@inthehands I found Ursula K. Vernon's Harriet the Invincible (Hamster Princess #1) delightful, but that's middle grade and they might find that insulting if they are already reading "adult" books (I know I did, and then went back to read all of the cool stuff I missed in my late 20s).
For adult but appropriate (there are themes of sexism & some racism, so maybe a conversation starter) Mary Robinette Kowal's Lady Astronaut Series is brilliant on audio (she's a professional narrator and does it herself).
