Recs if you like The End of Everything (Astrophysically Speaking)...
A Braid in Space
Heavily influenced by the picture of Christina Koch's braid floating zero-g as she smiled at the moon (2026, during the Atremis II mission). Nonfic on space from perspectives outside of white men! Space exploration, astronauts, astronomy, and the history in between it all!
Ologies Podcast Suggestions
Ologies is a weekly science podcast hosted by Alie Ward. Each episode, Ward interviews an expert from a distinct scientific field.
This unofficial list contains book suggestions made by the host or by her guests. I avoided extremely technical books or papers. Currently from episode 1 to 525 More details on these books and their associated episodes in my ever evolving spreadsheet.
In the spreadsheet there are also books not found on Goodreads and general book recommendations (like the entire bibliography of a specific author or group of people)
Astrophysics & Astronomy by WOMEN and GENDERQUEERS
I want this list to highlight women and gender minorities* who wrote about astrophysics/astronomy, or their experience studying it. I also included some biographies because a lot of the history of women+ in physics was (and still is) ignored, even though their contributions are phenomenal :)
I could change the list to include all of the branches of physics (instead of just astrophysics) but I only had astrophysics books in my personal library hehehehe
Welcome to Outerspace 🌌🔭☄️🛰️
Non-fiction books about astronomy, astrophysics, space, planets, galaxies, black holes, and more. 🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘
Non-fiction by Women
A collection of non fiction books from women in science or any other field of knowledge! I'm so tired of having to listen to men that I am making it my mission to read as many non-fiction books from women I can.
Stories in STEM!
This list focuses on nonfiction books that describe different topics in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math). This list tends to prioritize books that focus more on the whys/hows something works, but occasionally dive into the history of subjects too!
Happy reading! As always open to suggestions!! 🤠🌱
Women in STEM
since it's women's history month here is my ever growing TBR and admiration for women who have come before me. You are invaluable and inspiring to say the least ♡
