NeriSiren’s Peppermint Mocha Book Tag

Cover of Calling on Dragons. A giant blue donkey with enormous white wings grins as he flies a sword-wielding hero with streaming dark hair and a flapping pink cape (I'm guessing that's Cimorene?) to the top window of a grey stone tower. Inside the window are two figures: a woman with long, dark red hair and a balding man with lighter red hair. Both are staring out at the donkey, whose back legs are straddling a manila banner that says "Patricia C. Wrede."

Would the OG Dragon Queen please stand up?

Cover of Beneath the Sugar Sky. A bright, blue sky covers the top left corner of the cover. Indigo clouds, with bright white lining, cover the top right. The bottom is occupied by magenta ocean waves crashing onto a magenta beach. In the middle of the sky is a semi-translucent door opening into nothingness.
