This book gets infinity +1 stars! I loved everything the plot, world building, characters. I can‘t believe I waited this long to read a Brandon Sanderson book. There so many moments that are going to live rent free in my head. So, excited to continue this journey ❤️❤️❤️

Enjoying this so far 📚 My first Sanderson book ❤️

I gifted the first 2 books in The Stormlight Archive to my friend and fellow book lover since the final book in the first era of this series comes out in December. It‘s fun to reread the books with someone enjoying them for the first time 😊

When it was announced that the fifth book in The Stormlight Archive was being published this December, I decided I wanted to try and reread the first four books before then! Well, even though I meant to start this project in January, I'm actually beginning today! I hope I will be able to do it! 🤭📚

What books have changed your perspective on a genre? I've never been a big fantasy reader until my husband challenged me to read Brandon Sanderson. I'm over 500 pages into this tome, and I've already ordered book two. This is such a rich book with its descriptions of a made up religion, political framework, and some of the best characters I've ever read. And I've heard it doesn't even really pick up until page 700.

Lucas bet me I wouldn't read this whole book, so you know what that means...
I know that it's recommended to start with Mistborn, but I don't have it and my library has a waiting list on holds. I've literally never read an epic high fantasy (closest I've come is LotR), so this is an interesting challenge.
I've seen that I just need to trust the author that it will all come together because the start is purposely obtuse since I'm starting here.

I did it - made it through 45.5 hours! Only took me six weeks! And after all that time I‘m invested! The characters and the story line are very engaging. I found myself pausing whatever activity I was doing so I could just listen and laugh or cry with the character‘s triumphs and disappointments. Definitely going to continue the series, though I may wait a bit before such another huge audiobook undertaking!

I did a thing I had no business doing hehehe 🫣🤭

It‘s spring and the urge to spring clean has hit. Plus, it doesn‘t help that my tbr has reached the overwhelming stage. So I‘ve been doing a little unhauling. Here‘s a few of the books I‘m moving off my shelf to make room for new things.

What about you? When do you unhaul books?

So many authors to choose from. For fantasy books Sanderson is my favorite but also close seconds are Tolkien and Rothfuss. Also, Blake Crough, JD Kirk, Jeffery Archer just no name a few.

Omg..this was such a delicious book to devour..my favorites are so far Kaladin and Dalinar...
Will continue to the second one once I've read a couple smaller ones to give my wrists a break.

Finally halfway..yep taking me along time..but so good

Onto part two..and I am enjoying it to the point where I just want to soak it all in

My new books to read...I think I will have to stop Penny Vincenzi book and get into THE WAY OF KINGS, heard it's good..

Reading The Way of Kings has been a journey. It didn‘t help that I was studying to get my insurance license at the same time. But now that I‘ve passed my test I‘m ready to throw my full attention back to this beast.

The stormight archive is my current favourite series. Well worth the time (and if you're like me effort) Sanderson develops an incredible story

Reread complete. While I really liked this book the first time I read it, I liked it even more this time. Too often writers of epic fantasy fall so in love with their own worlds they lose track of the fact they are telling a story, that things NEED to happen, characters need to develop & that as interesting as, say, eating customs might be, I don‘t want the details. Sanderson never loses sight of the fact he is telling a story. It‘s a great one!

Love this.

My #December favorite for #12Booksin2021

This legendary fantasy completely lives up to the hype. Can‘t wait to continue it this year, along with my new appreciation for Sanderson.

Finishing 2021 with a reread—I felt the urge to dive into a really big book and the 1200+ pages in the book said “Me! Read me!” I enjoyed it the first time I read it and a third of the way in, I‘m enjoying it just as much the second time. Love this world and am excited to work my way through the series.
