Interference (Semiosis, #2) by Sue Burke

Interference Semiosis #2 by Sue Burke
*** This is a re-read because book #3 Usurpation came out recently, and it's been ages since I've read #2 Interference. Book #1 I loved so much I've read it a few times over the years, so I didn't re-read it this time.

Mon 17 Feb... I didn't keep track of my pages today, be we will pretend I read 20pages. :)

Tues 18 Feb... pages 215 to 245 = 30pgs

Wed 19 Feb... pages 245 to 267 = 22pgs
* There's a lot going on in the story right now, so I actually backed up and re-read probably 8 or 10 pages today! (I didn't re-count them!)

Thur 20 Feb... pages 267 to 283 = 16pgs
* So close to done, I wish I could have kept reading! But I've got stuff to do today. :)

Fri 21 Feb... pages 283 to 302 = 19pgs
* Still not done? Oh, the pages are screwed up on the ebook.

Sat 22 Feb... pages 302 to 319 done

Usurpation (Semiosis, #3) by Sue Burke
Usurpation Semiosis #3 by Sue Burke

Sat 22 Feb... pages 0 to 14 = 14pgs
* Wow, I am really confused! haha! but Glad I read #2 again, anyway!

Sun 23 Feb... pages 14 to 31 = 17pgs

TOTAL == 124 + 31 == 155 pages for the week! ]]> Comment286764375 Wed, 05 Feb 2025 19:02:26 -0800 <![CDATA[Rift commented on "February 2025 Postcard Exchange" in The Post Card Exchange]]> /topic/show/23030062-february-2025-postcard-exchange Rift made a comment in the The Post Card Exchange group:

bookshelves: 2024
This was an impulse buy from the best seller list... It's an okay story, but I def don't like it as much as so many others do!

This is a story about a community and a community is made of people... I was kind of amused that every time a new character got introduced, we also have to learn about their parents or further back ancestors. But then I realized the history was for white people only. The Black people didn't get a history... and I understand that this is not a story about slavery. But ... just ugh. I have too many amorphous not-good feelings about this and I can't really put a word on it. Except ugh.

The community was held together by one woman. When she dies, the community comes together, one last time... but then the community shatters. [spoilers removed] And that's nice, but the story is about the community, and the community broke and fell to pieces... and I guess that's why I don't like the story very much. ]]> PollVote75658778 Fri, 23 Aug 2024 19:18:48 -0700 <![CDATA[ Rift voted in a poll ]]> /poll/show_vote/75658778 Would you like our monthly readathons to take place over 7 days (the last full week of the month) instead of 3 days (the last full weekend of the month)?. ]]> AuthorFollowing103030107 Wed, 17 Jul 2024 17:10:01 -0700 <![CDATA[<AuthorFollowing id=103030107 user_id=565471 author_id=161774>]]> Rating742517036 Wed, 26 Jun 2024 19:28:46 -0700 <![CDATA[Rift Vegan liked a friend]]> /
