[ufcasey]

Please add your recommendations here for Book Club reads in 2021. Things you need to include:
- Title of the book

Some books cross multiple genres, so try to just pick the predominant one from these options:

• Classic
• Fantasy/Sci-Fi 
• General Fiction
• Graphic Novel
• Historical Fiction
• Mystery/Thriller/Horror
• Paranormal/Urban Fiction (has fantasy elements but in our 'real world' setting)
• Poetry
• Romance (contemporary, historical, fantasy, sci-fi settings etc)
• Young Adult (contemporary, fantasy, historical settings etc)

It doesn't matter when the book was published, so feel free to recommend any book you like!


I'll let people recommend books between now and 12:01am EST Monday, December 14.  Feel free to come back and recommend more books as you think of them, you don't have to recommend all your books at once.
