If you know anything about me, you know that thylacines are my favorite animals. Yes, even surpassing wolves. Yet I haven't yet read too many books on this subject. Let's change that! This book is as of writing this review the latest and most up-to-date work regarding thylacines.
Note: The title of this book has been translated into English by me for the reading comprehension of this blog's viewers as the book itself isn't available in English (yet). The original title reads Das Geheime Leben der Tiere: Savanne #1: Nuru und Lela: Das Wunder der Wildnis.
Another book in this anthology series. This time it's about a lion and a hyena. Spoilers ahead.
Book two! Let's take a gander. Spoilers ahead.
More wolf non-fiction for children. I'll review anything, really.
Book five already. Those arcs go by fast, lemme tell ya. Spoilers ahead.

Before you're wondering "hey, why is Alex reviewing book three in this series but have they skipped book two?": the answer is simple, this is an anthology series. Each book is about a different animal and a completely different story. Book one (which I did review) is about a she-wolf, book two is about bears (which I do plan on covering eventually, just not yet), and book three is about foxes. Book four is about ravens, but I'm unsure if I want to cover that one. So just to let you know that you (or I) are/am not missing out on anything by skipping book two.
Without further ado, let's have a look.
I never heard of this non-fiction book series before, but I like how short and simple their books look. Let's take a gander.
This one has been on my to-read list for quite some time! I recently watched the animated show based on it, which sparked my interest for the book even more. Spoilers ahead.

Okay, so, poorly-kept Alex secret: I love theme parks. I've visited quite a few in my time and while I love most, my favorite always will remain one in my home-country of the Netherlands: The Efteling, a fantasy/folklore/fairy tale-based theme park. I've visited it quite a few times and still try to visit it at least once per year if I can. It's definitely a family park, but it also has some rides for thrill-seekers such as myself. But even discounting the thrills, it's just a beautifully themed park with a lot of nature in it, and I adore most rides.
So when I saw that there was this huge book covering the park's entire history (well, up until the point the book got published, anyways), I had to grab it. Let's have a look.
This is a prequel/midquel/short story collection based on the book Luna the Lone Wolf, which I have reviewed before. Let's take a look! Note that this review contains both spoilers for this book and Luna.
I already read and reviewed the dog counterpart to this book...so let's take a look at the cat version here instead!
Never thought I'd consider reading mole xenofiction since I don't really have a particular interest in the animals, but it did look engaging to me. So let's have a look, spoilers ahead.
Phew, it was some hassle to get this book. Originally ordered it in November but after several shipping delays I ended up cancelling the order and just buying the ebook. Shame, I'd have liked a physical copy on my wolf shelf.
Anyways, let's take a look at this one. Spoilers ahead.
These reviews for the second arc are getting exhausting to write. Ah well, let's have a look. Spoilers ahead.
It took me over a year or three, but I've finally read the last Seekers book! And no, I'm not planning on covering the graphic novels. Let's see. Spoilers ahead.
Note:

This one looked interesting to me! Spoilers ahead.

This one I've had on my to-read list for a while, hoping it would eventually show up in Dutch libraries. It never did, so I got myself a copy. Spoiler ahead.
This one looked pretty interesting to me, so I gave it a read. Spoilers ahead.
The second book of what seems to be the final Bravelands arc. I'm sad about it coming to a close soon, but at least it was overall a good series, unlike some other Erin Hunter properties.
Let's dive in, spoilers ahead.
It has been a while since I promised to take a look at this one. Long story short, it took me ages and ages to find a copy online which matches my editions of books one and two. At one point I ordered one but they sent me the wrong edition, so I ended up returning it. It was a whole ordeal but I've now finally got a matched set, by buying this (correct) edition of The Mage secondhand.
Anyways, let's finish the trilogy, spoilers ahead.
I know this is the second book in the series and I haven't reviewed the first, but keep in mind this series is an anthology of standalone stories which can be read separately. I simply started with this one because it seemed the most interesting to me. I'm kinda into sled dog fiction and all that jazz.
Anyways, spoilers ahead.
If you've read my reviews of the movies of this series on the companion movie/series review blog, you'll know I'm not very fond of them. So let's review this book adaptation of the first movie. Spoilers ahead.
Another one that's been on my to-read shelf for a while. Spoilers ahead!
Yet another wolf non-fiction. Let's take a look-see.
This one piqued my interest a while back when I first saw it in German bookstores. While the first two books have been translated into English, Germany has (as far as I know) covered the entire series plus a few spinoffs, and I wanted to practice my German anyways, so I picked up a German copy of the first book. Spoilers ahead.
Been a while since I looked at a Verne book...which I have done only once before if memory serves. Oh, well. Spoilers ahead.
Note: The title of this book has been translated into English by me for the reading comprehension of this blog's viewers as the book itself isn't available in English (yet). The original title reads Tijgergenocide.
This book interested me greatly, so I borrowed it from the library. Let's have a look.
This one has been on my radar for a while. Let's take a look. Spoilers ahead.
