I wouldn't lock eyes with one.

Maybe these books would not get written if there were no police brutality. I thought cops had to be smarter than that. Guess I was wrong.

Because it's a universal truth that unless you state that cops are 100% good and never ever ever do anything wrong ever, you're full of hate and trying to turn people against them. Got it.

I still have that in the boxes-somewhere. Probably next to the box marked SMUT!

Oh! No offense taken! Also the cover and the back cover copy was pretty misleading IIRC correctly. I don’t know why I decided to skim.

I had the sister crushes too. Hence the career choice.

Bravo to the school teacher who chose the books & the principle who okayed it. I bet the both of them are still giggling about it. Hahaha !!!! GOTCHA, ASSHOLES !!!! Right by the prejudice.

The first paragraph of description on the wiki page sounds brutal. We’ve got three copies and I’m getting on the list. I wouldn’t have started here, but you have an excellent thinker.

I’m drowning in excellent recommendations. My library has her entire collection, she looks like someone I will hold close to my heart. Dragons, alt history, Arthurian retellings.

I do love his Dorsai books, I don’t know how I missed the dragons. I’ll have to dig these up at a used bookstore, he seems to have fallen out of favor.

Oh a librarian! I have such a sister crush on librarians. I never once a librarian try to talk me out of a book that looked too big for my age. I’m sorry I’m blamed the library. ;)

Hell, I'm an old white guy and the way things are these days, the cops scare me.

If you like old-school swords and sorcery with your dragons, try the Dragon Knight series by Gordon Dickson.
