Good morning Littens! I wish you a wonderful Holiday!

Second part of my book gifts. 😁 A very good mix of fiction and non-fiction.

I love the festa publisher which publish almost horror stories. I'm very excited to read this story about dragons.

The book about design is soo pretty. With a coloured pattern. 😍

Happy Holidays to you!

Here, there be Dragons.

This certainly won't win any literary awards but it was a ton of fun. Took a pretty corny twist close to the end but that didn't lessen the excitement. 🐉

I knew from the description and reviews that this book was like Jurassic Park but with Dragons. I laughed pretty hard at the confirmation by page 56.

These are the top of the TBR pile but it will also depend on what holds come in from the library.

This was a really fun, edge of your seat sort of read. Similar to Jurassic Park, but with dragons and not quite so intelligently written. Would make a great big budget summer movie.

LittleMummyMe Sounds interesting. ❤ 6y

So I wanna know what y‘all think of this book!!!! It‘s a thriller about a special species of animal the Chinese government has been keeping secret for over 40 years. The great zoo is created so that these special animals can finally be out of display. A group of people come to check out the animals and are told they will be amazed and will be safe and nothing will go wrong. YEAAAAA RIGHT!!!! I‘m personally looking forward to this one!

TheWordJar I read this one a few years ago and was pleasantly surprised! Definitely a Jurassic Park feel, but I loved the MC. I remember it being a quick, entertaining read. 7y

Excellent choice for dragons being plausible in today's society. But if Jurassic Park; theme park gone wrong, animals ruin amuck.

Thoughts anyone?

TheWordJar I vote yes! If you like Jurassic Park, you'll like this--it IS Jurassic Park. Man creates something that shouldn't have been created. Creation runs amok. Ordinary people fight back. It's a fast-paced read, and I loved the female protagonist. 8y
ScriboGero Fast paced is promising. I need something to just read and enjoy right now. 8y

#TBT Last year this time, I was elder sitting, melting in the heat, & looking for a fun diversion where I didn't have to think too hard or too long about plot. Did you enjoy Jurassic Park (movie or book) & do you like dragons? Then give this book a try. Quick fun read, even if the story & plot are predictable after seeing anything in the Jurassic franchise. Dragons thrown suddenly into the mix with humans, what could possibly go wrong? 😱

ReadingOver50 I read this book and I loved it! But I have always wanted my own dragon. 😄🐉 8y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @ReadingOver50 What self respecting girl hasn't! LOL. I loved them as I kid, if Game of Thrones had been around then I'd have been idolizing the dragons! 8y

Just watched Jurassic World and was reminded of The Great Zoo of China. Instead of dinosaurs, you get dragons. And unlike Jurassic World, it all goes smoothly. Just kidding. Total mayhem! But an excellent female MC turns MacGyver and saves the day.
