Can honestly say that I never got round to reading Jilly Cooper because Danielle Steel’s books were my go to back in the day. But delighted to find out that @mscaitlinmoran.bsky.social changed her name because of her love of Jilly’s books. #RIPJILLY 💙
We love Jilly Cooper for her bonkbusters, but she has also left her mark on #humananimalstudies with her book "Animals in War"

I agree very smiley & I loved her books back in the day #RIPJilly
Not Jilly Cooper! Like Pratchett a great, funny and wise world builder. And also like Pratchett, my biggest comfort reread.
The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous can still make me snigger, laugh and cry.

Never read the books, but David Gedge was struck by an interview she gave about her being the 'other woman' in relationship and wrote Dalliance on the back of it

And if the above isn't the opening of the eulogy , then this country is well and truly broken #RIPJilly
Once had a wank in a sleeping bag on the floor of my mates lounge while having a teenage sleep over because I found a Jilly Cooper on their parents bookcase. Formative years. #RIPJilly
