I’m open to field of study, I’m a microbiologist with a heavy interest in space, physics, mycology, marine life, and science history. Preferably recently published.
A few of the books I’ve read and loved:
Everything by Siddartha Mukherjee
Everything by Mary Roach
Immortal life of Henrietta Lacks
Entangled Life
Braiding Sweetgrass
The Right Stuff
Etc.

Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson. Fun, breezy book covering lots of topics.
The Poisoner’s Handbook by Deborah Blum and The Butchering Art and The Facemaker by Lindsey Fitzharris.
**The End of Everything (Astrophysically Speaking)** by Dr. Katie Mack tied together a lot of cosmology concepts for me. I found it an easy and enjoyable read.
I can’t remember which Brian Greene book I prefer in theoretical physics, but his style is easy to understand and covers topics like M-theory/string theory, general relativity, special relativity, which is some pretty weird shit it turns out. Try *The Fabric of the Cosmos* (2003). Two different observers to the same physical phenomena may scientifically measure two different outcomes, yet both measurements are correct? My mind kinda melted at that
