Adding a few of these to my list, Elisa. I could have lent you the Hunger Games series -- my kids ate those up. I actually started reading some YA. I had these books lying all over the house, and I loves me a good apocalyptic storyline.
I quite like YA. They usually have really good storytelling (I mean you'd have to, to grab and keep the attention of a teenager, right?) Just read John Green's latest one and enjoyed it.
I’m reading Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder, about Paul Farmer. What an inspiration he was. So relevant today.
Before that, I read Orbital, by Samantha Harvey, a moving and thought provoking novel about community and belonging against the backdrop of climates change, set in the space station.
And the Phoenix Crown, by Kate Quinn and Janie Chang, set in SF at the time of the 1906 quake told from several feminine perspectives. Illuminating.
And Anita de Monte Laughs Last, a novel about racism and misogyny told through two women’s stories.

Love this list and putting a few in the queue.

ooh, Orbital sounds right up my alley!
I read Gonzalez's book Olga Dies Dreaming and enjoyed it a lot.
A lot of these seem up my alley in fact :)
