Happy new 2024! I've been more or less incommunicado with almost everyone on and offline, very reclusive, been in a very deep depression for 4 or 5 months. I'm slowly moving back into life again (I hope) and look forward to participating in GR again. Silver lining: loads of reviews from my friends to read. Love to everyone, I hope this year will be everyone's best year yet.

Hey, Petra! I’m so sorry to hear this. I know what it’s like. Fervently hoping for a year of peace and joy for you. -Ellen
So great to hear from you my friend! You've been missed on here. I'm glad you are starting to feel better. Take your time and can't wait to see some of your reviews soon ❤️🩹
"We are born kicking and screaming because life is hard. And it doesn't get any easier once we grow up." I hope you find your way again in 2024.
Hope to see you here regularly when you're feeling better and are ready to return, Petra. My deepest sympathy for what you've been through.
Happy to see your post. Missed your reviews and insights. Wishing you improved health in the new year with lots of great reading.
Petra, I can't begin to tell you how happy I am to see your update here. I've been so worried about you. No need to reply. Your top priority should be to take care of yourself. Just know that there hasn't been one time that I've visited GR and not thought of you. This place isn't the same without you.
Happy New Year, Petra!It'll be good to see you back on here when you're good and ready. All the best! :)
Happy New Year! I've really missed you! I wish all the best for you, take care!
Great to see you again! I'm currently nearing towards the end with the surname book we've talked about (British Surnames), so I'll be posting it sometimes this month :)
Happy New Year Petra! Sorry to hear you've been having a tough time. All your GR Friends look forward to seeing your reviews again - when you're ready!
Oh, Petra! So sorry to learn things have been so bad for you. I’m glad you’re making your way out from under—it can be so hard and such slow going. I’m happy to see you back, looking forward to reading your reviews, and wish you a very tasty 2024! ❤️
Thank you all so much for your kind messages. I thought I'd lost all my friends here! I lost them IRL and family. Couldn't bring myself to meet people, reply to emails, phone calls or anything. But it is a new year, and the sun is shining... Thank you all again.
Many continued wishes for improved health to you Petra and for a Happy New Year! I have missed your always entertaining reviews and commentary and have wished for your speedy recovery. Be well!
Dear Petra, I wish you all the best in health and books for 2024! Feel your feelings and take it one day at a time. You're a legend on GR! Take care and best wishes :)
Good to hear from you Petra. A great relief. I'm sure a good year awaits you. Anyone who knows lows appreciates what comes after.
Been missing you Petra. Glad to hear from you. Looking forward to reading more from you in the New Year.
I looked up your account recently, as I hadn’t been seeing you in my feed. I was sad to see that you had been on hiatus. I always enjoyed your reviews and your regular questions for us to discuss. Your account is one of the reasons why I keep using Goodreads, and I think that it embodies the spirit of this site’s community really well. Welcome back and happy reading.
I have missed your reviews and questions to the community. Sorry that you have been struggling with your mental health and glad to hear that you are improving, wishing you all the best in 2024 and of course HAPPY READING!
I have missed your brilliant mind! I’m sorry you are feeling down, but taking time for yourself is so important. Sending positive thoughts your way!
Thank you, it feels very warming that so many of you have taken the time to comment. I am trying to get real life together first. I have emails from family going back months I haven't read and am frightened to read in case they are (expected) bad news. I never thought it would be possible to go down so far or in this unexpected way of wanting no contact with anyone. Still I did a lot of reading! Happy new year everyone.
