I finished Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer this afternoon and have to say it's a great book, I'll definitely put a review up soon (still, haven't done one for 'Three-Body' yet!) I'm still not sure what the book was about but I definitely want to read the rest of the trilogy. It's a psychological horror sci-fi book which is almost Lovecraftian in it's depth. A background of an ecological disaster and an expedition into the danger zone only goes some way to understanding this. VanderMeer has a wonderful imagination and conveys it with his writing. Really enjoyed this one.

Ann Leckie's Ancillary Sword next which should be fun as I quite enjoyed Ancillary Justice.
