Recs if you like My Remarkable Journey: A Memoir...

Raw, inspiring stories from trailblazing women who broke barriers in labs, fields, and academia. A blend of triumphs over sexism, groundbreaking discoveries, and the human side of scientific pursuit.

Audiobooks that are less than 10 hours long and are safe for work AKA not aiming to get you (too) horned up at your desk (no guarantees that you won't cry or get the creeps though). Recommendations welcome!

These Diverse Baseline Challenge was created by @bookish.millennial & @themargherita.s (on instagram). In 2025, the goal is to read 1 book by a racialized author each month. This challenge is meant to encourage readers to try genres they historically don’t reach for, find new-to-them racialized authors, and to encourage reflection on our reading habits.

This is a mix of recommendations by the challenge organizers and myself.
