Diverse YA & Adult Fiction

What started out as a list of all the books I've read, turned into a list of some of the YA and adult fiction books that I remember reading (because ALL of the books I've read was becoming a bit long). This is a diverse list that include books from a number of different backgrounds, perspectives, country settings, and sub-genres (historical fiction, sci-fi, dystopian fiction, etc).
