Only adult one I can think of is Tailchaser’s Song by Tad Williams (cats). There’s a ton of these for kids, though; here’s a few I’ve read:
- Redwall series by Brian Jacques (forest critters; I found it repetitive after the first few, but ymmv)
- Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert C. O’Brien (rats)
- Stewart Little by E.B. White (mouse)
- Charlotte’s Web by by E.B. White (pig)
Edit: Sorry, I derped on the scifi/fantasy/action aspect of the request; the E.B. White books don’t fall into that category.
I’m desperately trying to finish Neuromancer by William Gibson so I can move on to spooky season books. It’s not bad at all, I’m just not really clicking with it, so it’s been slow going.

Finished Death in the Spires by K.J. Charles, a two-timeline mystery focusing on the unsolved murder of a member of a group of friends at Oxford. The author normally writes steamy romances, but this tastefully cut to black before anything got explicit. Something about the writing or story made it a very enjoyable, fast read; I haven’t devoured anything so quickly in ages.
