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)

French Literature Final Boss
=== Work in progress ===
Based on my original post on having quests for French Literature, I made starter packs but I'm thinking we just need a big dump! Thanks to everyone that participated and still do!
This list covers books across time by French authors (needs to be discussed and refined but hopefully can be inclusive and incentivize crossovers with the Francophonie mon amour list!)
Please be indulgent while I work on it and hop in the convo!






A Journey Through the Self
A compilation of books (mostly fiction) in which the main character/s set out on a journey, leading to moments of meditation, introspection, meandering walks through the memory, conflicts with both the self, the path, and others, and ultimately: change, for both the characters and the reader. In these novels, the journey is more important than the destination.
Recommendations are welcome!






Short books that are still a satisfying meal
Novellas that are a decent bite of literature and a full meal despite being compact. Like a burrito on a commute to work. AKA my full novella master list






A Pink Sapphicโs Bookshelf
the coquette femme aesthetic is of the utmost importance






bite-sized classics
classics (including modern classics) under 200 pages






๐ Novelette : Stories that refuse to Overstay
A novel is a prose work typically above 40k words, though many fall between 60-100k. Anything between roughly 17k and 40k words is generally considered a novella, while works between about 7k and 17k words are classified as novelettes, with some flexibility ~
TL;DR - short stories with 7k-17k words. Get out of that slump.






Books with pretty illustrations ๐จ๐ญ
Because Milo winter isn't the first to do so! Books and novels with illustrations have always existed! And I love seeing art peppered in through out a novel to get the extra boost as a reader. So here are novels with pretty illustrations in case you want that extra pizzazz in your books.






Kids Can Be Cruel
Name-calling and insults you might hear on the playground and beyond...
Anything can be an insult if you believe it! My kid brother used to get in trouble for calling us "you...you BEAN" with all the spite his little preschool self could manage ๐ฅน






we are each others ropes ๐ฑ
while the world tries to divide us, let's entangle roots and stories and hearts and build communities and connections that outlast the dark times. Together we can heal, together we can thrive. These books will make you feel less alone and help you grow real life connections ๐ค

Ah yes, this ol' issue that has plagued librarians and bookstore clerks for decades.
And sometimes you find the right book, but... can you even call that shade blue?






Tiny Fables
All fiction books that appear in the Tiny Bookshop catalogue! Would sort them by genre as I read along.
