Trying to get the correct chronological order of all the books.

i never got mine in chronological order. think my first buffy book was prime evil. And i just got them whenever i saw them. if your trying to find them, i find the best place is charity shops, as the money is always going to go to a good cause! or try the net or like carboots, your library thats getting rid of stock, and then youve got your bookshops. i must have only paid full price for about 10 of them, and my collection is stll growing, i mustve got way past 100 and that includes graphic novels aswell. its upto you what you do, but i thought id give you some help in what i do to try and find them. 🙂

I can help you with a couple of those:

"One Thing Or Your Mother" happens between (14) "Blooded" and (15) "Sins Of The Father".

"Portal Through Time" happens between (10) "Bad Bargain" and (11) "After Image"

I'm reading the books in chronological orders too. Right now, the first original novel I have read so far is "Halloween Rain". Continuity-wise, it takes places between the Season One episodes "The Pack" and "Angel". However, it's pretty much impossible for the novel to have taken place since it's so early in the school year and Buffy's already through a whole half season by that time.

Yikes. I cannot even get the comics right, this is a little too much for me.....

Thanks to everyone that contributed to this since I now know what order to read them in. However im skipping The Harvest because ive seen it quite a few times.

Also, "Spike and Dru: Pretty Maids in a Row" and "Blackout" both come before any of the Season 1 novels.

Yikes. There's a LOAD of books!
I'd say Go Ask Malice: A Slayer's Diary comes before the s3 books, as it gives insight into Faith's background.
