I will not claim to have read everything in the series, but I consumed them year after year as they released, with few exceptions.
My first foray into the world of Pern was The White Dragon, the pivotal third book that resonated deeply with me. These are the first 4 novels in the Pern series.Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonriders of Pern books were, beyond a doubt, extremely influential to me and others as a source of world building and empathetic writing. Moreta: Dragonlady of Pern was a finalist for the 1984 Hugo Awards, and took 5th place in the 1984 Locus Awards. It was nominated for the 1979 Balrog Award, the 1979 Hugo Award, and placed 3rd in the 1979 Locus Poll Award, Best SF Novel. The White Dragon won the 1979 Ditmar Award, the 1979 Gandalf Award. Dragonquest was nominated for the 1972 Hugo award, and 5th place, 1972 Locus Poll Award, Best SF Novel. Dragonflight was 9th place in the 1987 Locus Poll Award, All-Time Best Fantasy Novel. 12mo (4.25" x 6.75") The first section of Dragonflight, called Weyr Search, won a Hugo award. Del Rey mass paperbacks with box, 1986, ISBN: 9780345340450, cover art by Michael Whelan.
