FictionFiction book reccomendations?
Posted February 8, 2024 by Tortiecat in Books

Fiction is something I find a bit hard to get into. I generally find myself picking up a book, not being interested and putting it back down, but I do find myself with a desire to find a book that I do like.

Partly it's becuase I'm curious about learning to write fiction- and yet I don't read fiction. I think that will not do.

I can tell you that I tend to like children's media and I like nonhuman characters, think anthros, aliens or fae or creatures of some kind.

As to reason why I like children's media, I'm not sure, but I like Helluva Boss (planning to watch Hazbin Hotel), so it's probably not necessarily child-friendliness I'm looking for, but an "over-the-top-ness", "fantasticalness" quirkiness and strength of aesthetic that is more likely to be present in children's media but not necessarily.

I'm not certain I want adult books, but try me.

As for inhuman characters, I'm not sure if it's anything to necessarily to do with their inhuman-ness but becuase they also tend to have a greater amount of over-the-top-ness and fantasticalness.

I can't help but feel human main characters would reduce the chance that I even try a book. - I am biased against them at this point, I always seem to find human characters uninteresting and too mundane and I like fantasy creatures.

So I'm looking for high fantasy I guess, only my idea of "high fantasy" is Sonic, My little pony :FIM, Rayman, Strange Magic, Helluva Boss. The Hobbit and Harry Potter is pretty mundane to me.

With a face like that, you simply must obey.

I don't know how to get it to rotate so it's upright, sorry!

It's a bit of a bug! It's fixed upstream, we'll get the fix soon.

Sooo pretty! Gorgeous eyes! What a sweet girl <3

Astraea1284February 9, 2021

She says thank you!

Ooh she really is the boss!! Gorgeous eyes, they pierce your soul!

She says thank you! She is definitely Boss Cat. Her younger siblings are bigger and sometimes try it on, but all she has to do is look at them and they back off going, "okay! All good here!"

She has a lovely outgoing nature but plenty of attitude. If I am not patting her enough, she will delicately lift my hand with her paw then nip my fingers to make me pay attention!
