I managed to find the book series I remember so vividly! Maybe I should re-read them?

I remember reading a series like that! I dont remember what it was called, but i remember some of the scenes.
What was the name of the one you remember? Maybe it was the same one.

I tend to prefer animal fantasy, which gets a little frustrating when you also want an adult fantasy... I feel like most books with animal characters gets shuffled into children's or teen books. I still read them anyway, but.

I'm currently working through the new audio books for Lord of the Rings and really having a good time; havent read the books since high school. They are like 20 hours long each though so it's a good thing I have a long work commute!

@doggenboy yes! Totally go for it!!

Also here are some more dragon books for anybody interested. They are geared more toward the teen reads.

Last dragon Chronicles by Chris d'Lacey. This wasn't my type of dragon story but others might like it! Series about clay dragons and tons of magic.

Erth Dragon series also by Chris d'Lacey. Started off as a mystery style dragon book but then goes off to a more magic and space type.

Pillage Trilogy by Obert Skye. Dragons in the real world with some magic of course

Age of Fire series by E. E. Knight. Books are dragon POVs in a fantasy land with dwarves, elves, people, etc.

Lastly is The Ice Dragon by George Martin. A short standalone book about a little girl and her bond with a very rare ice dragon

@LiminalLament I couldn't find a book title that was in english, could only find the swedish one which was "syster varg" which basically translates to "sister wolf".

@Sweetclover haha yeah I'm in the same boat as you :P

Have you read Ratha's Creature by Clare bell? I loved it and it definitely wasn't the average kids type animal books

Watership down seems to be an animal book that's fairly popular. A book about rabbits and I think it has its own movie adaptation too.

There's also Dark Wing by Kenneth Oppel. About prehistoric bats, and not afraid to throw in some gory scenes here and there haha

Then there's The Tiger and The Wolf. An adult book About people who can turn into animals. I wasn't able to read it yet, but it looked interesting!

@doggenboy
Aw, thats not the one i read. Well im glad you found it!

@ShyTiger
The Priory Of The Orange Tree is an adult fantasy book with a focus on dragons that I really enjoyed

I like fantasy the best, but ill read anything if it interests me. The Unspoken Name, Piranesi, and The Goblin Emperor have been my recent favorites. I just started the Murderbot series, which ive heard a lot of good things about, and i really like it so far!

It's making me so happy to see so many people who know about Watership Down! Nobody I know irl knows about it unless I've introduced it to them.

Has anyone read Julie of the Wolves? I haven't read it in ages but it was one of my favorites. It's about a girl in Alaska who gets adopted by a wolf pack.

Also, has anyone here read the Beyonders trilogy by Brandon Mull? It's really amazing -- one of those 'kid from our world gets trapped in a fantasy world and has to defeat the evil villain to get home' books, except it's done extremely well. I've easily reread it six or seven times, and the second book may or may not be worn out to the point where it usually falls open to my favorite scene by itself when set down...
