I've seen Starter Villain recommended on a number of lists and have seen ads for the Audible book while watching Prime. Not available via my library, it is on my want to read list

Wil Wheaton narrates, he has a nice voice, I've listened to him read his own books and others. I have read several other books from the same list(s) and can recommend them. Immediately coming to mind are Mort(e) by Robert Repino. Some people have objected to that series atheist moments...

Not so cat related, I also really enjoyed Hollow Kingdown by Kira Jane Buxton about a foul mothed crow and the zombie apocolypse in the Seattle area. For those from there, you quite likely have met the "Ikea Flock" of crows. I know they used to spend part of the day/year near the electrical contractor I worked for... In looking up the title, I found there is a second book I have't read yet -- now on my list! Again, some people object to the amount of language in this book -- but a crow only knows the words they are taught.

I've really enjoyed the Robin Hobb Rain Wild/Dragon books Kalama suggested. After my current book, The Other Side of Mrs Wood by Lucy Barker (about spiritualists in London near the end of the movement), I will listen to the 4th and final book of the Rain Wild books. I'd like the series to go on and on, but I can tell we are reaching a story climax.
I still have a lot of books recommended by this thread, and holds from 3-6 months ago coming avilable or being releases. Once again, my gratitude for the suggestions!
