My sister LOVES Anne McCaffrey books but I haven't asked her what they're about. Is it Sci-Fi?

She has written so many it is kind of hard to say yes or no, lol. So I'll go by series!

Pern - most popular, by far. TECHNICALLY sci-fi, but it doesn't feel like it, except for a few books. Basic plotline is people came to a planet, but due to various things, life devolved to a medieval society...with dragons! Most of the books take place about 2000 years after Landing.

Acorna - yes, indeed. Aliens and unicorns and timetravel oh my.

Talent (both Pegasus and Tower and Hive series) - Yes. The three Pegasus books tell about the founding of the FT&T - Federated Telepath and Teleports. The Tower books are the same universe, set much later.

*glances at bookshelf for reference*

Yah know? Yeah, most are sci-fi. There are a few, like No One Noticed the Cat (fantasy) and Black Horses for the King (King Arthur-ish), but most of them are sci-fi. Except for Pern, which is hard to class. She has written so many series. XD

Pern sounds REALLY interesting to me. I'm going to check the bookshelf in the spare room and see if she has those. ^.^ The others do too. Reading those descriptions I definitely see why my sister likes those books so much, those are exactly her type of book!

PERN IS AWESOME. But I may be a little bit biased, as my mom was addicted to the series long before I was born, and then when I was 12, she read me and my brothers White Dragon (so she could edit out the sex bits tehe), and that was the end. XD

PRATCHETT IS THE AWESOMEST PERSON EVER.

Also, must squee that new Tiffany book is coming out this year. *bouncebouncebounce* I don't get to squee about this nearly enough, not knowing enough TP fans. XD
