Hello!

[Ookla the Newt she/her]

Hi! I've been lurking for a while but I've finally decided to make an account. 

I'm almost caught up on the Cosmere, just need to read IotE. Which will probably not happen until winter break bc school and a busy summer. (I usually use audiobooks to read during the schoolyear, but they really only work for rereads for some reason)

My favorite series in the cosmere is Mistborn, and my favorite all time series is LotR (semi-contractually obligated to keep this as my favorite series)

My username is because I somehow earned the nickname "Newt" at a camp because I geeked out a bit too much, and figured a good username would be a bookworm, except a booknewt instead.

Do you like Dragons (Cosmere and otherwise)?

Do you like WAYNE?

What are your opinions on Ebooks/Webnovels?

I absolutely like dragons. I think the Cosmere has an interesting twist on them,

Spoiler

particularly from what I've seen of the IotE preview chapters (do I have to spoiler that?)

Yes most of the time.

I'm not particularly opposed to them, I read Warbreaker that way for the first time.

Most of the time??

Why not ALL of the time??

I'll take a look at it! (I assume it's the link in your signature?)

He grated a bit on me occasionally, but overall he's a great character. Most of the time really means "nearly all the time, except for two or three sentences."

Assuming you’d be safe no matter where you went, if you could visit one place in the Cosmere, where would it be?

Welcome!
If you could invite any 6 Sanderson characters to a party, who would you invite?

 - Either Windrunners bc flying and also protecting people, or Truthwatcher bc that's what I would guess I'd get on the quiz (5 minutes later post-quiz) Actually I got Windrunner, which surprised me a bit, but makes sense bc I'm a veryyy protective oldest sister.

 - I did choir in 3rd and 4th grade, and still do "flash mob" choir (aka anyone can go up regardless of skill) occasionally on sundays, but I don't really do either regularly.

 - Soooo yeah this is a story. I tried to join the DnD club at my school this year, but then my parents got worried about my grades the same time meetings started happening, so I was in the chat all year but never actually got to go to a meeting. So interested in it, but never actually done it.

Either Roshar or Lumar. For admittedly similar reasons - they both seem so different from Earth. Also maybe going on my own (maybe spoilers for tWoK? But just an interlude)

Spoiler

Axies mission

and trying to hunt down as many spren as I can. Or messing around with all the different kinds of spores and seeing what cool stuff you can do with them. But Scadrial (post-Catacandre, bc even if I'm safe, I really don't want to have nightmares and be traumatized and see awful stuff happen) if Era 2 characters are around.

Probably Sazed, Hoid, Adolin, Steris, Kelsier, and Navani. (I would want to invite a lotttt more characters, these are not necessarily my favorites. Reasons vary.)

Sazed, Steris and Navani... we need all the scholars!

Adolin is just nice, but Hoid... so many people pick Hoid. He will arrive late, leave early and insult everyone while he's there. Although...

Do you think Steris would be able to counter Hoid's insults?
