If you haven't read it yet, I'd recommend trying The Slow Regard of Silent Things, which is a novella about Auri. Very odd, very different, but I really, really enjoyed it.

I never updated this thread but I closed 2015 with NOS4A2 by Joe Hill

I got this because I've been enjoying the Locke & Key comic series. (Recommended!)

This is an interesting horror story around the idea of a little girl who one day discovers her bicycle can help her find lost things. What would happen to her as she grows up? What if other people had similar abilities?
Hill's characters feel well formed and his writing is good enough, if not great.

The apple did not fall far from the three and there's a general resemblance with Stephen King's novel if you want to find it. I like King so that's not bad in my book.

Oh, and I started the new thread

It's there on a kinda-sorta-maybe list. Interested due to the main series, but may be too different, and seems rather too short to bother with.

The Island of Doctor Moreau during a series of power outages. It was an unexpectedly tense and stressful tale, that really had me fearing for the protagonist at several points. Pity there hasn't been a good film about it though. I wonder what director would be best suited for the job?

Alan Turing and His Contemporaries - Building the World's First Computers:

It's not so much about Alan Turing as a person nor is his contributions the centre piece: it's more about the whole British computer-building scene of scientists in and just after World War II. Luckily not too technical, as I don't know much about programming but what BASIC I was told in secondary school. An interesting and fun read.

Battleground Europe - Somme - Thiepval:

I got a whole lot of Battleground Europe books, they're written as guides for actually visiting battlefields and would be better appreciated by travelling to the sites, but still it's an interesting read about how close battles are related to landscape features and the travails those soldiers had to go for in their generals' wish for victory. I"ve only one more book to go, about Saint Mere Eglise. I'll miss the series.
