I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

Thanks for checking in @Kurra. Indeed, I do. When there is an internet connection and a Kindle account, there is an infinite number of books 
.

Hmm, I do agree with you @Kurra; however, when I fled my husband I left behind all my books with quite a few rarities among them. There's a special edition of Shakespeare's complete works, Milton, Chaucer - all gone. I feel the books on my server I can take with me - anywhere 
. I do have a few non-fiction and text books, but basically it's all Kindle now.

Oh @Ffm48 i'm so sorry you lost your books. That's so unfair. At least you got away. And, like you say,, you now have the kindle world with you at all times. I hope one day you get your books back. You are very brave. Be free and heal. Take care.

There comes a time you have to priotise @Spookytookims. I won't get my books back; he's destroyed them along with a lot of other things I left behind simply because he knew what they meant to me. But you know at the end of the day, they are only things and in going I had the chance to live.

😘 good to see you @Former-Member. Thanks for checking back in. I've had a hell of a ride, currently trying to make hay while the sun shines. Sorry to hear your having a rougher time at the moment. All good with not chatting now. I've struggled to chat for the last month really. Look after you too. Will catch ya when you're ready 💜🤗💐
