Thank you! I hope they do pull it off - it's such a powerful story. I guess I just wasn't expecting the changes they made for the series and I'm attached to the books πŸ˜„

Read: The Three-Body Problem Trilogy by Cixin Liu Some personal thoughts on Cixin Liu's tremendous science fiction trilogy, The Three-Body Problem (aka the Remembrance of Earth's Past).

Can't help but be disappointed by the Netflix #3BodyProblem series. If you've also read the books, you'll know what I mean.

Read Cixin Liu's 3 Body Problem trilogy. It's crazy good and has such depth.

It has taken me ages to get to this classic of African lit, but I've now read Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe! Simple and powerful with an ending like the crack of a whip, this short novel should be on everyone’s TBR. Full #bookreview:

The 2023 Booker Prize Looking for the UK's best in literary fiction? Check out this year's Booker Prize breakdown.

I can't wait to read Booker Prize winner Prophet Song: "Lynch pulls off feats of language that are stunning to witness. He has the heart of a poet, using repetition and recurring motifs to create a visceral reading experience."

If you enjoy sci-fi set in a world resembling the present, read the Three-Body Problem trilogy by Cixin Liu.

This world-altering story is set in motion after one person makes a unilateral decision that changes the course of human history!
