BrightnessSamantha Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 No spoilers please! I'm halfway through Skyward myself because I let my 10 year old son read it before me and I think that was a good decision! I'm not even done with it but I think we can all relate to the last line of the the letter! Sorry about the format of the first pic. Couldn't figure out how to rotate it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man moomba Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 *claps* Now I just have to get my sister to stop reading Warriors all the time and read Reckoners. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scion of the Mists Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 @BrightnessSamantha that's amazing! I hope I can get my kids interested in his books when they're older. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ryshadium Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 Good job! Hopefully my future kids will enjoy them as much as I do. My wife hasn't liked them that much so far. Haha. Granted, she's only read Steelheart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightnessSamantha Posted March 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 That's what's great about Brandon Sanderson. It's pretty much for all ages!! I know he'll eventually read the SA, Mistborn and all the rest when he's a little older. He's already shown interest in the Kaladin and Syl books, as he likes to call them, when I'm listening to them on Alexa or in the car. 11 hours ago, Scion of the Mists said: @BrightnessSamantha that's amazing!

It's the greatest molding young minds into miniature nerds with only a few books! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghanderflaffle Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 Nobody listens to my book recommendations, but at the same time, I'm an awkward freshman. So who knows what will happen? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wander89 Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 I have tried, and tried, and tried, and tried, to get my other half to read Sanderson but no. It's demeaning. Not that she dislikes him, she doesn't have the capacity to pick up a book 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just started listening to Reckoners on Audible together. He said it was a good choice to fill the void until Starsight comes out! What's Warriors? I don't think I've heard of that one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like the same thing but with rabbits! They actually just started a series or movie on Netflix about it. Haven't watched it yet though and haven't read the book in a decade at least. All I can picture is the cast of Cats gone feral and turned into Warrior Cats! I'm intrigued... I'll have to add it to my read list on Goodreads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read a little bit of Watership down, but much like Warrior Cats, it couldn't hold my attention for long. Fair warning about Warrior Cats, it's made for grades 3-6, so don't expect too much from it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had loved Watership down when I was younger, I remember, but when I watched the preview on Netflix I was like, wow, this looks bad! Haha. I'm always looking for good books for my 10 year old though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"It's a pretty good book," Wayne said , flipping a page. "You should try it. It's about bunnies. They talk. Damnedest thing ever." Might be completely wrong but it could be a nod to the classic Watership Down book. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
