“Project Hail Mary” by Andy Weir (author of The Martian) is definitely for you. I’d suggest not even reading a description of it, just go in blind. You won’t be able to put it down

Chris Hadfield has written space fiction –
1. The Apollo Murders
2. The Defector
I also endorse The Martian by Andy Weir, very accessible and funny, given the subject matter.

Enders Game series and Enders Shadow series by Orson Scott Card. That’s about one dozen books about space, aliens, and science fiction.
Also check out Carl Sagan.

For non-fiction space books, my go-to is Neil DeGrasse Tyson. He has several that feature short chapters of individual interesting topics. On particular one that comes to mind is Death By Black Hole.
One I’ve not read yet but am eager to after hearing an interview with them is A City on Mars by Kelly and Zach Weinersmith. The tagline of the book gives the needed explanation of the premise. “Can we settle space, should we settle space, and have we really thought this through?”
