2021 Upvoting Thread

[Stina]

Thank you to everybody who suggested genres or themes for next year's reading! I'll compile them below, and then you can each comment on this thread with up to 12 of your favorites. (If you list more than 12, I will just count your first 12 and ignore the rest.)

Also feel free to suggest which month(s) you think would work well for any particular genre you are upvoting. Please note that anybody in the group may participate in this thread; you do not need to have suggested any genres yourself. I will post a last call for votes a few days before I close this thread.

Now that, after several messages of Stina, I decided myself to add some new themes, discussion is closed.
I wanted to add
- a book happening in Portugal
- a book in its original language (not English)

but too late !

for the rest, I will follow the lead.
