Hey bookworm friends. I’m back again with another fun #BBNYA2025 semi-finalist to highlight! This one is perfect for lovers of dragons and lady knights. Lady of Dragons (Part One) was written by Shelby Elizabeth and I was lucky enough to read an excerpt of it. I was lured in by the plot of a young woman desperately wanting to become a dragon knight. I’m sure many dragon lovers would jump at the chance! The world-building elements are compelling and there’s a dash of romance waiting in the wings (pun very much intended 😝)!

If you could work as a dragon sanctuary keeper or dragon knight, which would you choose?
Great job! I have totally dropped the ball and have only done a couple of these.
Thank you 🥰 They are time consuming so I don’t blame you but at the same time I don’t have to think of content ideas and I’ve been kind of a energy slump so that’s kind of a win, not gonna lie. 😝
Sounds like a good read and the cover is very sweet.
Lynn 😀
It definitely has a fun start based on the excerpt I read 🙂 & I love the cover too! Thanks 🥰
