The Harper Hall trilogy! I loved those. (I still think Menolly should have been Masterharper though *huffhuff*) My mom and grandmother indoctrinated me young, but there's worse books to grow up with. I tried reading the new ones, but it's really just not the same. My mom likes them though, so I suspect it could be nostalgia coloring my opinion. :\

I love the old covers, where the dragons have the right sort of eyes and aren't too "frilly". They seem to be going back to that now, but not very well. Moreta (http://www.draconic.com/images/whelan/moreta.jpg) is probably my favorite cover, even though I'll never read it again. (Way to scar a kid, Anne!)
