Fantasy
This may have some “talking animals” in it, but overall, I'll deem every book in this list more Fantasy than anything else :)
If you like fantasy, but are tired of the characters always having to solve world ending stakes, then you NEED to read this book. It's a story about a gal just trying to make her way in the world via coffee. Who can't relate to that? Just finished th...
Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree
The prequel sequel to Legends and Lattes, Travis Baldree narrates this book himself absolutely AMAZINGLY, just like the first one. Following the same character, Viv, but before she crashed out and started a coffee shop, she gets sidelined and ends up...
Bookshops & Bonedust by Travis Baldree
Definitely a cool author- check out his books! I have my favs listed here :)
Travis Baldree
If you want a long series of books to read, then start with this book in the Wings of Fire series. It's engaging with interesting characters and most importantly… DRAGONS! The world explains itself along the way, leaving room for some mysteries to ge...
The Dragonet Prophecy (Wings of Fire #1)
What if man eating Kelpies were real, but people tried to ride them in one fantastic, extremely dangerous race? Well, here's your book detailing exactly how that would work. If you love horses and the idea of carnivorous horses with fangs, then this ...
The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater
Similar to The Scorpio Races thematically, this story follows a girl as she navigates her world in the only way she'd been brought up to know- by riding and racing giant monster beasts to win money and survive. A compelling read by a great audiobook ...
Race the Sands by Sarah Beth Durst
A bit outdated in terms that made me flinch, otherwise a good story that challenged by perceptions and made me stop to take several quotes from the book. I love stories in deserts, adventure and a touch of mystery and this book does have all three. T...
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
Sci-Fi
A lot of Sci-Fi books are super hard core and technical- not these! They're full of grit, good characters and… hope.
I've loved this book since 1996 when I first read it in 6th grade. I remember reading it all day at school, then finishing the last chapters on the stairs before I even got to my bedroom. I just needed to know how it ended!!! If you like animals, the...
Animorphs #1: The Invasion by K.A. Applegate
Following the previous story in The Invasion, this book follows another main character Rachel as she figures out high school, crushes, best friends… and how to defeat an alien infestation taking over the world. Yawn, just another day in the life of a...
Animorphs #2: The Visitor by K.A. Applegate
Following the loner Tobias as he copes with the fact he's stuck in the body of a hawk, for the rest of his life, this book is the one that made me finally go from rolling my eyes at these covers to going, “Oh wow, yeah… I think I'll check these out!”...
Animorphs #3: The Encounter by K. A. Applegate
If you want to follow one of the most genuine, awesome, non-problematic authors out there, then look no further than K.A. Applegate. Of course I was introduced to her work back in the Animorphs days, but she's since moved on to children's YA books (w...

Talking Animals
Love animals? Want to read books featuring them but can't ever find any good ones? Oh, I gotchu! Check these out!
Bloody battles, killing bites, scratching claws and… kitty cats? If you want to get into the world of feral cats and engrossed in almost 100 different books based on these characters, then get started by reading this one. The audiobook narrator is EX...
Warriors #1: Into the Wild
If you've ever wondered what the inner workings of a deer herd were like, then this is your book. In terms of plot, this book is like a mix of Bambi and The Lion King in terms of plot and the story finds you, drags you in and you can't put it down!
Fire Bringer - David Clement-Davies
Following a pack of wild wolves, this story is similar to The Firebringer (same author) in that it gets into the inner workings of the pack, pack life and what it means to be different in a world that wants to kill you for it. Engaging, cruel, sad- t...
The Sight by David Clement-Davies
