Between the Year of the Dragon, the popularity of Fourth Wing, and the release of a new book in the legendary YA series The Inheritance Cycle, I've got dragon books on my mind. Try one of these titles to get into the spirit, with options for all ages!
Dragon fantasy romance doesn't always have to be serious and scary. You can tell from the title that That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon by Kimberly Lemming will be a fun ride, perfect for when you want your scaly dragon demon story to come with a good dose of banter, fluff, and spice. When spice farmer Cinnamon imbibes a little too much mead one night, she stumbles into an injured dragon demon named Fallon. Sparks fly as they embark on a quest to save their world from a monster Cin believed to be a goddess.
Also try Consort of Fire by Kit Rocha, To Shape a Dragon's Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose, and When Women Were Dragons by Kelly Barnhill.
Teen fiction has plenty of dragon tales to offer too; check out the brand-new So Let Them Burn by Kamilah Cole. 17-year-old Faron was chosen to lead the fight against the dragon-riding colonizers of her country, the Langlish, successfully driving them out. But when her sister becomes permanently bonded to an enemy dragon and Faron is told the dragons—and those connected to them—must be killed, Faron must decide where her loyalties lie.
Also check out Six Crimson Cranes by Elizabeth Lim, Seraphina by Rachel Hartman, and Fireborne by Rosaria Munda.
Let's not forget dragon books for kids and families! Perhaps the most popular is the Wings of Fire series, starting with The Dragonet Prophecy, but my personal favorite is The Tea Dragon Society by K. O'Neill, the coziest graphic novel I've ever read. It features a blacksmith apprentice Greta who finds a lost tea dragon in the marketplace and becomes immersed in the world of dragons. Great for readers of any age!
You may also enjoy Dragons in a Bag by Zetta Elliott, City of Thieves by Alex London, and Dragons Love Tacos by Adam Rubin.
