Last year I read When Women Were Dragons by Kelly Barnhill, and I have not been able to stop thinking about it since. It’s a historical fiction set in the 1950s and ‘60s, with a bit of an alternate history. And by that I mean there was a mass dragoning—thousands of women turned into dragons all of a sudden. Awesome, right?! I want to dragon.
But that’s just one book. Dragons have been popular across cultures in folklore and mythology throughout history all the way to the present, and you can find them across genres and categories even if they’re generally the star in fantasy books. That, of course, includes romantasy (romance + fantasy). Have you heard of Rebecca Yarro’s Fourth Wing?
Whether you’re a fan of dragons from folklore, mythology, childhood books, or stories you daydreamed, or if you fell down the rabbit hole of romantasy with dragons and refuse to come back to reality (smart choice!), here are some great bookish items for dragon lovers. There’s a bit of something for everyone including t-shirts with funny sayings, bookmarks so a dragon is always reading with you, a gorgeous pillow with a new dragon friend, and even a wall decal so you can have a little reading dragon as a roommate. Sorry, it can’t help pay the rent.
Dragon Book Pillow ($33): Cuddle up with a new colorful reading buddy, which comes in three size options.
Books and Dragons Postcard Set ($8): If you’ve been meaning to send snailmail, these adorable reading, and sleeping, dragons should be the motivation needed to finally get that mail sent.
