When I was 13 (so….1992), I read a book about a virus/bacteria strain that could essentially regenerate things that had once been alive (animals/people).

* Wall-E-earth gets covered in garbage
* I Am Legend-cure for cancer causes plague that decimates mankind

And I generally write with supernatural creatures, so would those be sci-fi or fantasy? Or would it depend on the creature? And [...]
The book is a young adult or maybe teen fiction about a girl from a faraway galaxy with her father and another man. She comes to Earth (I believe) to stop another species from destroying everything. The other species has invented an advanced machine that eats wood and spews fire so the humans think it’s [...]
Just finished reading A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin and absolutely loved it. I’m a pretty well read reader but haven’t read too many sci fi or fantasy series, I typically just read standalone novels. I’m looking to read a great sci fi or fantasy series, or even a general [...]
