I think that in the cognitive sense, we are all "here". (Or maybe spiritual. I'm not actually sure... XD) As for favorite Sanderson book, it's extremely hard to choose. However, I'm rereading Bands of Mourning rn and have been finding that it has some of my favorite character interactions, but idk if I could say it's my favorite. I will say that I've never found anything he's written that ISN'T in my "favorite things to read" list. 15 minutes ago, More Cynical Than Funny said: Welcome to the Shard!

You are a fellow cultured English speaker, I see. lol My Sanderson Journey started when a friend in college was raving about some series called the Wheel of Time and forced me to read it because "his favorite author ever finished it." He also loaned me the first Alcatraz and Reckoners books. I came home from college ranting about this "new author" I was into, only to discover my whole family was reading Mistborn.

XD Yes that one definitely took a tad longer to spell out than normal An awesome sounding name though I must say! Dang that is a great friend right there, were there any like award ceremonies or million dollar deposits for getting you onto Sanderson? And man, Alcatraz is quite the spot to start as well that is awesome! I always love those books just because of how uniquely hilarious they are. The tone of them and how they are so self aware is just super unique and engaging! That must have been quite the experience to come home to as well lol you all found it just in different ways. Idk they might get demerits here for not getting you onto him sooner... Oh and one last tiddly biddly squadily rodily detail here because corrections make you feel so welcomed Lols no biggie but mods prefer if you don't double post.

It happens quite often on intros cuz posting in multiple like a text makes sense so you don't really think about until someone let's you know. If you get Ninja'd by someone you can also always go back and press Edit on your last post (although when quoting you have to copy it in ) No biggie at all and that is exactly one of the things we are here for! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
