Book Discussion Group: The Magic Thief

The Mindbridge Book Discussion Group met back on July 14th at the Coffee Talk Cafe in Cedar Rapids to discuss The Magic Thief. The nimble-fingered Writer Tamago posted the notes she took over at her blog. And as an extra bonus, since our book discussion Sarah Prineas has had another piece of short fiction featured over at Pod Castle. It’s called The Illuminated Dragon and is well worth a listen!
