DECEMBER
THE CHRESTOMANCI QUARTET (4-in-1 of CHARMED LIFE, WITCH WEEK, THE MAGICIANS OF CAPRONA and THE LIVES OF CHRISTOPHER CHANT) by Diana Wynne Jones
The only one of these I have read is the last, a well crafted little tale that is not as much of an advertisement for happy families as it might be.
AGAINST THE ODDS by Elizabeth Moon
I think I missed this or forgot it.
(Unfortunately I don't find her titles memorable)
THE FIREBIRD TRILOGY (3-in-1 of FIREBIRD, FUSION FIRE and CROWN OF FIRE) by Kathy Tyers (Alternate)
I missed this.
THE COMING by Joe Haldeman (Alternate)
As I recall this is a SETI story about First Contact whose point I was too stupid to see.
PARTNERS IN NECESSITY by Sharon Lee & Steve Miller (Alternate)
I own this but have not yet read it.
THE REDEMPTION OF ALTHALUS by David & Leigh Eddings (Alternate)
I don't read Eddings.
FIRE BRINGER by David Clement-Davies (Alternate)
I missed this.
EXCALIBUR by Saunders Anne Laubenthal (Alternate)
And this.
A READER'S COMPANION TO THE HOBBIT AND THE LORD OF THE RINGS (Alternate)
And this. I wonder who wrote it?
[If Goodreads can be trusted on this:
Isaac Asimov, C.S. Lewis, Ursula K. Le Guin , Edmund Wilson, W.H. Auden , The Times Literary Supplement, Philip Norman, Julie Phillips, Janet Adam Smith, and Joseph Mathewson]

Date: 2014-09-02 01:31 am (UTC)The Moon ... is a har^W^W^Wis listed in my booklist between Change of Command and Lunar Activity, which (without actually going and checking on it) leads me to believe that it's in a series with one or the other, or both.
The Lee & Miller is of course a Liaden novel, or more precisely three of them omnibussed: conflict of honors, agent of change, and carpe diem. It could serve as a good introduction to the setting, I think, though the omnibus from the year after, Pilots Choice, contains the two novels I've got before those three in reading order (local custom / scout's progress).
(And on investigating, no, apparently there ISN'T supposed to be an apostrophe in Pilots.)
The Eddings is entirely unrelated to his other serieses; it's a thick one-off about history and time travel and changing history and gods and goddesses and Althalus, a professional thief hired by a goddess to save the world.
