The benefit of my recent experience Wink

I'd be really interested for others' input, especially with placing the LRs etc in context (I haven't read these yet), and also on if you agree with where I've put Cookbook. Oh, and also, it's up to date as far as the fillers go Cool

There's also The Lost Staircase, which should be read before Lavender Laughs (I read the transcript recently and quite enjoyed it) and the Chudleigh hold series is apparently Gillian Culver's story, and should be read at about the same time.

If I were doing a strict readthrough, I'd put the La Rochelles between the first and second half of Exile (I tend to think of Exile as two books, with a year's gap in the middle), and I'd move Monica Turns Up Trumps to before (15).

Short Stories: (I don't have them on hand, so this is approximate)

Joey's Convict: after Princess
Woolen Measles: after Exploits
Joey Puts Her Oar In: after Camp
The Smell of Soot: after At War
A New Flavouring for Pies: after Highland Twins
The Midnight That Didn't Come Off: after Rosalie
Joey Goes on Television: after Prefects

I have Hilda Annerseley: Headmistress between Lavender and Gay in my read through list Confused

Wonder where I got that from?

Am only up to New Chalet School in my read-though and am now feeling I should add the La Rochelles and others (which I don't own). Oh dear, SLOC won't be happy....

Afraid both are correct in a way - Hilda Annersley: Headmistress covers the period from before Gay to partway through Rosalie - therefore it can be read at any time during that period - however, to fully appreciate what's happening at the School while Hilda is away it's probably best to read it at the end rather than the beginning.

Yes - Monica definitely needs to come before Goes To It, as Monica and her chums make up most of the new girls at the Chalet that term.

One correction in the short story list: Joey Shoves Her Oar In is set during the summer term of Head Girl, as Grizel is the head girl during the short story.

I don't think the La Rochelles can be read in a block as such - Gerry Goes to School introduces Gerry Challoner who then crops up in Rivals as Grizel's friend from Florence. Might be an intereting exercise to sort out the time line for La Rochelle series so each book can be read at the corresponding time in CS land!

That would be interesting. I've read Gerry, but only Gerry -> she's only twelve or so in it, isn't she? And she's at least eighteen in Rivals. So tentative placing of Gerry before School At (where Grizel is 14)?

#8: Author: Kate, Location: Ireland

Seeing as Gerry was written before School, I think it would fit there pretty well.

Excellent thread this - I've now moved Hilda Annersley: Headmistress to it's rightful place - thanks Lesley and Róisín

Re the La Rochelles - I have these as separate books not as part of the CS series. Partly because I haven't got all of them (and how I wish GGB would hurry up with some reprints of 2, 3 & 4) and partly because it seemed a shame to split them up when they're a series in their own right

#10: Author: Kate, Location: Ireland

Posted: Tue May 02, 2006 12:52 pm

They're rather a fragmented series, I think, so I don't really mind breaking them up. My head is too fuzzy right now for me to explain where I'd put them though!

#11: Author: Róisín, Location: Ireland

I know they're their own series and I'd keep them as that too. But they do tie in to the CS and when you are doing a read-through, it's nice to include them. Saying that, I can't wait to read them! Just completed my own collection of the seven of them this morning and am still squeey about it Laughing

One of the nicest aspects of reading all the La Rochelles *before* reading Exile is that you are then more familiar with the (EBD) geography of Guernsey!

I personally keep my La Rochelles and CS books seperate, but as an exercise, it's fascinating trying to work out where the two series slot together - and see what the Chester/Lucy/Ozanne people are all doing whilst Joey is busily falling in frozen lakes etc!

Thinking about the short stories again, doesn't Woolen Measles feature Matron Besly / daft young Matron (can't remember if she's named in the short story!) and the Middles being at St Clares? If so, it's set during the term of New House, surely?

Although, thinking on, why would our heroine be wearing a vest in the summer term?

Hmmmm. I think I need to go re-read that one!

Does anyone have a rough guide as to how long it might take to do a read-through?

I have been going 4 months and am only up to Gay. I've only read 3 other books in that time too, think it may well take over a year to get to the end Shocked

Mind you I don't get much reading time with 2 small children, so maybe others of you would whizz through them Smile

Normally I find a re-read takes about 3-4 months

Though this is dependant on me not getting overdosed half way through and not looking at one for 6mths.

I did try a re-read with a friend to discuss the books as we read them, but we kept getting impatient when the other was ahead behindand going onto the next book, I dont think we got very far at all Embarassed

I only get to read about 30-45 mins a day mind you, just before bed, so that does hamper me a fair bit.

Gosh Kathye you are an extremely fast reader!

