This kinda doesn't fit any of those catagories, but it's SO FUNNY. The Fast and the Furriest. (No, Furriest is not a typo.)
Hope you like it! (If you read it, that is.
)

Hmm...here are two things I've read recently--
The Twistrose Key by Tone Almhjell (Narnia-esque)
The Ropemaker by Peter Dickinson (good classic fantasy, nothing weird or contraversial about it)
These are all slightly obscure, but worth a read.
And of course, my recommendation staples:
Everything by Robin McKinley
Everything by Phillip Pullman
Everything by Gail Carson Levine
Everything by J.R.R. Tolkien

@ S.E haha it is ok, I did the same thing and it took me literally like two minutes to figure it out.

I thought that too! Even after reading these posts, I still couldn't figure it out. I was looking up the books, thinking it was a joke or something... xP

I thought they wrote books called 'Everything' too! And then I read your posts. Oh.
