* My favourite young adult fantasy: [Foundling](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/210250.Foundling), first in a series. Lots of mythical creatures, with illustrations by the author. Incredibly unique worldbuilding.
* [A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54369251-a-wizard-s-guide-to-defensive-baking) by T. Kingfisher. Lots of magic, but no mythical creatures. There is a legally available free audiobook, but I don’t know if it will cause this comment to be spam filtered so I’ll post a link as a reply.
