71 Science Fiction and Fantasy (SFF) book recommendations for SFF week readathon

Hello all! Me and a few of my bookstagrammer friends (ladybookamore, reydiantreads and dragon_not_a_worm_) have decided to host a SFF week readathon on Instagram. We have fun prompts to read the books from. So I thought maybe an elaborate book recommendation based on these prompts will help you to find your next SFF read!
