Six Winter Novels to Read this Season

[@Sa_Stafford]

Goodness … The Nine Tailors. I read this decades ago but recently acquired an audio version, which I will definitely listen to now you’ve reminded me. Thank you ❤

[@paula30979]

Just wanted to share with you that you’re hands down one of my favorite podcasters. The books you recommend and review have all been very worthwhile reads. It’s nice to hear the little snippets of stories that you share and last but NOT least, it’s always fun when Miss Tilly makes a cameo appearance. Thank you for what you do! ❤️

[@Briardie]

We're only here for Tilly! Seriously though, I have discovered some stunning gems through your recommendations. Thank you. Your channel deserves to grow and grow.

I'm so glad I found you! I love to read, and kind of hibernate in the winter, so having your list of books to read will make the nasty weather easier to live through! (I live in Wisconsin in the U.S. and we had our first snow yesterday, November 21st). I have read Jamaica Inn and actually was there! I lived in Norfolk for about 10 years, travelled that part of the country on vacation, and just had to find the Inn! Have a picture of it in my copy of the book. Enjoy your videos, and Tilly of course.

Winter Solstice by R Pilcher is one if my all time favourite books to re-read! Elspeth & Oscar 😍 Also high on my winter reading re-read list in A Redbird Christmas by Fannie Flagg.

[@kaygreig656]

Snow falling on cedars by Guterson. Great for a cold gloomy winter weekend - snow optional but enhances the narrative!

[@kaygreig656]

Plus a lighter read is Christie’s Hercule Poirot’s Christmas.

[@maryfilippou6667]

Thank you Rosamunde! So glad I am online again. I've missed you! So hlad you suggested Jamaica Inn as I've thought for decades it was not set in England! I have Lovely Bones and never read it. Now sounds intriguing. I recommend for Winter a Maine writer, Van Reid and his Daniel Plainway or the Holiday Haunting of the Moosepath League, written in 2000, but set in Portland, ME in Fall/Winter1896. I really like the evocative cover. It uses the Pickwick Papers as scaffold. His delightful debut novel was Cornelia Underhill, set Summer 1896 and introduces The Moosrpath League.

[@eileennielsen5165]

Winter Solstice is not only my favorite winter reads; but also one of my ALL TIME favorites

[@bookworm8792]

Lovely Bones is staggeringly beautiful and made me sob. I'm a woman whose been through some things and I rarely cry. That book broke me. And I still recommend it 20 years later.

[@Eldertalk]

You are an inspiration! Thanks for the reading suggestions. I've been wanting to read Jamaica Inn.

[@adrienne4028]

I absolutely love watching your videos and hope you get 10,000 subscribers by the end of the year. Here in South Florida, the temperature dropped to 55F (13C) this morning and that’s cold for Floridians! 😂 it will only last a few days, so I decided to decorate for Christmas. Thanks for the winter reading suggestions. The R. Pilcher novel sounds interesting and my library has it. Lucky me! Happy reading. 😊

[@amyofhearthridge]

Interesting sounding reads. I’ve only read Winter Solstice! I enjoy hearing your thoughts. ♥️

[@booklassygarrahan3929]

I have read Winter Solstice so many times. One of my top favorite comfort reads. Have you read Drumveyn by Alexandra Raife? I remember her writing style is similar to Pilcher, and I loved this book in particular.

[@EdwardClinton]

Thank you for this informative video. I read the Nine Tailors a few years ago. A great book.

[@angrypanda5042]

I have only read a couple of the books on this list but do look forward to discovering more interesting authors. Thank you.

[@Ann-lg3su]

Lovely. Just found you and subscribed Love your content

[@brendawomack5380]

I love Rosamund Pilchers book, especially Winter Soltice. I probably read it every winter along with The Harvester by Gene Stratton Porter. The last is a very romantic book and is from the early 1900's.

[@milisuarez-al-nashy4314]

You are so lucky, the snow didn’t stick here in Cardiff. 😊 Love listening to you. 🤗❄️

[@latebloomerdiaries4219]

Thank you for the recommendations! I'm sitting here trying to think of any favorite books that take place in winter and I am finding I can't. Hmm. I almost bought Winter Solstice as a Christmas gift for my great-aunt, but I ended up picking a Christmas mystery instead. That one may end up on my own TBR because you're not the first person I've seen to recommend it. Happy reading!

[@lisanelson3415]

Thankyou so much for this book review .s really enjoyed them cant wait to read winter solice its on ky tbr list as is bird song!! I also really enjoyed winter ghost when i read it ❤

[@stuartreynolds4915]

Thank you for your videos! I really enjoy your views on all books, not just those recently published. I too was disappointed with A Week In December; I find Sebastian Faulks rather hit and miss. That said Human Traces has stayed with me even more than Birdsong , I highly recommend it! Lynn

[@carolyncampbell6149]

Thankyou very much for this list for winter reading some of which I’ve read (one I re-read every year and one of which I read years ago!) but others new to me. I think we have quite similar taste in books which is lovely. Take care and keep warm!

