Goodreads Best Page-Turners With Redeeming Social Value: Summer 2020 X4 Update - Page 6

This list on Goodreads is inspired by Nicholas D. Kristof's "Action! Romance! Social Justice!" list, which I published as a challenge recently. The Goodreads version is much longer than Kristof's and is intended to include great works of fiction with a social justice angle, as voted by users.
Specifically this is an updated and 4 times longer version of putzberger's 2014 challenge available at "https://www.listchallenges.com/page-turners-with-redeeming-social-value". It contains many works published since 2014, so you can see if you are keeping up with trends.
