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)

Times are toughโฆ Here is a list of books that I was able to find as free audiobooks available on YouTube or Spotify!
Tiny Fables
All fiction books that appear in the Tiny Bookshop catalogue! Would sort them by genre as I read along.
Standard Ebooks Offerings!
I'm not affiliated with them in any way, but I talk about Standard Ebooks a TON. I wanted to make a list of some of the most popular offerings they have available to read. Their full library of over 1300 books is 100% FREE and from the US Public Domain. From Kobo to Kindle, they have a format that'll work for however you want to read, even PDFs! Save a few bucks (or library holds) here: https://standardebooks.org/

Pirates & Sea Faring ๐
I recently realised I love all things maritime, especially in fiction. My favourite movies, museums, books, even childhood stories all contain pirates, outlaws and the sea!
