I'm trying to re-read The Winter People by Bret Tallent, it's your typical horror story about monsters that hide within a raging blizzard and feed upon the local residents, the sort of horror story I like. However this is my fourth attempt at reading it and I just can't get into it for some reason, I'm really going to try and persevere this time and see if I can finish it!
I'm persevering and it's getting better, it's never going to be in any of my top ten or even top one hundred books, but it's ok if a little formulaic and predictable (at least so far).

Which was excellent. A fitting tribute to Terry, written by someone who knew him well in the last quarter of his life.

What I had forgotten was how moving the last couple of chapters were. Highly recommended.
I'm glad to say that everyone at the book group liked the biography of Terry Pratchett which was my choice for the book group this year. Even though none of them have read any of his books!

And now I'm reading What Price Victory? by David Weber et al. the most recent anthology of short stories in his Honor Harrington universe.
Which was a good collection of stories by various authors, including one by David Weber himself.

Next up: Wind and Truth by Brandon Sanderson. The fifth in his Stormlight Archive series.

Unfortunately, Rowan Atkinson has ruined Jane Austin for me.

Ha! I very nearly referenced the Yorkshireman with a large beard in my post, but decided against it as I already did when reading Persuasion
