My first ever reading challenge

I really shouldn't be doing this, but it's dragons so I'm going to let myself be tempted.

I read (or at least skim) at lot of book blogs these days and I am in awe of all these people who join all these reading challenges. I love the idea, but I am careful to avoid them, as I struggle to keep up with the books I want to read/buy that are just of interest to me, without trying to add in challenges as well.

But over at Stray Talk, there's a challenge to read dragon books. I don't read as many dragon books as I used to do, but the temptation is too great not to try to join in. However, I am going to put a restraint on myself - the books still have to come from either my TBR list or want to reread list. Otherwise I'll put my stress levels back up and my whole goal for 2008 is to work with realistic expectations so as to stay as calm and unstressed as possible.

So here's a list of dragon books. The challenge is to read 3 - 5 of them between 1st Jan 2008 and 30th June 2008, which I think I should be able to manage.

1. Dragon Blood - Patricia Briggs (been on the TBR for ages)
   
2. Empire of Ivory - Naomi Novik (next Temeraire book, on the TBR)
   
3. Cast in Courtlight - Michelle Sagara (I'm assuming Tiamaris is in this one too, on the TBR)
   
4. Tea with the Black Dragon - R. A. MacAvoy (on the want to reread list)
   
5. Brother to Dragons, Companion to Owls - Jane Lindskold (on the want to reread list)
   
6. The Copper Crown - Patricia Kennealy-Morrison (so it's a dragon-styled spaceship but that's got to be close, on the want to reread list)
