After 3 months in the UK, France & Morocco carrying books around, for the next 3 in the Far East, South Pacific & NZ I will have ebooks on my phone.Me a bookseller!My bf has MS & is a prof & has a sabbatical so we spending the year travelling. Apart from my son & staff, he's pretty much the only person I engage with. interaction with people has become so hard for me & I don't know why. I'm sorry.

My hope for you is that it will be a healing journey.
No apologies necessary. The journey is what it is. Thank you for including us to whatever degree feels sustainable. Safe travels, Petra. And books that appeal - no matter how they come to you!
I totally understand the difficulty of interacting with people except those you're really close to. Trying to think of what to say that doesn't sound trite, hating the repetitiveness of small talk but not being able to think of anything better.
Ebooks are great for traveling (the only times I ever use them). Glad to see you engaging here, even if only a little bit.
I’m proud of you for opening up. This shit ain’t easy and the world is a scary place. Stay safe on your travel. Travelling usually changes you and helps you make some sense of yourself 🤗

What Andra said, above, Petra!
Enjoy the travels; hopefully traveling will brighten up your life. Ebooks are certainly convenient; as much fun as reading a paper book is nothing beats the convenience of not having to lug around a suitcase of books,
I hope you enjoy your travels this year, and eBooks are ideal when traveling!
Try to be as happy as you can be. And remember that many people care about you.
Perhaps interaction with other organisms, 🐶🐮🦒🪴🍄🟫🐈⬛🐢… can make other interactions in the brain , wishing you good times, Petra,
I of course like that devices make books more portable, but reading on my phone makes it hard to see. The blurry vision lasts for hours. After consulting with my eye doctor, I've made some adjustments including going back to mostly physical print books. Safe travels. Calm waters and smooth sailing Petra.
I hope you enjoy your travels (and reading)!
Hope your travel is going well - some great places on your list. Keep us posted!
I’m glad to hear from you, Petra! I hope you are doing better now. As an ebook reader, I feel that you will enjoy reading them as soon as you get used to reading them. Good luck for now. Enjoy your travels. 🤗
Good to hear from you, Petra. You are so blessed to be able to travel as you are. Take care and keep on reading.
Petra~Do not apologize. Hope traveling helps you and being with people you are very close to. Take your time and do what you need to feel better. ❤️🩹
Petra so great to have an update. I'm so glad you are travelling. I hope you continue to feel better. No pressure. Just take it one day at a time. I'm so glad you now have books available through your phone! Take care hun 💞
