I'm not saying Tas would ever steal anything... but has anyone checked his pouches for the missing Louvre jewelry?

The art by Larry Elmore shows a male with pointed ears and his hair up in a ponytail. He is wearing a fur vest and is holding a stick with a sling on top. The character is in front of a fantasy map.

I've got reviews for both Dragons of Summer Flame and Dragons of Krynn coming up. Tomorrow, I'm reviewing The Art of Dragon Magazine. It has a Dragonlance piece by Larry Elmore that I hadn't seen before! It's included in the post, but I'll share here too in case you're interested.
Pretty cool!
The art by Larry Elmore is a black and white piece. It shows a male warrior, a male wizard, and a female warrior, all looking overwhelmed. They are surrounded by several shorter, mischievous-looking figures (kender).

The amazing Indie August sale might be over, but there's never a bad time to read off the beaten path.
Name an indie book you love that others should read. Tag a friend.

I recently read and loved the fantasy War Heart by @ashcapes.bsky.social.

The cover for War Heart by Ashley Capes shows a male teen standing in a dilapidated temple room holding a lantern. In front of him, a female in a feathered gown stands on a pedestal.

I did something I rarely do (because my sense of humor is really only funny to me) and made a meme.

Joking aside, do you have a favorite Dragonlance quote?

#Dragonlance #BookQuotes #Bookblogger #Booksky
The meme shows a picture of a dwarf. Next to him is the quote: "It's better to go looking for the dragon than have the dragon go looking for you." Below the dwarf is a picture of a knight and the quote: "Est Sularus oth Mithas". My honor is my life. Below that is a picture of a kender and the quote: "New roads demand a hoopak. No road is ever old. "Below that is a picture of a half-elf and the quote: "Only the dead are without fear. " Below that is a picture of a human warrior and the quote: "You gonna eat that?:

Don't get me wrong, I love a good hardcover book. The problem with a hardcover book, though, is the dent it leaves in my forehead when I fall asleep reading and drop it.

What are you reading?

My youngest is finally old enough to watch The Labyrinth, so we had a family movie day.
It was a ton of fun, but it reminded me of the time I ordered a stuffed Worm as a surprise for my husband, but I was sent the stuff of nightmares instead.
See below: What I wanted vs. What I got.

Did you know?
Some of the characters in Dragonlance are exceedingly well-traveled.
Aside from appearing in multiple Dragonlance books, Lord Soth shows up in Ravenloft as well. You can find him the Terror of Lord Soth duology.

#Dragonlance news: The Dragonlance Legends Omnibus will be released in February 2026. That's a bit of a wait, but the Chronicles Omnibus is still readily available, and so is the Dragonlance Destinies trilogy.
Now would be a great time to dive in! I'll add my suggested reading order to the comments.
Photo shows four books: Dragons of Deceit, Dragons of Eternity, and Dragons of Fate. The Dragonlance Chronicles omnibus is on top of the other books.

Looking at art by those different artists, I can see what Larry Elmore meant. It's very cool!

I'll share some examples below as I'm able. Grab Art of the Dragon if you get the chance!

In this book, Larry spoke about working for TSR with other fantasy art greats such as Clyde Caldwell, Keith Parkinson, and Jeff Easley.

He said, "We all just did our thing. No one tried to make us paint like anyone else, and we never tried to force each other to paint like anybody else."

Photo of quote by Larry Elmore regarding working with TSR artists: "We all just did our thing. No one tried to make us paint like anyone else, and we never tried to force each other to paint like anybody else. I painted my dragons one way, and Keith [Parkinson] painted his pretty similar to me and Clyde Caldwell did his more serpentine and Jeff Easley did his more as a pit bull. So we had three or four different ways that we did them."
