Here's one of the books from my latest Thriftbooks haul. I'm obsessed with that site. I love shopping for books there, especially since I used to be a big used bookstore shopper and we don't have any of those left in my area. I don’t know if I told you all that I started collecting old fairy tales, folklore and world mythology books. I have a little bookstagram account on instagram where I have pictures up of what I have so far. Since I’m trying to streamline my social media a bit, I may start posting those here. Anyway, I saw this neat book on dragons and bought it to use for research. It has some really neat info on dragon myths worldwide so I’m excited to get into it. What are your favorite mythical creatures to read about and why? #dragons #dragonlore #amwritingfantasy #amwritingfantasyromance #amresearching #bookstagram #fantasybookstagram #dragonmythology #folklore #mythologyfiction #fantasyromanceauthor
