First, comment the theme of books that you’d like to read in July. I will put up a poll, and then you can suggest books of the theme that won the poll.
Fantasy can not be one of the themes, since that’s what we’re reading this month.
Themes can be like time travel, contemporary, LGBTQ+, mythology, etc. Let me know if you have any questions!

All right!! The poll ended in a tie between science fiction and murder mystery/thriller, and I used a random name picker to decide what the theme should be, and it picked murder mystery!!! Suggest YA murder mystery books down here, and only ONE suggestion PER PERSON
