Rosewood Readathon Day 8!!

Chapter 21

- Lottie getting the Portman job is supposed to be a scene that’s so exciting for her but it just kills me to think of Jamie wishing he could save Lottie from it

- And of course Lottie taking it as Jamie not thinking she’s good enough. He’s trying to protect you!!!

- Portmans are this big royal secret but making Lottie a Portman is basically giving up that secret forever because they all know she’s going to eventually have to be revealed as a Portman ??? Did that make sense

Chapter 22

- Can Lottie not get access to melatonin or something??

- Princess lessons!! Anyone else remember that rwch animatic of the Barbie song about being a princess? Did I hallucinate that?

- Raphael being Jamie’s first friend outside the castle is so important to me

Chapter 23

- I would do anything to go to the Rosewood library are you kidding me.

- Lottie immediately being jealous of Ellie getting along with Saskia, this girl is in love

- I feel like they make the not sleeping thing into a bigger deal than it is??? Lottie could’ve easily gotten some sleeping pills or something weeks ago and fixed it. Insomnia is common especially in students but to Ellie and Jamie this is the end of the world

Sorry I’m a day late! I’ll get today’s posted as soon as it’s done

In honour of the Rosewood Chronicles fandom being so back

[lottiepumpkinofficial]

i am a little overwhelmed with how much love and joy has been put into the world from the readathon so far and since we’re at the end of book 1 i have a little message in case you didn’t see on instagram

December 31st 2018. That was the day I first started reading Undercover Princess. 2018 was a really terrible year for me and I was genuinely surprised to have made it to the end. I had been recommended the book by someone who said I reminded them of Lottie, and I decided to read it on New Year’s eve. My friend stayed over that night and we stayed up late, but I had to finish the book, I had to know what happened. So at 3am 1st January 2019 I continued reading until about 5am, completely enthralled, until I finished. I definitely related to Lottie, in a very deep way.

My life has changed so much since then, I’m a happier person, and while new year’s eve is still not my favourite time of year, it’s no longer perplexing to me. I want to thank Connie, and everyone who’s been reading along for reminding me how much things have changed, and how being kind, brave and unstoppable has proved itself to be a highly effective mantra.

I love you all, and I want you to take this moment to think about how you’ve changed since you first began to read Undercover Princess (even if that was only a couple of weeks ago) and think about how you’ve been kind, brave and unstoppable. 💜❤️💛

RWCH Readathon 2024:

Undercover Princess - Prologue

This is genuinely to this day, my favourite introduction to a series, to characters, to anything I've read. It captures the entire essence of the series in just 6 pages.

The opening paragraph alone captures how intensely this whimsy and wonder can impact a person or a space

Reading it at 14 years old, I decided right then that I was going to be one of those people who can make anyone believe in themselves and have the power to change and achieve anythign and everything

The cut to then Eleanor being the complete opposite, "in desperate need of both" is such a beautiful and simple way to bring the reader back to reality and introduce Ellie to us.

Shes passionate and determined and stubborn, but we also see how scared and desperate she is to have control in her own life without the pressure of her duty, something that is echoed everywhere in the series.

The lines surrounding Aston Court, reading with knowledge of what is to come has an air of heartbreak and despair that she would have to give up everything about who she is.

I adore the detail that she is only refered to as Eleanor thriughout this prologue, despite her mum calling Alexander 'Alex', Eleanor isn't given the same comfprt in a nickname, it's like she's always playing a role here.

The build up of how Alexander expects her to act, and how Eleanor would go kicking and screaming juxtaposed with 'Please Dad' not only affects her parents, but the reader too.

We become to familiar with her reputation as a wild child in the first few pages that already we have the same assumptions as we see later that the media has, only we get let into her vulnerability here.

I adore how much of this chapter is subtle foreshadowing, or a little wink nudge nudge to those of us who have already read the series, even this early on. But I won't lay it all out here right now.

The chapter ending in "we can always send in Jamie" always makes me laugh because yeah I guess but why didn't he just go anyway? I get not giving her freedom but surely thats easier to explain?

In summary, this prologue is genuinely one of my favourite parts to the book and I can't wait to read everyone else's thoughts throughout the readathon.

Rosewood Readathon Day 5!

Fixing your math grade is like entering a different reality. I have weeks of my life from like january to april 2022 blocked out because i just spent all my time doing maths. (ended up with a H2 though so hehehe go me). So I feel you Lottie

Bimdas anyone?

I remember being 12 and thinking this math equation was the most confusing thing in the world. Now though I feel like I could solve it if I put my mind to it. Or else I'm just gonna give it to my friend who's doing a maths degree and see will it knock his ego down a few pegs

I don't think I've mentioned this before but I love how Lottie is a huge fan of fairytales. She is like me frfr (except I'm a huge fan of Irish/Celtic mythology)

Break in time!!! What a fun little scene. However, it says they got completely soaked going through the river so how did they not get caught in the morning assuming they left a trail of water after them?

Also what a bunch of nerds going to the library on the orientation day. Never forget we are reading about pretigious, rich nepo baby nerds everyone. (I still love them all with my entire heart)

Welcome back :)

[can-i-explode-now]

There is a criminally small amount of rosewood chronicles fics on ao3.

especially for someone who hasn't read all the books and doesn't like Jamie/Lottie

day 19

chap’s 4,5,6

hello hello i’m tired today, before you read i wanna quickly warn that i’ll be mentioning diet culture and fatphobia in this post, you’re welcome to skip this post or scroll past that bit (second comment) if you don’t want to read that - the green text is the end of that bit

“her crescent moon tiara reflecting rainbow light across her face.” we’ve established that lottie is the sun and ellie is the moon, im gonna let you all make of that what you will

“her belly and face had got rounder, her hair longer and fluffier.” okay, i don’t think ive ever said this before, but this little sentence means so much to me. tw- diet culture, fatphobia. so if you haven’t figured out yet, i really relate to lottie, and as a person in a bigger body it made me cry reading this for the first time. often all protagonists are assumed to be thin, especially if they’re meant to be beautiful, and any reference to gaining weight is a bad thing- but for lottie it does not make her even slightly less beautiful or kind or brave or unstoppable. in fact it signifies her literal character growth (thanks jamie im always gonna think about you while mentioning it) and how she’s had a fun summer (despite everything) and that she’s beginning to feel happiness again. anyway that’s my little speech over

“glowing green eyes” hint

the self sacrifice jamie is forced into and forced himself into kills me. don’t go there, don’t ever give up your life for someone else

home. what an interesting concept

i remember reading pip for the first time, learning small tidbits about lottie’s family and trying to piece it together. lottie was too. this poor girl has been through so much

painting foreshadowing

“her two royal friends” oh connie, you really hid it right under our noses

ollie trying to get jamie to laugh and failing probably makes him so uncomfortable, he’s already literally said humour is his coping mechanism so imagine your best friend comes to see you for the first time in a year after basically ignoring you so you try to crack a joke so the scary serious guy she’s with lightens up, and he just looks at you. tell me you wouldn’t immediately feel like sinking into the ground

ooh big news ooh big hints oooh shits getting really real

okay i’m clearly feeling sentimental today
