TBR Thursday concept via Moonlight Reader

 

 

Not much has changed since last Thursday, to be quite honest. This is really more of a currently reading update rather than a TBR list.

 

I've made my way through to the third book of the Temeraire series, Black Powder War, though when I started I thought there were only four. There are seven and counting...

 

I have made some headway in Pain, Parties, Work, though I'm not reading it regularly, so I don't know if I'll ever fully commit to it. I've also been reading (an extremely academic) book on Doctor Who, Triumph of a Time Lord, but it is slow going as well.

 

I recently found a copy of Karen Memory at my used bookstore, and I think it might bump a few items off the list in its favor.

 

Since this is deviating from the real intention of the update, I'll put together a little "dream TBR" (books I don't own and don't have the budget to buy, but hope to read someday in the future):

 

1. Women in Clothes

2. Fashion Writing and Criticism

3. The Cambridge Companion to Science Fiction

4. The Cambridge Companion to Fantasy Literature
