so I read Kropotkin's "Mutual Aid" and liked his ideas a lot.
What do I read next, that deals with the same themes and ideas? More Kropotkin or maybe some Bakunin?

Honestly it's basically like a contingency plan of what an anarchist communist society would look like, how it would function, along with philosophy etc attached to it. Very readable as well, compared to mutual aid. Fantastic book

"It is remarkable;' [Marx] wrote to Engels, "how Darwin recognizes among beasts and plants his English
society with its division of labour, competition, opening up of new markets,
'inventions' and the Malthusian struggle for existence."[1] The problem, as
Marx sees it, is Darwin's ahistorical approach to a purely natural evolution
without reference to the role of human action in changing the face of the
earth. The reference to Malthus is also telling because in his introduction to
On the Origin of Species, Darwin attributed some of his key ideas to Malthus.
... Interestingly, the Russian evolutionists who were not exposed to ruthless British industrialism
(Darwin was married to a daughter of Josiah Wedgwood, the famous
pottery industrialist, and so was familiar at first hand with competition
and the division of labor and of function) put much greater emphasis on
cooperation and mutual aid, ideas which were translated by the Russian
geographer Kropotkin into the fundamentals of social anarchism.

-Harvey, A Companion to Marx's Capital


Fields, Factories and Workshops by Kropotkin is a good read.

Also, perhaps Élisée Reclus' works and thought are of interest to you. Here's a short article on him: http://72.52.202.216/~fenderse/Reclus.htm