I find if I read CS too fast I miss bits and have to spend ages going back to read a bit I'm sure I have missed - only to discover quite often it is in a different book. I haven't done much reading in bed at all lately as I found a big pile of old crossword puzzle books I wanted to finish. A CS book can take me from a few hours (if it is hot and I sit in the garden and do nothing but read) to a week or so. It also depends how much crafting I have on the go at the same time.

I once decided I would read the whole lot in a year - I think this was when I got the completed the series and wanted to celebrate. I got all the books out and added up all the pages in them and divided that by 365 to give me an average of how many pages I had to read ech day or each week to allow me to do it. Obssessed me? Never!

That sounds like just the sort of thing I would do! When I'm reading a book I'm always calculating what fraction or % of the way through I am and how many days it'll take me at this rate etc.

Would love to know how many pages there are and thus how many pages a day I'd have to do. Although the HB/PB/Transcript mix could make things tricky. Perhaps what we need is someone to count the words and the work out where the 1/365 breaks come and therefore to what point you need to reach each day!
Any volunteers?

It would be confusing what with paperbacks and hardbacks; maybe it would be better to divide up the chapters and find out how many chapters a day/week needed to be read.

Just what I was thinking last night. Yes, it wouldn't be exact, due to cuts, but it would be a lot better to finish at a chapter.

Reckon you'd need to read a book every 6 days to do it in a year, roughly speaking. (60-odd books in 360 odd days - I rounded)

Approximately 10,500 words per day.

Averaging the number of words/book in the transcripts, multiplying by the total number of books and dividing by the number of days in a year.

To defend against geekiness, counting the total number of words in all the transcripts is a one line command in Unix. Actually, I don't think that *does* defend against geekiness.

I'm interested in the current placing of La Rochelle titles along with CS as I've been looking at this myself lately. My current reading order is slightly different, so I've posted it below, along with my reasoning! (The only one I'm still dithering slightly over is Seven Scamps

Based on Gerry Challoner being equal age to Grizel Cochrane, and janie Lucy also being of equal age, La Rochelle books fit into Chalet School series thus:

Gerry Goes to School (Gerry being 11 years old)

School at the Chalet (Grizel being 14 years old)

* Jo of the Chalet School (Begins autumn term and ends Easter term covered in HGD)
* Head Girls Difficulties (Begins autumn term and ends summer term (Gerry=15))
* Maids of La Rochelle (Begins in the November covered in both Jo of and HGD, covers summer holidays after HGD)

One school year gap occurs at this point

Princess of the Chalet School (Grizel=17, Summer term year after Jo of, HGD and MofLaR)

Visitors for the Chalet School
Head Girl of the Chalet School (Grizel 18 )

Seven Scamps

Rivals of the Chalet School (Grizel & Gerry 18 )
Eustacia Goes to the Chalet School
Chalet School and Jo

¬ Chalet Girls in Camp
¬ Heather Leaves School (Janie 19)

Exploits of the Chalet Girls
Chalet School and the Lintons
New House at the Chalet School

Jo Returns to the Chalet |School
New Chalet School

Chalet School in Exile
Janie Steps In (Ends at the mid way point of "Exile")

books marked with * and ¬ indicate books covering the same period of time in different locations.

The last La Rochelle book must be around the same time as Exile, as it says at the end that a new school is opening on the island and Beth will be going to it. That has to be the CS.

I think Janie Steps in was written long before, because the new school for Beth is not named, or any mention of it evacuating from Austria, nor is there any mention of trouble in Europe. I think EBD must have had a 'brain-waggle' when writing Exile - hey let's meet the Guernsey gang again!

'Jaine steps in' was published in 1953, so probably written after the war. I think the story-line with Beth was designed to form the bridge between the La Rochelle books and the CS books. There is a brief refernce to Beth's history in 'At War', so the plot could have been in mind then, but not yet fully developed/written. Beths story is never really developed in terms of her character in the CS books. I was dissapointed when I read the La Rochelle books to see that it wasn't really developed there either.

OK I still need to know:

Where should the last four Chudleigh Hold titles go, based on ages?

Where should the two Lorna books fit in, based on Joey's age in the first and Lorna's age in relation to Joey's in the second?

Is Elizabeth the Gallant tied in somewhere? I thought it was, but I haven't read it and I'm not so sure now.

Thanks a million for any help Very Happy

No, there's no connection to Elizabeth the Gallant. That is linked to the Janeways books, which also have no connection to the CS.

I've put Janie after New CS and before Gillian and India

but I'm useless at dates and matching things up, so it's probably out of sequence Rolling Eyes

The first Lorna book mentions that Joey has the triplets and 'baby' Stephen, so I would guess after Lavender, but before Gay and Stepsisters after Gay
