and enjoyed being able to quote and quasi-quote from it ("thus again proving that *I* am Satan). Just overall fun.
