Chronological order is best imo! Magician's nephew is my favorite!

37 minutes?? you’re spoiling us fr

lmao I loved the royalty free music xD

Your reaction to the map is so relatable 😂

"I'm obsessed with him {Puddleglum}!" Never have I related to a sentence more

So happy for you that you got to read the dedication to Lucy in the place it was intended - I've seen it floating around the internet countless times, so it's wild to me that you got to experience it like that 😭 I've been to Oxford and not only is it absolutely beautiful, there's also an alley that apparently CS Lewis and his friend Tolkien used to walk own on their way home from the pub or something and there you can find the actual lamppost that supposedly inspired Lewis to write the scene in which Lucy enters Narnia for the first time. And across from the lamppost there's a door with a knocker shaped like a faun aka Mr Tumnus 😊

You deep diving and LOVING Narnia is so dang good. I had these read to me as a kid so I have a tenderness for them and seeing your emotion made me reconnect vicariously through you!

21:52 HE IS SO PRECIOUS I CANT 💀😍

AHHH you’re literally the reason I read the first book last week!!!! I’ve decided to do chronological too and literally WHY have I never read these before they’re SO good 😭😭😭

I love this corner of the internet. Can’t wait to see what your read next!

Love to come to youtube on my lunch break and see a Whitney vlog. This was fun!

Love this! Love the commentary, love the escapism, love the joy! Enjoying childhood books when revisiting is such a special kind of nostalgia, love that for you, girl 🙌😍🏹

You HAVE to watch the caspian movie. I was obsessed with it as a kid. A lot of it is preparing narnia and going to war, and it's so epic.

I read a book that was clearly inspired by Narnia but was about the experience of returning to your world after living an entire life in a magical world, called The Light Between Worlds by Laura E. Weymouth. Would recommend if that sounds interesting to you; I really enjoyed it. 👍🏻

I have been WAITING for someone i watch to read this series so glad it was you!!!!😍

I thought i was the only marathoning through the series, glad to see!!!!!

We love a boxed set! I got the set of little house on the prairie from the scholastic book fair and I think that’s why I love series now.

i feel so safe here 😩😌

Ahh droped everything to watch this!

If you're in the mood for fantasy I really recommend reading Robin Hobbs books. I think you will enjoy her world. Another great series is the Wayward Children (it's a series of novellas) by Seanan McGuire. It's set in a boarding school for children who have been to other worlds and now have returned to the real world.

I’ve never read it either but I LOVED the movies growing up too…I have the boxset just sitting on my shelf though

I agreed with you about all of the books! I read The Last Battle mostly out of completionism

This was really fun ❤ I enjoyed this series a lot when I read it a couple of years ago

I never stop thinking about Narniaaaaa 😢😅 can't wait for the new Netflix movie series they're gonna be so good. I made a song last month literally called A Song For Susan Of Narnia because my Roman Empire is that he was gonna write a novel about Susan but he died before he could. 😢

im gonna have to watch the movie again now. never finished watching it last time (march 16 2020) because my d+ sub ended so literally have not enjoyed narnia since before covid times.

I just saw an article that Netflix has the rights to make Narnia reboot movies and Greta Gerwig has signed on to write and direct the first two movies.

we love to see it

prince caspian was my favourite movie for a while, but ive never watched boat movie properly

Narnia is so good. I rewatched the LWW movie on repeat as a kid. I also read the books in the same order as you! Now I wanna reread them all 😅

37 minute vlog hell yeah

0:17 my face when i heard an olivia soundbite 👁️👄👁️ hey girly !!!!

I love your reading vlog ❤.

Greatvlog i love Narnia the movie. I have the book as well not the whole series. 📚🥤

I keep thinking about whether I will reread this series! It’s been a long time. My childhood copy has all the books in one!

Georgie Henley has a poetry pamphlet out with Fourteen Poems ☺️ It's called Amphibian ❤️

Omg i love the first book!! It was the only one i read :( but i want to read the rest and your video came in perfect time!!! (But first i need to finish interview with the vampire because I'm obsessed. Really recommend you watch the TV show!!!)

16:26 that's literally plot of Seanan McGuire's books 😅

I’m interested in reading the LWW book but probably not the whole series! I always think of “The Wayward Children” series by Sheanan McGuire when I think of Narnia (kids going through doors) and I’ve always been interested in reading that series as well

I prefer publishing order BUT having read them both ways I think chronological is more first time friendly lol anyways I'm gonna watch the rest of the vlog!! I have such mixed feels on this series so I'm excited to see what you say 👀

i remember reading prince caspian in 2015 and hating it, then i was forced to study narnia through a catholic lense when i was forced to take a religion subject in year 11 lol

Come to Oxford!

For the sake of it making sense, chronological for sure. Kinda wish id kept my copies to actually read them all 😅 my nephew ended uo with them.

The way this video is making me want to drop everything and re-read the Narnia books rn... Also if you're still in a C.S. Lewis mood, I recently found out that Katherine Langrish wrote an analysis of the series and reflections on reading the books as a child versus an adult (it's called "From Spare Oom to War Drobe: Travels in Narnia with My Nine-Year-Old Self") -- I haven't read it yet but am curious to!

I love your vlogs!

I'm sorry, but during your wrap-up, I was wondering what those light thingies behind you were... IT took me a moment, but that is gloriously creepy and hilarious. 😂

The last battle is my favorite book in the whole series! Cried like a baby at the end. The first movie is so so so good. They all go downhill from there lol

I miss being a kid too Whitney 😢

love feeling like i'm just chilling on ft with you.

love it!

The Narnia music thoooo

i give edmund a pass for the movie turkish delight, that boy had a mad craving for a specific sweet treat during wartime

Netflix is doing a movie series based on the books

Whitney I love you you are so fucking funny

The bit where you talk about how the first books seems familiar but you are not sure you read it- I have that with literally every Narnia book except for the lion, the with and the wardrobe. Like I swear to God I have read them all in middle school and yet I always read the description of one of them thinking 'hmm somehow I think I skipped this one?' And then I read it and I'm still not sure...but like it happens every couple of years. For sure by now I must have read them all, right? Edit: now im at the prince caspian part, i guess these books are just not super memorable xD

✨Original Sin✨

Watch the BBC versions of these books. They’re all on KZfaq and so much better than the Disney movies. There’s LWW, prince caspian, VDT, and Silver chair.

I went to a christian school, and these books were apart of our syllabus, so each year we read a book- except we only got up to Dawn Treader. BUT I was one of four, and BC i was third born I HAD to be Edmund and i was sooooo mad about it.

I didn’t even know there were two different ways to read narnia 😭

All i remeber about reading those books as an older child with some religious trauma was the moment i went "wait a minute, is this about god? 🤨🤨🤨🤨"

❤❤❤

Also if you're in a fantasy moment The Magician's Trilogy by Lev Grossman follows a bunch of depressed asshole wizards at a kind of magical graduate school in upstate New York who are obsessed with a book series called Fillory, inspired by Narnia, and they find out its real and go there. They're some of the best fantasy novels ever written imo. The second and third books are more high fantasy while the first book has more urban fantasy vibes. They were made into a fantastic tv show as well. 😮
