We need one of these for book series in the Post Apoc genre. There are some very good series out there. Although I'm not usually a fan of zombie stuff, there are a few really entertaining book series out.
The End of the World Running Club by Adrian J. Walker.
Michelle where can I find The Mother Fault? Is there an audio version? All of my typical sources don’t have it. Thanks!
The Third Magpie: A tenderhearted hero struggles against oppression and betrayal by MS Clements. Cannot recommend enough!

This is so cool! Thank you for sharing it!
Margaret Atwood's earlier MaddAddam triology - Oryx and Crake ; The Year of the Flood ; MaddAddamSuperb, especially the first book. Certain resonances with the current covid situation this year!
Wool by Hugh HowieAnd Wake by Elizabeth Knox also has a dystopian feel. (Can't disclose more or it wrecks the story)
Great list. These need to make it onto the curated dystopia list. I took a deep dive into that list and came up with what I think is an interesting view of the books. Check it out.

Into the Forest - I have read it several times - excellent
One Second After by William R Forsythe. Great book he did a 3 book series but the first book is just a great book
