Love the fey (prefer them to be dangerous and unpredictable, but lighthearted and mischievous too- there's room for all kinds) and werewolves (I don't read shifter PNR's but I like a good were tale). And of course dragons! :) <br /><br />Unicorns are nice but don't show up much. I think maybe authors aren't sure what to do with them.

However, the majority of magical books have my vote. I also enjoy witches, but centaurs also come to mind (I think because of my horse obsession). The reason you don't find many books with unicorns in them is because unicorns are so rare that the only books to Litha Nellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06350209887646891024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174167584829577698.post-69946601463863969122016-10-11T15:18:39.179-06:002016-10-11T15:18:39.179-06:00Great topic!

Especially if it involves fairies and shifters. For me, I would add witches.

Whether they're the nice kind, or more sinister, they add the perfect magical and mischievous element to fantasy worlds :) I also love reading about dragons!
