✔3. One of us is Next - fin 1/11
✔4. On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century - fin 1/18

Also marked these four as DNF:

Although, I should point out that I thought Our Hidden Conversations was wonderful. I gave it 4 stars. I marked it DNF only because it is so long, and I skimmed some parts of it.
