What order did you read the series?

[Wiccangixie]

I borrowed the first book from the library about 4 years ago, and read them in order eer since. I've been in love with the series since I was 11

[Zirsta]

I read them all straight through in order of publication when I was 10.

Then I read them again.

And again.

[dlouisville]

I read them in order.

[EricG1793]

I read them in order as well.

I read SYWTBAW a few years ago. A while later I obtained the rest of the series up until AWH, so I re-read SYWTBAW, continued with DW, and went up until AWH. There was a short pause between AWH and AWoM as I waited for AWoM to arrive at a local bookstore.

[Jacq]

I read the first three in the mid-90s sometime
Then I read BONWM a few years later
Then I found Abroad a little after that
And about two years ago I found TVTQ, and a week later went out and bought all the others - I hadn't realized there were a whole slew published later. Hooray!

So I guess I read them in order, but there was a LOT of time (a decade!) in the middle, so those first three (and the fourth, to some extent) have been reread a LOT more.

Order of how I read books

I got the first book from my faveorite teacher and after I read it I got totally hooked! Then I found out that there were more in the series and I waited 4 the time we would go to the next bookstore by reading the first over and over! I never really got intrested in magic stuff til I read DDs books and now I have a teeny library and accompanying file about magic. Well, Ive read the books in this order so far:
SYWTBAW
DW
HW
TWD
AWH
AWA
SYWTBAW
AWA(notice how I can't get 2 a bookstore)

I hate listening 2 the books on cassetes cuz I 4get the whole book so easily then(no offense 2 the peeps who love the casettes!)!

Order of how I read books

This is the order I read mine in:

SYWTBAW
DW
HW
TWD
AWA
WH
WAW(Currently Reading)
AWOM(Yet To Be Read...)
BONWM(Yet To Be Read...)
and
TVTQ(Yet To Be Read...)

I have alot of reading on my hands, and I'm not sure my Library has them all. So I may have to "Inter Library lone" Them.

I read them all in order except HW, which I read directly after SYWTBAW because it was in the library. This actually made reading DW a lot more pleasant because I wasn't worried that Nita would shuffle off the mortal coil (I think it's one of the best gambits of the covers that Nita isn't on (any of?) the HW covers, because it really adds to the suspense. I re-read them depending on which house I'm in since I've been moving around a lot over the last few years (so, for example, I just re-read Holiday and War in sort of that order.)

ETfix HTML or rather remove it. *scurries off to relearn the rules*

Nita's on most of the covers, I think... I know she's on the Magic Carpet one, and the original edition, and the current Harcourt one.

She's not on the Corgi cover (I think its meant to be Kit and Peach flying through space). She's not on the digest cover, either.

When I read the series first, I didn't know that there was another one after Deep Wizardry, and I didn't want to put it down. I found High Wizardry the next day in the library, though (after I had finished) and then had to wait about a month before dad brought home a copy of A Wizard Abroad. At that point, there wasn't anything else, so it dropped off the radar, until I was browsing the library one day and saw Dilemma

I think we need to use BB code, Tui. Welcome back, by the way

[Birdhead]

Hmm, you're right (I have the Corgi cover and the other one I think of immediately is the digest cover). OK, well, now I have a new opinion and it's that I'm glad she's not on the Corgi cover! Cos that would be silly.

Yeah, I finally figured out how to turn on WYSIWYG editing so I can you know take advantage of some of the ridiculous smilies &c. Don't be too quick to welcome me though! I'm probably not actually back - every time I say I am, I get busy again, and I'm also going to England for a month in two weeks so I am insanely busy right now. I just missed you guys for a bit.

[SaxySullivan]

I'm reading them in order. I read the first three in middle school and I reread the first three again not too long ago. I'm moving onto the 5th book.

[Wizardprincess]

i read them in order some of them i got from the library but im going to buy a wizard or mars when it comes out or get it for my b day!

[dorotheia]

I read them in order, although I think I got impatient and mixed up AWAl with the TWD or WH. That was a couple of years ago, so I can't quite remember. Next read-through I got the order right, though!
Recently I read the series backwards, on purpose; it was kind of a whim, sort of a celebration of AWOM getting published (eventually). I actually think the timing (the ages of the characters, time between books, etc.) is a lot clearer that way than reading it frontwards. Also it was interesting to observe DD's growth as a writer and how the general atmosphere of the books changes from a backwards point of view. I'd recommend reading it that way the next time you want to read the whole series, for a change from the normal strategy. (Can't read them randomly: that just spoils the continuity.)

[Cinnamon Wind]

I read them in order, except I skipped AWAl and WH because I didn't have them on audio to begin with. Reading WAW was really confusing... =)

[Deus Ira]

Ive read them all in order. I just had a long lapse between 1 and 2, and it took me a while to read 6. Im currently rereading them all and im on 5. I also read the first feline book but got halfway through the 2nd and got bored.
