I read all the time. I have made a list of good women in stem. U totally recommend any book by Dava Sobel. She has books on longitude, Glass Universe, Planets, Galileo’s daughter, two on Copernicus
Hidden Figures by Margaret Shatterly
Rise of the Rocket Girls by Nathalia Holt
Simon Winchester Krakatoa with good explanation of plate tectonics, The Map that changed the world, Crack in the edge of the world
Pacifi
Has several madman and the dictionary books and orhers
What is interesting about the role if women in math, rocketry. astronomy is how they did the math and measurement and men got fame, money and publications

If you want quick easy review of high school math then Danica McKellarsuch as math doesn’t , girls get curves and
If you like history in New Orleans before the Civil War the start with a Free man of color and continue thru the series by Barbara Hambly The first book starts slowly in the first few chapters then is fun
U like Linda Fairstein books in a NYC assistant DA
If you like modern detective then Preston and Child Pendegast series is too. They write individual books. I am reading The new Book on the Monkey God

My favorite from Kidron is the Secret Garden and the absolutely worst book is Heidi

I read history topically so if you have an area of interest I probably could recommend

There is always Shakespeare, Edgar Allen Poe, RL Stevenson, Ivanhoe, Ukkiad and Odessey, Silas Marner because your parents had to read it, Dante, The Prince, Canterbury Tales,Sebastian Junger and so many more
