I figure we're all probably a reading group! And just curious (perhaps to scout for recommendations too!)

i have a problem where i'm constantly reading several books at a time >__< mine are:

I usually have that problem also. Currently, though I am only reading:
S K I N N Y && ibi kaslik
it's taking me forever. it's well written and relatively small, but i'm on day three. its emotionally hard to absorb.

For Pleasure pride and prejudice - jane austen<333 I've only just started and I'm hooked!
For School Brave New World - Aldous Huxley absolutely terrible, everyone is high and no one enjoys love and beauty and it's just depressing!

Currently:
The Hippopotamus Marsh -- Pauline Gedge Ancient Egyptian Political Drama The Vulgar Tongue: Thieving slang and pick-pocket eloquence. Not sure who it's by, but it's a dictionary of all the lower-class British slang words. Yes, I'm reading a dictionary, but it's a cool dictionary. First Test -- Tamora Peirce I'm reading it again... but its good, one of my favorites.

starting this up again, who knows if anyone else will post, haha.
i just finished
the winter rose by jennifer donnelly really wonderful! it's set in 1900 victorian london (so hellooo! perfect!). it's the second in a trilogy. i think i wrote on here that i read "the tea rose," though this one is my favorite by far. unfortunately, the ending got a little outlandish. but 3/4ths of it was absolutely wonderful! so i say that's a win.
now i'm onto the historian by elizabeth kostova i haven't started reading it yet, but i've heard good things and i love history, so i figure it would probably be good! haha. anyone else read it?
