I’m a big fan of fallout, and i also really enjoyed the Maze Runner series. I’ve always had a fascination with nuclear post apocalyptic settings, especially when they put a big emphasis on survival.
Joe Abercrombie has a good series that starts with the blade itself
Also S. M. Sterling has an awesome series that starts with a book called Dies the Fire.

* A Canticle for Leibowitz, post nuclear apocalypse. A classic, and the only novel this author ever wrote. There is a sequel published posthumously that was finished by a different author.
* Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer, young adult post apocalypse series on survival, but in a more realistic setting.
* Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel. Also a more realistic setting.
* Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood, first in a series. Less realistic sci fi setting.
* Borne by Jeff VanderMeer, a bit similar to Oryx and Crake with the weirdness.
* Manhunt by Gretchen Felker-Martin. Less realistic horror setting. Note: contains slurs, graphic sex and violence, and scenes of rape.
* Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler. She writes characters incredibly well.
* The Road by Cormac McCarthy, slower paced and more realistic setting. I found this one kind of boring, but it is considered a classic.
* The Fifth Season by N. K. Jemisin. A fully fantasy setting with magic and a world very unlike ours that has an apocalypse. Lots of emphasis on survival, which is why I include it on this list.
