Hi,

This year I discovered the work of Nnedi Okorafor. I'm still working
my way through her oeuvre, but I enjoyed her short story collection
Kabu Kabu.  Recommended for folks who enjoy science fiction and
fantasy.

As far as non-fiction is concerned, I enjoyed The Homing Instinct:
Meaning and Mystery in Animal Migration by Bernd Heinrich.

Regards,

Galen

These are fictionalized anecdotes from the author's experiences working at a veterinary hospital devoted exclusively to feline practice.  If you liked James Herriot's and Nick Trout's books, these are for you.  Being self-published they obviously haven't gotten all the publicity they deserve, but are easily available on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=urban+tigers+kathy+chisholm) or by interlibrary loan.
