Liu Cixin's Three Body Problem. I'm not much on sci-fi or fantasy, so this will probably be a bit of a slog. Still, I hear good things about it, so who knows? Maybe I'll wind up enjoying the read.

Thought I'd give While Justice Sleeps by Stacey Abrams (yes, that Ms Abrams!) a go. I understand she has several romance books under a pen name, but I'm no fan of recent entries to the genre, at all. Never thought I'd find 70s/80s bodice rippers preferable to anything, but here we are. Anyway, a legal thriller is more my style, so I'm glad to support Ms Abrams' side job with an actual purchase.

In the background for as long as it takes: I'll be pecking at Woman in White by Wilkie Collins. It's been on my TBR pile for-bloody-ever, but Victorian novels and I are not besties; however, I'm determined to get this one off that TBR, once and for all.
