Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Sweet Liar (Candy #2) in Books

Jan 6, 2021

*A copy of this book was received from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review*

Hmm... It's taken me a few days to read this, mainly because of work but also because it didn't go how I expected.

So, I read the first book Like Candy a week or so ago and I was loving the blossoming relationship between Candy and Jonah but I wasn't so keen on the other half of the plotline, the dad thing.

Unfortunately that was what this followed up on, especially after that cliffhanger ending from the last one. I needed an explanation but I also wanted more of the romance.

We did get it, along with an emotional rollercoaster, but the main plotline in this was around Candy's father.

It didn't grab me like the first book did but I'll admit to having a good old cry at the end.

There were nice bits and not so nice bits and together it was alright. It was a good ending to the story--and I'm assuming it is the last one?

Kudos

BookInspector (124 KP) rated Trailblazers: Stephen Hawking: A Life Beyond Limits in Books

Sep 24, 2020 (Updated Jan 26, 2021)

This book tells the life story of this great astronomer from his birth to the end of his days. However, this book is written in a quite simple and understandable language, that curious children could process. I think to enjoy this book, the child needs to know a little bit of physics and be interested in space and black holes. This book not only shares the parts of Stephen’s life but also explains his discoveries, that are quite technical. I really liked the illustrations in this novel, they make the whole book less textbook-like and more enjoyable to read.

As an adult, I really liked the knowledge I was able to gather from this book. Stephen Hawking was a charismatic, funny, and intelligent person, and I respect his bravery and strength. I was very happy and inspired by his inventions and personality, and I think not only children, but adults should familiarise themselves with this incredible person’s life and achievements. Do give this book a go, and hopefully, the next generation can continue his great work. 🙂
