Doyle, Debra, and James D. Macdonald: (01) The Price of the Stars; [meta] 1 year booklog anniversary: Just a brief note to say that even when I'm distracted and perpetually short on sleep, Debra Doyle and James Macdonald's The Price of the Stars is still great fun.

Doyle, Debra, and James D. Macdonald: (04) The Gathering Flame: Back when I re-read The Stars Asunder and read A Working of Stars, I decided to re-read the rest of Doyle and Macdonald's Mageworlds books in internal chronological order. Partly, I was curious to see how Arekhon's character changed...
Doyle, Debra, and James D. Macdonald: (06) The Stars Asunder: During the weekend, I got to experience all kinds of things—massively annoying air travel [1], Kentucky highways [2], the precise point at which enthusiasm overcomes coordination on the dance floor [3]—which meant that, during my Sunday flights home, I...

Edghill, Rosemary (ed.): Murder by Magic: Murder by Magic, an anthology edited by Rosemary Edghill, is a 2004 book that was never booklogged, but not inexplicably: anthologies are more work to booklog. But I'm trying to get rid of that very old stack of to-be-booklogged: behold...
Macdonald, James D., and Debra Doyle: (01) "Stealing God": While we were out picking up the extended DVD of The Fellowship of the Ring, we also got a copy of Tales of the Knights Templar, edited by Katherine Kurtz, which has the first Peter Crossman story, "Stealing God."...
Macdonald, James D., and Debra Doyle: (02) "Selling the Devil": "I'd come to New York on business, switching out fabric samples from the Shroud of Turin so that the scientists who were doing the tests would declare it a fake and give it a rest." Ah, another Peter Crossman...
