Random Reading Recommendation
Because good books deserve to be shared.
The book on my mind this month:
Nice Dragons Finish Last by Rachel Aaron.
Kindle Unlimited books range across a large spectrum of genres — and quality. Whether or not you have KU, this series is a delight.
Different books have different draws. The marriage of post-apocalyptic fiction and dragons is fun, but this book is all about the main character. Try not to love Julius. Just try.
Julius is the smallest dragon in the Heartstriker clan and stays out of the way of bigger dragons. But this meekness doesn't fly in a family of ambitious magical predators. Now, sealed in his human form and banished, Julius has one month to prove he can be a ruthless dragon or kiss his true shape goodbye.
