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)

Graphic Design Diarrhea-Free Covers
Do you, like me, often find yourself looking at a book cover thinking, "Y'all are doing waaay too much." Why are book covers so dang extra nowadays? Here are some books that appeal to me simply because they have covers that don't look like a 19 year old with Photoshop barfed a bunch of design elements on a book and called it a day. Some I've read, some are on the TBR. And to all the authors and publishers out there, K.I.S.S.






Gotta Catch them All! Pokemon to Book Matches
This is a list of books representing every pokemon in HeartGold and SoulSilver (So Johto+Kanto regions). For my sanity, this is one book per evo line. The list with match-ups is in the commentsโ๐ป๐






Rereading the Revolution follow along
Based on my favorite podcast Rereading the Revolution. The hosts reread and recap popular 2000s-2010s novels from Divergent to Looking for Alaska.
The list is in order of oldest episodes to most recent. I will try and update when new episodes drop.
So take a walk down memory lane with these nostalgic picks, or find something new that sparks your inner teenager! Please give the podcast a listen, I think theyโre a great bookish podcast to support

The John Green starter pack
Growing up, there was a time in my life when everyone around me had developed a newfound obsession with The Fault in Our Stars. Naturally, I picked it up too. Little did I know this was the beginning of a long fixation with John Greenโs books that would last four to five years, give or take. So here are some of my favorite John Green books (all the ones Iโve read), along with a few related recommendations. If youโre currently going through the same phase.