[@yesimthatlisa]

Yes, love your videos ever since KZbin recommended your channel to me! You've mentioned Winston Graham in a few other videos and I kept thinking "I've read something by him but what?" and it's the book Marnie (also a movie with Tippi Hedren and Sean Connery). It's quite an interesting story. Your pup Tilly is truly adorable! 💗💓💞

[@cassandra3399]

Hi Rosamunde, I enjoyed it so much as usual. And Tilly is her usual happy self. We had a surprise snowfall yesterday too. We were so surprised and it looked so pretty all day, but this afternoon it is changing into ☔️ rain. Your list sounds so good. I read Winter Solstice for the first time last year and it was my favorite of Rosamunde Pilcher’s books. It wags so cozy and I loved every minute of that read. 😊 Right now I am reading Her Fearful Symmetry, about Highgate Cemetary. I’m not too far into it yet, and it may be a bit strange but I will still enjoy the parts about the cemetery. Thank you.😊 Love to Tilly. ❤

[@suzboeh633]

You are over 9k subs now. Just subscirbed and hope you reach your goal. I had the same view yesterday in Ohio in the US. Winter made itself known in style!

[@katieb2931]

I read Winter Solstice last Christmas and really enjoyed it.

[@gailpost173]

An absolute delight as always and seeing the lovely Tilly is just perfect ❤❤

[@sirenstitchworks7734]

Hi Rosamunde, thank you for your excellent recommendations! On the theme of winter reading, there's a wonderful Lord Peter Wimsey short story called "The Necklace of Pearls" that takes place at Christmas. You've inspired me to track down my copy of "The Nine Tailors"...can't wait to make a cup of tea and dive in.

[@Ann-lg3su]

Ahhh doggy is so cute. Tilly

[@karenspence3434]

I've only found you in your historical book top 10 I think it was. I have been catching up with some other vlogs you've done.. I love them thank you.

[@lkkubono]

I enjoy your videos so much. I feel like I'm in a book club with an genial and intelligent leader. I have read some of your recommendations, some are not for me, some have been new favorites.

[@amandacater2534]

Love your videos, Rosamunde, and have just read your book Out of Time which I thoroughly enjoyed. You appear to be on 9k subscribers already so well set for your New Year’s target. Right, I need to catch up on these winter novels, thanks for your excellent recommendations.

[@sharonrose5134]

Tilly is s gorgeous little furbaby😊 love your channel.

[@zandrarose9195]

As a new subscriber I have spent some time watching your videos from the past year and I am surprised at how many books in your reviews and TBRs I’ve actually read. Daphne du Maurier is one of my favourite authors

[@Avefenix1956]

I love your videos

[@knitty781]

Great list of books. Have you read A Winter's Tale by Mark Helping? I enjoyed the movie but haven't seen it mentioned often. Thanks for sharing your darling girl!! Gotta love the fur babies!😊

[@laurac56]

The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey. To the Bright Edge of the World was great too, but I can’t remember the season it’s set in.

[@constancecampbell4610]

Jamaica Inn seriously creeped out my teenage self. Still remember how it made me feel. 👍

[@C.Aikman-yj7fq]

Thanks, Rosamunde. 💐 Carol

[@duffystavern894]

So happy you popped up in my KZbin feed! I just purchased Winter Soltice a few weeks ago but haven’t started yet, can’t wait to read it. Now I need to get The Nine Tailors! By the way, Mystery in White by J. Jefferson Farjeon is a good Christmas crime story, that has a blizzard, a train, and a creepy house . Have you read it?

[@HSOffice-op4cp]

So enjoy all your recommendations

[@nafisamusah7085]

Yes the winterlist is here🥰🥰.

[@shelleysykes5317]

I read Winter Solstice years ago and often think about rereading it. I always remember the fairy lights, isn't that an odd thing to remember?

[@Anna-hi5mp]

Just checked out Winter Ghosts!

[@paulinenelson7109]

Good to see you've reach 9k. x

[@victoriamacgregor5466]

Hello Tilly ❤

[@WildHeartsandWildflowers]

Another great video full of interesting books! ❤ I've read a few of them, but you've motivated me to re-read Pilcher's 'Winter Solstice' this winter season. I also just picked up one of *your* books, Rosamunde - 'Out of Time' - a family history mystery with maybe some time travel. (I'm hoping!) It sounds perfect for winter, too. 😊 ~ Kim
