Spiritwalker51 Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Hi, I signed up about 4 days ago and have been looking around trying to figure things out a bit. I joined the tor website about a month ago to start reading the Oathbringer chapters, because, well I have waiting a year to read it! A little about me. I have been an avid reader for around 55 years now. I started out reading Nancy Drew mysteries when I was around 10 or 11, then got interested in Sherlock Holmes mysteries. I started reading Science Fiction and Fantasy when I was around 15 and those two genre's continues to be my favorite, but I read many different types of books and styles of writing. I also read simply to learn and do a lot of researching of things that are of interest to me. I am never bored. I got interested in Brandon's work about a year ago; while I was at Audible, looking for audiobooks by one of my favorite voice actresses. She did the voice over for Warbreaker and once I had listened to it, I knew I had to hear more of Brandon 's work. So I got The Way of Kings, and Words of Radiance. Well I had to have something to listen to while I waited for Oathbringer, right? Then I got Elantris: Tenth Anniversary Special Edition, then Arcanum Unbounded: The Cosmere Collection. I have them all in audiobook format but have decided to get them in book format since it is really harder to pinpoint chapter and verse by using audiobooks. I was read to as a child so I really get into the narrating thing, and I also love to read aloud to others as well, so audiobooks are fun. I have listened to TWoK and WoR around 4 or 5 times now since last year and I figure I have just enough time to listen to them again before Oathbringer is out in November. These are such epic stories and I love them. Once I figure out the finer details you will see me posting here and there around the site. I have lots of questions and thoughts about the story line and little hints that are dropped in the books. I also am haunting the stormlight archive wikia because there is so much really good referenced information there as well. See you in the forums! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainRyan Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Welcome to the 17th Shard! I am sad to say I am out of up votes but, in lieu of said payment, might I share something wonderful? If you are a fan of audiobooks, and it certainly reads like you are, then may I recommend you give Graphic Audio a try? They are a company that produces the more incredibly engaging audiobooks I have ever heard. Each character is voiced by a unique actor, they add music, sound effects, and other audio elements that truly bring a story to life. I will say, they are a bit pricey but I absolutely believe my purchase of both books in the Stormlight Archive was totally worth it! Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with Graphic Audio is any way and will not receive any compensation should you choose to purchase their products. I just friggin love them! Anywho, welcome! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks CaptainRyan. I didn't know you could run out of up votes. I read a bunch but must have missed that. Appreciate the info on Graphic Audio. Will check them out, although I am quite happy with the voice actors who do the Stormlight Archive books I have thus far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
