@Jamie what order is that. I have found a few different lists online.

[Jamie]

1. The Magicians Nephew
2. The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe
3. The Horse and His Boy
4. Prince Caspian
5. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
6. The Silver Chair
7. The Last Battle

It is the chronological order he thought is better to read, but admits it is not crucial, as it is not the order he wrote it.

[Jamie]

Or you can read in publication order:
1. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (1950)
2. Prince Caspian(1951)
3. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (1952)
4. The Silver Chair (1953)
5. The Horse and His Boy (1954)
6. The Magicians Nephew(1955)
7. The Last Battle (1956)

[Jamie]

Either way works :) As long as you can put the time-table together and tie in the characters it all works out :)

[Sharon]

Starting Prince Caspian right now! :)

Thanks Jamie.

Prince Caspian Chapter 2: (view spoiler)[ I loved the film adaptation of this book! I think the books are fast-paced, which makes it more intriguing and engaging to read. I love that we get to see the Pevensie siblings again! (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Prince Caspian Chapter 7: (view spoiler)[ I think Prince Caspian is an interesting character. I am loving this read. Can't wait for Aslan to arrive in Narnia!! (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Prince Caspian Chapter 10: (view spoiler)[ Aslan! He's back!! My favourite character of all time has returned!!! I love him. I love that he represents the good side of the battle against good and evil! (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Prince Caspian Ending Thoughts: (view spoiler)[ I loved this book! Also, I am sad that this is the last book for Peter and Susan. I do love the last quote: "I've left my new torch in Narnia." (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Starting The Voyage of the Dawn Treader now! :)

(view spoiler)[ I agree with completely. I found this chapter to be really funny. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Chapter 5: (view spoiler)[ I like Eustace. I like the fact this book features dragons! (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Chapter 10: (view spoiler)[ I miss Peter and Susan so much! I am loving this read, but it doesn't feel the same anymore. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Ending Thoughts: (view spoiler)[ I love the Pevensie siblings, and I was when Lucy and Edmund are told that they are not able to come back to Narnia because they are getting older. I am heartbroken! It will not be the same without the Pevensie siblings. (hide spoiler)]

[Drishti]

I've started reading Prince Caspian.

Same here! I loved the movie, too. Though some of my friends didn't think it was that good. :-/

[Drishti]

Sharon wrote: "Prince Caspian Chapter 7: [spoilers removed]"

When I first saw the movie I was so impatient to (view spoiler)[see Aslan again. (hide spoiler)] But now, that I know when that's going to happen the impatience is a bit in control.

[Drishti]

I've finished Prince Caspian.
(view spoiler)[ I felt my heart break into pieces when I heard that Peter and Susan would never come back to Narnia. And again, I'm surprised at how much I loved this children's book. (hide spoiler)]

[Drishti]

Connie wrote: "Chapyer 10 of PC [spoilers removed]"

I felt that, too. The DLF was so grumpy in the movie.

[Drishti]

Starting the Voyage of the Dawn Treader! =)

Connie wrote: "VOTDT chapter 5: [spoilers removed]"

Sadly, I don't have the same outlook on dragons. They frighten me!

[Drishti]

[spoilers removed]"

Same here! I found the chapter funny, too.

[Sharon]

The Silver Chair Chapter 1: (view spoiler)[ I am getting used to Eustace as the main character now, but at least he has his friend, Jill, joining him on the adventure. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

The Silver Chair Chapter 5: (view spoiler)[ I love the Chapter Titles! They are certainly unique including Puddlegum! I love the Christian values that books have. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

The Silver Chair Chapter 11: (view spoiler)[ I like Eustace and Jill. However, I miss the Pevensie siblings. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

The Silver Chair Ending Thoughts: (view spoiler)[ I thought this was an amazing book. However, it did not feel the same without the Pevensie siblings in it. Overall, 4.4/5 (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

TMN Done (view spoiler)[And the apple tree explaination is why I love to start with this book! (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Starting The Last Battle right now! :)

[Sharon]

The Last Battle Chapter 3: (view spoiler)[ OMG!!! This one is in Narnia instead of Earth. That will be definitely interesting and a nice change of pace. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

The Last Battle Chapter 5: (view spoiler)[ I do not want this book series to end, but that's wishful thinking. So, I hope that it has a nice ending. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Connie wrote: "TLB: [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I was shocked at this point too. I mean, why would you want to leave? (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

The Last Battle Ending Thoughts: (view spoiler)[ This is the best series and I think this was the best book. I love the Christian theme and the themes of courages and belief. I think The Chronicles of Narnia will go down in history as the best children's book series that I will re-read many years to come. (hide spoiler)]

Sharon wrote: "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Chapter 10: [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I'm surprised at how much I didn't miss Peter and Susan. I think the author covered up for that with a really interesting plot. (hide spoiler)]

[Drishti]

I've finished VOTDT. I liked it better than The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian. Sadly, there wasn't much of Aslan. Lucy and Ed never coming back to Narnia is even more heartbreaking than Peter and Susan never coming back to Narnia. Narnia wouldn't be same without the Pevensie siblings.

[Drishti]

Starting The Silver Chair! =)

[Drishti]

I'm on chapter-5 of TSC. (view spoiler)[ I miss the Pevensie siblings so much.

Caspian as an old man...... I'm still in shock. (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

The Lion, witch.... Ch 3 (view spoiler)[So when Edmund first sees the witch, he doesn't like how she looks at him and acts, yet somehow she still will end up enticing him. Weak. (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

The Lion, witch.... Ch 9 (view spoiler)[With only a thrithy minute headstart to get to the queen's castle, it must be close! (hide spoiler)]

[Drishti]

Jamie wrote: "The Lion, witch.... Ch 3 [spoilers removed]"

I agree!

[Drishti]

I'm on chapter-10. (view spoiler)[ I miss the Pevensie siblings too much. And then, there's no Aslan.

Anyway, enough with the ranting. Puddlegum is a bit too optimistic, isn't he? (hide spoiler)]

[Drishti]

I'm on chapter-13. (view spoiler)[ This book is too predictable. Of course! the Giants were planning to eat them. And, of course! that babbling Knight was Prince Rilian.

But, that fire and flood were things I definitely didn't see coming. And the Underworld, too. So, I take back those harsh words I wrote above. But I wonder why the Witch killed the Queen? (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

The Lionm the Witch... Ch 11 (view spoiler)[How lovely springs must look to Narnians right now!. (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

The Lion, The witch... Done! (view spoiler)[How do you just go back to being a kid after living an adult life?! (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

Horse/Boy Ch 1 (view spoiler)[I'd laugh too at comparing riding a donkey to a horse. (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

Horse/Boy Ch 4 (view spoiler)[Interesting case of mistaken identity, but how could so many not recognize the real vs fake Corin. (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

Horse/Boy Ch 5 (view spoiler)[The prince is a little ruffian, causing all those fights! (hide spoiler)]

[Drishti]

Jamie wrote: "The Lion, The witch... Done! [spoilers removed]"

LOL! No idea! =)

[Drishti]

Sharon wrote: "The Silver Chair Ending Thoughts: [spoilers removed]"

I totally agree! It feels like something is amiss without them.
