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
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!

In the February 2025 Read-a-thon thread, you will post your progress, telling everyone what you're reading and how many pages. Then all readers' totals will be tallied throughout the week to reach the goal of 10,000 pages.
This is a relaxed read-a-thon; it doesn't matter if you read 20 pages or 100, it also doesn't matter if we reach our goal, it's just having fun doing what you would normally be doing anyway.
Once the February Read-a-thon thread is posted/unlocked, make sure to put your name on the thread if you would like to be included. If you simply stumble onto the thread, then please, join in!
*An easy way to keep track is using the Currently Reading feature on Goodreads, entering your page number at the end of each day. **For those who read by eReader, take the page number which shows for paperback/hardcover here on Goodreads for your total. Calculate by percentage to work out your page number read.
***For audio listeners, check out how many pages the book has on Goodreads, then divide that number by how many CDs or hours it is to give you an idea of pages per time. Don't forget to post your totals of daily or full months' tally on the thread.
