    I am also collecting all of Pilcher's bks. I am thrilled that you introduced me to her. Winter Solstice was the first I read because you spoke about it so often😁. It is my favorite so far. I took the Blue Bedroom into Rehab w/me. That C-Mas story is in there as you know. Loved that and ALL the others; but the actual B.B. story itself, was my least liked. Unless it was the pain med... I am presently reading The Shell Seekers, really enjoying it.(don't like the son). I have the exact 2 copies of September, found the hardback in a library sale, also! Would love to get The World Of Rosamunde Pilcher. Thanks Gina, this was great as usual but wee bit better because of who you spoke about!🤗🤗

    You have some amazingly beautiful books there - I love those decorative covers! I’m lucky enough to have a really beautiful hardback copy of winter solstice, still unread and being saved for winter. I never read the shell seekers during the big hooha of it triumph over just about every other book in the 1980s but last year was given a copy And that is still unread. I think the size of them frightens me off! I’m so busy I’m sticking to short books at the moment. But I did get my hands on an audiobook of coming home which I’m going to listen to in the car when I’m coming and going. as I’m a huge lover of vacationing in Cornwall, I look forward to her stories about Cornwall. And here’s my most important news for you, Gina - I recently had put together a puzzle of all of those covers like what you were holding up of Young bar, et cetera - those kind of vintage covers. That was a really fun jigsaw puzzle. You would love it if you like putting puzzles together. I have since given it away but I bet you could find another one on eBay or something. You’d love it! Thanks for sharing!

      Winter Solstice is so good when read around Christmas. I WISH I could travel to Cornwall.... one of these days. That puzzle sounds awesome. Unfortunately with four cats and a rotating cadre of foster kittens, puzzles do not do well in my house :)

    Hi Gina, my mother used to buy Woman's Weekly every week so I must have read that story at the time. Needless to say she didn't keep all of the copies of the magazine. Also did you know there is also a book 'Rosamunde Pilcher's Cornwall' which was published in 2019 which is a guidebook which takes the reader on a tour of the key areas and places that inspired her creative writing. Another one for your collection I think.
