Another book that has been on my TBR lost a long time.
pickFor all people who get wonderstruck by stars and the universe. Science terms are understandable and not that difficult.
“We each exist for but a short time, and in that time explore but a small part of the whole universe. But humans are a curious species. We wonder, we seek answers. Living in this vast world that is by turns kind and cruel, and gazing at the immense heavens above, people have always asked a multitude of questions”
First book of Stephen Hawking‘s I‘ve ever read and I‘m really into it despite only being on chp 2. It‘s always good to get out of our comfort zones. Maybe I‘ll rewatch The Theory of Everything after this 🌎🪐📑

What a loss for the world today. RIP Stephen Hawking.
I think one of these will be my next non-fiction read, in honour. Probably still won't be for a while though as I am slow with non-fiction these days.
pickThe book is awsm contain full of scientific information and describes the fundamental reason behind strange thing happening in the universe and we believe it is due to God.
pickI mean, what do I say? It's incredible stuff explained as concisely and clearly as humanly possible, I found it utterly fascinating (and the bad jokes oddly endearing). I would recommend reading a Brief History of Time first, a lot of material is restated but the earlier work helps with the groundwork of the theories in focus here. It's also a beautifully produced book with full-colour illustrations. #TacklingTheTBR #nonfictionchallenge17
Four of my #recentnonfictionreads and my current. The #nonfictionchallenge is definitely helping me read more nonfiction! #MarchintoReading
And now for something completely different... I'm finally returning to physics with Professor Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow, I hope I can keep up. A Brief History of Time was let down by the poor image quality (pictures help me learn!) but this one is beautifully produced, I love the colour illustrations! Thank you @DuckOfDoom my Litsy Secret Santa!
I opened my #secretsantagoespostal parcel this morning but haven't had any signal til now. Dear @DuckOfDoom thank you SO much, I love everything and your book choices are absolutely perfect, my friend just recommended Blood Elves to me yesterday! Please thank your mother for the beautiful book cover and have a wonderful Christmas.
Also a huge thank you to @BookishMarginalia for organising this joyous gift swap, it's been a wonderful experience ❤
After finishing the amazing A Court of Mist and Fury this weekend, and now fighting through the subsequent book hangover, I needed something completely different from the amazing story I adored so much.
I am going to run my highlighter dry before I am half way through this book! 😝
HaHa! Love this! As it happens I just watched the original BBC production of HHGG last night!
I started listening to the audiobook version and immediately realized that I needed the physical book for intense review and major note taking!
