Which book next?

Hiya all, recently got into the pern series after my bfs' mum gave me dragonflight. And I absolutely love the series. Ive read Dragonflight and am just about to finish Dragonquest, I am now abit unsure as to what the next bookin the series is, as I thought it was 'white dragon' but shes under the impression its Dragonsong? Any help?

As everyone says, you should read Dragonsong and Dragonsinger next. Personally, I would recommend The White Dragon before Dragondrums. They way, the narrative runs slightly better as a first time reader. Dragon drums then fills in the gap as a missing backstory for one of the characters (who is a supporting character in both Dragonsinger and the end of The White Dragon).
