Happy Tuesday! This ending was so good. I can‘t wait to see where the next book takes us. That being said, how is everyone progressing? I‘m wondering if you would all like to take an extra week to catch up or should I just keep moving forward? I know this was a hard one to get into. I will leave it up to you. I‘ll check back later today to see where everyone stands. #CosmereBuddyRead
And there are the Sanderson twists that suck you all the way in. He still surprises me. I‘m shocked that I fell in love with this story. It really wasn‘t speaking to me in the beginning, but I‘m really glad that I kept going. This week‘s part is very short, but I‘m hoping it will give everyone some extra time to catch up.
#CosmereBuddyRead
pickThis #CosmereBuddyRead one was slow in the beginning but of course like every Sanderson book I eventually cannot put it down! I love these new characters and am excited to be with them for many more books. As usual, I am left with more questions than answers but excited to see where he goes with this and to see more connections to the other characters! Can‘t wait for our discussion!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If you‘re having trouble with this one, just keep going. I‘m all sucked in now. Part 3 is where it all turned around for me. I‘m having trouble putting it down now. I‘m loving both Kal and Shallan‘s storylines.

Sanderson has me again. This one was harder to get into, but now I find myself not wanting to put the book down. #CosmereBuddyRead
It took me all week to get through this part. But I finally feel like a have a grasp on it all. It was a lot for my little brain to hold on to. And I‘m forever grateful that we didn‘t start with this one. I think my biggest question is, what happened that made Dalinar forget his wife so completely?
#CosmereBuddyRead
I found this on Reddit. I guess it‘s not just me. I‘m finding it very helpful going into part 2, because there are even more characters. And it saves me from having to make my own. lol #CosmereBuddyRead
Part one. I had a busy week, but I managed to finish this part last night. I‘m not sure how I feel about it yet. But I could probably use a character index. Though I always tend to have trouble with fantasy names until I‘m about halfway in, so maybe that‘s just me.

I‘m back home, so I finally have my hands on my new books. I ordered these from Blackwells. I love Blackwells. They packed each book individually to protect them in transit. And they all match. That being said, at this size, there is no way I will be able to not crack these spines. lol
#CosmereBuddyRead
My book arrived yesterday. After I left my house to visit my dad for a few days. Just three hours away. 🙄I did manage to get an ebook copy from the library to hold me over. It‘s a big one! I have decided to keep it divided by parts. I know that the last part is very short, but I think leaving it as is will give people time to catch-up. Or to read other things for a bit. But I‘m always open to suggestions.

Goodwill haul for my kids Easter gifts (Barbie‘s and other misc toys) under my new table cloth and $2 next read. 🤩
Was out shopping today and decided to stock up for later on in the #CosmereBuddyRead 😂
(There is no way in heck I could finish these from the library)

pickThis 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 ❤️❤️❤️
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.
pickI 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.
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.

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