Hi from Spain! Or is it Roshar? Who knows.

[TheToday He/him]

Well, hello there!

General Kenobi!

 

What can I say? I'm a nerd of SO many things and I have SO many guilty pleasures. And I don't even know which is which! From Marvel to Star Wars to LOTR to The Mummy movies to Shrek to whatever.

I could say that I don't dislike pineaple on pizza, but I don't wanna start a war either. Too late Eloy, too late damn!

 

So yeah, that's my name, Eloy. I'm a Spaniard -which is not a great country to be currently from, but hey, I love our food!- and my nickname here is a little joke of sorts. So in Spanish the masculine translation of the would be el, and the translation of today would be hoy. You put them together and remove the "h" letter, and... Voilà! That's my nickname, Eloy -> TheToday.

So yeah, I also have a pretty weird sense of humor. Sorry not sorry!

 

And well, lol. After all this nonsense mumbo jumbo I'm pretty sure you're thinking my my, where is this weirdo coming from? right now.

I've just told you, from Spain! Lol.

Jokes aside. There's not a lot I can think of, but I'm from Spain (have I told you that already?), so English is not my mother tongue. I try my best to comply though.

I've known about Sanderson's work for years now (I can still hear my former friends asking me a million times to read the Mistborn trilogy, and me refusing because I was too lazy to keep reading books by then. Stupid me!), but I just started reading his books by a year ago. I've started through Elantris, I've read a fair amount of the Arcanum Unbound novellas and I've been following my own Cosmere-Reading-Order handcrafter by my wisdomous-y and the fact that I've been checking and asking for SO MANY reading orders and I've just decided to follow this one. Which, to be fair, may suffer from more changes in the future. Who knows. I'm a crazy person, in case you haven't found out yet for yourself!

So I know the introduction topics are not about book questions and debates, but for the sake of introducing myself, I'm at this point now:

And heck. I've loved (and I mean LOVED) the Mistborn trilogy, but the Stormlight Archive has become the owner of my soul. I just can't keep reading, and I'm still half way there! I wanna finish it and I don't wanna finish it at the same time. Does that make any sense?

Anyway, see you/read you around! Looking forward to becoming a nice member of this community -or whatever you choose to call it) and get to know some or a lot of you.

Cheers! And...

Life before destination! No, wait. That wasn't it.
