I wanna read something that's about an interstellar voyage that takes decades or even centuries and is about how the ship's population handles it and evolves over time. I prefer sci-fi books that have a focus on scientific accuracy.
Would be cool if the book shows the ship arriving at its destination (even cooler if it included a ship with more advanced propulsion systems that launched after the main ship and arrived at the destination first without the main ship's knowledge).
Honestly any fiction book about interstellar travel would be fun to read.

Project Hail Mary was good
The later books in the ender’s game series have a lot about this. Specifically speaker for the dead and xenocide
The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers. Doesn’t take decades/centuries but does follow a ship on an interstellar trip.
Dinosaur Planet/the Planet Pirate series by Anne McCaffrey. You get a generation ship, multiple alien races, space dinosaurs, and one very unlucky individual who ends up in suspended animation so many times due to accidents/emergencies that she eventually meets her own great grandchildren.
John Scalzi has a Kindle short story titled Slow Time Between The Stars, about a sentient ship sent into deep space in an attempt to find a new planet for civilization. I enjoyed it quite a bit.
