Old reader, new fan

[Howlin Wolfgang]

hi everyone. I've been reading sci fi and fantasy for years, but have only in the last couple years been introduced to Brandon Sanderson's writing. I've read the 7 Mistborn novels so far and am currently doubling back on Elantris, which by all accounts should have come before. Oh well. No regerts, right?  

Was looking for some info and stumbled on this site. I'm looking forward the conversations on the horizon.

Welcome to the Shard! Don't worry too much about reading order, there's a lot of entry points to the Cosmere now. And even Brandon himself says that Mistborn should usually come before Elantris. 

Would you like a cookie? They're perfectly safe!

Welcome to the Shard. Who is your favourite Shard?

Welcome to the Shard! Beware of cookies!

What's your favorite book so far?

[Howlin Wolfgang]

I was all excited about the cookie. Then I'm warned about the cookie. I am sorely vexed.

My fave book (hard to say, ask me tomorrow and I may answer different) is probably the first Wax & Wayne book. Because I like Wax a lot, and Wayne ever better, and this is where we were introduced.

As a newb here, I have no idea what is referred to by "shard". Wayne is my favorite character so far though.

They have hemalurgic spikes. You can eat it if you want, but you will get spiked.

I beleive it is a Role-Play/Guild thing, but I'm not sure. . .

To be honest, I'm not either.
