If you haven’t read any of Anne McCaffrey’s Pern series, you really need to start at the beginning. But don’t worry, you don’t have to read all 20-something titles before you get to this one! Just six: Dragonflight, Dragonquest, Dragonsong, Dragonsinger, The White Dragon, and Dragondrums. (Links at the end of the post.) There’s a bit of plot overlap between Gigi McCaffrey’s new one and the last couple, but if you’ve read the others, that’s part of the charm.
For those of you who have loved this series since it first came out (I’m not old enough to make that claim, but I’ve loved it since I first discovered it), you’ll feel the same way about this one that I do.

We’ve been celebrating 50 Years of Pern all month, getting ready for the release of Gigi McCaffrey’s Dragon’s Code, and October 2nd is just one week away! We’re almost done reading it, and the love and nostalgia brought on by this book have been downright magical. Erin’s been acting like a kid again. (She probably shouldn’t be jumping on the furniture so much, but what can you do?)
But wait! That’s not all!!! (Ha! We’ve always wanted to say that.)
Welcome to the first giveaway in our 50 Years of Pern celebration! We’re giving away a $5 Amazon gift card today to one lucky winner, to be chosen at 11:59 pm EST tonight (Friday, September 14). And there are three ways to enter!
Option number one: Find the two dragon codes we’ve hidden in recent posts and email them to us at bookwyrms [at] dragonauthors [dot] com. (If you use this method, we won’t add you to any lists. Hey, maybe you prefer RSS readers. We won’t judge.)
Option number two: Sign up for our newsletter and choose “The daily bookaholic.” (You can choose the other options too, if you like.) Every new subscriber to our daily blog today will automatically be entered to win!

Remember that author—Anne McCaffrey? The one who made me (Erin) decide to become an author? The one I couldn’t talk to without sobbing?
(You might know her better as the Anne McCaffrey who’s in the Science Fiction Hall of Fame—the SFFWA Grand Master, winner of both the Hugo and Nebula Awards, winner of the Robert A. Heinlein award for lifetime achievement as a fantasy and science fiction author… Right, that Anne McCaffrey. But I’m sure the bit about what she means to me personally is on a card in the SF Hall of Fame somewhere.)
Okay, so her daughter, Gigi McCaffrey, is releasing a new Pern book in October—Dragon’s Code—and I’m so excited I can’t stand it. (Imagine a thirty-minute pause here while I tried and failed to find a gif showing how profoundly excited I am. I’m not a gif connoisseur, apparently. I did, however, spell ‘connoisseur’ correctly on the first go, which surprised me and made me feel a little better about the whole gif thing.)
