To ask for your help? Serious Chalet School book addiction (lighthearted)

[faithinthesound]

Against the many dire and serious warnings, I have become addicted to the Chalet School books. Trouble is, I am a student with next to no means, and have only managed to find the first five books online for free. Five! And there are, I'm told, more than FIFTY more!

I heard tell that someone, somewhere, had posted a link to somewhere where they could be downloaded as ebooks. Is there anyone who can point me in the right direction? I wouldn't ask, but I genuinely have zero budget for entertainment right now (I don't have much of a budget for food, if I'm honest!) and I am already so involved in these books!

MNHQ if you really object to this being in AIBU, I would understand it being moved. I really just posted for the traffic.

I think this is a library for them? ww2.newchaletclub.co.uk/lending-library/

Love those books too, btw!

Whereabouts are you based? I've got about a dozen paperbacks (tatty I'll admit - I bought them second-hand) waiting to go to the charity shop because I'm replacing my whole CS collection with brand-new pristine copies (I have a thing about nice new books!) so as I get the new ones I get rid of the old ones....

In the children's book section there is a chalet school thread and some of the clever ladies on there know about where to find online copies..

Www.the-cbb.co.uk is the best place to go. Oh and there are not just fifty odd - there are loads off fill ins too :). I am a total addict and have them all.

ooh can you actually get the early books as e-books? SOOOO excited!

IIRC, a few years ago there were loads of MNers who were Chalet School fans - in fact I think they had a number of Chalet School cliquey threads too?!!

Someone on this thread will help!!!

Both 'friends of the chalet school' and 'the new chalet club' are chalet fan clubs with lending libraries of all the book.

You can pick many of the paperbacks up for peanuts on ebay. Some are rare and very expensive.

There is a Facebook sales and wants group.

Join the-cbb.co.uk for chalet discussion, fun and banter.

It's not an addiction, it is a positive lifestyle choice.
