Looking for book recommendations, please!

I second DragonLance.

Also:
Age of Fire series by E.E. Knight The first three books shares a tragic event from the perspective of one of three dragon siblings who each believe they were the sole survivor of said tragedy. They don't know they have living siblings and these books follow the growing up years of each hatchling afterwards.

All of the Requiem books by Daniel Arenson. There are many trilogies he's written about them. The Song of Dragons trilogy is the first. Requiem is the name of a culture of people who can turn into dragons. Weredragon is actually an insult to them and of course their enemies always call them weredragons and there's usually somebody wanting to wipe them out.

The Summer King Chronicles by Jess E. Owen. This is a series of four books about gryphons. One named Shard is prophesied to be the Summer King who will free his pride from one that conquered his pride long ago but he does a lot more than that.

Well I have loved the books in your original post so maybe we have some similar tastes in books.

I Highly HIGHLY recommend every book written by Robin McKinley.  I can personally vouch for the awesomeness of Sunshine, Shadows, Rose Daughter, The Hero and the Crown, the Blue Sword, Pegasus, Beauty; a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, Spindle's End.... and plan to buy and read through the rest asap!

They are fast paced, involve female heroines, and usually a liberal dose of magic. GOOD STUFF. SUCH GOOD STUFF!

The only complaint I have is that every time I get to the end of one of her books, I am sad to find there is not a second or third or fourth.  (Although a couple of them are essentially in the same world)

I also just enjoyed the Sarah Maas Throne of Glass books- the first couple better than the end ones. Not my favorite books of all time but worth a read.

I'm finally getting back into reading myself and am rereading Harry Potter. I would recommend Keri Arthur books especially the Riley Jensen Guardian series followed by her Dark Angel series set in the same world. They are paranormal action/romance. Also Jeaniene Frost's Cat and Bones series read in order including short stories and spin offs. These are some of my very favorites. Kickass female leads with vampires, werewolves and other paranormal creatures.

Christopher Pike books are good too if you want a nostalgic Jr. High feeling to paranormal and horror. My favorites are his Friends trilogy a who-done-it high school story with twists. The other is his Last Vampire/Thirst series even though I haven't read the newest additions to the series, just the original 6.

Lael Miller has a good vampire romance series.
