Semiosis by Sue Burke has won March's group read! This is the thread to discuss Semiosis in March. Please use spoiler tags and chapter/page numbers when talking about the book.

Thank you!

Goal: Get in new house. Sleep. Much sleep.

So the loan approval we should apparently know by Wednesday and the guy said with the numbers it's always gone through and closing must be 3 days later, which would be the 30th. So it's possible but would mean we might have to move out in just one day. At least that's what we were just told. Here's hoping it works out! I've been doing a lot of knocking on wood.

If I make it to my birthday i'm celebrating. I don't generally care much about my birthday but this past year started out awful (literally within minutes of my birthday last year our kitten Shadow, just a kitten that had been struggling and we'd been doing our best for those couple months, passed away and it kept going from there. I hope he's in kitty heaven) and just kept going, so making it to 32 i'm considering a hell of an achievement!

Thank you :)

Thank you. I hope so. If we can just get in the new place hopefully everything will smooth out, the getting there process though...

This doesn't even mention everything going on in my life. Health stuff (both me and my husband), hurting myself (not on purpose), learning things about myself (nothing bad), family members not accepting me for who I am (queer).

One of the only people that was trying, was my grandmother that just passed. I have a tattoo I got with her name in a rose when I was 19. I'm thinking when I can I should get it touched up. I'll be 32 next month...February 10th. At this point I don't care about my birthday. If we're in the new place by then, which we should be, maybe i'll celebrate it anyway.

Thank you, all of you, for being here for me. It means a lot to me. Even just being able to rant and get it out here. Anyone can do that here by the way. :)

I hope we never have to move again after this either.

Thanks, but I can't drink because of medical issues. And I have to have a routine of medicine/eating at certain times every day to keep my body working. And I got maybe 3 hours of sleep last night, and that was before learning about all the delays this morning.

I'm really sorry for all this. I just want to both explode and crawl into a hole and say fuck the world.

I'm just watching youtube videos. My watch later list is still long. I have books, including downloaded (in case of lack of internet) ebooks and audio books and stuff I can do. Mostly though I don't have much energy to do anything and I must be running on fumes.

I'm sorry i'm such a disaster right now. It seems like January for me is going to put all of 2020 to shame and 2020 was awful. And who knows, maybe it'll be ok and this will be an exaggeration (hopefully) but it's how it feels right now.

Yea. Our realtor is trying to get us early access to the house by explaining the fact we will end up homeless if we aren't out of here by the end of the month because it could take until Feb 4th at least for the loan stuff.

I am physically nauseous and in pain from everything i'm going through right now. I hate complaining but this is way too much. It's causing actual physical sickness now and I can't stop crying.

I'll try my best here obviously but I can't promise anything right now. I just want to crawl into a hole.

The sellar waited until the last second to do all the tests, like the water, for the certificate of occupancy, so the loan approval has ben delayed 3 days. We were supposed to move starting tomorrow, the closing was set for tomorrow. But now it's delayed. If we don't get out of here by the end of the month we will be homeless!! I am so stressed out right now and tired and grieving and burnt out right now.

Ty, I will. I need to try and sleep now. It's past midnight. I'll still be around of course but if I seem more lack luster than usual or something...i'm sure you all will understand. I just need time.

My grandfather, her husband, has passed away too. Same day. Fuck Covid. Fuck Cancer. I am so sorry everyone. Thank you all for being kind and understanding.

Ty everyone

Thank you both

Thank you

My grandmother passed away from Covid last night (and my grandfather probably isn't far behind - not Covid) and in the next week or so me and my husband should begin actually moving into our new home.

So I do have everything I need to do in my bullet journal (like I always do) but if things are delayed a bit, this is why. Same with responses.

Wow! I honestly didn't realize how many covers had trees and flowers on the cover either!

I'll +1 Starving Ghosts and Lucid Screams

Now i'm looking at more closely and feel silly. My bad.

Oh! I thought it was a bug lol. Like a centipede or something.

Sure! The threads are still open. Go right ahead :)

Under the Overtree seems to be out of print, though it can be found used.

I'll +1 Semiosis. I'm not sure what that is on the cover but there are definitely trees on another version of the cover, a French one but still :)

March's theme is Trees or Flowers on the cover!

Nominate some books with trees/flowers on the cover to read in March!

After this thread has been up for a bit and has some nominations a poll will be held with the nominations to decide March's group read.

Books with seconds, thirds etc. are more likely to make it to the poll if there are a lot of nominations.
