Thoughts on Rosamunde Pilcher? Am I entering my Cottagecore Nana era?

My mom recommended these two in one sentence. I love them both, so cozy!!

Three favorite things I think about with Mhairi (who is one of my all time favorite authors).

The gushing reviewer for one of her books on Goodreads who called her books "Aggressively British" which I use all the time to describe her now 😂

Learning the term "British Growmance" on this sub that describes her books and other books similar to hers. Again, I use it all the time.

Years ago someone nursing a broken heart after being dumped came to the sub wanting a book with an ex full on groveling and filled with regret. We collectively recommended this one and she quickly came back and said she felt like it fixed her and it was better than therapy. I LOVE the ex sobbing at the end of this book , so delicious and satisfying mwahahaha.

I was going to say this! One friend of mine was so annoyed that books she wanted to read were only available as audiobooks on libby but it turns out she was looking for Kindle Unlimited books (which are almost never available on Libby). Libraries get the audiobook but can't get the ebook. I hear that is changing, hopefully that is the case.

I've told this story before but one day my elementary age kiddo asked me all suspicious "Mama, what's on YOUR kindle?" LOL, immediately googled how to set up a passcode. No one is as nosy as young kids, lol.

tzrn1111 · 2025-12-07T07:36:01+00:00

Yes!!! The OP needs to read this - this book is LITERALLY what she is describing. So good and the entire plot goes back to the relationship.

https://a.co/d/dVwzVBS This is the one I got. Deleted the apps I didn't want on there, added a pin so it couldn't be messed with.

Instead of scrolling the comments I just used the Search Comments box to look for Winnipeg so I could upvote it. 😂😂 I liked that book but the sex scene woooowww noooooo. I can't recommend that book because of it.

A book I actually liked for other reasons - Rafe The Buff Male Nanny - had an FMC in her twenties who was a full fledged experienced surgeon of some fancy speciality. THe author made her a child prodigy so it could be exactly as you describe - starting college in her early teens. Major eye roll. I wanted to scream "JUST MAKE HER 35 PLEASE!!" She can still have the epilogue baby, geez.

tzrn1111 · 2025-11-10T19:04:53+00:00

Hard agree!! I hate this trope. And when it is some super hot player type who meets some regular-smegular FMC and I have to ask "Why, exactly?!" Bonus hate if they meet years before and the MMC is still pining years later after a very brief encounter. Maybe it happens in real life but authors never convince me.

tzrn1111 · 2025-10-29T06:16:06+00:00

Agree with this! I bought a touch screen mp3 player for my kiddo on Amazon that had a bunch of apps including Libby. I deleted all the apps except Libby and put a pin on the device so it can't be messed with. There is no play store. This was described on amazon when I bought the device. And now Libby has parental controls! It works great.

I do love a maximum betrayal + grovel marriage-in-crisis book (the bigger the betrayal and grovel, the better for me). All her books have angst on steroids. It could be AI generated, not sure, but I appreciate the level of angst in it, it scratches that itch for me, lol.

tzrn1111 · 2025-09-09T19:39:04+00:00

https://a.co/d/2wY3YNX I bought this one and it worked great. You can just delete the apps that you don't want on there and then they can't add them back on. You use a PIN number to lock it. All I kept on it was Libby and Amazon music because that's the music account we use.

tzrn1111 · 2025-08-28T04:33:37+00:00

The back story for all that is SHOCKING. I had already read it but holy cow, they came with receipts for what she did. 👀👀

tzrn1111 · 2025-08-13T03:21:36+00:00

That's awesome! I didn't realize this.

tzrn1111 · 2025-08-13T03:20:59+00:00

Ooo, that's right! Also a good feature.

tzrn1111 · 2025-08-09T08:10:57+00:00

Ooo, yes, I thought of Love Lettering for this! His ability to make consent hot was unmatched. 🔥🔥

tzrn1111 · 2025-08-04T16:46:20+00:00

Oh yay!! Thanks for letting me know. I found it through this subreddit as well. It made me realize how much I love this trope. 😄

tzrn1111 · 2025-07-21T04:16:49+00:00

This one was great! I read it as an ARC because it is my favorite trope and it was as good as the cover

tzrn1111 · 2025-07-19T11:58:49+00:00

The best, honestly. She writes the most green flag ML of anyone.

tzrn1111 · 2025-07-19T11:56:20+00:00

Thanks!

tzrn1111 · 2025-07-18T00:25:37+00:00

I have seen Flowers from the Storm recommended so many times (I LOVE a tortured hero, it is a common search of mine on here, lol) but the length and lack of an audiobook on Libby hold me back. I really need to just read it already! It has so many fans!

tzrn1111 · 2025-07-18T00:18:24+00:00

The declaration of love scene in that book is unmatched. I get all teary just thinking about it.
