Illumicrate's 100 Best Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Books of the 21st Century

Happy Friday, readers! 馃挍 What books would you select as your favourite science fiction, fantasy and horror books of all time?
As everyone knows, we love books. Some of the team also love putting together lists. When the New York Times released their '100 Best Books of the 21st Century' article earlier this year, we thought it would be fun to put together a genre-focused equivalent! After several nominations and then many rounds of voting, here are 100 Best Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror books of the 21st Century, as decided by the Illumicrate Team.
