I really enjoy young adult survival/apocalyptic books like Maze Runner and The Hunger games. I also really enjoyed The Road by Cormac McCarthy, it doesn’t always have to be young adult but I do really enjoy the romance aspect that some of them have.

I really enjoyed World War Z by Max Brooks. Never watched the film, heard it was not good.
The Dog Stars
Small Game by Blair Braverman. A group of contestants go on a TV survival show but things start to go awry. One of my favorite reads of the year!
*Moon of the Crusted Snow* and it’s just released sequel, *Moon of the Turning Leaves* by Waubgeshig Rice.
You’ll learn a lot about Indigenous people, too. Great books.
Blindness by Jose Saramago
Oryx and Crake, series by Margaret Atwood
The Stand by Steven King
The Boy on the Bridge by M. R. Carry
The Girl with all the Gifts by M. R. Carry
The Scarlett Plague by Jack London
The Gone series by Michael Grant. I read these about 5 years ago and enjoyed them. It’s about a town where one day everyone over the age of 18 disappears. The kids have to learn to survive, it can be quite brutal at times.
Hatchet. If you haven’t read it yet, then you gotta read it soon
Angelfall/Penryn and the End of Days by Susan Ee. Some romance but not smutty as far as I can remember but I could be wrong
The Island Keeper by Harry Mazer.
Calizona by Ralph Rotten, and it’s sequels. Redneck preppers win the lottery, then an asteroid hits the earth. It’s funny too!
The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin. It has survival, political conflict, sci-fi, non-traditional romance, and tragedy. It’s very ahead of it’s time and beautifully written.
