The Bluestocking
Bloody Mary in Blue
One of my recent favourites is the Iron Druid series by Kevin Hearne and the best character in that book is Oberon the Wolfhound (who even has his own Twitter account courtesy of Mr Hearne). He's funny, snarky, and great with observations and one-liners.
I also love Temaraire in Naomi Novik's most excellent alternative history novels about dragons in the Napoleonic Wars.
Plus, enjoying both series triggered the memory of two of my favourite childhood books:
1. Black Beauty which taught me a lot about animal welfare and is a great story to boot.
2. Wind In The Willows which is just hands down one of the best children's stories out there.
