Fire Trail



You ask to see the book list, and the red dragon, Untried Ruby, directs you into a small room off of the main one. It's quite dark, but the list in question is illuminated by orbs of glowing light. Reflecting the light are three gems... a diamond, a sapphire, and an amethyst.






In the room, there is also a dragon.

"Hello," he speaks. "I am Galen, and I'm in charge of keeping the booklist up-to-date with everything Saturn has been reading. It's quite a job, as she has a tendency to inhale books." The earth-dragon pauses, looking at you with his head cocked to the side. "You're welcome to stay as long as you like. Make yourself comfortable..."



Sorted into various groups...


Please note: This list spans many, many years. Many books may be missing. This list is under construction, and new books will constantly be added. This is never going to be a complete list of every book I've read, just a list of a bunch of the significant ones I've read semi-recently. Or not even all that recently, but books I remember reading. I did not necessarily enjoy reading all of these... but most of them I liked.

Galen and the gems
from
The Nameless Forest


There is a small baby picture of Galen. He sighs with exasperation as you make the appropriate "awwwww"s...

Galen as a young one...
