Book 29 was Dragonhaven by Robin McKinley. A teenage boy ends up adopting a dragonlet by mistake, and the novel follows his struggles to raise her and keep her safe from the outside world.
This was an excellent book. The dragon concepts used in it were fresh and novel-with so many fantasy novels about dragons out there, it's always nice to get a book with a new variety of characteristics for them. The book also captured the feeling of being a young person becoming a "mom" very nicely. The world was quite nice-the setting for the story was a remote dragon preserve, and the feelings of isolation and the "us vs them" mentality of the preservers vs the outside world was well done. This was truly worth reading.
